Hi guys! Thanks for the wonderful reviews we had finally made the 100 mark! Thanks to the 100th reviewer Kataang19 who bought us to the great triple number. Okay, you asked about a prize yes? Well, um… maybe I'll write a one shot of your choice! Okay... so sorry about taking a month to update. School is back and I haven't really had a lot of time to type. So, this is the last chapter of RIEW, and it is going be short because the previous chap was the last. This is more like a… epilogue? Alright, let's get this story over with!
Please read, review and Enjoy!
The next, bright sunny day bought happiness to the teens that stayed in Omashu. Katara was out with her two best friends, while Sokka and Aang had some 'man' time. Nothing was out of the ordinary really. People hustled through the streets tugging shopping bags or work bags along. Food and jewelry stands were pretty much abandoned due to some weird reason. Whatever said reason was, it sure was affecting many citizens. If someone was to actually pay attention to where the hustle and bustle was headed, they would figure out something was wrong.
The shoppers didn't have clothes or home appliances, they had cans of food and water jugs to last them for months. The stands were abandoned, but they were cleared and had little signs that specifically read "Out of Business." Minute by minute the once live city was becoming a ghost town. King Bumi himself was locked away in his castle, his stoic guards protecting every entrance possible.
Katara, Suki and Toph didn't let the strange tension go by unnoticed. Toph would cringe by how scared and nervous the vibrations became. It wasn't right… something was going to happen soon but what the hell was it? The girls stopped at a nearby water fountain and looked at their surroundings. Not a single soul dared to come back out of their hiding spots.
"This is really weird," Katara said looking as people shut their windows constantly.
"I know, it's like, something major is about to happen…" Suki trailed off.
Not too long after her statement, her boyfriend and new friend appeared with shadowed eyes. Both boys didn't quite fit their normal personalities to a T today. They seemed possessed, or very very dull. Katara and Suki shivered by their grand entrance and didn't say anything once they arrived. Sokka looked at the ground, wide icy eyes blank and lifeless. Aang looked even worse. His stormy eyes were grayer than usual, and he seemed paler. Whatever their game, or joke was none of the girls seemed to be laughing.
But, when Sokka looked up to meet Katara's eyes, there was no flash of mischievousness, there was nothing. Aang kept his eyes glued to the ground as if he saw something interesting. Suki couldn't take the silence and she decided to speak up.
"What's wrong with you two, you both seem as if ya had seen a ghost!"
Both boys cringed and looked frightened.
"Suki, it's way worse…" Sokka said lowly as he began to dig into his bag.
Once he pulled out a rolled up sheet of paper, all three girls widened their eyes. Sokka handed it gingerly to Katara, despite how bad his hand was shaking. She stared at it for a moment and looked at him.
"Jus-just open it…" he stuttered.
Katara looked at Suki who nodded in agreement. Her own shaky hand retrieved the paper and she opened it slowly, bright eyes going wide by the second.
"W-what is it?" Suki and Toph both said.
The princess dropped the revealed letter and looked down to the ground. Her own eyes were casted and shadowed as she let tears fall. But before she spoke, she prayed to the spirits that what she was going to do didn't have them angry with her.
"T-the Fire Nation…" she said lowly turning to face two shivering girls. Katara was still crying, but behind the sadness was a hidden flame of rage. "They commenced war on the Northern Tribe."

Oh yeah! Yes it's done! No more Raging Inferno, Extinguishing Water! Ha-ha, okay, if any of you really want me to, I'll make a sequel, but c'mon… this is a MASSIVE cliffhanger, of course you'd want more. *prays they want more* Anyway, I did say that it was going to be short because it's either and ending, or a new beginning? Whatever the case, it had to end like that, so um… review one last time and watch out for another installment of *sounds drum roll* Ecstatic Earth, Staid Air.
