It seems Willow has already learned how to grow some basic plants, today all of you will learn how to control your elements. First of all, I want to sort out your names, from today onwards, you will only be referred to by your elemental names, Atlantis is Haruto, Aqua is Aurelia, Ira is Pavana, Akash is Aniruddh, Asher is Atsushi and Ember is Agneya, these names are your sole identity now.' Luna explained. Luna stood at the edge of the shimmering pond, her space-like hair catching the sunlight.  Atlantis and Aqua, now Haruto and Aurelia, stood beside her, their eyes wide with anticipation. The air smelled of damp earth and determination.


"Water bending," Luna began, her voice melodic, "is about flow, adaptability, and balance. It's not just about controlling water; it's about becoming one with it."

Haruto shifted his weight, eager to learn. "How do we start?"

Luna smiled. "First, close your eyes. Feel the water around you—the ripples, the currents. Imagine it as an extension of yourself."

Aurelia nodded, her fingers brushing the surface of the pond. "Like an invisible thread connecting me to every droplet."

"Exactly," Luna said. "Now, focus on a single droplet. Picture it rising, defying gravity. Will it to move."

Haruto took a deep breath, visualizing the water rising. He felt a tingle in his fingertips, and suddenly, a small stream lifted from the pond. It wavered, then collapsed.

"Good start," Luna encouraged. "But remember, water responds to emotion. Anger, fear, joy—they all shape your bending."

Aurelia closed her eyes, recalling the rush of a waterfall. She imagined herself as part of it, merging with the cascade. Her hands moved, and a gentle wave formed, dancing across the water's surface.

"Beautiful," Luna said. "Now, let's try something more complex. Atlantis, create a whirlpool."

Haruto frowned, but he focused. He envisioned the water spiraling, pulling leaves and twigs into its center. Slowly, a miniature whirlpool formed.

Aurelia clapped her hands. "Amazing!"

Luna's eyes twinkled. 'And you, Aurelia. Freeze a section of the pond.'

Aurelia hesitated, then concentrated. The water solidified, a delicate ice sculpture taking shape. She grinned, proud of her achievement.

' Remember,' Luna said, 'water bending is about harmony. Balance your emotions, and the water will respond, I'll be over there with Willow and Shizen now.' 

Time passed as if in a second, and the sun dipped below the horizon, Atlantis and Aqua practiced, their laughter echoing across the water. Luna watched, knowing that these young benders would shape the world in ways they couldn't yet imagine. And perhaps, just perhaps, they'd discover secrets hidden within the depths—the kind that could change everything.
