S1 Ep11: The Great Divide

I gently tied my boots on hearing Sokka rustling with setting up the tent it was quite a sad sight to see because of the noise he is making, Katara arrived back holding the firewood she didn't look pleased by the tent.

"Um, aren't you forgetting the tarp?" She asked Sokka who was currently crawling out of the tent

"Right. Got it." Sokka picked up the tarp putting it into into the tent.

Katara unamused by this frowned "Sokka, you're supposed to put the tarp on top of the tent. You know, so we don't get rained on?"

"Ordinarily you'd be right but seeing how it's the dry season. you're not" Sokka retorted bending down to secure the tent "Besides that tarp makes a pretty warm blanket"

"But what if it does rain?" Katara continued to rain Sokka with questions

"What if it doesn't then i would have put the tarp up for nothing" Sokka said choosing to stick with his choice

Katara angrily stomped her foot "Uh! You're infuriating" she screamed

Sokka glanced in her direction "Katara, why don't you worry about gathering the firewood because that kindling's looking pretty sorry" he referenced the sticks in her arms.

"Well if you don't like my firewood--" Katara threw all of the firewood at Sokka

Sokka stood up tall "Fine, if you're not gonna do your job--" he pulled the wires taking down the tent frustrated

Aang and I exchanged the same look of wanting this to end and Aang decided to take charge "Listen guys, harsh words won't solve problems. Action will. Why don't you just switch jobs"

Katara and Sokka agreed with what Aang said doing their task, Aang proudly smiled glancing towards me "You see that? Settling feuds and making peace. All in a day's work for the avatar"

I started chuckling at his words "You don't know a thing about siblings Aang, the bickering never ends" a sharpened my swords holstering them

Aang separated a melon giving the bigger half to Appa and the little half to Momo and he again sorted out a feud ending it peacefully and while i had respect for this, it brought me back.

As I sat in the barn, I closed my eyes and focused on my breathing. Suddenly, I instinctively moved out of the way of an incoming fireball, quickly followed by several more. I skillfully dodged them one by one, slipping out of a window and propelling myself into the air with a burst of firebending.

As I landed softly on the ground, I saw my little brother standing there, completely oblivious to my presence. I couldn't resist the opportunity to play a little prank on him. "Boo!" I whispered, startling him into a frenzy of projectile attacks. But I effortlessly ducked and weaved, eventually extending my foot and tripping him up. Our training session was over for the day.

"You did well, little brother," I said, helping him up. "But you still need to work on your listening skills."

He pouted and crossed his arms. "That was unfair. You cheated!"

"I did not!" I protested.

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!" I insisted, as our dad suddenly appeared, grabbing us both by our collars and separating us.

"Settle down, boys," he said with a stern expression.

As my dad took my little brother out for a long walk, I headed inside, still feeling frustrated. I sat down at the table, and my mother noticed my mood right away. Without a word, she brought over a plate of food and placed it in front of me.
