				<div align="center">(http://i46.tinypic.com/350nf6f.jpg)</div>Originally, the summon had come for her father.&nbsp; She thought back to that day: the mists hung low over the village the morning the messenger rode up.&nbsp; As daughter of the chief, Sulis was privy to the writings on the parchment: The Avatar had been named and his presence at the naming ceremony was required.&nbsp; Within the day, Cael had packed and was leaving. The message told of a need for a bending master to teach the young Avatar, and with none better than his own daughter, Sulis had been thrust into a life she had not asked for.<br><br>Arriving in the walls of the Earth Kingdom city, Sulis was treated to sights beyond her dreams.&nbsp; Richly colored banners adorned the corners of every building on the way to the temple. Sulis stared as she approached the temple-the building was small, but painted with rich crimsons and glorious golds.<br><br>Cael had already been in the temple for an easy 3 hours. Sulis sighed, circling the gardens for the thousandth time. Nervous at meeting the Avatar, she found herself more bored than excited.&nbsp; Padding across the bright hued flowers, Sulis started as the doors to the inner courtyard swung open.<br>"Miss...?" A robed man peered from the doors and bllinked at the light.&nbsp; Sulis nodded, approaching the threshold.&nbsp; Dark surrounded her as her eyes adjusted, but she looked at the shapes of those within. Slowly her eyes adjusted, and she could make out her father sitting at the far end of a low table, surrounded by a series of similarly aged man and women.<br><br>She stopped and stared as her eyes circled the room and stopped on the figure of the Avatar.

				[Pic: http://media.photobucket.com/image/fire%20bender/Arctic_Penguin/Anime/firedancer.jpg (http://media.photobucket.com/image/fire%20bender/Arctic_Penguin/Anime/firedancer.jpg) only difference is she has longer red hair.]<br><br><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">Bright emerald hues shimmered in the shadows the hood of her cloak cast on her face. Soft tan skin was hidden, begging to shine in the sun, but here that could not happen. No matter her reason for being here, not everybody would trust her. A small groan, a thing she would show most nobody, escaped her as she moved to the doors of the temple.<br><br>Brow raised at the garden, a small quirk of the lips. Raezal was put off, but also slightly pleased, at the beauty. She bowed her head as the man opened the doors to allow her. Passing him with little more than that, she adjusted to the dark quickly.<br><br>A quick glance to the figures in the room, her eyes stood longer on two specific ones. A young woman, who was also standing staring at the other... A boy, a little younger than Raezal herself, who she pegged as the Avatar.<br><br>Reaching up, slender fingers grasped the material of the cloak at her collarbone, only to pull the fabric off. Revealing herself as a Fire Nation member wearing red and light brown clothes. She had a rapier on her hip, which traveled the length of most her thigh. She looked Elegant, but slight arrogant, like a Fire-bender.</span>

				His hands came up to meet, elbows out to the side, fist on top of another.&nbsp; His feet close together, his back straight and his chin held high.&nbsp; a proper style for the earth nation as he bowed lightly to the water bending master that appeared, and then again to the fire bending master that showed up moments after, showing respect with a proper greeting toward them.&nbsp; "Water Sensei and Fire Sensei, I am pleased to meet you both."&nbsp; He said in a calm and gentle voice as he stood up straight again and lowered his arms, noticing this two teachers were both woman.&nbsp; It was not surprising to have female masters after all woman tended to teach more than the males anyways as the males were sent off to lead squads and fleets to battle.&nbsp; While woman battle too, it was preferred that they stayed behind to help train and prepare more troops to send out onto the battlefield.&nbsp; Thus, most trainers and drillers were woman.<br><br>Brock looked to the water bender, his eyes scanning her quickly.&nbsp; He actually preferred woman water benders over men, the females and their bodies seemed to much more of a natural flow and understanding of the way water works and bends along with their curves and petite figures.&nbsp; Looking to the woman on the fire nation he would also probably prefer a female.&nbsp; It was no doubt the males were fierce and strong, but he wanted to learn control not just destruction.&nbsp; With the fire nation as his enemy he trusted a woman more than a man as well.<br><br>"My name is Brock of the Earth Nation.&nbsp; I am...the avatar."&nbsp; He stated even though it was still a bit of a shock to him.&nbsp; He motioned to them as he stepped toward a room, "come...we can discuss our plans and exchange words and pleasantries in here where we have more privacy."&nbsp; He stated as he looked around at the many on lookers.&nbsp; He held aside the tarp to the door way, offering them to come in as he looked to their faces and bodies.&nbsp; They were both rather young, he would guess a few years older than him.&nbsp; They seemed strong and skilled just from how they looked and moved, yet they also had feminie charms and beauties about them.

				Startled by the bow and the respectful introduction, Sulis found herself struggling to hold back a nervous giggle. Shouldn't she be the one bowing? Opting to err on the side of humble, she replicated his bow, adding her own village's flair to the bow.<br>"Greetings Avatar Brock," Sulis breathed, a slight accent to her words.&nbsp; "It is an honor to meet you and I look forward to training you."&nbsp; She exhaled deeply, still lowered in her bow. Slowly she stood, clasping her hands together to hide their shaking. Without another word, she walked into the room the avatar had opened, hoping to catch a few seconds to herself to tame her nervousness.

				<span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">She watched their formal greetings, she opted for a more stoic greeting. A nod of her head to the Avatar, she glanced to the Water-bender. She had mixed thoughts of this. Water-bending was very elegant, when done right, but she also thought it was too gentle most the time. She had respect for all Bending, that was why she found her way to this situation, but she was also a calculating person.<br><br>A mental sigh and she followed the other girl to the room. "To get this straight from the start, because you ARE the Avatar, I will be strict." Her voice was strong and smooth, she seemed a no-nonsense teacher. <br><br>Looking to the Water-Bender, she raised a brow and gave a small quirk of her lips, almost a smile. "I am anxious to seeing how fast he learns. I hope you can deal with my teaching style... it may vary completely from yours." It didn't sound challenging, well, not completely. She was testing the girl's reactions. How would she act? Mad? Un-bothered?<br><br>"I am Raezal..." She offhandedly said as she watched them. Raezal was actually very pleased to be here, meeting them. She was offended by the Fire-Nation, and was set to put a stop to the war, and this was the best way she could.</span>

				Brock followed them in after as he noticed his water bending teacher bowed back, however, the fire bending master just gave him a slight nod.&nbsp; While the woman from the water tribe seemed more humbled and nervous before him, the woman from the fire nation seemed much more prepared and ready for anything, honor, glory, and pride in her eyes.&nbsp; She was tough, he could tell while the other one was more sweet and innocent it seemed.&nbsp; Either way he supposed it would be a good variety, as each benders had their own traits.&nbsp; He himself was more quiet and calm, earth benders tending to not thrive on many emotions at all but are solid and still as they just listen and wait.<br><br>He followed them into the room as they went, closing the curtain behind them.&nbsp; "It is an honor to meet both of you."&nbsp; he said bowing once again, "I am grateful that you have decided to come train me in such a short amount of time and notice.&nbsp; Even though I am the avatar I am simply humbled and must thank both of you masters, for you two are to be my sensei.&nbsp; The avatar cannot do anything without those who teach him to master the elements, so I am not complete until you two train me."&nbsp; He bowed again, this time even lower and he got down on one knee, resting on palm on the ground and another on his knee.<br><br>He looked to them both, especially to Raezal.&nbsp; "I promise to do what it takes, I will listen diligently and will obey your commands, though one thing I must warn you about..."&nbsp; He said with a small smirk, "I may ask a lot of questions because I like to be well informed and understand what is going on.&nbsp; I like to learn, and I think in this case it is best I know all I can."&nbsp; He sighed and swallowed hard, closing his eyes.&nbsp; "I know a lot is riding on me in this war, so I will do my best not to disappoint you two."

				Find herself a seat in the smal room, Sulis sat, her eyes cast down to her hands. She glanced up as first the firebender than the avatar slipped in after her, but said nothing. She listened as the fire bender-Raezal-spoke so sternly to the avatar, wishing she had that sort of authority. Blushing as the avatar bowed once again, Sulis stood, again bowing, though not as low the second time.<br>"Please, Avatar Brock.&nbsp; There is no need to humble yourself. I, as the rest of the world, have the utmost faith in you."&nbsp; She stood, her face burning.&nbsp; "Ask all the questions you need, but I know that you will learn all that you need to know quickly."<br>Turning to face the fire bender she again bowed, but her movements were stiff. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Raezal." She straightened, facing the Brock once again. "I am called Sulis, of the Hot Springs water tribe."

				<span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">She looked to Sulis and nodded to her. "A pleasure that goes both ways, Sulis."&nbsp; She noted the girls lack of comfort and mentally sighed. She didn't mean to sound so rude, but it was a habit. Glancing to Brock she gave a small frown.<br><br>"He should be concerned with how he acts. He may be the Avatar, but he has a duty... which can only be fulfilled if he puts others before himself." She spoke quietly, sounding frustrated, as if at herself. She turned her stance into that of a skilled warrior studying their foe. "I will be 'delighted' to answer any questions I can... but first I have a few."<br><br>She crossed her arms. "What are your skills as of now? Do you understand you will never be a fully learned Avatar, due to no Air-Bending Teacher?" She lowered her head some, she had a question that she wasn't sure anybody had asked him before. "Do you really think you can handle the responsibilities of the Avatar? Can you do it, knowing that its succeed or die, no matter what?..." She sound concerned.</span>

				Brock slowly stood up and walked over to Sulis and slightly bowed once again, taking her hand in his as he kissed the back of it, then did the very same thing to Raezal.&nbsp; "It is indeed a pleasure to have you both here, Sulis and Raezal."&nbsp; He looked to Sulis with a small smirk, "thank you for your kindness, but I am humbled to have both of you agree to become my teachers especially in such a short amount of time.&nbsp; To be able to work with two other masters from the other nations is a great honor.&nbsp; I just found out I was the avatar, so I am still trying to...adjust to it, I guess it is still kind of a chock to me."&nbsp; His cheek turned red slightly as he scratched his hair, but then bowed once again quickly, "and thank you for believing in me, I will need all the help and encouragement I can get, that is for sure."<br><br>He turned his attention to Raezal, while she seemed more stern, it was also very welcoming.&nbsp; each of the ladies seemed to compliment one another.&nbsp; Both would be encouraging in different ways, helping to balance out the other and give him a wide range of training.&nbsp; He frowned slightly at her questions though and turned to look away, avoiding her eyes for a moment.<br><br>Brock sighed heavily and nodded, "I know I can never be a fully realized avatar now.&nbsp; The avatar from the water nation before me was proof as the fire nation disposed of him, I cannot make the same mistakes.&nbsp; I am the last real hope for this world."&nbsp; He swallowed hard, so much pressure was riding on his shoulders.&nbsp; "The last comet was used to take out the avatar before me, the upcoming comet the fire nation will use and harness will most likely be used against me.&nbsp; If I fail the next avatar will be of the fire nation, if they harness the power of the avatar or kill him off then the war will be all over.&nbsp; I am the last avatar that can help, because after the fire nation avatar, the cycle will be broken since once cannot be born into the air nation and the avatar will cease to exist."<br><br>He dropped to his hands and knees, bowing to Raezal and Sulis, "which is why I am pleading for the help of you two.&nbsp; You are masters of your nations, I and the Earth Nation needs your help to not only train me but to form alliances and armies to take on the fire nation.&nbsp; The avatar cannot save the world alone this time, the last one proved that.&nbsp; Without the air bender's connection and link I cannot take on the fire nation's vast army and power alone.&nbsp; Train me, help me, guide me."&nbsp; He looked up at them, "if you are interested in what I know already or what to get a feel for me then perhaps we could spar."

				With a slight grimace at the thought of sparing the Avatar, Sulis shook her head and spoke. "In my tribe, we do not practice combat." She reddened, staring at her hands.&nbsp; "I don't even know any combative bending. I can teach you the basics, but the rest is up to you"<br><br><br>((All that wait for a really short post, Sorry. ))
