The Gaang (as Sokka calls them) is travelling through a captured earth kingdom, keeping their heads to not be noticed by firenation soldiers that are roaming the streets rounding up any earthbenders in the village.

When they hear screaming in the middle of the village centre. They move towards it to see a riot, villagers trying to push against soldiers attempting to get to a young boy chained at a post. You. your wrists chained above you, forced onto your knees infront of everyone. Clearly you were important as the villagers were rioting.

“SETTLE DOWN!” A soldier yells but the villagers don’t listen.

They also notice another boy around your age pushing extra hard to get to you.

Sokka and Zuko are already looking at Aang asking what to do, but and Katara are already already approaching the scene.
