Welcome to Gaia! ::

[[And I thought my dad and his wife argued alot.]]

Ryuk quickly ran at Xaio, using his Firebending to try to temporarily blind Xaio, which didn't work. It was then that he threw an uppercut, which missed, leaving Ryuk an open spot to attack. He thrusted his hands forward in flat palmed claws, aimed for his chest, before Xaio cried out to stop, forming a thin spike of earth from his palm. Ryuk threw his foot down, quickly stopping, the spike resting a few inches from the back of his neck. He turned around, looking at it, not understanding the position he was in. He brought one of his hands up, poked the tip, then flicked it breaking the sharp tip off. He then looked up, a bit confused.
"So what, you give up?" He asked, still not knowing they had tied.
Ryuk was tired, but these fights had helped build up his stamina, and he had used a lot less energy Bending than Xaio had. So Ryuk could probably go a few more minutes without starting to get exhausted. He looked at Xaio, who seemed close to his end, closer than Ryuk was to his. So he could guess he was giving up, but he might have just done that to save from skewering his head, either way, Ryuk still had the upper hand, and intended on winning. he jumped back, landing a few feet away, looking at Xaio through his goggles, his hands loosely hung from his pocket.
"Or do you want to keep going?" He asked, trying to keep any sound of exhaustion from his voice, putting that cocky smirk of his up.
He couldn't do it. He let out a long yawn, stretching his hands into the air. he let out a sigh and walked off towards the camp.
"Well I'm going to sleep. We'll call it a tie." He said.
He sat down next to his Mongoose Dragon, and leaned hsi head against its side, closing his eyes. Soon, he drifted off into sleep.

Tsuzuki smiled, her spirit at peace with where it was, as she said, "It's remote. I just want to be away from everything familiar right now and just be able to do my own thing. I've been here before and it's so far from most civilizations, you have to rely completely on what you know."

As they walked through the forests completely alone, she looked for a clear spot and listened. After an hour's worth of walking, she heard it: water. She pushed her way through the brush and found a river. "We'll camp here for now. The water's fresh and, along with giving us something to drink, it'll also be easy to find food because certain berries grow specifically right next to the water and animals around here need something to drink."

The Airbender felt like he had been running for days, but he couldn't stop, not with the Fire Benders still chasing him. If they found him again they'd get the scroll, and if they gained the scroll then they'd be one step closer to-Jing couldn't even bring himself to think about it. Branches tore away at his uncovered flesh, digging ever deeper into the burns across his chest, and filling his body with a pain so bad that he finally collapsed at the top of a hill.

With the fluidness of a lead weight Jing fell to his knees, then to his chest, then to his head, and then back to his knees again. Barley alive he toppled down the hill, unable to stop he was forced to wait for something big enough to get in his way and bring him to a halt. Luckily that came soon enough; Jing spiraled off a rock over a bush and into Tsuzuki.

In between coughing up water, and drug induced bouts of gibberish Jing attempted to explain his condition to the rather angry looking young girl. Unfortunately all that came out was, "Bire Ation Terr-ists...want.....Aang Scroll."

With great difficulty he managed to pull himself out of the river and onto the bank. once he was back on dry land he immediately collapsed and began to twitch haphazardly on the ground.

Kazuki turned his head he had a smile on his face but then saw Tsuzuki in the water with some guy. Kazuki droped the fruit and then held his arms into the air and the water around the air bender shot into the air forming a cage which then froze instantly. Kazuki leaped out of the tree and infront of Tsuzuki and got into a fighting stance.

"What do you want?" He angerly asked as he pulled Tsuzuki behind him. "Stay behind me Tsuzuki I will protect you. That cage wont hold him long but it will give me time to find his weak points." he wispered.

Jing tried to answer, but all that came out was a steaming pile of regurgitated cactus juice. The airbender stared at if for a few moments, then muttered "So that's what they had me on," before puking for a second time.

With the drugs expelled from his system Jing was finally able to think clearly again. "The son's of Ibiki are looking for a series of four scrolls. They're a group of Fire Nation terrorists." He pulled a large scroll out of the remains of his pants "Before the turnament I retreived one of the scrolls from the Eastern Air Temple" He motioned to the many burn scars that covered his chest, "as you can see, they wanted it."
