Takeo, Amala, and Roku arrive shortly. I kiss my mother goodbye, pat Mai's grave, and climb onto the bison. Roku takes my bag and buckles it onto the giant saddle.
"We will make him write you every week," Amala promises my mother. She nods, tears rolling gently down her soft cheeks. I wave as Amala yells, " Tak Tak".
We rise like a balloon and the bison's tail waves up and down. I watch how the bison bends the air around. We ride for about an hour before I look down and see flames in the woods nearby.
"What's going on?" I ask
"I'll check," Amala lowers the bison and once we land, we start seeing lightning and Tekeo runs towards the fight. I sprint with him and we find two men, lighting benders, fighting and screaming profanity at each other. One of them, a man with a giant scar across his whole body looks at me. His square jaw is clenched and he looks at me like a psycho. He yells so loud I have to put my hands to my ears. I watched him separate the lightning so fast all I could do was put my hands up to protect myself.
When the lightning hit me, I fell to the ground, moaning. My hands black and smoking and Takeo had already taken out both men. He gently picked me up and ran towards the other, screaming so loud the whole island probably could hear him. All I could do was lay there, closing my eyes and knowing that the absence of feeling in my hands was not good at all.
