(I'm back as Muren, if that's okay)
Muren was sitting under a tree, trying to rest in the shade. Muren had decided to desert the fire nation army and defect to the Earth nation, and he had been running for days, dodging the patrols and finding new clothes to disguise himself. Muren thought of all of his friends in the fire nation and felt his heart sink. "I might never see them again... this isn't fair, I'm too young to fight... I don't even believe in this stupid war." Muren said to himself, punching the ground as he thought of how his father, Capt. Gow, forced him to enlist and train to fight. Muren was only 15, but the army aloud his father to sign him up. "I just have to find the Avatar... he can help me... If he doesn't kill me for being a fire bender." Muren thought to himself as he remembered all of the anti-Avatar propaganda. Muren sighed and looked around, he watched the river flow for a few seconds before he saw a fire bender with flaming hands. Muren saw an earth bender near to the fire bender and thought the fire bender was about to attack. "Hey, look out!" Muren shouted to the earth bender as he ran at the fire bender and threw a ball of fire at his feet to try and scare him away.
