Avatar: A New Hope! [RP]

Miyu continued to sit on the beach leaning against a rock staring out at sea as the waves crashed to shore, she still held her flute in her hands but didnt play it. She was mainly staring at the reflection of the moon on the water, it was dissorted from the waves, she felt like that she could relate to the feeling of being dissorted, she never felt like she had a purpose or even knew if she had one. People were never around her very long so she figured that if she did have a purpose, that it meant she had to do it alone, so a repeating question hit her, "Why am I here?" she asked herself out loud

Zoru walked along the shores of the beach, his right hand holding a small orb of flame to light the way. I've never been this far from the Fire Nation.. And Father.. His left hand clutched absentmindedly at his necklace, the proud sign of the Fire Nation insignia along two thin rope cords. He turned his head upwards, seeing a figure up ahead sitting on the beach. He waved the fire from his hands and jumped behind a small sand dune, the shifting of sand beneath his form making small amounts of sand. Who is she..? His eyes gazed at the form, his eyes straining before he could make out that it was a woman. She may be another assassin sent after me.. Better go check her out

He crept closer, his hand coming out now to touch at the girls shoulder. "Hello.."

((Hmmmm.... this person may be out to kill me.... I have a great idea! Let's get closer to her!))

|New Day!|
| I am sorry if anyone were up to something, but I believe it will take more haste if we start the adventure sooner |

Hou stretched as she got up from bed with a yawn. She walked across her room and got dressed. Briefly afterwards putting on the usual Kyoshi Warrior makeup. Once that was done, she opened the window and looked outside. The village was empty at the time being. Most people were probably sleeping in the guest cottages. After all, the scent of night could still be smelled in the air. The air was a little chilling as the morning had just arrived. She walked out, down to the statue at the center of the village. She kneeled before it and closed her eyes, standing quietly.

They should be waking up soon. Then they would meet for a final meeting where they would get their last questions answered along with the map that Hou had worked with as good as all night long.

[I'm changing his name to Zuru. Dx]

Zuru walked along the road towards Kyoshi Village, his mind wandering somewhat as he stepped over a hill and into the village to observe the statue of Kyoshi herself. Frowning, he turned and headed into the housing areas. Last time I was here.. he sighed somewhat, thinking about what happened. "Your Father was ordered to burn this place to the ground.." An unknown voice spoke up from behind him. He turned around to see a masked woman. "What do you want?" He spoke up, his voice drifting across the trail. "I want you dead, Traitor!"

The woman jumped into the sky, her foot coming down towards his form before a crescent of flame sparked and seared through the air. Zuru quickly flipped backwards, a bit of smoke rising from the cloth on his right shoulder. Whew.. That was a close one! He took a deep breath, his nostrils flaring before smoke trailed from them. He charged at her, thinking he could end this before the masked assassin could bring any destruction upon the area.

He ducked as another kick came his way, the womans' leg swinging over his head before he came upwards, his hand touching his lower jaw. He breathed in deeply before letting out a large spout of flames from his throat. The attack was futile as she brought down a hand equipped with a dagger made from flame. It struck Zuru in the shoulder, his scream of pain equivalent to his growing rage. The dagger quickly dissipated from his shoulder before she swung the other hand, his form quickly launching backwards with no second thoughts.

The ball of flame that came from her fist surged past him and hit the corner of a wooden building, setting it aflame. He ducked low as she tried the same move once more, his leg extending in a sweep kick, flames shooting from his moving foot struck her legs. She screamed and toppled over, Zuru quickly moving to bring down an unsheathed steel dagger to her neck.

Watching this battle. A lone figure stood on the peak of the hill his red cape fluttering in the cool morning breeze. His features obscured by the light from the rising sun behind. He stood watching silently. Quietly hoping both fire warriors killed each other. Especially the female assasin. The other...he wasn't so sure about.

Miyu couldnt sleep the night before, she stayed up all night staring out at the ocean thinking and sorting out why she was here, she wanted to help but she didnt know if they wanted or even needed her help. She sighed and stood up, she figured that she would head back to where everyone was supposed to meet.

When she was almost to her destination she spotted a fight, she didnt know either of them but that was to be expected from her. She didnt want to interupt so she stayed a safe distance from them while watching them at the same time, if one was her enemy, she could always watch for weaknesses.

Hou heard a scream and gave out a sharp whistle. She knew the difference between a scream of panic and a scream of pain. This was no 'I spot a mouse' scream. It took only seconds before acrobaticly a number of Kyoshi warriors came out of their cottages and dashed in the direction that Hou pointed in. All armed with their fans and darts, as Hou dashed after the rest of the group. She stopped for a moment as she heard a loud noise. Which was Uno who stumbled over the edge of her doorway. Hou sighed, as she kept running with Uno not far behind.

It did not take many seconds before they arrived at the spot, standing on higher ground than the actual fighters. They all took out their fans and put themselves in battle positions.

"Seize this battle!"

Hou voiced as she walked out from between the line of Kyoshi warriors.

The moon had nearly dipped below the horizon as the golden sun crept higher. The lone figure noticed the girl arrive and studied her as a threat. It didn't seem like she was and she must have been an Earth Bender but she was extremely beautiful in the morning twilight. Keeping an eye on both the fight and the girl he made his way over to her. A good two minute journey. He aproached her as un-threatening as he could. She noticed him approach...

Zuru quickly withdrew the dagger into and under the sleeve of tarnished red mail he wore on his right arm, his head held up high as he looked to the warriors. "This woman here is an assassin from the Fire Nation. She is loyal, I am not. I am a traitor and she was sent to kill me." He stepped onto her stomach, leaving her still on the ground with a small line of blood trickling down her neck. "I was asking for a way to travel to the South Pole." She said then, wiggling underneath him. "SILENCE!" He bellowed, his boot pushing down on her abdomen harder. "She tried to kill me." He turned to full view, blood soaking the white cloth he wore on his chest, a gaping hole in his right shoulder.

Miyu saw the huge wound on the guys shoulder and the healer part of her wanted to take over, she wanted to help him but she didnt completely trust him. Without realizing what she was doing her feet carried her towards the man ignoring everyone around, her eyes glued to the wound that seemed to bleed a lot. She wasnt very close before she snapped out of her daze and stared at the man who had the wound, her eyes saying that she wanted to help him but also wanted to know if she could trust him.

"Identify yoursef, firebender"

With those words, a number of Kyoshi warriors ran down to secure both from any threat that they could cause from where they were located. Their speed and agility left little option for either of the two, as they were secured.

Hou watched Zekelazmizen and Miyu while waiting for Zuru to answer her question. It was a long time since they had hostility on Kyoshi Island, so there might be more threat than these two.

The red caped, scorched armoured figure noticed the Earth warriors surround the fighters. The fight ended. 'Hmm...' He thought as he wondered who the victor might be. He came closer to the girl but stopped when Hou showed herself. 'Impressive...seems the rumours were true...' He thought.

Zuru looked down at the girl, his head bobbed up and then down in a small gesture. "You're a healer..?" His face remained emotionless except for the burning rage in his eyes that had been built up during the battle. "That's good.. But I have some business to take care of.. I can't let her go.. Or she'll tell the Fire Nation where I am, and they'll be here to destroy everything.. To find me." With that, he straightened his hand and swung it downwards, a spark of blue lightning shot out of his hand before hitting the woman in the chest and striking her heart. The woman spasmed quite a bit before she finally went limp.

His gaze drifted to the warrior named Hou. "I am Zuru.. Son of the great General Zuo." His eyes slowly began to lose the spark from his anger and rage. "I have business here with the group who wishes to find the new Avatar.. But We'll talk later.. I have little time left for now.."

Zuru bent down, his hands running along the dead womans' face and closed her eyes with a few flicks of his fingertips. "You are Fire Nation. You tried your best to do what you believed was right.. With that you should go with honor.. I'm sure you were a great firebender." He sighed, sinking to his knees. Everything went blurry before he collapsed face down into the dirt, unconscious from his open wound letting too much blood flow out.

((Unfortunately nobody except Hou has possibly actually ever seen or even knows of Zekelazmizen.)) The warriors watched Mayu. Zekelaz' stayed back. He didnt want to get involved in case he became another suspect..although anyone who noticed him would suspect him since he was in fire warrior armour too.

"Bring both firebenders back to the village and put them in the temple. I will deal with him once he gain conscious again personally. For now, take them there and make sure he can not bend to when he wakes up. I do not want the temple to burn to the ground again"

She waved them of and watched the lifeless woman as the two was carried up into the village.

"If you search for the avatar, then this is the group for you. I may not be a bender, but I do notice when someone is near. On my island, even the winds speak to me of presences."

Hou turned her head in the direction of Zekelazmizen with a smile. She made sure to say it within hearing of Zuru as well when they carried him away. He was unconscious but even unconscious people might snap up words and noises.

Miyu followed the warriors that took off "Please let me heal him first!" she quickly called out "He is no use to us dead" she said quietly. she needed to heal him, with that would bleeding out like it was there was no way he would survive without healing hands.

As the Kyoshi warriors carried Zuru away, his ears took in and stored what had been said after he had passed out.

[One-liner.. Sorry but I have nothing to go on since I have no idea how to keep a firebender restrained.]

"You may heal once he is secured"

The Kyoshi warriors made sure for her to keep her distance as they took him into the temple. They walked up to the far end where they opened a box. Out of the box them picked something similar to stone gloves and boots. They then sat Zuru on a bench and covered his hands and feet with blocks of rock, that was specificly designed to prevent bending. The design was simple, as what it did was keeping fingers, toes, wrists and ankles from moving. That way bending was impossible.

"You may heal, miss"

Zekel smiled back then watched the girl. "Should she be doing that?" Zekelaz' asked.
