((Why thank you, Dusteh.))

Dravius laughed again, a sound that sliced through the air. His hainds lit, flames dancing around his face. "I'm really not supposed to leave the palace you know. Too unstable. Uncontrollable. Like trying to control fire." Dravius pointed two fingers at Erin and smiled. An arc of lightning snaked towards her, then veered off at the last moment, setting a tree alight.

"I don't doubt it." Erin muttered, just loud enough that Dravius would here her. She cringed when the lightning struck a tree, blinking with shock. What the hell- She thought, immediately pulling some water out of the stream and dousing the fire.
"I said I'm leaving." She growled, whipping around to face him. "Run back to your palace, Dravius. Blowing up trees isn't doing much good for anyone here, and it certainly isn't winning the war for you."
She turned around again and faced Aurora and Ash. "You two coming?" She asked quietly, suddenly sounding worried.

 Ash nodded,"I am coming...I have only dreamed of helping stop this horrible war." Ash said.

 Aurora looked from Erin to Dravius,"I don't know..." She said trying to decide weather she wanted to get on the prices bad side.

 Aurora looked down at her feet,"Okay." She said still not too sure.

((G2G))

Dravius smiled once more and took a step back, seeming to melt into the trees. "Have memorable trip..." Echoed from the trees, followed by another cold laugh that seemed to rebound off the trees and magnify in volume until it seemed hundreds of the mad prince were mocking the young avatar.

As Dravius entered the palace, a streak of red and yellow smacked into his chest, sending him staggaring back. Looking down, he saw a girl of about 10 or 11, giggling and clining to his cloak. "You're back, brother!" The girl squealed, and giggled as her long black braid swung down her back. Dravius leaned down and kissed the top of her head, remarking, "It's good to be back." "I've been working on my swordplay, brother!" The Fire Nation princess exclaimed happily. Draavius looked up with a small smile on his face, quickley spreading until he said with a mask full of malice, "Saray, would you like to take a bit of a trip?"

As the Mad Prince and the Princess walked towards the rhino stables, it shook with the bellows of the beasts inside. Poking her head through the door, Saray skipped towards the rhinos and patted the smallest one on the head. Dravius lifted his petite sister onto the rhino and swung himself onto another. Still with a smile on his face, he slapped Saray's rhino on the rump and kicked his own, barreling out the door in a Westerly direction. "Where are we going, Dravie?" Saray asked. "To the western border port, and then to a VERY special Air Temple. Think of it as a training excercise. The point is to capture the girl I got to help us with the game. She's water tribe, and very important to get." Saray clapped her hands and smiled, her small face contoring into a mask of pure evil.

 Aurora shivered as the cold laughter echoed through the trees,"We should leave...It isn't good to have someone like him hunt you down." Aurora said. She heard a quiet spring noie as two of her knives sprung from the stilettos. She smiled holding them in her hand and turned back towards Ash,"Were is Spark?" She asked talking abouthis giant pet lizard. It was great at travling and could probably carey Ash and the avatar,"I will have you and the avatar leave and I will stay a little ways behind to make sure no one follows us." She said.

 "Good idea." Ash said. He whistled calling Spark. 

 "Yep." Ash said hearing something come running through the bushes. Spark flicked its tongue out sniffing Erin. it nelt down on the ground allowing Ash to hop on,"This is Spark." Ash said holding his hand out towards Erin.

 Aurora looked around,"Okay I won't be too far behind so don't worry about me." Aurora said,"Air temple? You still need to learn Air bending?" She asked,"This is going to be harder then I thought."
