Nokoro felt extreme waves of heat being exerted on his body. He opened his eyes and saw that he was on top of a volcano! He kept his balance so he wouldn't fall. On the other side of the colossal volcano was Riko! She seemed angry.
Take this you peasant!, she screamed as she firebended a ton of magma and directed it toward him. Nokoro was so surprised, he could barely move! He tried to waterbend the water in his water skin, but it wasn't working!
No!!!, Nokoro screamed as he woke up from his nightmare. His heart was beating as fast as the stepping sounds of a massive stampede.
Han barged into the room and asked, What happened!? Han is one of the waterbending warrior trainees in the training camp. He is Nokoro's best friend at the camp. They're waterbending skills are around the same level, thus they have the same ranks and positions in the camp. Han has deep, ocean blue eyes that twinkle with purity when he tells the truth. His hair is dark brown and on the brink of being black. It's also very long, so he ties it up in a warrior's wolftail, so that it doesn't prevent him from training efficiently. Nokoro and Han usually practice waterbending with each other to have a good time.
Whoa! I guess I just had a bad dream., Nokoro replied with a calm sigh of realization. He tried to make his heartbeat slow down back to a normal frequency. There was a prolonged silence as Nokoro pondered about the meaning of his dream.
Why was I on top of a volcano? Why did Riko attack me? Maybe it was just a random dream. Or was it a foreshadow of future events?, Nokoro thought as hundreds of questions kept popping into his head. It seemed like he was in a different world because of his state of deep thought.
After waiting for Nokoro to pull himself back together, Han finally asked, So, are you coming or not? Nokoro shook his head as he came back to the real world and heard Han's question.
Ya! I'll be right there![/b], Nokoro said with a hint of sleepiness in his shimmering eyes. While Han was waiting for him, Nokoro got out of his bed, waterbended a fairly large amount of ice from the walls of his room into water, heated it to a comfortably warm temperature, covered it over his body, and excreted all the dirty water from his body.
Clean and ready to go![/b], Nokoro yelled with excited energy, as a grin of enthusiasm appeared on his radiantly spotless face. Then, they ran toward the training area with ambitiously optimistic expressions.

It was starting to get dark; the sun had already dipped halfway down the horizon. Torches had been lit along the main paths. Huime walked down the stone road, back to the complex. She didn't want to return to the fortress, but people would worry if she didn't return, and the last thing she wanted at the moment was a big scene.
Boats were still coming into the harbor and unloading. Huime glanced briefly at the disembarking passengers. One, a broad, dark Fire Nation man, leered at her from his place on the docks. She caught and held his gaze and glared at him haughtily, then turned and spedwalked into the fortress.
She could still feel his eyes on her as she walked through the giant steel doors. She scowled and stomped down the hallway, realizing too late that she didn't know where her room was.
With a frustrated sigh, Huime picked a hallway to go down. Walking was better than sitting and waiting.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while... But BC hasn't said I'm out yet, so I'm posting as to stay in. I love my character.
Takeo woke up the next morning jittering with energy. He slowly exercised by way of Tai Chi, then went into the kitchen to get himself some cereal. "So," Masami said, from the darkness of a corner. Takeo jumped. "Will they take females? You never told me, you doof." Takeo sighed and looked at her. "No, no they don't," he said softly. Masami's eyebrows connected in a furious 'v' in the middle of her forehead.
"No. I've been training for too long not to go. I'm going with you," she snarled, more to herself then to him. "If you get caught, your dad'll-" "I KNOW the risks, Takeo! Don't you think I've planned every second of this if they didn't allow me to? I NEED to fight for the Fire Nation! I can feel it!" she shouted. "Okay, okay, just shut up. We'd better leave now so your dad won't notice," he gave in.
The two walked down the path to Shokai, both practicing the powerful, abrupt moves of firebending in close combat. Masami's nerves were acting up- she had a plan. She'd hop in the back of the cart that always took the recruits to the training camp at the last second, so no one would see. It was flawless! Perfect! Then she'd conceal herself in a barrel, and voila: hidden Masami. She had worn her father's old armor so as not to look suspicious. Takeo led Masami into the first courtyard, then left her there to go into the next.
Zinan was waiting there. "Ah, Maeda. I see you have decided to retain some sense of honor- get into the cart. Now," he snapped. Takeo immediately took it that Zinan was not much of a morning person. He clambered up onto the cart and sat on one of the wooden benches.
Fifteen minutes later, the cart was being led through the first courtyard. "Is everyone here?" Takeo said loudly- the signal for Masami to hop onto the back. She did so deftly- just as the cart was over a bump. He looked back slightly and saw a barrel wobbling, then the lid was pulled over it by a phantom pair of hands.
They rode for the whole day until sundown, then through until the morning, uncomfortable and itching. When they finally reached the camp, the whole cart went under inspection. Takeo's hands had spasms of nerves. Masami had not outlined this bit in her plan. Suddenly, one of the barrels was cracked open, and the inspecting soldiers let out a cry. Masami's hair had come undone, revealing her gender. "A female!" one of them cried in anger. "Are you from a noble family?" Masami desperately tried to lie, but the two soldiers saw right through her stammering.
"Take her back to Shokai- and don't let her return," the guard growled. "Yes, sir," said the cart driver, and immediately bound her hands, tossing her into the cart like so many sacks of potatoes. She cried out in alarm as it trundled away. Takeo looked helplessly as the best friend he'd ever had was taken back to all he'd ever known. Then they entered the camp.
The ground was muddy and soggy, from the sudden rainfall there had been earlier that day. Takeo continued to walk through the camp, looking at the muddy, weary-looking soldiers. They all stared with envy at the newcoming expert firebenders, who were perfectly dry because of their staying under the cart's hood. He saw quite a few with burns. Takeo wondered what'd happened to them- had they picked a fight with someone?
Then he saw a female figure down a side road between two buildings kneeling next to a male, who was motionless on the ground. Quickly he walked down the side road towards them. "Hey, are you alright?" he said to the lady, who looked graceful and poised, with an archer's frame. He noticed from a small tag dangling from the front of her shirt that she was a member of the Blue Dragon archer division, whatever that was. Her beautiful kimono looked handcrafted with care, but it was muddy from her kneeling by the boy. The characters on the side of his armor read "Maiku". The lady looked up from the boy, looking shocked and terrified by the state of "Maiku". Takeo took a note out of his pocket to see where he would be sleeping, with the rest of the advanced firebenders. Once he was sure he knew, he pocketed the note again and took no further notice of his fellow benders' absense from the situation.
Takeo leaned closer to Maiku. He felt a slight heat emanating from him- he was a firebender, and that was probably where all the burns around the camp had come from. It looked like he had been beaten senseless. The lady finally responded.
((I hope I didn't interrupt too quickly- I'd been planning to meet you guys for a while, but I wasn't sure if I needed to PM you or anything. Hopefully by my description you can tell that "the lady" is Aoi... lol.))

A new day had dawned and Riko was getting ready for the new day. Preparations for tonight were to be done, she would find out what the Northern Water Tribe was planning tonight.
“Of course, I still need breakfast.”
After taking a hot bath Riko quickly put on her red kimono and rushed out the door with fire flakes in hand. Riko had already stayed here for a week and realized how much time she was wasting. Thoughts of Nokoro flashed in her mind and she frowned.
“Sadly, I’ll have to betray you. Maybe if this were another time we could’ve been friends.” Riko shook her head in annoyance and continued on her search for materials. She took out a piece of paper and read to herself
1.Quality rope 2.Fish Oil 3.Pins 4.A small satchel
Riko pocketed the note and headed to the market.

Tengu smiled deviously at Huime as she sauntered past to the Great Hall, where deliagations would begin. Waya rolled his eyes as the he and his horny older brother lead the nobled into the hall for the treaties.
As the nobles gathered in the halls some went to their rooms, Tengu saw Huime walk away from the crowd and to the oppisit direction. Now this was his chance.
"Hello miss? Are you lost?" the soldier turned on his charm as he walked over to the noble woman and took off his helmet. "The name is Tengu Hei'Maow"

After what seemed like an hour, Maiku heard a voice asking him if he was alright. He opened his eyes to see who it was. It was Aoi.
"I should be alright if I get some medical attention." Maiku said. Oh and by the way It's nice to see that there is still some one who isn't out to kill me."
He tried to smile, but then everything went black.

She was about to laugh and force a smile, but instead, she watched as his eyelids fluttered over his irises and his head lolled back into the damp bed of the grass. "Maiku?" she inquired, lifting his head up. "Oh, no...Maiku?" she questioned again, shaking him gently. Standing up, she hurried into the nearest tent. "Is there a doctore here?" she questioned, brushing a strand of jet black hair from her cobalt eyes. A man raised his hand a bit, stuttering, "Oh, um, I-I am..." "Okay, good. O-one of the soldiers, h-he just blacked out!" she informed the man, and as if on que, he followed her as she rushed back to Maiku. "I-I'm not sure what happened, but I think he got beat up." Immediately, the doctor, raven black hair tied back and thin brows furrowed above golden eyes, studied Maiku. "We should get him on a bed..." he said softly. "Here, help me lift him up. I'll get the feet and you get the shoulders." Aoi nodded and obeyed, gingerly lifting his head and grabbing him by the shoulders while she and the doctor elevated his body. They slipped back into the tent, with Maiku still in their arms, and set him on a cot.

"Ok girls, time to learn the crane technique," said Sifu. All of the young women talked amongst themselves happily, for they were earnest in learning an advanced move. Lan Shen was one of the disciples, and was earnest too.
"Take a back stance everyone..." ordered Sifu. All of the uniformed girls were at least 10 ft apart, so their firebending wouldn't harm anyone. All of the disciples did as they were instructed.
"Take a deep breath, and on your release, raise you stretched leg in the air. Good, now raise your arms above you head like so," she demonstrated. "Now, bend your hands, so they're jotting out. Finally, with all of your breath, bring you hands down, and fire!" The Sifu showed the entire technique to her students. Lan Shen watched with awe, carefully scrutinizing every move her Sifu made. Once her Sifu shot the fire from her palms, the girls sighed in amazement.
"First row!" she ordered. The students were lined up in rows, and each row went in turns. "Very good..." the Sifu commented. "Ok girls, get to the back of the room. Second row!" Everyone did the technique perfectly, with a little mistake every now and then. Now it came to the fourth row, Lan Shen's row.
"Fourth row!" said the Sifu. Lan Shen concentrated her entire being into this technique. She needed to impress her Sifu. Lan Shen took a very deep breath, and did everything her Sifu told her to. Breathing out, she shot a huge fireball. Unfortunately, the fireball went too fast, and almost singed her Sifu.
Skillfully, the Sifu dodged the fireball quite easily. She gave out a mellow laugh, much contrast to the gasps in the room. "Sifu! Please forgive me, I'm so sorry!" Lan Shen said in a panic.
"Don't worry about it. Be sure to not breathe so deep next time, this is practice. Not war."

"Master Poe what are you doing here?" Maiku asked. "You must wake up Maiku." Poe said. "Why," Maiku asked. "Wake up." Poe said.
Then Maku awoke from his sleep. "Where am I?" Maiku asked. He looked around and saw all medical equippment. "I must be in the medical tent." He said to himself.
He saw Aoi was sleeping on a chair. "Aoi." He called trying to wake her up.
