Opening my eyes, I silently stared at the ceiling for a good ten minutes while recalling the events from last night, causing my sleeping member to twitch in response; rubbing my face, I glanced down at Hina, who was lying atop my chest with nothing but a blanket covering the two of us.
Seeing as she was still sleeping, I remained still and closed my eyes, intending to wait for when she awoke, but even after nearly an hour, she didn't wake up, prompting me to gently push her off my body before exiting the bed and standing up.
Doing a bit of stretching as I had gotten slightly stiff, I reached down and put my clothes on while, though while doing so, I heard faint movement from behind.
"Couldn't even wait for me to awaken?" Asked Hina softly with a faint smile as she glanced at Aang, who awkwardly looked at her.
"I-I can't waste too much time; the Earth Kingdom may be getting attacked as we speak." Replied Aang lightly as he glanced at Hina, who nodded with a wry smile before sighing.
"Haa, the duties of man, I suppose." Muttered Hina quietly as she looked at Aang, who grabbed his bo-staff and approached the door.
"Thanks for last night, Hina… I-I enjoyed it." Said Aang softly with a faint blush as he kept his back to Hina, holding the door's handle while she smiled.
"Of course, Aang. I-I also really enjoyed it; last night also made me realize you're really strong." Remarked Hina lightly as she looked at Aang, only to awkwardly avert her gaze, causing him to smile wryly before opening the door, revealing Hana.
"Hana?" "M-Mom!?" Remarked Aang and Hina, respectively, as the former raised an eyebrow while the latter subconsciously hid under the blanket, concealing her breasts.
"Hehehe, congratulations! See, I knew it would only be a matter of time before you two got together!" Stated Hana with an excited smile as she hugged Aang before twirling in a circle, causing him to cough awkwardly.
"So, when shall I receive my first grandchild? Oh, please tell me it will happen in nine months." Added Hana with a smile as she looked at Aang, who looked at Hina for help.
"Haa, my goodness, Mom! There will be no child; besides, it's not like right now is a good time to have a child." Said Hina while groaning in annoyance as she sat-upright, holding the blanket to cover herself.
"Eh, no child? Then where do you think you're going? Get back in there and make my daughter scream!" Remarked Hana with a frown as she shifted her gaze to Aang before pushing him towards Hina.
Seeing how things were quickly escalating, I did a backflip over Hana, landing behind her while exiting the room.
"Um, Hina, I apologize in advance, but could you explain to Hana? I-I have to get going." Asked Aang with an apologetic expression as he glanced at Hina, who nodded before leaving the mother-daughter duo.
Exiting the igloo, I glanced over at Appa, who hadn't moved an inch since falling asleep, causing me to roll my eyes as I approached him.
"Alright, buddy, time to wake up; we've got a long trip ahead of us." Said Aang softly as he gently woke Appa from his nap, causing him to growl while pushing him away.
Catching myself before I fell, I sighed before spending the five minutes trying to wake up Appa, who finally relented and stood up, though he didn't look exactly happy.
"You slept for so long. Don't be like that, Appa." Said Aang blandly as he looked at Appa, who growled before looking away, causing him to sigh while leaping onto his back.
"North Appa… Yip-yip." Said Aang lightly as he pointed north before snapping the reins, causing Appa to roar before flapping his tail, pushing himself off the ground and into the air.
As we flew through the sky, I glanced behind at the village, only to furrow my brows while shifting my gaze to the ocean, an idea quickly forming.
"Appa, let's make a detour." Said Aang softly as he patted Appa's shoulder, prompting them to make a U-turn mid-air, heading out to sea.

"You're the reason I'm getting grey hairs, Hina. You know that?" Said Hana in frustration as she rubbed her head while glancing at Hina, who rolled her eyes.
"Mom, I'm a grown woman, okay? I can give myself to any man; besides, Aang is going somewhere dangerous. I-I didn't have anything to offer him, so I figured, if anything were to happen to him, I could at least let him experience a night with a woman." Remarked Hina with a frown as she folded her arms while eyeing Hana before biting her lip and lowering her head with a worried expression.
"But why did you give your first time to a man you've no intention of marrying!?" Exclaimed Hana in slight anger as she glared at Hina, who awkwardly coughed before averting her gaze, causing her to lifelessly slump onto her chair.
"Haa, you've taken at least a decade off my life." Added Hana with a deep sigh while Hina sheepishly smiled, only for the door to suddenly bust open as someone entered.
"H-Hana! Hina! Q-Quickly, y-you must come and see this!" Exclaimed an older man as he shifted his gaze between Hina and Hana before quickly exiting, causing them to furrow their brows in confusion.
Giving Mom a weird look, I exited the igloo while she followed behind me, only for us to stop with shocked expressions as we stared at the center of the village, where a pile of hundreds, if not maybe thousands, of fish were flopping on the ground snowy ground.
"S-So much food." Muttered Hana with wide eyes as she stood beside Hina while staring at the massive pile of fish.
"T-The Air-Nomad did this! A-After he left, he returned with a massive vortex of floating fish before dropping it here!" Remarked the Village Chief as he smiled joyfully before shifting his gaze to Hina in the distance.
'Aang, huh? That little rascal… Haa, if only he weren't an Air Nomad.' Mused Hina with a faint smile as she gazed into the sky with a longing look before lowering her head and sighing.

Since I was empty on food, I had Appa continue our detour out into the sea in search of someplace to restock my supplies, and after an hour or so, we finally came across two Fire-Nation Ships sailing beside each other, a sight that caused me to faintly smile.
"I'm sure they've got food. What do you think, Appa?" Asked Aang with a faint smirk as he looked at Appa, who eagerly nodded, causing him to chuckle.
"Wait here, Appa; I'll clear the ships." Added Aang lightly as he stood up and grabbed his bo-staff off his back.
Leaping off Appa's back, I rapidly descended towards the ground before using my glider to fly through the sky as I headed straight for the two ships, unaware of my presence.
Landing onto the center of the deck, I rolled to offset the force of the impact before thrusting my palms forward, knocking two soldiers off the ship and into the water.
"ATTACK!!" "AIR-NOMAD!!" "ATTACK!" Yelled multiple soldiers as they glanced at Aang while quickly entering combat.
As I observed the many Fire-Nation soldiers, I faintly frowned as some unpleasant memories resurfaced.
'Though, I'm far stronger now.' Thought Aang lightly while watching several soldiers launch a fireball towards him.
Eyeing the large fire-ball that dwarfed me, I wryly smiled as it looked so small compared to all those years ago; spinning my bo-staff, I thrust it forward, dispersing the large fireball before thrusting my palm, knocking several soldiers off balance.
Dashing towards the dazed soldiers, I clenched my fists and punched specific parts of their bodies with speed and masterful skill, causing every person to collapse onto the ground, unable to move, let alone bend. Their armor offered no protection against my fists, as unlike Ty Lee, I was a grown man, not a young girl, and the force behind my fists was incomparable.
Once I finished dealing with more than ten soldiers, I pushed off the ground with a small vortex, giving me a slight boost as I soared through the sky, dispersing every fireball headed my way with a swing of my bo-staff before landing in a group of soldiers, preventing them attacking me with bending lest they wished to harm their own.
"AHHHH, DIE!!" Yelled several soldiers as they all lunged toward Aang, who suddenly touched his fists together, creating a rapidly expanding vortex.
Flinging the soldiers overboard, I dashed across the ship's deck, dodging attacks from a distance before retaliating with gusts of wind that either dazed them long enough for me to get close to finish by blocking their chi or simply knocked them overboard.
After a few minutes, I came to a halt as I neared the Captain of the ship, who was shivering in fear, causing me to raise an eyebrow.
"You… You participated in the Invasion six years ago, didn't you?" Asked Aang softly with a frown as he gazed at the fearful Captain, who flinched at his words.
"A-Avatar." Mutted the Captain nervously as he gazed at Aang, who nodded before holstering his bo-staff.
Narrowing my eyes, I pushed off the ground, lunging towards the Captain, who swiftly retaliated, but with fear already consuming his heart, I hardly had to do anything before I reached him.
Punching his dantian, I followed up with two to the chest and a final one to the side of his neck, causing him to unconsciously fall to the ground.
"One ship down. One more to go." Muttered Aang lightly with a yawn as he glanced at the second ship in the distance.
