Bending Elements

Section 4

Fire

To bend fire, you must feel the heat within your own soul. The animals that are able to bend this element are extinct. Sources tell me that dragons were the natural firebenders in the animal kingdom. Look up to the sun, the source of firebending power. Feel the heat radiating off your skin. If you started off with water, learning firebending will be a challenge(See Chp. 5: Opposites for more info). When you take a stance for firebending, make sure your legs are spread out and you take good breaths. Feel the heat rising all around you, then make the heat rise. Release the fire that lies within. Then, you become a firebender.

When a firebender's emotions are going haywire, you should run for your life. When the firebender is mad, their bending is out of control. Their placid bending of fire becomes like wild fire, untammable and powerful all in one. A true force to be reckoned with is an extremely angry firebender.
