"Uncle do know what this means!" I shouted, Uncle comes to the deck every morning to drink nearly a whole pot of tea and have meaningless conversations about making tea. He had to be on the deck.
"That I won't get to finish my game" he said sarcastically.
"Forget I ever said anything." I said turning toward his voice.
I heard him sigh and huff as he got up from where he had been sitting, his heavy footsteps coming over to me.
"Zuko I don't want do you to get your hopes up over nothing." He said.
"I know it's the avatar it has to be!" I said, walking away.

I had already told the helmsmen to set a course for the light and had time to burn. It's not like I wanted to play pai sho with Uncle. We tried to play but it is virtual impossible when I can't tell which tile I'm moving. So l decided to just train. Besides, I needed to work on my advanced set.
Uncle and I never trained for more than two hours a day. Why? Because he is the laziest man I have ever met! He is always eating roast duck, drinking tea and constantly saying ancient proverbs that no one can understand!
We always train in the back of the ship near the engines. It's really hot back there but I don't mind.
"We are going to brush up on the basics again." Uncle said.
"What you have to be kidding me! What am I ten?" I shout.
"You mustn't forget your basics!" Uncle tells me. I've heard that before old man. I relent and quickly run through the basic set, a punch here, kick there and a few stances that require jumping in the air to attack you opponent.
"Okay I'm done teach me the next set!" I said eagerly.
"Run it again!" Uncle said.
"Teach me the next set I'm more than ready!" I yelled.
"You are impatient and ready for nothing!" Uncle said.
"Uncle…the fire sages tell us the avatar is the last airbender. He has had over a century to master the other elements. YOU WILL TEACH ME!" I yelled.
"Okay" Uncle said. Uncle got into stance one, with as much pride as I could muster I kneelt down and ran my hand over him. His feet were shoulder length apart and his hands were in tight fists close to his chest.
"Then kick in a flaming arc." Uncle said.
"Okay" I said, getting up and got in stance.
"Widen you stance." Uncle said. I adjusted my stance, shifting my feet farther apart.
"You doing it wrong nephew." Uncle said. Two strong hands gripped my wrists firmly and moved them into position.
"Thank…you uncle" I said.
Sorry I know is chapter is lame! But I was just so tried and I felt like I needed to write another chapter. Don't worry chapter three is coming soon. I will try to write more!
