Chapter 70

A sacrifice a day keeps the grim reaper away. Pakku stood opposite of me, and by his stance, I could tell that while he had a nonchalant look on his face, the old man was on guard. With a normal spear in my hand, I wondered how I should beat him?

The water around him moved like a serpent as he shot it at me. Katara looked on anxiously, worried about her well-being.

Don't look so down, little sister. Your brother isn't that weak, even against a waterbender in his habitat. 

Charging at Pakku, I felt the ground under me shift, as it turned into water. I was barely able to jump away and not be submerged in water. 

Water circulated him as he shot out some ice projectiles, waterbending had both good defensive and attacking. While the old man's mindset might be a little outdated, he was a master waterbender and showed that clearly. 

I felt the chilly feeling before the attack even came and had to jump up as the ground turned into icy spikes. If I openly used waterbending, then Pakku wouldn't be too much of a challenge. 

While I was mid-air, instead of attacking, he turned the ice around him into water, with only a small slab of ice to stand on. "You might be a good spearman, but you choose the wrong fight. No matter how good, without footing, you can't even get close to me. If we were on land, I would have lost. But here… the advantage I have is too overwhelming."

"You really like the sound of your voice, old man," hearing my chuckles, his eyes narrowed in anger. 

As I was about to land on the ground, spears of ice came mercilessly. There were over a dozen of them. You know, he might be trying to kill me, or at least hurt me very badly. That wasn't smart of him because if he is willing to hurt me, then I will return the favor too.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Using my spear, I broke all the ice but was pushed back by the attacks. Feeling the ground below me get softer again, as if to turn into water, I jumped to the side and immediately charged at him, halting at the end of the pond and using every ounce of my agility and strength to leap at him. 

He tried to attack, I did backflip mid-air and changed my position slightly. Just enough to dodge each ice attack. 

Pakku's eyes widened as he saw me get close to him. He tried to move his hands, but it was too late as using the blunt side of my spear I hit his throat and left him gasping. With the momentum of my leap, I tackled him and we were both thrown outside of the water pond, getting up immediately after I pointed my spear at the old man. "There when you were hit with the blunt part of my spear, I could have used the sharp side. Also, even in the beginning, you underestimated me. So if I threw my spear then, you would have been dead."

While he had been on guard from the beginning, Pakku had grossly underestimated me. I couldn't put all the blame on him, as by now my movements were bordering on the supernatural. I was stronger than my size suggested, and I was also faster than strength might suggest. My body has become something unnatural.

Standing up, I looked every spectator in the eye and spread my arms in a welcoming manner. "Anyone who wants to fight me, or disagrees with my opinion. Come forward, this is your chance. Show me that your traditions are worth following, or maybe they are just something holding you back. Outdated traditions have no place anywhere. You are losing valuable waterbenders just because you are stubborn. To me right now you are a foolish tribe, as only fools would do something like this."
