Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jonah then had to save himself from breaking his bones. As he concentrated on the ground he was rapidly approaching, he bent the earth into a bowl of sand, the same cushion he made for Fulgar. He let himself fall into it shoulder first, making a semi-muffled 'thump' on the ground.

"Control before fun I guess..."

Jonah heaved himself up, sitting on top of the sand to relax himself a bit. He then looked up to see how Fulgar fared, wondering if his landing was as cushioned as Jonah's was. Hopefully he would learn control before he tried experimental fire techniques again, but that was out of Jonah's control since he wasn't a firebender. Jonah knew how to earthbend only so much, so he could only keep Fulgar out of danger as long as his endurance and skill would allow.

Fulgar was cushioned on a bed of sand thanks to Jonah, he layed on it on his back his hands layed atop his stomach, he was breathing heavily. Jonah had just risked a free dive from nearly 100 feet in the air to help Fulgar out, and that was cool in his book. He sat there with his eyes closed. He looked up to see if Jonah had time to cushion himself. When he looked up he saw Jonah looking at him from a similar bed of sand and Fulgar laughed hard, "hey, thanks for that" he said.

He stood up in his bowl of sand and dusted off. Fulgar walked over to Jonah and lent him a hand. "Really, thanks alot, that was one of my dumber ideas."

(I started writing this after I wrote the above post then realized I already posted so I guess this is a continuation.)

Fulgar’s feet were just about down to the edge his arms were swinging wildy at his sides trying to keep his balance. His right foot finally slid off the edge his descent was a slow and painful one. His eyes filled with fear, in mere seconds he would be flat on the concrete. He thought if he timed it right he could land safely by using his jets, but he didn’t want to take the chance of timing it wrong and everything goes wrong anyway. Dropping in elevation faster than he would like he began to twist his body trying to get it so that when he did hit the pavement it he would at least be on his feet when he died. His coat flung to every direction as he fell through the air. Then he heard something, above him, he looked up to see Jonah take a free dive off the ledge coming after him, with some quick earthbending Jonah created a bowl of sand for Fulgar to land in, then quickly creating one for himself. Fulgar hit the sand with a ‘thud’ sound the sand cushioned his so gently. He was surely glad that Jonah had come after him or he’d be dead meat. He lay on the bed of sand breathing in and out. He hoisted himself up and looked over where Jonah was, he was standing there waiting for him to get up and say that he was ok. Fulgar had never really realized the extent of Jonah’s abilities; he knew Jonah was a master at his trade but never really contemplated how powerful he really was.


“Hey, man, thanks for that.” Fulgar said motioning skyward toward the place he had fallen from. “I got to close to the inside of the ledge. It was a mistake… not my bending.” Once Fulgar had stated that he heard a dude yelling from below him asking if Jonah could teach him earthbending. After listening to the man Fulgar looked up to his teacher and said “I’m ready to try the solid flame again.”

Rave stepped up next, placing his right foot next to his left. He moved his right hand forward and under his left hand, into a left hold ball position. Once again, his stream of water became an orb, suspended once again in the center of his body. Though the children couldn't see it, Rave was actually making the orb colder and colder. This would train his palms, making them a bit more resistance to holding onto colder things.

Rave then stepped out his right foot to the right. He shifted his weight onto his right leg and straightened his left into a bow stance. At the same time, Rave dropped his left hand to waist height and rose his right arm in a curve, until his palm was at chest height. The orb became a stream once again and followed his right hand now, though Rave bent it to be wider, as if it was a shield, shielding him from an imaginary attack from below.

With the same speed Rave threw out those icicle's, he motioned them to come back at him, though now turning back into water. He did this by opening his arms to shoulder length, taking his weight back to his left foot, and raising his right foot onto its heel. This was when the icicles spread out in a wider row. He pulled his hands back and then down to his waist in an arc, his palms facing away from him. This was the motion that made the icicles to come back towards Rave.

Rave then transferred his weight forward again and pushed forward with his hands. The water was then turned to steam as Rave used it as a kind of smokescreen. There was a lot of steam due to how much Rave gathered the first time. It was going everywhere and even rising into the air. However, Rave was about to bring it back.

The children that were watching, meanwhile, covered their eyes as the steam came at them. Now usually steam was hot and humid, but this steam, it was the opposite. It was cool and kinda of refreshing. It was like a mist, more like it. However, there was so much of it that they could not see Rave, nor their other friends.

From that position, Rave transferred his weight onto his right foot and turned his left palm downwards. His turned his waist and left foot around to face the front. He brought his weight back onto his left foot while flattening his right hand. This turned the water back into a stream and its base is back to the left hand.

Rave suppressed the water back into an orb by moving his right hand back over his left. Making his ring finger and pinky finger touch his thumb, the other two threw out three small icicles swiftly. As the icicles flew through the air, the two fingers that were still extended threw out three water whips to knock the icicles out of the air. When the whips made contact with the icicles, the icicles were cut in half and fell to the ground.

The children that had gone away came back and watched Rave do his recent move. They were in awe and sat down next to their friends and watched again.

Rave turned his waist to the left while his right arm swung and came in front of his face. As Rave turned back, his dropped his right arm down in an arc. He moved his left dagger over the top, until it came to rest at his elbow. Meanwhile, his brought his left foot back close to his right. He stepped out straight ahead with his left foot, afterwards.

As he transferred his weight forward, he moved his left dagger down and round until it came to rest by his left knee. At the same time, he brought his right hand towards his head and then thrust his dagger out directly out in front of him.
