Added 2025-04-10 00:21:01 +0000 UTCThe feeling of the wind through my hair, the icicles shooting past me making death pass me by the barest gaps, the roar of the drums of war in my ears. This was what I had been born in this life for. I twisted and landed on the ground in a standard superhero pose, sending an arc of green flames that tossed the waterbenders and other soldiers near me off their feet.

I took a deep breath and stepped forward, pushing flames from both my fists.
The fire shot into the water, boiling and evaporating the massive wave in a matter of seconds. And I didn’t even feel tired. I shot at them, green flames from my feet propelling me like a jet thruster into the face of my target. He brought his arm to bear and blocked my punch with ease. I smirked in the face of the young man’s confidence and unleashed flames from the fist that was caught against his forearm. It was like his upper body was replaced with a charred skeleton in a manner of seconds.
I twisted into a spinning kick that send fire all around me, forcing the water benders to defend themselves and their non-bending compatriots.
