Avatar Training(pt.2)

Ghan didn't know what to do next. He thought he was loose enough, so he went with Kozzan's next bit of advice: he thought of a stream being sliced in half by a large stone dead set in the center of it. He pushed, and pulled... pushed, and pulled... pushed, and pulled. He wasn't thinking of the rock on the surface, or even the rock that lay a bit deeper into the crust. He was concentrating of the metal fragments dispersed throughout the Earth, and trying to get them to move in one fluid motion. And then he pushed, and then he concentrated, and then this time he pulled more than just air. He brought up small wave of silver, but then pushed it back down. And then he pulled again, this time with a noticeably larger result. That, too, he pushes back into the Earth. He made up in his mind that this would be the one! He bended his knees and then pulled up with all of his focused energy into the metal he was bending. As he came back up with his wrists flicked and palms outward, a wave of liquid metal (just a few inches taller than Ghan was himself) was born from the ground. He tried too fast to go on to the next step though: he balled up his fists in hopes of hardening the ore, creating a iron pillar. But it only stood erect for a moment before crumbling back into shards all over the ground.

"What'd you think of that, Kozzan?"

Ghan turned to Kozzan, looking for a few helpful hints.

Kozzan's face lit up. "Awesome! Now. Just Remember. Take it slow. Do the same thing, and when you try to harden it, be more loose with the muscles in your arm. That is why it shattered." he said, demonstrating to Ghan how to clench his fist, but let his muscles relax.

Lindsey looked at Kozzan, she couldnt help it. She wanted to hate him but her heart just kept pounding. She still loved him, but it hurt to and a tear ran down her face. "No i hate you!" she said in her mind.
Kar went down to find Lindsey, He wanted to know what was wrong and he wanted to apologize. He found her standing close to a tree and snuck up behind her. He grabbed her waist, lifted her and twirled in a circle. Setting her down he expected a slap but she screamed, " Kar!" and buried her face into his neck squeezing him tightly.

" Oh... im sorry Kar.." She said realeasing, " For how i have been acting and well just to let you know... I still love you." And once again they kissed but this time, she kissed him.

Dakota nodded to Trira. "Yeah I think so." He said then Trira walked out of the tent. He got up and went out to go to his own tent and he saw Trira standing with her eyes closed looking worried. She walked into the woods. Dakota stood there for a minute then followed her into the woods. He looked around for a little bit and saw Trira sitting on a tree. He went to base of the tree and listened to Trira talk to herself. "I think its time we started your waterbending training." He said to her.

Trira was pushed out of her thoughts by the voice of Dakota. She looked down to him. "Yes, it is time.", she said and got down from the tree. "Then we should get to the water I think.", she said to Dakota and showed him to go first.

Dakota nodded and led Trira to the pond he was at before. It was quiet and peaceful here and it would be easy to concentrate. He turned to Trira. "Im sorry if im not a very good teacher. I have never done it before so Im new at it." He had to think for a few seconds about what he was going to say. "Waterbending is about going with the movements of the water. Insted of just forcing the water to move you have to let it flow naturally." Dakota started to push and pull the water in the pond. "Waterbending also uses lots of hand and wrist movements to direct the water." Dakota hoped he was explaining good enough.

Trira followed Dakota. She watched him and nodded while she listened to him. Now she knew that he would be a good teacher. Then she started to copy what Dakota had done. She pushed and pulled the water without troubles. "Is this right?", she asked him with a smile on her face.

Dakota smiled when he saw Trira waterbending. "Thats perfect." He couldnt see anything that Trira was doing wrong. "It looks like you got the hang of that now lets try something else." Dakota brought a stream of water out and moved around a little bit with slow flowing movements and formed it into a small ball of water above his hands. "This is a little tougher because you have to lift the water completely apart from the larger body of water but the concept is the same. You have to let the water move comfortably and not force it to move but guide it."

Trira nodded and then she tried it herself. She thought what she had seen from Dakota and made the same moves. Also Trira brought a stream of water out, but it was much bigger then she had wanted it to be. She looked a little bit angry, but then she also made a ball of water. Or to say it right, it looked like an egg of water. "Damn.", she whispered and tried to change the form again. But it still did not look like a ball.

Dakota was a little impressed when Trira lifted a lot of water at once but he noticed that she was angry and he thought that she might not of ment to do that much. He watched her movements. She was doing the forms right but the water didnt go into a ball but insted an egg shape. "Just relax. You dont need to try so hard. If you stop trying to shape the water it will group its self together into a ball shape." Dakota took a little water out of Trira's egg and held it with one hand and used the other hand to strech and twist it. Every time he streched it it would bring its self together into a ball but it was always off of the perfect shape. "Besides, the point wasnt to see if you could make a perfect ball. I wanted to see if you could just lift the water."
