Kasumi's Mom brought him to the water with a waterfall. It was so calming with a breeze and the warm water. His mom told him she came here to think when his dad was at work and he was at school. It was a great place to think and be alone for awhile when you didn't want to be around the people of the earth kingdom.
"Okay Kasusu let's begin."
She led him over to the shore of the water.
"Kasumi, water benders are very calm and serene. They are a gentle people. Their bending is more defensive than offense. We have additional powers like healing."
"Healing! How do you heal?"
Kasumi realized he was going to learn more than he thought. An excited face showed on Kasumi's face as he followed him mom into the water to his waist.
"Kasumi, a long time ago I didn't know water benders could heal until I actually healed myself without knowing it. A fire master told me that the water benders are a blessed nation. He said that fire benders do nothing but cause destruction."
He looked at his mom and she seemed like she was in another state, another time. She jumped into the water. She came back up with a rock.
"Kasusu I'm going to show you actual healing."
Kasumi couldn't hide his excitement. His mom dug the rick into the palm of her hand and he gasped.
"Mom!"
"It's okay Kasusu, just watch."
She put her hands in the water palm up in front of Kasumi and it started to heal. Kasumi watched in awe as her hands healed.
"There. Do you want me to do you?"
"I'm not as tough as you mom, I don't really want to cut myself."
"No silly I wouldn't hurt you," she put her hands on her hips. "I was going to heal that cut on your hand you got when your dad tried to teach you the air ball over our house the other day."
She reached for Kasumi's hand and searched both hands, front and back.
"That's odd. It's not there." She dropped his hands.
"Well if you ever get a cut, come to me and I'll show you on yourself."
Kasumi started to get nervous. She might find out if he continued this with his mom. He healed his cut and he didn't even know it, exactly what his mom did when she was younger. At least she wasn't hiding her water bending from anybody, especially a master.
"Okay mom."
We got out of the water and stayed on the shore.
"Well let's go over the source of water bending. Our power comes from the moon. Were like the moon controlling the tides. We move the water," She took a stance and swayed her wrists back and forth. The water started shifting back and forth. This is about where I get up to and then I can't do anything else. It becomes too frustrating.
She continued moving the water, but swayed more of it, "water benders, Kasusu, try to redirect their opponents energy against them. We simply try to control them, not hurt them. Water bending is not only having control over the liquid part, but the gas and the solid phase. She bended some water in the air and in front of Kasumi and bended it into ice.
"Cool, can you show me how you did that?"
"Sure, come here. You lift the water up like this." She did hand motions and he imitated them, carefully. He didn't want to accidentally water bend himself. She lifted up a ball of water while Kasumi watched and did hand motions behind his back.
"And you just basically, pack the water in on itself and make it solid." She moved her hands in different motions and it turned into a solid. Kasumi let his hands fall and he felt a splash at his back.
His mom was so concentrated on making water into different shapes that she didn't notice. He blew out a sigh of relief, that was too close.
Kasumi's Mom looked up at the sky, "Kasumi, it's getting late and I'm not sure when your father's coming home so we better get going."
His dad always loved it when his mom was home and there was a nice meal on the table. Dad is always a little cranky when he doesn't get his food. And Kasumi always loved it when his dad comes in the door and kisses his mom and sweeps her off her feet. That always put a smile on his face.
"Okay mom and thanks for teaching me some water bending techniques."
"Anytime you want just tell me Kasusu."
They made their way to their home and Kasumi's secret was still safe.
This chapter was kind of hard..sorry I didn't make it longer and I made you guys wait so long!
