Come back to me."įingertips, brushed light as a feather across his cheekbone. “Agni knows I’ve never been so- I need you to be alright. “The healer said the wound is completely healed, but you just won’t wake up.”Ī shaky sigh, so close that Sokka feels the warm breath blow across his face. “-three days, Sokka, I can’t-” the voice breaks off, choked with emotion. He closes his eyes against the sudden burn of tears, and then. What were they thinking? What was he thinking? Tui and La, they’re all just children, they should never have thought they could accomplish this. The Duke is bawling, and Teo and Haru are clutching at their own fathers, babbling promises through wet eyes-promises of reunions that are hopeful at best and delusional at worst, and Sokka can’t bear it. Not again, he thinks desperately, not him too, oh Spirits, we’ve lost too much already.

They all know what this retreat will cost them. Toph and Aang flank his side, faces grim. The savage heat of the Fire Nation sun, no longer shielded by the eclipse, scorches his feet as he rushes out to where the others are gathered. It’s the Day of Black Sun, and Sokka has never felt more helpless.
