Arsonists

My Boss, Gormu, was eating breakfast when I woke up. I had a terrible headache, so I didn't even notice him for three minutes.

"Hey! Daanos!" he said in the cheerful manner that is usually his.

"Yeah boss?" I responded with the not-so-cheerful manner I usually didn't have.

"You don't look so good… what's wrong?" his tone changed from cheer to concern.

"Earth shattering headache, your hollering doesn't do anything for it."

"Hmm… why don't you take the day off, go to the clinic, relax, y'know, take your mind off work."

I managed a weak smile. "Thanks boss."

I headed to the clinic but the healers couldn't find anything. It was as if the headache I was feeling wasn't even in my head.

I was out and about listening to people's conversations which only made my headache worse. Then someone came and set fire to the clinic! I saw hundreds of people, every one of them hospitalized, running out of the clinic. I had no choice, I had to do something. Out of instinct I used Waterbending and doused the fire. After the arsonists saw me put out the fire, they came after me. Using Earthbending I set up a stalagmite cage around half of them and using Airbending Blew the rest into a nearby fruit stand knocking them unconscious.

I was freaking out. Everyone in town knew me, and they all knew I was anything but this cycle's Avatar. After looking at my hands I shouted what was probably on everyone else's mind.

"How did I do that!?"
