Chapter Two: Supplies


Li landed outside the gates of the village. While she stood there she took in the scenery. There was a dam nearby that had a hole so water could flow out. A river was caused by this that went further than Li could see. The sun was near the horizon and it made the forest and village a beautiful orange color.

She started to walk for the village, dragging her glider behind her. The village had a gate, and it surprised her to see two fire nation troops guarding it. She approached them and started to walk through the gate when one of them grabbed her arm and stopped her.

"And where do you think that you're going?" he asked her.

"Into the village, duh. Why would I be going through the gate?" Li said to him rudely.

"Do you have business here?" the guard asked her.

"I'm buying supplies for myself. I'm going camping." She said to him, only half telling the truth.

"And what is this staff for?" he asked her, taking her glider out of her hand.

"It's a walking stick." She said, snatching it back. "Now let me in already!"

The guard shot Li a glare before opening the gate. She walked in, a smirk on her face. She'd just slipped by a fire nation troop. If she'd wanted to she could've smacked him silly or blow him over the dam, but that would bring too much attention to her and she'd be on a fire nation prison ship in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

Li reached out from underneath her cloak and held a sack of money. "That was too easy." She said with a laugh. While the guard had been preoccupied with her glider, she'd snatched his money bag when she snatched back her glider. "This should be enough for a month's stay in the woods."

Li traveled the market place looking for what she wanted. She bought a sleeping bag, a sack, lots of food, and soap. She put her supplies in the sack and tied the sack to her glider. She held the glider over her shoulder and started to leave the village. As she left she glanced at the guard and sent him a smug grin. Before he could say anything she was running off to the road that went through the woods.


Xlo: Chapter two! So Li, are you happy that I didn't make you say something sad at the end of this chapter? I did something happy.

Li: Yeah, but you made this Angst!
