Prologue
"Keep it steady Sapphire"
The young bender continued to steadily control the ball of water, hovering gently between her raise palms. The amount of water she was controlling was fetched from the Lake Laogai, put into a medium sized basin and carried to the small cabin miles away from their only source of water.
Her master smiled.
For such a young girl, age four to be precise, Sapphire was considered gifted. She had already mastered the basics of controlling water, pleasing both her parents and her waterbending master.
Now, Sapphire was easily playing around with the water, bending it into different shapes of all sorts: crowns, animals, letters spelling out her name… she grinned as she froze the water, turning it into ice in the shape of a bracelet with many charms attached to it. She put in on her wrist.
Her master took a seat at the small wooden table of the cabin.
"You've made unmeltable ice, young one." He said smiling down at is student. "An astonishing accomplishment for one so young, a true gift… I wouldn't be surprised if you started bending earth, fire and air."
