Training the Avatar

"Perhaps" said Kouzai 'Perhaps Skye was the one that prayed for me.....but that was then' he thought 'People change'

"But I think we will never really find out, so it will not help if we think about it.", Trira said to Kouzai.

"You're right...now, you're training is complete, you have become a master fire bender in such a short amount of time....do not neglect your training and remember, you must stay perfectly still and must not move to take in nature chi" said Kouzai.

Trira stared at Kouzai. She could not believe what he had just said. He had to have made an mistake. She could not have finished the training by now. There were so many techniques she had not leared by now. "Sorry if I ask, but how can I have finished by now? I can do nearly no technique, how can that be finished?", she asked.

"Techniques aren't something you can learn, you are the avatar you are strong enough...you know the Nova Blast, you know how to take in Nature Chi and you can make fire, from there you must teach yourself....create your own techniques....I don't look at bending as somethign that can be passed down, people's bending is an expression of themselves it's an extension of them and who they are...you must personalize your bending...fuel it with passion and never forget your teachings" said Kouzai "You were an exceptional student...and you will make a fine Avatar-no, you HAVE become a fine Avatar....the world is safe in your hands"

Trira was fascinated by what she was told from Kouzai. Her whole life she had only learned techniques, but she was never forced to make up her own. She even had no idea how she could make it. But it all seemed very logical to her.
As Kouzai finished Trira had to hold back her tears. She bowed and said to the firelord:"I am honoured by the trust you give me. I hope you are right." Then she looked up again.

"I've never been wrong" said Kouzai, he turned around and bowed to Trira "Much luck to you, young Avatar"

"Also much luck to you, Firelord Kouzai. I am sure you will need it.", she said to him.
