Ariel woke up to find herself chained up to a wall in a cell. She looked around to look for her friends, but she couldn't find them. Then a man walked into the cell, snearing. He looked at Ariel and laughed.

"Spitting image of your mother, yes??you are. I hear your pretty powerful too.??Who else could submerge a boat and still make a cover for it at the same time. Yes, even though that other waterbender??was good, oyu did most of the work. Can't wait to send you to the Fire Lord.", the man said smirking.

"Do you know who I am???I'm??Ariel Zufalon, daughter of??Isaiah Zufalon and Erica Zufalon who was one of the most powerful waterbenders ever. If my mother was alive and she saw this treatment she would-", Ariel was cut off by the man's slimy hand.

"Hush you crazy girl. I??know waht your mother would do. She almost killed our Fire Lord in a dangerous battle. Hmph, I still think that she was the most powerful waterbender ever.", the man??whispered.??Another man came by her cell to tell him that the Fire Lord wanted??his prisoner. The first man unshackled Ariel, then he dragged her out of the cell. Ariel then used her waterbending powers to sling the man using the water in his body. Ariel then snatched the water out of??his body thriugh his stomach and used that water to slash the other??man that tried to run away.

Ariel started to run around??around the??palace to find??her friends when lighting flew right pass her. Another firebender came by smirking. He ran towards Ariel when all of a sudden his legs stopped moving and he was feeling an excruating pain. Ariel started to bend the water in his legs and then frozen the water around the man's muscles, ligaments, and tendons. She then sent??a sharp wave??of water in his body towards his heart. killing him instantly.

Ariel kept running until she found the door to??Fire Lord's throne room. She opened it, wondering if her friends were their, until ropes flew to her hands and legs, crushing her pressure??points so she couldn't bend out of them. Ozai then appeared before her,??laughing on his throne.

" Little Ariel made it back to me. I knew you couldn't??resist my invitation, and??consconcience wouldn't let you. Now that you're here though I can finally feel at more peace. Over the years I've felt a piece of me is missing. I mean my nation is winnig the??war and the Avatar is nowhere in sight or probably not??strong enough to fight me. ??Then it hit me, I was missing my most trusted advisor Ariel! I know I was the one who killed your mother but??I really wan't you to come back to me and fufill your mother's destiny. Though not as my advisor, but my bride!!", the Fire??Lord exclaimed.?? Ariel's eyes became real wide, as she thought of becoming the Fire Lord's new wife!!!??

"Why me?", she asked fearfully.

"Because I need a??strong woman and bender just like you. Though you would have to train a lot more. So do you agree?. If you don't then I promise you that you'll never see your friends again!!!", he warned.

"Okay", Ariel sighed.

'Then it's setteled. We will marry on the day that Sozin's comet arrives. Until then you will trian to become the an even more powerful??waterbender than you are now.", Ozai shouted. After he was done with??her, Ariel was sent??back to the ocean's edge to find herself a trainer. Only problem??is that Ariel didn't know where she could find herself one.????????

Yari the "ribbonbender" (Airbender)

:Told to leave BSS for her own safety:

Yari had no real place to stay once again. At least, while she was still in BSS. That alone with Sue's warning did not still well with her. She was paranoid. Hood always covering her head, constant watch for Cheif Haelin's agents, she had become a refugee... just like her father. It was under the radar for her until she finally got out of BSS.

She was now on open road reaching a near by market blending with the crowd surrounding her. In an instant she found herself swiftly being grabbed into an alley by her wrists. Yari managed to get a quick glance of the face belonging to the one who had just snatched her. It was the same agent she spotted at the tournament. "I was hoping to find you again" the agent said pulling off her hood, "Roe's daughter. I was hoping to get you at the tournament but you disappeared at second glance. No matter, I can take to the Chief now. Once your father hears of your capture he'll turn himself in in exchange for your freedom. One less conspirator we'll have to chase."

"I'm sorry but I can't let that happen," she responded as she followed by raming her body into his loosening his grip on her wrists to bend. In a instant, a huge gust of wind pushed the agent away from her. Yari unravelled the ribbon on her waist sending it at the agent airbending it's mobility. The huge ribbon pulled the agents legs back causing him to fall face first on the ground before airbending returned the ribbon to Yari. It circled Yari only leaving minimal visibility of her. Quickly, she boosted herself above the spiralling ribbon onto a roof and sent an air current under the ribbon guiding it up to her while the agent tried to regain composure. She sprinted across the roofs but soon enough the agent followed leaded her to jump down.

Yari landed??but her attempt to continue??running was put to a halt. She was surrounded by 7 people and one on the way. It was clear the 6 robed men were about to attack. It was just a single girl on the opposite end of their unmatched attack and it didn't seem like they minded if Yari were to accompany the girl's same fate.

"Damn" she mumbled to herself...

((if you're happy with this, Indra can just continue))

Scorch (Fire Bender)

Rin and Scorch stood in the temple for several minutes, neither of them moving, and Scorch heard Rin whimper, and then felt tears run onto his neck from Rin's face.

"Rin, what's wrong?" asked Scorch. He looked down at her and tears were covering her face. She was sobbing and Scorch didn't know what was wrong. He took his hand and gently lifted Rin's head until she met eyes with him. "Rin, what's wrong."

"Tomorrow," she began, "is my birthday." The tears just rained down heavier from her face.

"What's so bad about that? asked Scorch.

"If tomorrow is my birthday," said Rin, "this is the day my brother... died." Scorch's eyes widened, knowing how sensitive Rin was about her brother. Scorch put his arms around her and pulled her in closer, hugging her again. (Rin, take it from here)

Ami (waterbender)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I????sat up on the bed as Fang went to bathe, he had stayed with me that whole time... I knew he would be there for me if I told him what was coming up in??about four days. I had to tell him about that... he deserved to know. I walked out unsure of how I was going to tell him. I still had to put my hand on the wall but I was better than I had been about an hour prior.

"How am I going to tell Fang about what's coming up?" I wondered

"Straight forward is always easiest?"

"Guru?" I turned to

"Yes, Ami, you carry a great burden in the deaths of your parents... but remember no matter what is said that they always love you" he paused "just because they left this world doesn't mean that their love for you did"

"I know, but it's so hard to talk to anyone about them"

"He truly loves you, Ami, you need to be open with him... water is your element, let the sound of the stream comfort you in this time as you remember what you lost, and what you gained" Kai smiled to me "you ganed a lot in the last few days am I right"

"Yes, I fell in love... something I swore I'd never do"

"Sometimes your mind will say that but fate has other ideas... you were ment to find Fang for a reason... so you can find true love"

"Okay, thank you Guru Kai" I bowed respectfully and went on to find Fang, I had to tell him what was going on.

I soon saw him training.

"Fang, can I talk to you?" I asked

"Sure, what about?" he said and stopped training to talk with me "shouldn't you still be resting... after that scare you gave us, I would hate to have you have another episode like that, you scared the hell out of me"

"I'm sorry" I said

"Its okay" he smiled "what do you want to talk to me about"

"The anniversary of my parents death is in three days... that's why I've been upset off and on, and these nightmares... I blame myself for what happened to them..." I whispered "maybe if I had listened they would still be here"

"Ami, you said it yourself you were barely eight when they died, there was nothing that you could have done to save them... but think about it, if that hadn't happened, would we be here together today?" he asked

"No... we wouldn't, I'd still be at the north poll" I said

"Come one Ami, you can't blame yourself for something you had no control over" I felt Fang hug me near again and I returned the embrace knowing thathe would always be there to protect me no matter what.

Before I post, I would just like to apologize for my lack of activity in the past few days. I mainly attribute my inability to post due to the following reasons:

- Homework. School is a killer. Sometimes I stay up until midnight and still don't finish. It's usually a choice between??the RPG and finishing my homework, and you can obviously assume which one I need to do.????The teachers tend to load on the homework right before winter break.

- Holiday Program. Every year, my school hosts a concert sung by the students of each grade. We sing traditonal and modern holiday songs, and each practice and the performance is mandatory. This takes a lot of time out of my schedule as I find it very superflous that we even have such a program. Read: I HATE IT AND I DON'T GET HOME UNTIL LATE.

- High School pressure. In my city, if you want to get into a good high school, you have to test into one. For me and the majority of the other students in my grade, it takes a lot of time and effort to build up your skills for these tests and keep up with schoolwork at the same time. I seem to be falling victim to my poor time management skills when I study for these tests.

- My Health. As a result of school germs going around faster than rumors and my poor constitution, I've lost my voice and caught a terrible cough which in turn caused my sinuses to feel like they were imploding for the past three days. As you can probably guess, this made it very hard to concentrate in school and on what to do in the RPG. My brain still feels kind of fuzzy. x_O;;

So basically, I'm sorry I haven't been posting. Expect a post from Rin in a few minutes. I plan to delete this once everyone has seen it.
