Kinora: Hypnotism

The Heartbroken Girl

Up to four readers! Yay!

The heartbroken girl willed the winds to respond to her strong emotions and propelled her faster than she'd ever gone before. She flew low in the trees surrounding the temple, dodging and weaving through the forest.

Rocks jutted up out of the ground, pushing her higher into the air. They were following her. She couldn't lead them to the house. To her family.

Jinora made a sharp turn, heading towards the city of Ba Sing Se's Upper Ring. She flew low enough above the roofs of the city that she couldn't be easily spotted, but high enough to be out of the way. She twisted and turned around the city, dropping to the ground in a run every now and then to try and ditch whoever was still chasing her.

Finally, she was cornered by the fountain. The fountain where she first saw Kai's green eyes.

The eyes she would never see again.

Dai Li agents circled her, and she pulled her hood low over her face. The only thing they saw of her face was her grieving scowl and the tears running down her face.

She gripped her staff and sent powerful gusts of wind at each man. She spun her staff and created a small tornado, gaining power and speed as she spun her whole body. Wind is the easiest element to begin to manipulate. Calm winds is child's play for any beginner. The trouble is learning to control air in the rougher weathers.

Airbending in a natural storm isn't easy. A tornado is nearly impossible. Creating one, and controlling it is only for high level monks like her father, who is a Grand Master. Not even regular masters can do it.

But Jinora's rage and grief fueled her. She wasn't scared. Kai was gone. The Airbenders were gone. Because of her rash actions, she had even less a chance at freeing them than she did before. Her father and grandfather's dream of rebuilding the Air Nation was crumbling down around her feet, and it was all. Her. Fault.

Kai was breaking out of the hypnosis and becoming who he really was. He was sneaky and stealthy, funny and witty. His smile was glowing and contagious as it radiated fun and a constant laugh was always pulling it up. Jinora loved every part of him more and more each moment they were together. Despite her father's warnings to stay away from boys, Jinora had gone and fallen in love. She had fallen in love and fallen hard. In a matter of days her heart was completely given to Kai.

But she would never see his smile again. The Dai Li would mind-bend him again and he wouldn't remember her. Not the nights they spent together, not the laughs they shared or the experiences they had. He wouldn't be there tomorrow. Not the same time, or the same place. All because she couldn't wait for her father.

Maybe he was right. Maybe she wasn't ready to be a master Airbender. Not if she made rash decisions like this. Decisions that cost a whole nation.

She spun her body and her staff in circles and the wind swirling around her increased in strength and speed until all the Dai Li agents were spinning thirty feet in the air. Bricks were ripped off roofs. Glass windows shattered. Paint peeled. The water from the fountain joined her whirlwind of terror. The Dai Li didn't think once about hurting her nation, so she didn't think twice about what she was creating. She knew if she did, she'd back down. But Jinora wasn't backing down now.

Finally, Jinora thrust her hands down and the entire tornado disappeared in a matter of seconds.

The sun was higher now, and her father would be waking up about now. She summoned her glider and took off once again.

The heartbroken girl needed her dad.
