I came up with this while watching the Southern Raiders.

Disclaimer: I do not own ATLA, I think you know the drill by now.

"The monks used to say that revenge is like a two-headed rat-viper; while your enemy goes down, you're being poisoned yourself." Aang said.

Later that night

Katara and Zuko were preparing to take off on Appa to find the Southern Raiders. While Katara was preparing to get onboard, Aang and Sokka came out of their hiding place.

"So you're just going to take Appa anyway?" Aang asked angrily.

"Yes." Katara said coldly.

"It's okay, because I forgive you…" Aang said. Then he smiled. "That give you any ideas?" his voice was full of hope.

"Don't try to stop us."

"I wasn't planning to." he said as he faced her. "This is a journey you need to take. You need to face this man. But when you do, please, don't choose revenge. Please remember who you really are. You're not a vengeful person Katara. You're a loving, caring person; but most of all, you're forgiving. If you kill him, you won't be any better than him. So when you find him, just remember who you are."

Katara was facing Yan Ra. Zuko told the man to look Katara in the eyes, to remember what he did on his last raid on the Southern Water Tribe. It was then the ex-soldier understood that he was in a lot of trouble.

After finding out that Kya had lied to Yan Ra, Katara told him that her mother did so to protect the last southern waterbender; her. She stopped the rain from falling around them and gathered as much water she could and started to launch hundreds of ice daggers at him.

It was then that she heard a voice saying: "Just remember who you are." Using all of her willpower, she stopped the daggers at the last second, leaving Yan Ra sobbing in the rain.
