Back at the other side of the planet.
"Well let's begin the tour, shall we?" Jarn said to Jinora.
"Before we go I need some information about where I am in the world." Jinora said.
Jarn said: "certainly, we are at the united kingdoms city, a city where all the benders and non-benders from around this side of the planet stand united."
"The other side of the planet? I thought the world is limited to the North and South Pole." Jinora asked in confusion.
"Well you people were probably too lazy to search beyond, and we didn't like to interact with you, not until now that is." Jarn replied "anyway our continent is like yours in shape, each part of the land is ruled by a different kind of benders as you can see in this map" and then he proceeded to take a map out of his pocket "the northern and southern lands are ruled by icebenders."
"Figured." Jinora said.
Jarn continued: "the volcano on the east is ruled by smokebender, the islands around the center land are ruled by bloodbenders, and it is also called 'the land of medics'."
Jinora asked: "why is that?" he replied: "bloodbenders are the best medics in the world for they use their abilities to cure their patients, and this healing technics uses physical principles, which I hardly understand which make it more effective."
"As for the center land it is ruled by the shadowbenders, our lovely homeland." Jarn continued.
"Where are we at this map?" Jinora asked.
Jarn pointed at the north-east part of the center land and said: "right here."
Then he asked: "now shall we start the tour?"
"Yes." Jinora replied.
Meanwhile at republic city.
Tenzin and Korra start packing up, while Ikki and Mello are watching.
"Are you going in a trip daddy?" Ikki asked.
"Yes Ikki, we will be going to bring back your sister." Tenzin replied.
"Can we come with you?" Mello asked.
"No you can't, I don't want to lose you in this wild adventure." Tenzin replied.
And then they said: "But dad we want to-"
"You are not coming with me, and that's final." Tenzin replied in anger.
"You know you shouldn't be harsh on them." Korra said.
"I know, it's just that i am under the idea of playing that Arvak's little game to get my daughter back, can we even trust him?" Tenzin replied in a sad voice.
Korra said: "I don't know, but it is the only way to get Jinora back, and we have to play with it."
"Fine, go check on your friends and see if they are done." Tenzin said.
Back to Jarn and Jinora.
"Well let's go to the smoke playground first." Jarn said while they were walking to a place with many thick wooden polls.
"Jinora this is the place where we smokebenders play our game, smoke bomb." Jarn said.
There were a group of kids about the same age as Jarn, they came running to him, one of them said: "hey Jarn where have you been this whole week?"
Jarn replied: "I was at the final stage of my physical training, so me and my brother decided to lock me up to finish up fast."
Another kid spoke: "who is this girl beside you?"
"This is Jinora, she is our guest, she came from the other side of the planet where they are able to bend air." Jarn replied.
A girl from the group said: "that makes her a great danger; air is the one thing that beats smoke."
Jarn said: "oh come on we lived peacefully with the other nations, we can live with our opposite, anyway let's go play a smoke bomb match."
The kids stood at each poll while a ball was in the middle, Jinora thought: "this looks more like airball from home."
And the match began, Jarn turned his arm into smoke and used it to catch the ball, then he passes it to one of his teammates, but the ball is taken by the opposite team, the ball is passed frequently that no matter what the defenders do they couldn't catch it, and then the kid with the ball produced smoke from his hand to push the ball to the goal and score for his team.
The ball is back in the field, this time Jarn and his team decides to play hard, Jarn dodge all the attempts to take the ball then he passes it to his teammate which hits it in a poll then hits another poll then hits the goal.
Jinora was watching as one of the small crowd, she was analyzing the other team defending tactics, when Jarn got the ball again she screamed: "Jarn hit the poll on your north-west with all your strength."
Jarn was unsure of this tactic, but he decided to do it, he ordered his teammates to protect him while he charges his hit, he produced a huge amount of smoke and collected it on his left hand while the other team were trying to stop him, then he threw the ball at the poll which made a big reflecting party ending up scoring a goal, then the match was over.
Jarn turned to Jinora and asked: "so what do you think of smoke bomb?"
"Looks similar to a game back at home we call airball." She replied.
Jarn said: "that proves that air and smoke are similar, anyway thanks for the advice."
"No problem." Jinora said "now, let's continue moving."
Back on republic city.
Korra knocks on Mako and Bolin's house, Mako opens the door.
"Hello Korra." Mako greeted.
"Hey Mako, have you Bolin and Asami finished packing?" Korra said.
"Yes, we were about to come to you." Mako replied.
"Good, let's go to Tenzin and see where to start."
After 30 minutes they were at Airbending Island.
"Alright, the map shows that we have to go to this underground tunnel near the fire nation capital." Tenzin said while pointing at the map.
"I will ask general Iroh to take us there." Korra said.
"I hope we are not walking into our doom." Asami said.
Korra then said: "we were able to deal with what hit us so far, we will make it through anything that face us."
"Alright, let's get this show on the road." Bolin said excitingly.
Back to the United Kingdoms City.
While the two kids were walking, they bumped into a white skinned, black haired man.
Jarn said to the man: "hello there Alrik."
Alrik replied: "hello Jarn, I see that you have a new friend."
"My name is Jinora, nice to meet you." Jinora said.
Alrik replied: "well met Jinora, from the look I see that you are new here."
"She is a guest from the other side of the planet, an airbender." Jarn said
"Ooh, I always wanted to meet someone from that part of the world, have you invented something new with your technology?" Alrik asked excitingly.
Jinora answered: "Well we have the satomobile; it's a vehicle that can transport you to long distances without the need of horse, and there is the radio, a small box that transmits the sound waves produced by people voice to other radios."
"Wow that is some amazing inventions." Alrik said in amazement.
Jarn said: "Alrik here is the leader of the mages guild here, he teaches non-benders and benders about the arcane art, he also make some magical products, mostly non-benders come to train cause they are the best at it, his mother was in a revolution that happened 3 years ago where mages used their powers to attack benders."
"Thanks for bringing that piece of information Jar." Alrik said in anger tone.
Jinora then said: "are you the opposite of Asami?"
"Who?" both Jarn and Alrik asked.
"She is a technician whom her father participated in a revolution against benders three years ago, but you don't look different in the look." Jinora answered.
Jarn said: "being opposite varies for other people, I am your opposite, does that mean I am evil?"
"Good point." Jinora replied.
Jarn then said: "we are heading to the mountains, will you come with us Alrik?"
Alrik replied: "Nah I got business to attend to, see you later Jarn, and nice meeting you Jinora."
"Bye." Both Jinora and Jarn said.
After an hour they were at the mountain. "Arvak and I come to these mountains to meditate on them, not that I like meditating or anything, it's just a way to keep us at peace, a very boring way." Jarn said.
"Why a mountain?" Jinora asked.
Jarn replied: "mountains are the best places to do the boring stuff."
Jinora then said: "well if you are a good host would you do the boring stuff so you can please your guest?"
"Aaaaahhhh, fine, but don't expect such exceptions in the next days." Jar replied uncomfortably.
After a nice/boring hour of meditating, Jinora and Jarn decided to return to his home only to find Arvak waiting.
"So, how was your tour little light?" Arvak asked.
"Pretty nice, Jarn is a good tutor." Jinora replied.
Jarn asked: "when did you return?"
Arvak replied: "the same time you left the same time I came, I simply wanted to see how you will do without me brother."
Arvak then said: "you did a good job brother, now Jinora there is something I want to show you."
Arvak pointed his finger on a wall, a huge amount of smoke came out of his finger and filled a whole on the wall, and the wall suddenly opened revealing a huge collection of books.
"This is my library; you can read whatever you want from here." Arvak said to Jinora who was amazed of the amount of books there and said: "I am in paradise."
Jarn said: "oh great, another book lover, at least I am not forced to read them."
Arvak then said: "ironically you are, since the aspects of light energy is here I am going to try to balance between you two a little bit, you my brother finished your physical training, now you will start your mental training, you will be studying magic."
"What?" Jarn said in a surprised/sad voice.
"And you will only read these books on your free time Jinora, for you will start your physical training." Arvak said to Jinora.
Jinora was surprised and said: "will you treat a guest like that?"
Arvak answered: "I am doing you a service, both of you; yes the process is annoying yes you will get tired and yes you will hate it, but the reward will be worth it, and if we are going to carry on with my plan I need you both to be strong, both in mind and in body."
"Your training begins tomorrow, have a good night sleep." Arvak said while leaving the room.
