Soon the next morning came and as a part of the royal family sleep patterns where instilled to give a sense of decorum that commoners might not have as well as adequate time to do the duties give to royals. Even though that is the case since I'm only seven years old no duties were given and could spend my time as I please.
After having a wash I decided to immediately return to the library and pick up the next level of beginner bending scrolls which is elemental manifestation. Afterwards I returned to my room to find non other than Azula and Zuko at my door. Azula with the typical frown and zuko carried a gaze that would suggest he was lost or perhaps upset. Since they didn't seem to notice my approach I decided to announce myself. " Azula, zuko is their something I can help you with? " after that they both immediately snapped their necks to me, Azula scoffed and entered my room whist Zuko came towards me.
"Mael, I was wondering if you'd help me with my studies, since you've started as well" currently zuko was quite timid as his mother was overly affectionate towards him but I knew that could change due to his father's influence. Quickly agreeing to the request we entered my room and once again Azula sat on my bed whist zuko stat on a chair. Taking out the pervious scroll, I explained in detail how accessing your will power through the heart is described and my experience in doing so. Afterwards I moved them both to my court yard and gave them time to settle into the lotus position.
" Zuko, Azula now that you've ready yourselves you should do as we discussed. I'll move onto the next stage which is manifesting my bending" giving a final read to the scroll I finally decided to ready myself and begin.
Entering the horse-stance I calmed my breathing and then pivoting with my right foot I struck forward with my right hand. My energy circulation was messy and I could tell my body was still adapting to the awaking stage through my attempted manifestation of fire.
Turing around and seeing the twins focusing I decided to also meditate to better circulate my chi and further integrate my will power with it.
In doing so hours past and I eventually was stirred from my meditation by an angry Azula as she couldn't accomplish the same feet I did the day before. " what's wrong LaLa" my smile couldn't help but reach my ears. At my provocation she turned around and immediately saw my smile.
" aarraahhhh" letting out a frustrated cry she continued "why is he better then me? father said I'd have a great affinity to fire, this isn't fair" squealing like a spoiled brat I couldn't help but look at zuko with pity as such he returned my stare.
Walking towards them I asked how they felt and if they progressed. The first to talk was Zuko " I think I'll complete my awakening in about 15 days which according the scroll would make me a top tier genius" with that he beamed as since birth he always felt he wasn't that talented due to Azula.
Turning to Azula she give a proud huff and then the answers " 7 days, I can feel the progress going smoothly and it shouldn't take me long" Azula has always been proud as she's excelled in everything she's attempted and this gave birth to a though ' why system can I see Azulas and zuko stats'

With that we ended the day as the twin became mentally tired from the long meditation. The next day was the same however I was able to clear my Meridians of the impurities by circulating my chi and also integrating my will power to be able to manifest my element. Later that evening I attempted my previous exercise of performing a forward punch from horse-stance and then it happened.
