Legend of Ikari; Book one Fire

"This has to be a mistake, you were so sure!" he stands suddenly and his wife places her hand on his arm.

"Zoa, the children." She whispers to him and he sits back down with a sigh, he laces his fingers together and presses the heel of his hands on his forehead, the baby in his wife's arms fusses a little as she readjusts him.

"Secondly, Ikari is eight years old and hasn't begun to firebend. You know as well as both of us that children don't usually start bending at such a late age." The couple exchange glances before the husband speaks again.

"This must be some sort of mistake, if you could give her a little more time I'm sure she'll start bending soon enough.
