In the long moments the kiss lasted for Zekelaz had been happier than he had ever been before in his life. When they finally parted it was with some reluctance on his part. The warmth and hapiness remained with him. Now not only did he respect Hou but he held much gratitude towards her. "l..." He went to say but could find no more words to acompany the letter. He was then content to stand back and take her entire image burned into his mind. He let out a braeth he didnt know he'd been holding releasing much of his heat. His heart was still racing. But he was thankful. The sun reflected in her eyes and gave her beauty a sureal glow. He grinned too.
Hou smiled, putting her hands over his shoulders. She looked down at the ground, noticing his shadow. A rapid look up into the sky and the sun made her realise that it was noon soon. At noon, they would be meeting at the temple and that would not be good if she arrived late.
"I guess we will have to stop here. I have a meeting to attend to. I believe you do too. I do not know what to say, other than...... thank you"
She smiled vaugely as she looked up in the direction of the village. She then looked back at Zekelaz with a smile, holding her hand over his shoulder.
"Come on" She said, starting to walk in the direction of the temple.

Zuru groaned and lifted his legs up before swinging them back down, flames emitting from the heels as it rocketed him upwards and onto his feet. "I'm fine, Lady Uno." He smiled, deciding to show off, then. He put a hand on the pillar and flipped upside-down, merely holding himself up with his palm, his feet and hands sticking out as he sent visible electricity from his appendages, nothing like thunderbolts, just small sparks of blue currents.
"I still find earth the most fascinating element. It is both handy and strong, perfect for most situations. The meeting is soon to be held. Will you be attending?"
She smiled at Zuru as he showed of. She was impressed, but decided not to show it clearly. She was proud of her bending and she loved it too. She did not bare have anyone try to claim how much better a different element was. She just smiled and waved at him, starting to walk towards the temple.
"Come on" She said with a smile.

|The Meeting|
[Everyone is there]
Hou stood up infront of everyone.
"I am glad you could all make it here in time. I am sorry for the rush and I can understand that some of you wished to sleep in a little longer. However, both me and Sokka here agreed that the search has to take haste. I brought you a map that will aid you trough your journey. I realised how dangerous it would be to mark out positions on the map, if the information got into the wrong hands, so instead of me putting the fact on paper I will be going with you. Our first move is to head for the earth kingdom. Once we get our feets onto the boat, I will explain our way of travel from there.
In the earth kingdom we will meet up with Iroh. He will help us with a few things before eventually acompany us on our search. I believe he might be to use in more than just one way. He is very trustable, but we have to make haste. If the firenation finds out he will be aiding us on the search and then find him, he will not be of much use to us. Or the world ever again, unfortunatly."
Hou spoke, holding a map up. She pointed at a half-island just north of Kyoshi where they would go harbor with the boats that they would take from Kyoshi Island. With a smile, she walked up to the door as she folded the map. She smiled at everyone in the group, hoping they would not mind having her come along on their quest. She might not follow them the whole way, depending on Iroh. She would speak to him once they meet and if things seemed safe enough, herit her knowledge of the locations to him and then head back to Kyoshi Island.
Uno smiled, getting up from her sitting position. She stomped the ground and a gentle push by a rock from beneath forced everyone to their feet. She then clapped excitingly with her hands and pointed down the hill towards the sea and harbor.
"Everyone rise. We are departing. Everyone will meet up down at the harbor by the longboat. From there we will sail to closest mainland and go by foot to the meeting point of Iroh. Yippety-yipp-yipp everyone. We do not got all day"
Uno smiled greatly as she stood elegantly like a statue and pointed down towards the ocean. She felt so grown up.
"By the way, is there any questions or comment you wish to ask or state before we leave?" Uno asked quickly, feeling both formal and adult.
Miyu listened from the back and when she had dismissed everyone she was the first one to leave and head back out towards the sea where the boat was waiting. She stood next to the boat as she stood in the water for a few moments with her eyes closed. She looked to be really concentrating as if trying to sense something.
Zuru sighed softly, following Uno quietly as he followed behind the group. "The great General Iroh.. He'll be able to teach me.." He looked in awe to the bright sun in the sky. "Maybe this will be fun, after all.." He smiled to himself, watching the cluster of people move closer and closer to the harbor.
Zekel hung back til everyone had left hoping to catch Hou...alone. Secerately he hoped that Hou would be coming with them. [zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz im really tired now.]
"That Iroh exactly"
Uno smiled greatly and patted Jamar on the back as he walked by. She was looking forward meeting Iroh as well, as she had heard so much about him. He was in most scripts and as good as a legend among most. His feats was impressive and his wisdom alike. For now, she however looked more forward to spend time with the group than to meet some old relic man who has to be in the final years of his life or something.
Hou arrived by the boat and climbed onboard. There she stood by the edge and watched as the groupmembers slowly came closer. She prayed that they would do good on this task and she prayed that they would not stumble across the same fate that her old group of Kyoshi Warriors happend to walk into. A mysterious disappearance.
[FINALLY. Time to go hit the hay in the bedroom. Who's bunking together. Men and men. Women and women. Or unisex?]
Zuru continued walking at a leisurely pace, his eyes scanning the cluster of people before him. "Where's Uno?" He thought out loud, his arms folded across his chest. He sighed somewhat, smoke tendrils slipping from his nostrils as he breathed from his nose.
He stopped at the harbor as he waited for everyone to load themselves onto the boat. "This is going to be the greatest adventure.. It's going to be such an honor meeting the new avatar and traveling with him or her.." He looked up, his face showing a clear grin of excitement. "And I'm ready for all of it."
[Una sounds so much better. >_>; ]
[No set order in the boat. You sleep wherever you like, whenever and with whoever 😄]
Una smiled and waved Jamar of as she trough the earth heard her name being said. She smiled that she was actually asked for, which has to have been the first time someone asked for her that was not part of the Kyoshi band of warrior. She recognized the voice as Zuru, the firebender she had stumbled over before. The funny guy and she saw him by the boat as she approached.
She kindly waved at him, walking up and standing in front of him with a smile, her hands behind her back.
["Stupid is who stupid does" 😇 ]
"Are you thinking about sleeping at a moment like this? We are going out on a wild adventure and we will meet some of the legends that this kingdom holds and all you think about is a bed?"
She giggled as she got onboard. It was sweet of him to offer her to board first, which she gladely accepted. She slipped onboard quickly and then turned in his direction. Since he seemed to be the one in a hurry and the one knowing what he wanted, she would gladely follow him to wherever he wanted. She was excited that she had made a friend so soon and it had not even begun yet.
"She is onboard already. We are just waiting for the seaserpent to move along before we set sails. It is around this time of the day it passes the outer waters of Kyoshi Island. Once it has moved along we are good to go"
She smiled at Zuru and giggled before nodding.
"I love sleeping, but I can not see how you can think of something like that right now"
"Oh, well. When you find her, tell her I'll be on the front of the ship." Zuru said, shrugging some. "And if you want to see me later, I guess I'll be in a bed somewhere below deck." He flashed a tiny grin. "Just don't think I'll be sharing the big cozy one I find."
With that, Zuru moved, walking along the side of the ship as the sun beat down heavily. "It gets hot with all this armor on.." He cautiously undid a leather strap along his back which was connected to the steel manica he wore on his left arm. He decided he'd go catch a spot below deck to bunk. He leaped from the deck of the ship, down the stairs and bounded to the right towards the cots and hammocks.
Zuru dropped the manica in his arms on the chest in front of a large cot, one he thought would be ideal for his needs. He struck the top of trunk with his fingertips, etching his name into the wood by emitting flames from his hand. "Perfect.." He grinned.
