Katara turned, and the angry tears made it easier to focus, and there was such anger on her face it was unmistakable. Her fists clenched, her body ready. She understood now: this was something that the Nightmare King had thought up, was using to make her weak. She could see that now, and a moment later, Kya was frozen in place. She looked flustered, shocked, and Katara didn't wipe her eyes. She knew now what she had to do: stand and fight.

"How DARE you try to use her against me!" Katara thundered, and it was as if her village became her weapon, snow and ice now starting to bend to her, a dome of water now surrounding mother and daughter.

"I have a message for your King, if he's not too much of a coward to show up," Katara said. "We are coming, and we are strong, and we will NOT be victims to his attack. Now you stay the hell out of my dreams, NOW."
