A/N: Set during The Awakening; title is from Milton's description of Hell.
Anger, pain: these can be used to help your bending, if only you know how to utilize them.
Perhaps I would do better not to analyze Iroh's words too thoroughly, as my firebending this past month has been better than I've ever seen it.
Kick, spin, block… Part of me I'd feared lost after months' hard living is returning from dormancy; the resulting flame burns hot enough to surprise even me.
Anger.
Pain.
Pride….
I don't even realize I've fallen into a different set of moves entirely, until Ty Lee wanders by and, giggling, asks whether I'm trying to waterbend.
