Shan stepped outside, wiping the sweat from her brow. It had become broiling hot inside the kitchen of the lone resturant in town. There was alot of commotion that she saw.
"What's going on?" she hollered to a elderly man, hobbling past her.
"Somebody attacked Terith," he wheezed. "They're saying he's dead...I don't know."
"Any ships come to dock today?"
"Feh, not that I know of, missy." The old man gave a cough and went on his way. Shan wiped her hands on her apron and fondled the pendant of her necklace.

Zaka finally caught up to the waterbender.
"Hello I'm Zaka. Can you tell me where I am?" he said short of breath.

Horyo walked up to a resteraunt, his stomach was silently growling. Maybe its best...if I ate something... He thought to himself.
He came in and noticed a young woman, with a Water Tribe necklace. But thought no more of it as a pudgy man invited him in for some food.
"Ah, a customer! Come this way fine sir! And you'll taste the food ot the best resteraunt of this dinky island!" He said with warmth and laughter.
"Best resteraunt? This is the only resteraunt you numb-skull..." He shot back in bitter anger. Horyo went to sit down by a door, and looked outside. The moon was out, full, birght, and luminous. He gazed as a fat man came to pour some tea for him, he looked at the simmering water, boiling with rage, steaming with excitement, then he slowly chilled the water with his breath. It was not steaming anymore, but not freezing, it was just right.
"Some shrimps please, and a pot of Dried sea prunes." He damanded.
"Yes sir coming right up...hehe." The fat man said nervously, as we rushed back inside to fetch Horyo some food. Then he saw several fire-Nation guards walk by, carrying a casket. Heh, serves you right....Fire Nation scum. Horyo thought with sheer hatred, but instead of continuing on their way one of them suggested to go inside and grab a bite. He was tired and did not want to fight, so he pulled over his hood, and huddled away from the enterance, as the guards burst in loudly, dropping the casket outside. They came yelling and yipping, one of them knocked over an old man outside, he was screaming furiously in pain. At that instant, Horyo walked out and helped the Old man inside with him. This man was familiar, but Horyo had never met him, or if he did it must have been at a younger age.
"Please tell me, waht is your name?" He asked in his old withering voice.
"It is Horyo, Kouun Horyo." He said quickly, as he offered the man some tea.
At one moment the man looked shocked to hear those words but he just said "Thank you...Thank you Horyo sir." This man did not seem well, he was ill, from age? From lack of rest? Who knows but all he knew was that this man needed help.
"Now tell me sir, what is your name?" Horyo asked sharpy.
The man hesitated, but then he answered"It is...Hieke..." He choked out.

"Order of shrimp and dried sea prunes, Shan!" the fat man called to Shan, who was now stirring pot stickers into a pot of chicken stock.
"Yes, Chen," Shan called back, "but we're running low of the sea prunes!"
"If you want to tell the man who order them that," Chen replied, "be my guest."
"Now how bad can he be?" Shan asked, growing irritated as she ladled the pot stickers into a bowl and passed it off to a young lady.
"He just...gives me a bad feeling, Shan."
Shan sighed as she poured the grey shrimp into a pot of boiling water. The shrimp immediately turned pink.

"Master...Hieke?!" Horyo jumped up with shock. Some fire Nation Guards turned around.
"But...how?! Why are you so ill? What has happened?!" Horyo demanded quickly. Hieke sighed and answered, "I'm getting old, and weak, that is all..." Horyo looked incredoulous, and exclaimed, "why are you on Boro Boro Island?" He jumped up and now this caught the fire Nation guards' attention. Hieke sighed again and said, "I was captured by fire nation troops, and brought here to slave under a man named "Terith" I was beaten everyday and night and the tendons in my arms were cut off so I could not use water bending...I was beaten everyday and night, without a shirt, his men whipped me, clubbed my back, and I could feel the frosty cold night, even though my back was numb. I then tried to run to a ship one day, and he caught me, this time I was burned." He finished showing Horyo his burnt black back.
"Those dogs will pay..." Horyo said with disgust. "Now, now Horyo, remeber what I taugh you about peace and balance. You must not fight in hate and cloud your mind like stagnant water, but fight in true passion, with a clear mind, like running water. But I heard that Terith is dead on one of my daily runs, so I do not know for sure..." But as soon as he looked up the Fire Nation guards surrounded them, five, ten, twenty guards armed with weapons! Horyo took his tea cup and tosssed it up towards the ceiling as the fight was commencing.

Shan's eyes widened as she watched from the kitchen door, pulling the curtain aside slightly. Chen, she could hear, was muttering nervously behind her.
"Oh, dear, oh, dear," Chen kept repeating.
"Those idiots," Shan said. Chen stopped muttering for a moment and looked.
"IT'S HIM!" He yelped.
"Him who?" Shan asked, confused.
"Uh, the guy who ordered the shrimp and sea prunes," Chen replied quickly. "I should have know he was trouble."
Shan looked at the man with white hair. He didn't too old, compared to the other one beside. She then smiled and hurried from the curtain to the pot of shrimp, picking up her gloves and started to put them on.
"Shan?"
Shan poured the water and shrimp into a big bowl and, with it in her gloved hands, made her way past the kitchen.
"SHAN!"

Horyo jumped out of his seat and flipped backwards, out of the surrounding Fire Soliders, after the tea was thrown up. The old man did the same. Then Kieke grabbed a several forks and darted them towards the Fire Soldiers, two soldiers cried out in pain. Horyo pulled hot water from the teac pots around him, and started to shoot them at the soldiers, burning their faces, Kieke took this time and started to beat upon the distracted soldiers. But one snuck up behind him and hit him with a small knife, he screamed out, as blood was dripping out his back. Horyo noticed waht had just taken place, and deep inside him, a great fiery blast rushed throughout his body, anger swept his face, and murder left his lips. He conjured up the water around him, and sent it shooting at the soldier, hitting him in place, and as he killed the soldier, two more appeared behind him and grabbed him, when someone came out of the kitchen.

Zaka asked once again
"Where am I? and Who are you?" he said in a frustrated manner.
"Hello!" he said
"That's it!" he yelled.
Zaka striked the waterbender. The waterbender fell to the ground and shattered.
"What! Was that a statue- oh it was. heh heh." Zaka said nervously.
Then he ran as fast as possible.

Shan looked around at the scene. One man, a Fire Nation soldier, was lying dead on the floor with others, groaning in pain and grasping their scalded-red faces. The old man that the Waterbender was with was bleeding from his back and the Waterbender himself, though restrained by two soldiers, had an expression that would frighten a demon.
"Did somebody order the shrimp?" she asked clearly, hiding the queasiness she felt as she walked into the room. "We're out of sea prunes-"
She suddenly feigned a trip, the steaming water and shrimp flew out towards the Waterbender and his restrainers.

Sosei looked at Omni. "It's not much trouble, we need more waterbenders to take on the fire nation and since ships rarely come to such a small island we need something to do while we wait for one. Training you shouldn't prove too dificult." Sosei's stomach then growled, "maybe we should get some dinner he suggested to Omni. They then went toward the only restaurant in town to find a group of fire navy soldiers surrounding an old man, who was bleeding on the floor, and Horyo. Great he's gotten himself into another fight. thought Sosei. He was about to enter the brawl when a young women walked into his range of vision and sent some purnes and hot water toward Horyo.

"Thanks." Omni smiled at Sosei. "Yeah dinner sounds really good." She followed Sosei inside and saw more Fire Nation soldiers. Then she noticed Horyo, being held back by two soldiers. She sighed quietly when she saw several soldiers laying on the floor. Then a young women came out of the kitchen, tripped, and sent hot water and shrimp towards Horyo's restrainers.

Horyo ducked and allowed the boiling water to hit their faces. He grinned at the young woman. Then rushed to his Master.
"Horyo...I can feel like slowly slipping away...It was heaven's bless that I got to see you again...but I need to tell you important matters..." His voice was fading. "You know that the Fire Nation wants to attack and destroy us... but it won't be easy and fast like Southern Water Tribe raids..oh no, its a full scale invasion wiht General Zhao's whole navy!" He saw Horyo's face, it was grim, pale white like the moon itself. "The spirits have given me a vision, a princess gone, a General dead, the balance will be disrupted into a twilight of doom. But, when the light of the ocean shines, and the moon returns you must bow, bow to the ocean, your greatest resource and power...now go to the Cave at sunrise tommorow, if you make it out with what I left you...you deserve it...I believe in you Horyo...uhg." And then he was dead.
Horyo understood, he dropped the man's body, and drained him of the blood spills. Then he carried the man off into the woods, towards the ocean ignoring everyone, he had lost a master, he had lost a father. Kieke...I will fight for you my master...I will avenge your death... He thought bitterly. Then he dropped the body into the sea, as an offering to the Ocean spirit, and a song for the Moon Spirit, the waves gently carressed the body, carrying it into the dark night, guided by the Moon...Tis then Horyo shed his tears.

The fighting had subsided once the Waterbender had left, carrying the old upon his back. The remaining soldiers had left the resturant and the stewards had become busy with repairing and cleaning. Shan herself was picking up the pieces of shrimp that she had flung.
"He's the first Waterbender I've seen on this island since I came her," she thought to herself. "He's probably not a local."
She then grinned to herself.
"Then he must have come here by boat!"
Shan stood straight up, cupping the shrimp in her hands, and ran towards the kitchen, passing Chen. The fat man looked bewildered.
"Shan?" he asked as she dumped the shrimp into a rubbish bin.
"I'll be back!" Shan hollered as she ran out the door.

The next day.
Horyo woke up early, he grabbed a sack and went straight towards the beach. There was a huge sand bridge that led to the cave near there, Gotta move fast...almost High Tide He thought to himself as he rusehd across the Sand Bridge. His shoe caught a hole and he fell on the sand, he looked down into the water, not able to see anything, dark and dingy. Strange... A moment ago it was all clear and blue...Whaa... Horyo noticed that hte dark water was not caused by any thing else but a long fish like eel. It glided through the water keeping all four eyes on him, then sank back into the deep ocean. After seeing this he got up and quickly went to the cave, but more careful. He got it the pitch black cave, and lit his torch he brought along, in his sack. He ran through the cave and was stopped after he saw a dark pool of water that filled the cavern. Horyo put the torch near the pool, but the color did not change, right after he pulled back he saw a black creature leap out trying to bite him. It was the same fish he saw outside. He walked around the pool in hopes to find what his Master left him. Seeing a huge podium in the middle he started to realize that what he wanted was in there, and he froze the water, slowly stepping across the slippery bridge he created. Then a huge black creature, larger than the ones he saw before leapt up and tackled him down into the dark depths of the water...
