   Summary

   A few years after the war, Toph feels like she is stuck and the only one losing touch with the rest of the team.

   When Aang sends a letter, inviting Toph to Republic City for a new festival celebrating the unity of all nations, Toph pushes down anxiety and goes to meet up her friends, confident that no turmoil could shake her ground… But what she does not expect is for the ground to be set aflame.
