I walk up to watch Zuko and Aang training.

"I know that you are nervous, but fire bending in itself is nothing to fear." Says Zuko to Aang

"Okay something not to fear.." Aang says to himself

"But if you don't respect it, it will chew you up and spit you out like an angry komodo rhino." Says Zuko

"Agh!" Says Aang

"Okay. Show me what you've got. Any amount of fire you can make." Says Zuko

Aang takes a deep breath and tries to firebend, but then a small puff of smoke comes out of his hand.

"Maybe a demonstration would be better." Says Aang

"Good idea.. You may wanna take a few steps back." Says Zuko

He inhales deeply and let's out a small fire flame.

Aang claps

I look at Zuko.

"What was that!? That was the worst fire bending I've ever seen." Zuko says

"I thought it was nice." Says Aang

Zuko tries a few times in different ways with the same result.

"Why is this happening?" Says Zuko frustrated

"Maybe it's the altitude." Says Aang

"Maybe.." says Zuko

-------------

At a lower zone Zuko tries again with similar results.

"That one kind of felt hot." Says Aang

"Don't patronize me! You know what it's supposed to look like." He says

"Sorry Sifu Hotman." Says Aang

I snicker

"And stop calling me that!" He says irritated

"Hey jerks.. mind if I watch you two jerk bending?" Says Sokka

"Get out of here!" Yells Zuko

"Okay. Take it easy I was just kidding." He says walking off

"Amara come here please." Says Zuko

"Please? Who are you and what have you done with Zuko?" I say jokingly standing up

"Please just firebend." He says

"Okay." I say

I shoot a large flame from my Left hand.

"I still shouldn't bend from my right arm." I say

"Aang go on ahead and catch lunch. We'll be right with you." I say seeing Aang concerned and Zuko sad

"Okay." He says heading off

"Amara, what's wrong with me?" He asks

"There's nothing wrong with you." I say hugging him

"You're trying to fuel your bending the way you used to. I had that issue for a little bit too." I say

"What did you do?" He asks

"It started when I was starting to think that I might be on the wrong side. Shortly after I started having doubts, I went to see your uncle. And he helped me find a new source of power and strength." I say to him

"The problem is though, that my uncle is no longer where he was, and I have no clue on how I'm supposed to find him." Zuko says

"You will find a way. I know you will. You are one of the strongest people I have ever met. And you are good." I say
