Playing Waterbending (Avatar: Last Aibender SI)-Chapter 76

While waiting for my scheme to cook, I was flying on my cloud, heading toward the North Pole. The farther north I went, the colder the weather became. And I must say, I was quite happy about it. You see, despite my body being tanned—quite suited for hot weather—I was very heat-sensitive and loved the cold much more.

"So, are we just going to land and say, 'Hi, I need a wife for my brother-in-law'?" Sokka, who was sitting next to me, asked curiously.

I almost lost my focus and nearly dispersed the cloud. I replied, "You just find a girl that likes you and that you like, and that's it."

He narrowed his eyebrows. "That's it?"

"She'll be your moon," I said. "I promise."

Then I paused in the air for a moment, turned my head slowly to him, and smiled widely, realizing something.

"What?" Sokka cocked his head.

"You just called me brother-in-law," I said, feeling so happy and accomplished.

Sokka's face grimaced... Yeah, your sister is mine, and you're admitting it.

"That's not—" he tried to justify, but I didn't let him finish.

"Katara, you heard him!" I shouted.

"Heard him very clearly," Katara laughed at Sokka's reaction, who put his hand on his forehead and looked at the sky.

Toph was just still lying on the ground, looking at the sky.

By this time, she could see well, and her brain had adapted to both visual inputs from vibrations and light.

She had even confessed that she could see people in a full 360-degree view.

Her brain could even fill in the blanks and tell her the colors of things behind her.

It was quite impressive.

I wondered what kind of vision that was. Panorama? Omniscient, or something else?

"So..." Sokka said in a disappointed tone. "You were never planning to find me a wife?"

"Don't worry, Sokka. You're a natural playboy," I said. "You just have my protection. You can even go after the princess, and I'll support you."

"So, you're telling me to offend everyone and hide behind your back? No thanks," Sokka crossed his arms and turned his head.

"Oh... Look. There's a wall," Toph sat up and pointed in front of her. "It's quite tiny."

"No, it's just too far," I pointed out.

"Yeah." She stood up, hugging her arms and started shaking. "By any chance, do you have spare clothing?"

She wasn't very well adapted to the cold.

I reached for my coat, which I had forgotten to take down, and handed it to her.

"Thanks. What about you?" Toph asked in concern.

"It doesn't bother me," I smiled.

"Me neither," Katara added.

"Well, I prefer warmth, but I'm used to this," Sokka shook his head. As the second food supplier at the South Pole, handling the cold weather was nothing.

Soon, we approached a large ice wall. On it stood guards dressed in white, their faces and heads covered. Most of them held spears with blue, curved tips. I controlled the cloud and tried to descend, but then water balls rose from the ocean and attacked my cloud at high speed. The water was quite high-pressured and could damage steel. If it hit a person, it could break their bones.

Katara panicked and waterbent the water attacks away.

"They're attacking us!" she said.

Sokka held his boomerang and threw it down. His force was quite impressive, as he covered his arm with Chi, giving him a power boost. The boomerang hit one of the waterbenders, taking them down.

Seeing how easily the bender fell, I realized that May, from the Fire Nation, was quite scary. She was like a ninja, throwing needles with high precision. And you know, guys, you may survive a rock hitting you, or a fire stream, or water stream, but a thick metal needle? You'd have a much lower chance.

"Hold! They are waterbenders!" a voice echoed. "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

I descended from my cloud and jumped off it, controlling it and myself to fly through the air.

Everyone looked up, as if they were shocked.

I continued falling as slowly as possible.

I scoffed.

"Is this your policy? Attack first and ask questions later?" I scolded.

To be honest, that might be my policy as well. In times of war, you'd rather lose an ally than let an enemy in, especially when the chance of being invaded by the enemy is 99%.

"Oh my!"

"He's Ryuk!"

Everyone surrounded me, seeming to already know who I was.

The hostile atmosphere disappeared. I was as confused as everyone else. They slowly dropped their weapons, and my team slowly dropped their hostile expressions.

"You know me?" I asked.

The one who seemed to be the leader of the guards approached. He was a bulky man about my height.

He said, "After the stunt you pulled on Commander Zhao, everyone knows about you. You're the talk of the world now. You even made his son call you 'Daddy'..."

After his words, laughter echoed.

As for his wife, he didn't mention her yet. It could also mean that she had just filled Zhao's head with lies. After all, no one would want all their dirty laundry aired in public.

'Interesting. She may want to direct her husband to me, yet keep some image to herself,' I thought.

"At first, I thought it was just a funny story. A waterbender flying on a cloud, defeating more than 300 men on his own, and leaving. That was quite absurd, right?" he added.

I waved my hand. "Of course it is. If not for the full moon, I wouldn't have been able to do that. Thanks to the spirits of the moon and ocean, it was easy to pull off."

A man from the crowd interjected. "Can you really control people?"

Everyone looked at me, seemingly expecting an answer.

"Okay, guys. I'm a guest who traveled from the other side of the pole. Is this how you show your hospitality to your cousins?" I replied.
