Avatar: The tale of a fire bender

You could see a beautiful, lush garden with a small pond in it.

Then all of a sudden a teenage boy runs through it.

"I surrender, I surrender!" He screamed

His scream was followed by a couple of flames. The ones that missed him burned part of the garden. This was followed by a feminine laugh ringing behind another barrage of flames.

"hahaha! As if I would let you go so easily, brother.

Now stop running and fight properly I want to kick your ass"

This was said by my not-so-adorable little sister.

I am the guy with part of his hair now on fire. I am called Zane.

Let's go back a few minutes before I was in this precarious position.

I began my day as always standing up at early sunrise.

I went for breakfast and meditated for an hour. After that, it was time for my training.

I had to train by myself because my weapon trainer had left for a mission a week ago. He should come back tomorrow. My regular training partner was his daughter, but she went with him. He trained me with several weapons, but I was best with dual broadswords and a longbow. When I was younger I was better with no weapons, but since I couldn't use my fire bending anymore I switched to weapon training. Occasionally I train in the forms of fire bending, but it had little effect. So for today, I choose to train with the longbow.

It was not that hard to hit the targets I even could do it in absence of my mind. Since it was so easy my head started to wonder how I could make it harder. When I remembered a dream that I had. In this dream, I seemed to work in a factory of a kind and there I place cogs to make a machination that could move. As I remembered this I started to think of a way I could use that to move the target on a wall or around a field. Then all of a sudden my sister came behind me and scared me.

"Boo" she screamed in my ear while her hands suddenly touched my shoulders.

As I was startled my flight or attack response was turned on and I turned around to kick her.

Not knowing it was my battle-crazed sister. She spun to the side and looked at me with an antagonizing gaze.

"Owh someone wants to have another spar, let's see how you do this time brother without your weapons." She said as she send a fire jab toward my side. I immediately stepped back narrowly dodging the fire and made a run for the arrows I had shot since I was out of them. I knew that fighting my sister without weapons in close combat would be dumb as she could use fire and I did not. I also hadn't any weapons that I could use to help with dissipating the fire attacks while attacking her. It was smart of her to start a fight now that I don't have them with me. While what would I expect from my smart sister? She always seemed to know when she had the upper hand and could start a fight she could or would win.

My sister would of course not let me get the arrows as she send a barrage of fire blasts.

I once again had to dodge and since she shot the fire also partially to the side of the arrows I had to go the other way.

As I dodged I couldn't help myself, but compliment her for her strategy again. Of course, I didn't say this out loud wouldn't want it to go to her already arrogant mind. In the meantime, I also looked for a way out of this fight. When I saw that I was close to the exit to the garden I started to run there. As I was running I was followed by a couple of blue flames. This was the newest addition to my sister's fire bending. She practiced it so much she found a way to perfect the energy she sent in the fire for a higher temperature while keeping her control. She hadn't perfected it just yet, but when she was angry she could do it more easily. My hypothesis was correct as no second later I heard my sister screaming.

"Stop running you, coward"

I didn't listen to her and ran away I planned to run towards the palace where she would be prohibited to fight. I even tried to stop the fight by calling out that I surrendered, but no she wanted to fight. Which she just laughed at. Well, that comes back to the present.

I saw that she had closed the distance between us and that I couldn't make it to the palace so might as well try to fight. I turned around and sidestepped another fire blast. While running toward her. She also was closing in and as she came closer started a fire jab towards my head. As she did that I bend my knees to avoid the jab and did a circle kick. She jumped upwards avoiding the kick and I saw that one of her lacks went all the way up. It would probably be a downward fire kick. So I rolled the side only getting slightly burned from the fires coming down. This was followed by her trying to send a fireblast to my face but since I was close by I could push her hand away. With the fire narrowly missing me I sent a jab to her shoulder to try to decrease the mobility of her arms. But she turned to the side faster and hit me in the torso. I staggered back but soon found that another fire blast was coming to my face. As I was staggering and trying to dodge I stumbled over a root and fell to the ground I hit my head against a rock and everything went black as I heard my sister just laughing at my predicament.

============================================================

AN: Redid the first chapter hope that this is better. I will also redo the second before I start writing new chapters. For those reading this I don't plan on uploading a chapter soon again this was more the spur-of-the-moment thing. I do plan to one time finish this fan-fic, but I honestly don't see that happening this year. So I recommend you to not read this story until there are multiple chapters.

I also want to like to know what you thought of it so far and what I should do better. Did you like the fight if so what part and what could I do better for next time?
