Forbidden Water

Chapter 21

Now what is happening to Larissa? come on  readers,let's see......

Larissa's pov,

When our barge left the blue island "St Franco", I had seen all the signs of negativity, as if the sea was telling me not to leave Leo, not to desert my love towards the uncertainty .But I'm optimistic at heart, I don't believe in signs, and I desire to sharpen my potentials. Everyone wants to be powerful in this cruel world ;so, why not me?

I have already learnt to blow and swish water by mouth, I've practised to make water balls by which enemies will be suffocated. Slowly I will learn to bend the air with water; right now our master is teaching us Sea Stormbreaking skills. It's one of the important skills, by which I'll be capable of breaking the storms; I still remember the very day Leo's dad was trapped in the sea storm and I couldn't help him.

There are other teenagers like me so I don't miss Leo that much as I expected. Learning with same aged people is always fun. But that doesn't mean I don't think of him. I muse him almost everyday whenever I get some me time. I have seen the 'Sky pearl' a million times since I left him. I don't know he watches my white conch or not, blows it or not. 

Amid such boisterous sessions, jovial friends often I feel I should ditch all these and run to Leo. I know such feelings are dangerous but I can't defy it. True to say when I learn something new or accomplish something all those stray feelings go away and I enjoy myself with my 'Original' friends. Here nothing is mysterious or mystic whatever I do,all my friends know everything but to Leo I was really an aqua angel. He got surprised so easily. Somehow I miss those awe-inspiring praises.

'Lari !! let's go; it's time for dancing now', I heard silky voice of Crusoe; he is most frivolous guy of our  troupe, always filled with zeal and zest. Now I have to dance with my waterbender friends; it's our very own way to relax and while away some fun time.

We,almost twenty teenagers started our aquatic crafts with the sea water. Believe it or not ,we swirled our fingers to make  water balls of different sizes and kept them floating on air for long. When the area is almost decked with shimmering water balls, we started dancing together, at first in slow rhythm then in rapid swirling motion. In between dances we swish our hands to keep the balls floating for long.  While dancing Crusoe always comes in front of me even if I'm surrounded by other girls. He is so quick, I can never trace his movements !! now, my eyes suddenly fell on him and I saw he is staring me with dreamy eyes. But, I glanced at him and quickly looked away. I didn't want this eye contract to continue. I'm grateful that other girls couldn't see this see, otherwise they would start poking and pinching me. Everyone was so happy, mirthful ,they  were stimulating and undulating their bodies in nova ways. The dancing under open sky ,surrounded by cute water balls is outstanding experience. The crystal clear water balls enhanced the richness of our enjoyment. So,we danced and danced  until everyone is tired.

There are other things we love to enjoy are snorkelling, surfing and skiing;  Often we swim under the sea to see exotic marine life of fishes, sea creatures, coral reefs; these are also included in our learnings; learning oceanography is must to be a perfect waterbender!!!!

Our sires  are  very affectionate, they  never object on our enjoyment. Actually they are Taoist monks, while we relax they engross themselves in praying. Here, the shrine is ostentatious, we also pray here irrespective of cast,creed or religion.
