The Dragon and the Avatar

Chapter 8: Light and Darkness

For the next month Igneel trained me on what it means to be a real Dragon Slayer from breathing fire to harnessing my flames into my attacks by fusing it together instead of shooting it out like traditional firebending, he also helped me tap into a transformation that allows me to use lighting with my fire but it has a time limit since the lighting could actually still kill me. He even taught me his strongest move called the KaMeHaMeHa which allows me to dangerously condense my flames and shoot them out at a deadly speed and power but that attack also drains me completely so it should only be used as a last resort. This week is the final training week according to Igneel, he said he has something special planned at the end to finalize my training and I'll be a fully renown Dragon Slayer. Since it's been hell the last few weeks Igneel has given Olivia and I time off for us to do whatever we like. I asked Olivia if she would come to the Fire Nation Capital for some fun. Now we're on a boat doing just that.

Olivia: "So what would you like to do first once we get there?"

Me: "I was thinking we could just spend some time in the city maybe do some shopping first, then I would like to head to the palace I need to talk to a few people there." she nodded and looked to the horizon. I must say it's been really nice having her around since she's the last of my family I have left. I told her about my adventures with Korra and the others. She told me about her training with the water dragon that taught her but won't tell me about where that dragon is now. I shake it off thinking it's just nothing and that she'll tell me one day. Aside from sparring we also practice fighting with each other combining our different techniques she uses her waterbending more as support since she focuses more on ranged attacks while I prefer to fight up close with my fire. I also tend to find myself thinking about Korra and the others I've thought about writing to them but then I remember this island is supposed to be secret and that I wouldn't be able to receive any, I also don't know where they are right now the Festival should've ended the week I got here so I would guess that Korra would be with Tenzin at one of the Air Temples. I hope I can go back to them soon I miss them a lot I also want to introduce them to Olivia I think they would really like her. Once we arrived at the capitol Olivia and I decided to do seperate shopping then meet at the palace in a few hours. I found myself wandering the streets checking out all the shops. To be honest I wanted to seperate from
Olivia so I could pick out my gift for Korra I wanted it to be special since she's always been there for me ever since my father died so I wanted to make it special and I didn't want Olivia teasing me the whole time. The only problem was I didn't know what to get her she isn't the easiest girl to shop for because she doesn't like super girly and It's not like I can just get her guy things that's just weird. I was lost in thought when I accidently stumbled into someone. "I'm sorry sir I was lost in thought and obviously wasn't watching where I was going are you alright?"

Shopkeeper: "Oh it's quite alright young man may I ask what you where thinkin about." I rubbed the back of my head.

Me: "Yea you see my friend and I made these little promises before she went to the South Pole for the Glacier Spirit and I came here to the Fire Nation that we would get each other gifts from where we visit but I don't know what to get her." He smiled slyly at me and whistled.

Shopkeeper: "Oh so it's a girl eh." I blushed a little and waved my hands in my face.

Me: "No, no you've got it all wrong she's just my friend." He eyed me suspiciously before patting my back.

Shopkeeper: "Ah I was just messing with you but since it is the girl I have just the thing for you, wait here." He left to go inside as I saw him shuffle through some things until he came back out with a small box. "Here I think she'll love this." He opened the box and there lay one of the most beautiful necklaces I've seen. It was a blue moon with part of it looking like a crescent while the rest is filled in and a partially overlapping a yellow sun and it was all attached to a bright silver chain as if it was freshly polished. I looked back at the shopkeeper.
