"That's good. I haven't met Avatar Roku or seen him Firebend but as of what my father has told me he doesn't support the war. I don't blame him, he's the Avatar after all and it's his job to keep peace. Fire Lord Sozen however....if this keeps up I'm worried about those poorer individulas of the Fire Nation."

After Nokoro waited for Riko to relinquish his curiosity, she said, That's good. I haven't met Avatar Roku or seen him Firebend but as of what my father has told me he doesn't support the war. I don't blame him, he's the Avatar after all and it's his job to keep peace. Fire Lord Sozin however.... if this keeps up I'm worried about those poorer individuals of the Fire Nation.
Wait, what will happen to the poorer individuals of the Fire Nation if Fire Lord Sozin continues the war? Also, why doesn't Avatar Roku just stop Fire Lord Sozin if he disapproves of the war?, Nokoro asked as he became confused about the Fire Nation's actions.

Lan Shen made quick, small claps as Maiku finished. As soon as he asked what they thought of it, she made a big smile. She tried to regain her composure, but was horribly failing.
"That was incredible! Could you teach me how to do that Maiku?" Lan Shen asked.

"Thank you, but it wasn't that great." Maiku said.
"Of course I can teach you." He added.
"First, you spread your legs apart like this. Then, you bend your knees a little. Next, you breath in as you move your arms downward. Then to top it off you breath out as you send your arms up, creating the wall." Maiku said as he showed her each step.

"If the war continues the poorer individuals will be forced out of their homes. You have no idea how high the taxes are! They'll get higher still and then the Fire Nation itself will be chaos. I can practically see the revolts and possibly massacres in my mind's eye. I don't know what's keeping the Avatar from stopping this but there has been a rumor going on that the Fire Sages are plotting against him."

I don't know what's keeping the Avatar from stopping this but there has been a rumor going on that the Fire Sages are plotting against him., Riko said as Nokoro became stupefied by amazement.
Wow Riko! I didn't know your nation was so corrupt and dangerous for its own citizens! Hopefully, Avatar Roku will be able to fix this problem, or the entire world will be in chaos, and it won't matter if the Fire Nation wins the war or not! As for the Fire Sages, I thought they were supposed to be loyal to the Avatar and no one else! Why would they betray the person they're supposed to follow?, Nokoro asked nervously as sweat began to flood out of the overflowing pores on his skin.

Riko stared at him witha grim expression etched on her face. "The Fire Lord can be very convincing and even Fire Sages make mistakes sometimes. For their own desire or otherwise Avatar Roku is going to need all the help he can get if he wants to stop this. Afterall, the Fire Sages are supposedly second only to the Avatar in mastery of Firebending."
Nokoro was shocked, she could tell that much but she let it slide and continued as she played with a strand of her hair.
"I just hope the nations will band together as one or this may turn out to be a hundred year war. My nation is dangerous yes...but it's not the only one capable of being corrupt. I wonder, how is your relationship with the Earth Kingdom? Surely, their king has problems of his own."
Riko didn't know how long Nokoro had been there but it must've been very long because the sun seemed to be setting. She could feel it, afterall she was a Firebender and the sun was a Firebender's greatest source of power. Riko glanced at him again waiting for an answer and without thinking of much she lit another fire in the palm of her hand.

So much for maintaining my composure...
Lan Shen listened to Maiku intently as he taught her the move. She spread her legs apart into a stance, ready to try it out. Lan Shen breathed in as she moved her arms downward, just as Maiku said. As she did all of these steps, she concentrated very hard, knowing that it was her weakness. Breathe out... Lan Shen sent her arms up, and through Maiku's instruction and her own concentration, she produced a firewall.

Maiku stood there in amazement. She had done in a few minutes what took him several weeks. AS he stood in awe, he saw something in the distance. Then he realized what it was.
Quick, get rid of the fire, Maiku yelled. "There are Water Tribe ships up ahead."

Lan Shen grinned ear to ear as she saw the fire before her. Yes! I did it! It feels so good to accomplish something once in a while.
She soon heard Maiku yelling to get rid of the fire. She stopped firebending in a heartbeat, and noticed the Water Tribe ships in the far distance.
"We're finally here..." Lan Shen said to herself. Even though chaos was about to unleash itself, she turned to Maiku smiling, and said, "Thank you."

But I thought that the Fire Lord was the strongest Firebender in the Fire Nation, besides the Avatar. Aren't the Fire Sages weaker in Firebending than the Fire Lord since the Fire Lord is the head of the Fire Sages? Also, at least Avatar Roku is alive, or the Fire Lord would have nothing to stop him! I've heard rumors that Roku died, but I guess they aren't true. Are you sure that Avatar Roku is still alive? I agree with you that the nations should, and hopefully will, combine together as one. And yes, I've heard that there is a problem with the Earth King. Can you tell me what it is because I haven't heard what the specific problem is?, Nokoro asked as he turned a little pale from pensively pondering how the entire world was starting to fall apart, like an unbalanced house of cards.

Aoi applauded her friends. "That was great guys!" But as soon as she did, she spotted the Water Tribe ships. Well, here goes nothing... Closing her haiku book, she made a quick prayer to the Spirits for safety.

"Good." Riyan said under his breath. He considered sending a large fairball into the sky, and announce his presance then and there, but then thought against it. He would rather corner them later.
"At least I can finnly streach my legs." he thought to himself.
Ducking back into the hatch, he made his way to the cargo hold once again. Gathering his belongings, he tied his pack up, set it on his shoulder, and was off. Back at the top deck, he watched the boats come even closer.

As the Northern Water Tribe ships approached, Maiku muttered under his breath, "Let me do the talking."
"What are you doing up North our brother and sisters?" A man from one of the boats said.
"We were coming up to get needed supplies for our tribe." Maiku said in replied.
"Very well, we will escort you to port." The man said.
"Thank you my brother." Maiku said.
Then the ships led Maiku, Lan Shen, and Aoi through the parted ice walls.
"I can't believe we're finally here." Maiku said with awe.

While Nokoro waited for Riko to answer, he worried about how everything would turn out to be, even if the Fire Lord was stopped and the war ended. He also had a convincing voice in the back of his mind that kept telling him that Avatar Roku was dead and he couldn't ignore it, no matter how hard he tried. He felt the temperature get colder and looked out the window. He noticed that the sun was setting and nightfall had begun its cycle. He remembered that Chief Konaro is going to say his speech at the front of the temple, to warn all the citizens of the ominous closeness of the Fire Nation's attack on the Northern Water Tribe. He thought of the sly, treacherous plan the Fire Nation was planning or had already started. He knew that if it was as good as or better than Riko's stealthy plan, then there would be a high probability that it would actually work. Nokoro felt the Fire Nation getting closer and closer. He felt the increasing magnitude of them arriving. After all, they were opposites: water and fire, and opposites attract. Opposing forces keep pulling each other with equal force, until sooner or later, they collide. Then, and only then, the war will begin.
