As I leaned against the wall, I noticed another firebender come into the room. 'Must be Stryder.' I walked over to where he was with my head down, not wanting to look at Pheonix. "What are you yelling about?!" I asked as I heard him explain that he remebered everything. My sunny dispostion back I frowned at him. 'Why did he have to interupt?!' As soon as I thought that, Stryder ran around the room, covered in blue flame. I turned to Phoenix, "What's going on with him? Is he alright?" I asked as my bad temper left at seeing another firebender in trouble. As I rushed for him, he blacked out. I dropped to my knees and checked to make sure he was okay. 'He still has a pulse, that's good.' I thought as I turned back to Pheonix, "He needs help."
 
"Stryder, hold on a second..." I managed to get up. I clumsily walked over to the waterbender. "Heal, now. Her too." I pointed to Viz. He agreed and he put his hand on my chest and called Viz over. He grabbed both her hands amd closed his eyes. I fainted. I woke up to see everyone standing over me, even Cher. I looked at Stryder. Gross I thought as an unexplained driplet of liquid hit my forehead. "Help me up already!" It was morning. "Everyone, breakfast is in bags in my room. Follow me Stryder..."
 
I tried to get back up. The waterbender healed me.. Gotta remember to thank him...
When I got up i just fell right back down again, only in a forward motion. It was actually quite funny, to everyone else at least.. Not to the person falling over. I finally got up and follwed Huang to wherever the hell he was going. "Huang. What in hell just happened to me? I was all the sudden covered in painful flame. Then it turned black. I really don't think that's a good sign. And what the hell happened to my father?!" I kept talking to him, voice trailing off to the others who were walking inside to grab a bite to eat.
 
"Well, you and your father have the same name... the village elder wasn't shunning you, he was shunning your father. Your dad left the village and stopped here. Of course, he was stupid enough to challenge the guards. His body was completely massacred." I opened a door. "His grave is right there." I pointed to a single gravestone. "The black fire is something you discovered. It drains your energy immensely but is extremely powerful..."
 
I shuddered. " It's all coming back to me now, the elder, our training. you giving me my scar on my leg"I said in a flat tone "The black fire too.. do you know how to control that? Or was that my own discovery?" I asked him. My head was killing me, he was right, the black fire really did drain all of my energy. I could barely move. "So.. what really happened to my memory? What really happened that day? thats the only thing I cant remember.. How i lost the memory"
 
"It is really confusing, your dad left that day... he's not the one who blocked your memory... I am." I expected to get the crap beat out of me but nothing came. "You were on a rampage. I had to protect the village. I am the one who blocked your memory. You discovered the black fire. We called it the Darkness. I can only do it with my pointer fingers." I showed him. "You and I were quite good at discovering things..."
 
"How did I know something like this was coming... So.. the darkness... is it controllable?
because if i can never controll it, i'm leaving.
"

EDITED. ))

Cher sighed as he finished explaining about his innocence. How he wasn't going to try anything. Even if he was, Cher was sure he was underestimating her. Just by some of the actions he took, she could tell Stryder found her attractive. That could be used to her advantage in certain situations. But, this wasn't one.

Cher looked down at the floor when he said he was alright with the death and sorrow part of her life. At this point, she wouldn't look at him until after her story was complete. Cher created a bed like Stryder's flame one, except with smooth earth and she lie down on it, staring up at the high ceiling. With a sigh, Cher began explaining.

"Okay, well, I was born the sixth of seven children. I was their only female child. My mother was the most beautiful maiden in all of the Earth Kingdom, at least according to Father. Father was a very hard working man, very powerful, although his rank was rather low while Mother's was high. So, I had five older brothers, and one baby brother, who all protected me and made me laugh, oh, life was great back then... Until the war began... It was first my Mother who was kidnapped, she was raped and killed, left in the middle of the forest to die... When Father found out, he slipped into depression, and the family was never the same again. But, when the war began heating up, all of my brothers and my Father went out into war, and in war they all passed. The Fire Nation had taken the lives of my family... So, I was forced to move in with my Aunt and Uncle, on my Mother's side... But, soon, the Fire Nation attacked there, too, while I was out collecting water. I found the town in ashes when I returned... From then on, I became a wanderer..." Cher said, looking over at Stryder and finding that he was beinginng to shout and shake all over the place.

"Stryder?" Cher asked with worry. "Styrder? STRYDER!" Cher shouting, beginning to shake in him attempt to wake him. He finally did, but looked extremely angery, causing Cher to stand up. "Are you oka-" Cher was cut off by Stryder pushing her aside, telling her he didn't want her harmed. He walked over to a nearby boulder and zapped it into small pebbles. But that wasn't the end of it.

Before Cher knew it, two members of this team were out cold, and the sudden rush of action had subsided. Cher sighed, knowing that she really should be getting some sleep, but she was too worried about both Stryder and Huang who had also fainted.

"I'm heading back Huang, this is getting depressing."
I started to walk back saying that, and as I was, I was thinking about what had just happened in the last half hour. Gods...I couldve taken everyone out... What am I? I'm going to spend every minute possible training the darkness... I can't go out of control again. To think, if I wasnt in my right mind when we were in the earthbending room, I couldve killed her I shuddered at the thought. Punching the ground, a circle of flame rose around me and slowly dissapated as I walked. I'm going to devote every waking minute of my life training and helping this group I had made up my mind. I wasn't leaving.

I walked back to the base, to find Cher waiting for me, apparently she was worried about me and Huang. I felt it comforting at least someone was worried.. And not laughing at me anymore. I sighed. "Yeah.. dont worry.. I'm fine.. so is Huang...Sorry i gave you a scare.." with that said he resumed his postion of staring at the ground.


OOC: Im getting off.. nobody ask me like.. immediate questions, i wont answer
 
Warning 2

Again, make all posts a minimum of a paragraph, and make sentences of substance. Because this is the second warning, I will inform you in which this warning applies to:

xXscytherXx, dreemxweever- Please make your posts longer. It's not hard. < <;
 
Cher watched as Huang and Stryder left to talk, leaving Cher to sit and wait. Stryder still hadn't given her a yes or no answer of her question from the night before: "Are you okay?" And now, she hadn't had any sleep at all. She felt groggy and sleepy, but still worried about Stryder. He had gained her trust already, a world record. Why? Because he cared enough to shove her aside and focus his energy on that boulder instead of herself. For that, he gained Cher's trust.

Footsteps caused Cher to lift her head, seeing Stryder enter, Cher jumped to her feet and walked over to him, although he had already begun talking. As he apologized, Cher smiled. "Hey," She said, cupping his chin gentally to make him look up at her, "I've seen a lot of things that are scary, Stryder, and you're not one of them... Besides, its not you're fault. You controlled it long enough to be able to push me aside without harming me with your contact, right? That certainly counts for something." Cher assured him, her smile bright.

Cher removed her hand from under his chin and glanced over towards the bell that Huang was ringing. Cher shot one more smile to Stryder before walking to go to the meeting.
 
Stryder walked away. I sat myself against the wall. I replayed everything that had happened that night. I was so tired but it didn't matter. Things like this had to be dealt with. I walked away and into the main meeting room. I rung the bell that was situated on the wall in there. Eventually everybody made it into that room. "Please, sit down. We have a lot to discuss." Everyone sat them selves onto a desk. "Ok, I will address you all individually and we will sort out your problems that have happened tonight." I looked at Viz first. "If you would like you can go down the hall there and change into one of the outfits I keep around here... I have thousands. And don't worry about the Agni Kai, it was amazing. Sorry about your hands." I looked towards the Waterbender. "Your skills came in handy tonight. I hope you respect me because I sure as hell respect you. Thank you for fixing almost everything tonight..." I looked at Cher. "Cher, Cher, Cher... You know you can trust me... The key I have given you opens every single door in this place. Just, I want you to know I respect you deeply. We are all humans... you and me both. It doesn't matter if you are an Earthbender or a Firebender or a Waterbender, it just matters how you portray yourself. Please, don't think of me as a Firebender, think of me as a human." I looked at Stryder. "Good god, man... You have had a rough night. I do have to tell you quite a few things about the darkness though... It isn't safe. If you use too much of it in a period of time it will begin to take over. It can't be used powerfly like you have done tonight and 10 years ago. Why do you think I made you forget you had it? Anyone is unsafe in that. I never use it, but I do know how to."

I turned around and started pacing. "I was thinking about a symbol for our group. Just a simple triangle. It represents three different edges coming together to form a shape. Just like we have done tonight. It's perfect. Three different kinds of benders forming together into an organization. Just think about it. We are one of the most powerful groups ever. But we need to come together and fully trust each other. Being a different bender gives you no right to think you know someone before you actually do know them. So I was thinking... Maybe we could go around in a circle telling everyone about our pasts and misfortunes because of this war." I sat down in my chair and put my feet on the table. "Anyone want to start?"
 
Cher took a seat at the large circle, watching all of the other seats slowly fill, leaving no gap in the perfect circle. Cher crossed her legs to look more casual and to become more comfortable. If this whole organization thing was to work, Cher would need to try hard to gain the trust of the other members, and then have them gain her trust. Respect was rather easy to gain. But, the other female may view her the wrong way, like a woman who's after all the guys. But, Cher hoped that's not the way the only other female member looked at her. Cher hoped she'd be able to bond with this girl and they'd support each other since it wasn't easy living with men, Cher knew that extremely well.

Huang caught her attention as he spoke her name thrice and told her to trust him. This caused Cher to cross her arms. He'd get this trust in due time, when he earned it like Stryder had. As he spoke of the symbol, Cher thought it was an alright idea. But, perhaps a circle should be better since Cher though circles usually meant peace, where all beings were one, perfect circle of harmony, like the circle they had formed with the seats.

But, now Huang was speaking of everyone spilling their guts about their pasts, and since no one was speaking, Cher sighed and spoke up, "I will," She declared quietly. "Perhaps now you'll understand why I don't take kindly to many Firebenders." Cher said, looking down at the floor, although it was directed at Huang and he knew it, too. (I'm just going to copy my explaination from my post before.)

"Okay, well, I was born the sixth of seven children. I was their only female child. My mother was the most beautiful maiden in all of the Earth Kingdom, at least according to Father. Father was a very hard working man, very powerful, although his rank was rather low while Mother's was high. So, I had five older brothers, and one baby brother, who all protected me and made me laugh, oh, life was great back then... Until the war began... It was first my Mother who was kidnapped, she was raped and killed, left in the middle of the forest to die... When Father found out, he slipped into depression, and the family was never the same again.

So, I was forced to move in with my Aunt and Uncle, on my Mother's side... But, soon, the Fire Nation attacked there, too, while I was out collecting water. I found the town in ashes when I returned... From then on, I became a wanderer..."
 
Everyone was at the meeting. The first one to tell about their history was an earthbender called Cher. She spilled everything of why she didn't trust or much like firebenders. When she stopped I nodded, 'Nobody much likes the fire nation!'

"I'll go next!" I said as I sat there surrounded by other benders with my arms folded and a frown on my face. "I love the fire nation! I just don't like the Fire Lord who made my life a liveing nightmare. I don't blame anybody else except for him becuase if it weren't for him, the other firebenders wouldn't be doing all of this." I said as my anger started to return as I remebered what happended. "I've seen what happens if others try to rebel, it's not pretty." I looked around at everyone, then stopped at Haung, then went on to look at the other girl Cher.
"My parents didn't believe what the Fire Lord was doing was right, so they tried to rebel. They actually acheeved a big group." I smiled a bit at this. "The Fire Lord went for my family first. He didn't burn my parents, no, he murdered them and left them to die in their own pool of blood that came from their open stomachs. He took me, knowing how good I was at firebending, and hoping that he could 'reprogram' me to think like all the other firebenders. He put me with a high up family. At first it seemed like it was going to be okay, but it didn't end up being that way. Their oldest kid noticed how good I was, and was jealous about it. He told his parents something about me trying to rebel against the Fire Lord, just like my parents, and they were even harder on me. They locked me up in dark rooms for days without food or water, and when I came out I was almost dead. I was put into hard soilder training for 9 hours a day." I took my choker off to show them the burn I'd recieved. "And this, I got at one of these sessions for accedently out doing a higher officer. I left once I got this invatation from Haung. THey don't know where I am right now." I set back in my chair my arms folded again. I would have cried, but my training taught me not too.
 
I sat back in my chair, taking it all in. I was still exhausted from my accident earlier, but at least now I could conentrate on what people were saying. I listened to Cher explain everything she told me, almost as if I was in a state of deja vu. After she had explained for a while, the other girl, Viz, stood up and volunteered to share her bit of history. I noticed she had agreed with Cher about nobody liking the Fire Nation. This I thought was odd, considering she was a Firebender.. Ahh well, she probably had a good reason to say it I thought to myself.
When Viz was done, I stood up and bowed my head for a split second, showing my gratitude for the girls before me, and volunteered myself to share everything I had leanred in the last 3 hours or so. "I had better do this now, the sooner the better, I guess." I had said to the group, and I walked to the front of the room we were all in. Then my story began...
" It all began about 24 years ago, when my mother died under the sentence to death from the villagers of my town. She had betrayed the village in numerous ways, stealing, lying, and hurting other members of the village. They had killed her, silently and quickly, a quick stab to the heart and she was out. My father had been aggressive for all time after my mother's death, knowing if he had treated her better she wouldn't have done those things. My father took this rage out on the town, vandalising and stealing just as my mother. Only, the village elder shunned him, no death sentence or anything. This was right after my first run in with the black fire we call Darkness. I had gone through a rampage in the town, destroying everything. Huang had cleared my memory afterwards, so it would never happen again. Then my father basicly destroyed what was left, and was shunned. I had heard that a Stryder Brannok was shunned from the village, and thought it was me. So i disapeared under the impression that my father had beaten me, through me in a river and caused me amnesia. All through the next 10 years, I trained and trained as hard as I could with my bending skills, trying my hardest to perfect them. And not much later I got an invitation to this group. So yeah.. with both my parents dead, no more living relatives. My father challenging earth guards and being bludgeoned to death, I've had a fun life. But the one thing that seperates me from a lot of you, is that I don't hate any specific bender in any way.. Im perfectly fine being on a team with all of you. We all just need to trust one another and become more of friends."

I had finished my story, and I sat back down in my chair, resting my head back, playing with a ball of fire in my palm. I couldn't think of why I was having this unnerved feeling, it was bugging the hell out of me. I had a feeling something really weird or bad was going to happen soon, whichever came first...
 
"So we all have a norm... Firbenders ruined our lives." I took a deep breath. "I was born in the Fire Nation city of New Sozin. My dad was high up in politics. If 5 people were to die, I would have been the next Fire Lord. Of course, I didn't like the attention. I hated it actually. It's amazing how much my dad's position in power changed my life. I know a lot of things I shouldn't... I used to look at the documents he was writing in the middle of the night. They were horrible... they showed an organized list of every soldier killed in battle from all four nations. My dad would always try to teach me politics... It made me sick. When I was about fourteen I decided to run away. I had to put a special herb in my dad's drink to make him sleep. After he was out I left."

I pointed at the hat that laid in the corner of the room. "That's the only thing that has been with me through my many years of travel. I was a loner after leaving my dad. When I was fifteen I found a comfortable place in a nearby Fire Nation village. There, I met Stryder. I stayed with him for a year becoming about three times more powerful than I was. I left after the incident. My travels brought me to all of the nations, where I met all of you. You probably don't remember me but, apparently, I remember you. My main home in that decade was this exact place we are in. It has sheltered me from the horrors of war. Of course, my father is still looking for me. I'm a wanted man..."

I then noticed something was very wrong. "Where is Tenkaichi?" I asked everyone. Nobody answered. "Please, excuse me..." I ran towards his room. I opened the door. There I saw one of the most horrific sites ever. There, laied Tenkaichi's mangled body with his killer standing over him. He was killed with his own blade. The person who killed him was one of the most familiar faces I had ever known. The killer lifted his palm and gently formed a gentle blaze. It expanded within a millisecond and was launched towards me. I watched as the fire engulfed my entire left side. I hit the ground. The pain was horrible but it was beginning to numb out. I looked at my left side to just see smoldering ash. I looked up to see my killer step over me and run away.

I was beginning to blacken out. I was in a state of half-conciousness and reality. I looked up to see Stryder. "Library... Book #1267... Page 112... You'll know what I mean when you read it... Stryder... My father did this to me..." His face disappeared into the surrounding darkness that was taking hold of me. The pain disappeared. I gave one last breath and gave into it. I was gone...

I slammed onto a muddy path. "Where am I?" I actually said aloud. I looked around but the tree canopy obove me blocked most of the sunlight. I lifted my hand to bend but nothing came out. I looked around for anybody. All I could see was a baboon like thing. It started talking to me. "Welcome to the Realm of Koe. This is one of the spirit world's many realms." The shock had hit me. "The spirit world?!"
 
That creeping sensation just kept sinking in, deeper and deeper as the other two girls and I waited for Huang to come back along with the apparently deaf earthbender. I was figiting in my chair, wondering why it was taking so long. Something was wrong, it just hit me.. I felt something had happened. I got up and said to the girls "Hang on, I'll be right back... I'm going to go check on Huang...Stay here..." I left the room, wondering down the same hall that Huang entered to find tenkaichi. There was a door that was slightly ajar, spots of blood leading away from the door. That's not good... I opened the door, only to find great horror staring me right in the face. Tenkaichi had been mutilated, rather primativly I might add, with his own blades. As well as Huang, who was missing the entire left side of his body. He looked up at me, "Stryder..Book 1267...Page 112.. You'll know what I'm talking about." He said that with his last words, took a breath and gave into the pain silently. I knelt down beside him in silence, covering his face with a red veil I pulled from my pocket. "I will avenge you.. old friend..." I said aloud.
Immediatly I went back to the commons room, the girls were still there, ating anxiously to hear what I had to say. " No time to explain, come with me. Now" Not waiting for their reaction, I turned and walked to an opposite hallway of which I had walked down earlier. I came to a door with a book carved out of wood hanging upon it. The library. That book he was talking about, It must be in here. I thought to myself. I went in, looking around aghast at the amazing amount of books that were stored in such a small room. They were all sorted by numbers, from 1 to 3000. Gods... I went to the section where the book Huang spoke of should have been listed under. "1265...1266...12...67! This is it!" I shouted aloud. I flipped through the pages and eventually I got to page 112. I glanced at the page and my mouth fell open when I processed the contents of the chapter.
"The Spirit World?!?"
 
Seath headed to the library after 20 minutes of trying to heal Huang. "My waterbending abilites could only do so much" Seath though as he walked down the narrow passageways. Although Seath healed Huang's phsyical wounds he was a little bit too late."There is only one way I know of that could work" Seath thought," and its all the was back in the North pole". As soon as he opened the door, he heard too words that he had only heard in tales. "the spirit world" Seath thought "but I though that was fake". After suffling around a bit, he took a seath and decided to listen in on what infomation the book had to offer. He was exausted almost to the point were he would fall asleep but he knew that something important was in that chapter and he had to find out what.

Cher listened to what everyone had to say, and none of their pasts seemed easy, none of them at one point said, "I love life," but everyone had to have pain at one point in time. But, Cher lifted her head and watched as Huang left their precence to go check on someone. Soon after, Stryder left and Cher was left with the only other female. Cher saighed, wondering what was going on.

Cher got this strong, strange gut feeling and suddenly stood. Just then, Stryder appeared, seeming flustered and told them to follow him. Cher glanced around before doing so. Wondering where they were off to, a familiar smell sharply hit her nose. As they continued, they passed something that made Cher stop dead in her tracks. Huang was no longer with them, only one half was still there, the rest of his body lie in a huge pool of blood.

The blood drained from Cher's face, becoming pale. This was extremely serious. Not only had Huang passed, so had Tenkaichi. Cher's throat tightened and her stomach churned, suddenly not being able to breath. Her knees felt weak, like they were going to buckle under her weight. Cher closed her eyes and began shaking her head. She had finally found people to care about, people who might actually begin to care about her, and now they were disappearing, one by one. How was Stryder going to control Darkness without the help of a Firebender who actually could control the Darkness?

Tears filled the sensitive female's eyes and Cher took off down the hall, away from the scene, the sharp smell of blood no longer filling her nose. Cher soon stopped, gasping for air, she fell to her knees, shaking her head slowly, three tears falling onto the wood floor.
 
I was left with the other girl, Cher as Styder went after Haung who had left. I wanted to go see what was happening, but decided to stay.

As Stryder came in, I could tell something was wrong. I followed him and Cher as we walked and saw Haung, one side missing from his entire body. I'd never seen anything like it. I saw Cher, her face turning deathly pale. I covered my mouth as I was starting to feel a little nausious. 'I wasn't trained for this.' "What happended to them Stryder, and why are you reading about the Spirit World?"

I saw Cher run down the hall. 'Probably couldn't handle it.' I debated with myself on wether or not to go after her, or stay with Stryder. I ran down the hall and saw Cher on her knees, crying. 'This isn't like me at all, but she needs help and I need to try and be nice.' I knelt down next to her. "Hey, it's going to be okay. Stryder must know something, he'll get us through this." I said as I tired to comfort her. "We've got to be strong if we want to get through this. Are you going to be okay?" This was really hard for me to be nice, I'd never really recieved kindness, so never gave it.
