I just decided to try this, comments welcome, flamers will be shot on sight *brandishes bow* sort of inspired by the song Unbreakable by Hedley and a Korra fanvid I saw.
I own nothing but my OCs and the plot I added in.
enjoy
Unbreakable.
Ch 1- peaceful
"I'm beat but I can't be broken
Knocked down
But you gave me hope
And I can see it now
Just gotta dig it out"
The sun was splitting the sky, bathing the land in it's calming, golden light; a cooling breeze swept through the valley like the gentle breath of a sleeping giant, stroking the many fields and singing through the trees letting nature create it's music; our town was quiet as the inhabitants enjoyed the peaceful bliss of the days before summer arrived to scorch the earth and the people below it's cloudless skies.
My refuge sung in the wind, the grass of my hill stroking my bare arms and feet, my tree showering the valley with it's last blossom petals, blessing the air with it's sweet spring perfume for the last time this year. My head rested against my animal guide's flank as my loyal adolescent armadillo lioness slept in the mild heat of the day, soothing me with her even breathing, familiar scent and rough fur.
My hand glided across my pad as I replicated my home on paper, my brush flying across it's surface, tinting the page with colour, perminately recreating my view. I gazed fondly out over our land, relishing in it's beauty, cementing my adoration towards my life in the earth kingdom. My brush finished it's last stroke as my piece was finished making me smile at my achievement. I carefully sighed my name. "Kai Lin".
With one last swipe of my brush I finished my signature and carefully set it on my companion's saddle, arousing her from her slumber. The lioness yawned widely, making her huge teeth shine in the sunlight as she turned to me; her intelligent amber eyes sparkling in the light.
I grinned at the beast, stroking her "mohawk", making her purr. "Hey Lady, sleep well?"
The lioness yawned once again in answer, pressing her armoured head against my shoulder. I scratched at her torn, scarred ears making her purr tenfold as I rose to my feet, lifting my now dry painting from my guide's back and patting Lady's strong armoured shoulder, signalling her to rise to her powerful paws.
I earthbended myself up and settled myself into her saddle, curling my fingers into her course fur; savouring the feeling against my non-bandaged left hand. "Right girl, let's beat our record." I got a raspy chirp from my beast as she tensed for action. "Ready... Set..." I paused enjoying the enthusiastic energy radiating from my friend as she dug her claws into the soil and leaned forward in anticipation. "GO!" Lady lurched forward, springing across the countryside, claws churning the dirt underfoot as she sprinted.
I leaned forward in the saddle relishing in the feeling of the wind in my face, throwing my short sandy locks behind me, making the untied ends of my green head-band flutter with my hair, dancing in the wind. My burgundy silk trousers and dark green sleeveless shirt bellowed around me as she ran, cooling my skin and behind me I could see my lucky green cloth flying wildly like a flag attached to my hip by my studded black belt. I whooped in ecstasy at our speed as we drew closer to town, my home and the place that still was wary of my large companion; a loud warning bell sounded in the town, informing everyone of our return. I smirked to myself as the people scattered from the streets running from a potentially dangerous situation. "Sorry, coming through!" I gave our usual call we continued our mad sprint down the main street towards our first stop on the way home "The dancing dragon art shop and gallery."
We skidded to a stop in front of the familiar store, greeted by the kindly owner Sun Wong. I jumped off of Lady's back and bowed respectively to the gentle elder woman who bowed to me in turn. She gave a kind smile as she waved me inside, her traditional earthkingdom robes swishing through the air as she turned, I smiled and patted Lady's neck telling her to rest as I followed Sun. I sighed happily as I entered the room glad to be out of the sun as the cool shade welcomed me, then it was straight to business. "What have you brought me today hmm?"
I grinned at the elder woman and revealed my painting. "Unfortunately I have ran out of canvas' but I did have this high quality paper to make this piece on."
The elderly woman carefully picked up my painting, examining the detail, her cautious brown eyes taking in my work. "Well your work does not disappoint but I cannot pay you more than ten silver pieces for this piece."
I scowled. "Well Sun I believe it is worth at least fifty but I'll settle for no less than forty."
The woman raised her eyebrows but took the hint. "Fifteen."
I shook my head. "Thirty five."
She scowled. "Twenty."
I crossed my arms stubbornly. "Thirty silver pieces Sun or no deal."
The woman gave me an annoyed glare. "Twenty five is my last offer Kai."
"And thirty is mine, my friend or perhaps we could meet half way between at twenty seven." I gave a sly smile to my elder as she thought. "Twenty seven silver pieces Sun and I go away happy and you get my work and get to keep the majority of your gold, we both go away happy." I could see the fight in her eyes as she tried to decide. "I'll also throw in the services of myself and Lady."
Her eyes widened in fear at the prospect as she shook her head wildly. "Oh no dear that's fine and twenty seven it is."
I smiled and collected my fee. Before bowing again and returning to my guide. "Good day Mrs Wong."
The woman bowed smiling. "Good day Miss Lin I look forward to your business again."
I gave a kind grin and nodded, earthbending myself up to Lady's saddle before taking off towards home. On our way we collected food for my family as well as a chuck of beef for Lady. I smiled as we arrived at our farm as the evening sky became a blaze with the reds and golds of sunset. Our farm looked picturesque against the sunset, our land painted warmly by the sky, the valley's lake flanking it and sparkling in the last light of the day.
I smiled at my family's home, taking comfort in it's serenity. I jumped down from my place on Lady's back and stroked her neck. "Come on girl, home time." Lady gaved a purr in response as we walked down the small hill to the farm, enjoying the peace of the evening in the cool air under the watchful stars.
Our valley was a safe as always. Or so I thought...
