Sweat beaded on his brow, his amber eyes scanning the treeline with predatory intensity. “The Avatar was spotted nearby,” he hissed, voice tight with urgency. “Every minute wasted is a minute he slips away.” He practically dragged you forward, branches whipping at their clothes. Suddenly, the bushes parted. Standing there, bathed in dappled sunlight, was Team Avatar. Zuko’s lips curled into a sharp, triumphant smirk.
