Emphasis 02: White (part 1)

"IDIOT! Why didn't you think of this earlier?!" Sokka screamed at himself whilst trying to keep his grip on Appa as they sped through the sky, now thick with smoke as explosions wrecked the ground below. It had never occurred to Sokka that Hong would try to destroy the Northern Water Tribe, he had focused all his efforts in the Earth Country so much he had almost totally forgotten about the possibility Hong would take the Water Tribes so he could establish a more power front for the fire nation armies.

"Sokka! We're reaching the temple soon! You need to get off now so I can go back for the other's" Aang cried out through the sounds of battle and the wind, "I'm going to land now hang on!"

"No need for that Aang! I can make it down myself!" Sokka shouted back in response while tying a knot to Appa's saddle and coiling the other end of the rope around his arm. Gripping tight onto the rope he said a silent prayer and jumped off into the battle.

Unfortunately the rope snapped during his descent causing him to free fall to the ground thankfully covered with fresh soft snow.

Cursing as he tried to get to his feet Sokka drew his Machete trying to find his first target. But before he could he fell to his knees again his head throbbing feeling as if it would explode.

Touching the back of his head and bringing his hand to his face he realized it was stained red. Quickly whipping around, desperate to stay awake as his vision began to blur and blacken, he stuck his machete into the Fire Nation Soldier that towered over him. A small smile creeping on his face.

But as luck would have it after withdrawing his sword from the soldier's belly the soldier fell forward onto Sokka punching the air out of his lungs. Blindly flailing his arm around trying to reach for his weapon Sokka began to feel to feel suddenly very light headed, his eyelids fluttering as the world around him turned black.

A/N: Finally an Update after an eternity and with a chapter that probably wont be very well taken too…alas I cannot write battle scene… but as always I like Constructive Criticism and tips on how to improve my writing. Part 2 will be up soon. Extremely short yes I know.
