Fortune

The water bending scroll has been a massive boon for Katra and me, a reference for our techniques and in katar'a case, techniques helped a large amount. The scroll was pretty good quality but I could see a few flaws in it but I could easily see way more spots where it was way more efficient.

Incorporating it into my style while not gaining it's major flaw took a while but it way more worth then just using.

"Katara, did you know that water benders usually females can heal wounds with their bending"

"Really, How did you know?"

"The air nomads told me, they educated me about the bending styles of many benders, most of the famous ones."

"Do you think, I have a talent for it?"

"Maybe, let's check" as I said that, I took sokka's boomerang and made a small cut on my finger.

"Here try thinking about healing while covering it with water."

She looked a teeny bit astounded that I just cut my hand for her but she proceeded to perform her healing

The wound slowly closed at a rate visible to the naked eye and katara became excited.

"Wow, I can heal people?"

"Of course, I mean you just did it."

"Hey whatcha guys talking about?" Sokka asked from tree where he was practicing his moves.

"We just learned that katara can heal using water bending, sadly I can't" I already checked but I couldn't heal using water bending but healing others isn't really my type of thing since you can't heal yourself. I was more of a battle mage/close combat type of guy with a tiny bit of ranged attacks mixed in.

"Really katara you can heal? That's so cool."

"Healing is an rare gift and I think that it is taught in the water tribe."

"Really guys, thanks so much"

"Come on we are almost near the next town we are stopping at for tonight. The map shows that there is an dormant volcano near the town but it shouldn't be a problem."

We reached that town after a but of time and we stayed in an inn, with disguises of course. The sheer amount of disguises we had used was pretty high, they also worked well for information gathering.

I awoke the next day to find sokka spread out over the bed and katara was missing. She left a note saying that she was out exploring.

"Hey sokka, wake up its time to train"

"Is it 6 already, man I can't believe that I actually got used waking up this early. Hey where's katara?"

"She went out exploring, I am thinking of a boys day out."

" Really!! Prison break style?"

"No there is no prison here but there is a volcano which needs some exploration. Up for it? We may even find some jewelry for your girlfriend."

"I don't have one I already told you"

"But you didn't deny a future one?"

"Can we not talk bout this?"

"Sure let's get a move on"

We trekked up the volcano which was definitely not dormant he'll it was on the edge of exploding. Wait a second isn't there a famous fortune teller in town? I guess I need to defame her and get the town evacuated but first I gotta explore this volcano.

"Man aang, this town is definitely crazy, from a single glance, I can tell this joint is about to blow."

"There is some crazy fortune teller telling everyone bahut how this is dormant. I guess we need to expose her. But before that did you see that."

"See what?"

"Gems, green gemstone"

I jumped straight into a corner of the volcano where I saw a large chunk of green stone About I would say 10 carats of olivine

(Olivine gemstones are usually found in lava and in volcanos and are pretty expensive)

"Holy shit this is a lot of gems, I guess that we can make an engagement ring for the lucky girl huh sokka?"

"Can we stop talking about that. Also there is enough for two gems. You can have one for yourself and I will keep one."

I took a large chunk and gave the rest to sokka to store.

"Hey sokka give me you boomerang."

"Sure take it" he passed it to me.

I covered the blade in a current of air making it much sharper and more dangerous before using it to carve the gem into a shape of a dragon pendant. It was a bit rough around the edges but I used some air bending to smoothen it out completely.

It was shaped like a Chinese dragon coiling around itself and was pretty beautiful. I passed the boomerang back to a gobsmacked sokka

"Is there some thing you can't do?"

"Die."

"I was kidding. Sheesh"

Now I need an iron chain. Easily buyable in a market with the money I borrowed form bumi.

"Come on let's get going"

I bought a iron chain from the merchant in a market before finding katara coming out from the fortune telling shop.

She had a massive brush on her face when she saw me.

"Hey Katara guess what me and aang did!?"

" Whatcha guys do?"

"We went into a volcano and we found-"

I stepped on his foot cause I wanted to surprise her with the pendant.

"Hey katara I was really happy when you realized that you could heal so I got you a present"

"Really what is it?

"Close your eyes."

"Ok"

I maneuver to behind her and tied the pendant around her neck.

"Open your eyes."

She saw the pendant and nearly fainted.

Lhhhllw? Where did you buys this?." She looked mortified and happy at the same time if that was possible

"We found the gemstone in the volcano and I used bending to carve this shape out and I bought the chain from a merchant."

"Really, is this for me"

"Of course who else. It is pretty valuable"

Her cheeks were glittered with a unbelievably red. I guess that fortune teller must have fed her something regarding me.

"Hey is that the fortune teller?"

"Yes. Why??"

Instead of replying, I walked in and saw the lady.

I looked her in the eye and said" your fortunes are false"

"Ahah you are a bad liar"

"I can prove it. That volcano will erupt within a week, but since that takes a while, tell me a fortune about the present and I shall debunk it"

By now the entire town population had gathered her cause Sokka had told everyone about this. It was part of out master plan.

"Oh really I predict that you are not a bender" pretty good bet since only a percent of the population of this world are benders and none would travel to this remote village.

I didn't reply but simply raised my hand and a large amount of water gathered there it my hands to form a spinning disk.

The entire population was appalled by my display

"That was my fault. It was a fluke, an accident"

"Really then tell me another prediction, if that one is also false then you must be a fake. Also it cannot be a common fact like I can't bend other elements or something easily deductible.

"I predict that you are from the northern water tribe" another good guess. There hasn't been a water bender form the southern water tribe for almost a century except for katara but she wasn't well known at all.

"Ahah sadly all of you know that all water benders form the northern tribe have markings on their back which as you see, I don't have. So you are not only a bad liar, you also endangered everyone here by lying about the volcano's activity"

"I ask from the townsfolk for your own self you to check the volcano once and you shall know that the volcano may erupt at any moment."

Before they could make anything out, I grabbed sokka and katara and bolted out of there before we could be recognized.
