He stood in the dark cell and welcomed it. After his year surround by the light, he appreciated darkness. "Do you believe what they say about him?" someone asked. "No, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to follow orders," the other replied. Then it was quiet again, for a long period of time. Two people would come every year to repeat the same job, but over time they forgot why. Some saying it was tradition, others saying it were some weird warning or threat, but only one could have known the truth. That person didn't know, for this boy became trapped in ice before he could be told.

"This isn't a good idea," Katara warned. She stared at Aang her brother. They had heard about this place wear a tradition each year happens where an earth and fire master would come to build a coating around the sphere from the last year of the same elements. "Come on aren't you the least bit curious to what is inside?" Aang asked. Katara let out a puff of air. She had to admit she was curious as well. "I heard that it was started the day the Avatar disappeared and a few days after the fire nation started their attacks against..." Katara's brother but was cut off by Katara jamming her elbow in his stomach. They looked to Aang whom had gotten sad just from hearing that. "Come on let's break this big boy!" Katara's brother cheered.

He could hear it. The Earth was breaking. The Fire was dying. His Freedom was here. He opened his eyes as the final casing of earth broke bringing in the sky as it did so. He tumbled out onto the ground and took in great amount of air. He looked up to see three people. He let out a small half-hearted laugh. "What took you so long Avatar?" he asked sarcastically before he passed out.

They all looked at Aang while he looked wide-eyed back at them. Clockwork laughed as he watched the scene. And then turned to look into a different screen that showed an oncoming battle. "It has begun," Clockwork stated.
