There was a faint breeze and the temperature was cool. The echo of the waves were in the distance as the sun began to kiss the horizon. Near the beach several waterbender ships were pulled up on the beach and tied down. The forest was pine and deciduous, animals quickly darted from treebranch to tree branch and the echo's of the forest were in the background. A small hill both man made and natural was a bussel of activity as the final components of this ancient water bending spirit ceremony were undertaken. A dozen waterbenders were lined up in a circle. there were urns, several fires set in the center equaldistant from one another as incence was burned. Several water benders were putting on a ceremonial show...and beginning their part of the ceremony weaving water around the edge as a dozen water benders formed a circle around the edges and inside two were starting to send water through glyphs and ancient writings on the stone slab and on several stone columns surrounding the area.<br/><br/>Chanting echoed it was quiet, beautiful and Ty'la couldn't help but watch with delighted fascination. She had always been curious, 'to smart for her own good' her dad had told her. though it hadn't kept her from tagging onto a few...adventures. She technically still had adventures of her own to under take. She was a fire nation officer...(reserve). Yet right now, she was just glad for the end of the war...for all that had transpired since and...being here! Her main focus was on history, but this part of history was fascinating. It was also building a bridge to the water tribe.. It was something long over due. 'Of course, I'm not going to do ANYTHING to mess this up. I'd rather not have the firelord get mad at me...if he heard.' She told herself. Instead she scribbled a few notes on her note pad. Ty'la wore her hair hanging loose her amber eyes were darting up to the now burning torches to illuminate the scene. It was...fascinating she could swear she FELT some of that spiritual energy in the area. Ty'la bit her lower lip she wore a pair of trousers, a jacket, boots, dressed comfortably. Ty'la had considered going all formal but the Waterbenders had told her they preferred her casual clothing. 'Well they probably have seen enough red and Fire Nation uniforms that they don't want to see any again!' Ty'la thought.<br/><br/>The torchers were lit by one of four water benders not really participating in the ceremony but watching. They lit a dozen torches lining the stage to provide the light. It flickered and the flames danced, they flared brighter...not through anything natural it seemed...compelled. They began to do it in time as the chanting rose the water displays became more elaborate, tendrals of water darted in the air above, forming complex shapes. They even began to glow! Some of the pillars turned the flowing water to ice....and Ty'la thought she could see energies pounding in the area. 'WOW! This is incredible' The young firebender though as her eyes darted around.
