mother natures daughter

The Castle

It had been a few hours since Phil showed me to my room. I didn't have any possessions except for the stuff in the backpack I had when I came to L'manburg. I had taken a shower and found some fresh clothes left out for me. It was a white, frilled top with black jogfers that were dressed up to look fancy. I put it on and put my black boots back on. I decided to take a look at the journal of bending techniques that I had been keeping. I hadn't written anything down about and avatar. I flipped through it and ended up on the page that I wrote the day after my parents died. I had drawn the symbol that I same on the killers uniforms. It was a golden square with four lines attaching to a diamond at the center. As I shut the book, I heard muffled talking from the room next door. I pressed my head against the wall and heard Phil, will, and Techno talking. I couldn't make out everything they were saying, but I did hear my name mentioned a few times. I also kept hearing the words avatar and unusual. One thing that intrigued me was when I heard Techno mention that the date of my parents death lined up with the disappearance of mother nature and the avatars attacks. I decided it wasn't worth trying to pick up on the conversation and I went to bed instead. I layed on the satin sheets and began to slip into unconsciousness. As I slowly fell asleep I made small water bubbles above my head. As I fell deeper into through grasp of sleep, I saw a small cut on my arm open up once more. And just before i lost the battle to the clutches of sleep. I same the water bubbles turned from clear blue to a deep crimson red.

When morning Arrived I awoke fairly early. By the time I was fully dressed it was only 6.am. I didn't enjoy waking up early but I had to tend to farms so I needed as much time out of the day as I could get. I Looked out of my bedroom window and saw a training ground below me. I decided to grab my weapons from my backpack and slowly opened the window. I used an air ability to gently glide down to the ground. I began with archery, then moved onto sword and axe fighting, then hand to hand combat. After finishing those three I needed to practice my bending. But before I could start I saw the door to the indoor training room open and Techno walked out. He seemed surprised to see me.

"Uhhh, how long have you been out her?"

"What time is it?"

"7.am"

"Then I've been out for about an hour."

He must've seen the weapons I had put on one of the benches. Since he then asked if I wanted to train with him.

I said sure and we began moving towards a small fighting arena. He told me the rules.

No weapons

Only bending aloud

No deadly fights

Winner get bragging rights

After we both got ready we began. He tried to use some form of tornado like move to launch me out of the ring. Instead, I moved up through the tornado and stopped at the top. I summoned a slab of land to stand on and I dissolved the tornado. He seemed shocked that his move was countered so easily. I used a blood bending move to lift his body from the ground. I swirled a small fire storm around him. Then pinned him down using blood bending. I was quite happy to know I was going to win since he had been boasting about being an incredibly a killed fighter just before the match. I jumped back down to the floor and walked over to his body that was still lying on the ground

"Well, guess I win pinkie"

"Don't call me pinkie"

We both stared at each other with a grin on our faces. I could tell that the two of us were going to be great friends. With his body still on the floor. I couldn't help but boast my win one last time.

"You know the rules, winner gets bragging rights. Pinkie."
