Only you- Rangi & Kyoshi

Chapter 51

After their trip up the earth kingdom coast, they had returned to the fire nation. Kyoshi needed to speak with Jinpa on other affairs. So they set off across the world once more.

Spending some time in the southern water tribe over the winter solstice, then back to the northern air temples around new years. Time just seemed to begin to slip by.

Kyoshi had tried to focus on her weaker elements as they traveled. Working on having control on even the smallest droplets of water, and the angles that she could expel air at.

With the absence of uprising tyrants years had passed since their anniversary when Kyoshi finally got another distress note from that same earth kingdom village.

Kyoshi had always wondered what would happen with that town that had claimed distress from the balanced nation but had nothing to show for it.

"It's a bit of a nostalgic trip don't you think?" Rangi asked as the town once again came into view.

"You think there is actually something wrong this time?" Kyoshi replied with another question.

Rangi shrugged as they walked through the gates.

"Who sent the note Jinpa?" Kyoshi asked as they wandered into the town.

"The governor I believe," He replied from behind.

"We'll look for him first then," Kyoshi decided.

But as they explored more there was writing on all the walls and people in odder looking uniforms stationed near the writing reading "chin the conqueror".

Kyoshi rolled her eyes at the writing. Here we go again

Without another word she marched up to the men painting the wall and intervened. "So, who's the new tyrant in town? Are you guys doing some work off of the balanced nation or something?" Kyoshi called.

"The balanced nation" he scoffed. "We are with the greater power, Chin the Conqueror"

"Chin the Conqueror?" She questioned. "Never heard of him."

The men looked offended at her words. "Chin, the earth kingdom's real ruler." He retorted.

She gave him an unimpressed look, but these goons were likely the reason for the distress note if they were claiming there was another ruler.

"Where is he?"

But her question went unanswered. "Your new tyrant, where is he?"

One of the men started to grin. "Like we'd tell you"

She stepped up to the man grabbing the front of his shirt so that he was barely able to stand on his toes. "tell me where is-"

She couldn't finish her threat properly, as the man pulled a small bit of earth up and flung it at Kyoshi's face. As she felt the earth crumble and blood began to drip from her nose she repeated her question, keeping the man in her grasp.

"Where is he? Or are you too much of a grunt not to even know" She rephrased.

Out of the corner of her eye she watched as the other man tried to slip away, turning only to run into Rangi who sent him falling backwards into the dirt.

"Just answer her questions"

They got the most information out of the two men that they could. One thing Kyoshi had decided on at that moment was however that she wanted to speak to Chin himself. She would not bother herself with his little hench men.

"So you really don't know where he is?" Kyoshi asked once more.

But he shook his head vigorously. "I swear, maybe somewhere more up north. But he heard that you were coming and-"
