Chapter 12: The Spirit of Combustion Man
Normal POV
A few days later, early in the morning, Femke was meditating on the leftovers of the fountain as Zaheer approached her.
"Hello Femke. Want to train?" He asked as he got into the lotus position next to her when he saw something was bothering the normally so happy and disciplined brunette.
"What's wrong?" Zaheer asked his friend worriedly as he placed a hand on her knee, at which Femke snapped her head up and looked at Zaheer sadly.
"I keep having nightmares. Every time the same one. About the Death of Combustion Man." Femke said as she looked at her lap sadly.
"For how long?" Zaheer asked as he placed a hand on her arm and looked at her worriedly.
"A couple of nights. They got worse ever since we arrived in the temple." Femke said as she looked at Zaheer sadly. "I'm worried it means something again Heer. Just like last time." The brunette said, since this was the second time she kept dreaming about the same thing for a long time.
"Maybe. Maybe not. Since it is a dream of a past event it could be it is just this place that calls up this awful memory." Zaheer suggested as he looked worriedly at Femke, who looked down, thinking about this for a moment.
"There is something else. Have you ever been awake during these nights?" Femke asked, knowing how deep Zaheer sleeps.
"No. Why?" Zaheer asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I know it might be a mind trick my head played on me after that nightmare but ever since were here I see a strange figure with one arm and one leg stand at P'li's side." Femke said as she looked seriously at the airbender. "A ghost." She said as she looked at the place the voices of her friends came from worriedly.
"And don't say it is because of a lack of sleep." Femke said with a firm look as Zaheer opened his mouth with a raised finger.
"I was going to say that but I want to believe you. Whose ghost? And why?" Zaheer questioned as he looked down.
"Maybe we should all stay up tonight while P'li sleeps. Maybe if we hide we can see his face and what he wants." Femke suggested as she got up and held out her hand towards Zaheer.
"In the meantime I'm going to teach you how to control your firebending." She smiled, at which Zaheer smiled as well and took her hand, gently letting Femke help him on his feet as they walked to a good secluded spot surrounded by rocky walls, so they couldn't accidentally start a fire while practicing.
Femke's POV
"Fire is the element of energy and power. You have to control it or you might hurt someone. Avatar Aang experienced this first hand." I explained as I got in a bending stance, which Zaheer imitated.
"I know that story. He burned Katara in his first attempt at firebending." Zaheer said as he closed his eyes and concentrated on his calm surroundings.
"After that he swore never to use firebending again since it only brought destruction until he met the Guru in the Eastern Air Temple." I smiled as I finished his line.
"In a way this is true. Fire brings destruction but it also brings light and warmth." I said as i made some gentle firebending poses now.
"Like every element, fire has a good and a bad side. They're all connected." Zaheer said as he followed my slow, controlled movements.
"Did you also ever hear the tale of Avatar Aang and lord zuko learning the Dance of the Dragon?" I asked with a smile on my lips. "From actual Dragons?" I smiled as I said this.
"I read something about it somewhere. Wasn't that in an Old Temple near this place?" Zaheer asked as we kick flipped then put out our hands like we were firebending.
"It's close but too far to go by foot, I'm afraid." I said since it would have been cool for all of us to see it and maybe learn a thing or two about firebending.
"Did you think about a friendly visit?" Zaheer asked me teasingly as we kept up moving.
"It might be a good learning experience." I replied, smiling as I started to use actual firebending for the more intricate moves, which Zaheer watched, smiling.
"True, but it's better we don't leave this place for now. They might notice us." Zaheer brought in as he tried to firebend as well, managing to make a small flame in his hand but no matter how hard he struggled it didn't get bigger.
"This is harder than I imagined." Zaheer muttered as he moved around the same way I did, trying to Firebend but all that came out were small flames.
"You'll get the hang of it. You just need time and practice." I said as I got in a bending stance and started with some basic moves again.
"You're probably right. I think I just expected it all to be just like when I first got my airbending. I understood it almost immediately." Zaheer admitted as he tried to follow my calm, slow movements.
"Well, you studied airbending all your life. You knew everything about it already. Fire is a complete new element you didn't study yet. You have to be patient." I said as I placed a hand on his arm and looked at him calmly, which made Zaheer nod with a smile.
"I'll try, it is just a little frustrating it doesn't work immediately like with air." Zaheer admitted as he rubbed some sweat from his brow and as he did so, I could swear I saw he lost his balance for one moment, recovering himself so fast that it might have been in my head.
'That's probably it. Zaheer isn't sick or would tell us if he was.' I thought as I went on with the training. Zaheer tried to keep up with me but he was having trouble with firebending training. Despite that I was very pleased with the result of the first training.
"We'll pick things up from here tomorrow. You did a good job for your first time." I said after a good hour of training.
"Thanks. You did well for a first time teacher." Zaheer smiled as he bowed to me in the traditional way, which made me smile a little, feeling it was really meant as a sign of respect this time.
'He has grown. I can clearly see he turned his back to the Red Lotus.' I thought as I looked at him smiling as we walked back to the group and got a towel from my bag to dry myself off.
Normal POV
"Training?" Ghazan simply asked as Femke and Zaheer re-appeared after having been gone for quite some time, both looking sweaty and exhausted.
"My first firebending training. It was rough, but Femke is a good teacher." Zaheer smiled as he took a few sips from one of the water bottles the team had filled along the way.
"Femke is a good teacher." P'li smiled as she looked at Femke teasingly, who smiled back at her as she walked to her best female friend and ruffled her over her hair in an affectionate way, which made P'li fix it immediately.
"At least act your age." Ming Hua commented as she rolled her eyes at the two of them goofing around while they were on the run from authorities.
"Come on, Ming, even though we're wanted people on the run, we can still have a little fun from time to time." Femke smiled at Ming Hua, who rolled her eyes at them before she walked off.
"What's her problem?" Crossia asked Femke, who shrugged in return.
"She has always been like that. Don't worry, she will warm up to you once she gets the know you." Femke assured the young elf as she earthbent a small bowl, then waterbent a small portion of brew into her bowl.
"I wish I already had a second element. I wonder which one will be my next." P'li smiled as she beamed at Femke, who now looked at her, pondering.
"Judging by your character I would say water or air and if I have to give it a 50/50 chance I think air would most likely come out on top." Femke smiled as she said this, which made P'li wrinkle her nose in disgust.
"Air? Don't you have anything better?" She said teasingly, which made Zaheer almost choke on his water before he looked up quite offended.
"Hey!" He called, at which P'li shrugged.
"I just don't think I would ever be able to get the hang of those gates." P'li smiled as she rubbed the back of her neck. "And I am far from spiritual enough to ever meditate into the spirit world." she added.
"Even some well accomplished air benders can't meditate into the spirit world and going through the gates is a bit like dancing formally." Femke explained, smiling. "Only at a dance you keep your arms in and with airbending you spread them wide." Femke said as she showed her best friend a few steps of a formal dance, which mad the elves look at her in disgust.
"Then it will be a piece of cake." Arsenio said as he held out his hand for Maxine, who giggled and took it, before they danced a few steps before us.
"I don't know if you ever listened closely but we don't like that kind of formal shit." Ming Hua snapped as she looked to the side with an annoyed look.
"It's almost the same and I should know." Femke said as she crossed her arms. She was born into royalty; officially she was the Princess of a colony of descendants of the Voorfieldian people who managed to escape the destruction of their village and the massacre on their people, settling on a small island before the coast of England they called Sheffield. Only Zaheer knew about this.
"How do you know?" Ming Hua asked as she looked at Femke with a raised eyebrow, who now blushed a little in embarrassment, only now realizing she hadn't told her remaining friends about her identity as a Fairy Princess.
"Well, that is kind of a long story and I'm not sure how you all are going to take this but I'm a Princess. From birth." Femke carefully admitted as she squeezed one eye shut, waiting for the reactions.
"Right. And I'm the Earth Queen." Ming Hua snapped as she looked at Femke firmly, not believing her claims at all.
"She's speaking the truth, Ming. She was the Princes of Sheffield on Earth until she gave up her title for true love." Zaheer defended Femke.
"How do you know about this?" Ming Hua asked as he looked at Zaheer and shooting a glare at Femke, who nodded to confirm this.
"Because she told me before. Right after that platypus bear almost got me." Zaheer admitted now as he hung his head.
"Why didn't you told us before?" P'li asked, sounding rather hurt Zaheer had tried to keep this from them.
"Because she made me swear I wouldn't tell anyone." Zaheer said as he smiled a little at Femke, who smiled back at him thankfully as she nodded to confirm his words.
"I didn't know how you all would react on this. I'm sorry I kept it from you. I thought you might hate me if I would tell." Femke said as she looked at her friends sadly.
"Probably. Not to much on the royalty." Ghazan replied as he folded his arms behind his head with a grin on his face.
"It's understandable you didn't want to tell us. I just don't understand why you told Zaheer. He's our leader." P'li questioned as she looked at Femke with a cocked head.
"Because Zaheer entrusted me with a secret as well. It was only fair if I told a secret in return." Femke said, not saying what the secret was itself after Zaheer looked at her, wordlessly pleading not to tell, knowing it still could cause the others to start looking down on him.
"Wait a second. Zaheer. You never told them about your past?" Xai Bau asked with a shocked look, Zaheer shook his head with his head bowed.
"I couldn't do it. I don't want to be seen like that. That isn't the real me." Zaheer said as he looked to the side, hurt, which made Xai Bau walked to him and give him a hug.
"I'm sure it won't change anything to them. You are you. Rich or poor, they will respect the real you; the man that led them through thick and thin and almost got them killed while he was at it." Xai Bau said, grinning a little as he said the last part, looking at Femke afterwards, who nodded as well.
"Just as I'm sure no one will look down on Femke for her royal background. Though I can't believe a princess proved to be a Red Lotus member." Xai Bau spat the last part as he shot Femke a glare, who looked down sadly.
"No one will. But we can't just... forget you are." P'li smiled as she pulled Femke in a hug, who smiled as she returned the hug, glad her royal background didn't spoil their friendship. "What is it you were hiding, Zaheer?" P'li asked smiling as she looked up from hugging Femke.
"Zaheer is the son of the rich Batu family. Some of the richest people of the upper ring of Ba Sing Se." Xai Bau said, looking seriously from Zaheer to his friends, who looked at Zaheer, surprised.
"Your last name is Batu?" Ming Hua asked as she gave Zaheer a shocked look, feeling betrayed by their leader not telling this earlier.
"I heard the Batu family were the most rich and powerful people after the Bei Fong family." Ghazan said, which earned him a glare from Ming Hua.
"You were rich beyond your wildest dreams. Why did you give that all up?" P'li asked with a shocked look. She had been poor her whole life and couldn't see why Zaheer who had it all gave everything up to become a criminal like them.
"Because it didn't feel right. All this wealth…. Just because I was born at the right place at the right time. It was unfair. I wanted… I wanted to do something. But I wasn't allowed. Having to marry someone against my will and be chained to that life forever was the final straw and I left. Trying to make the world better."
"Sounds like you had your priorities in order." Ghazan said.
"Well, you at least had parents who cared about you. Not everyone can say that." Ming Hua said as she rolled her eyes at Zaheer, who nodded and looked down again, feeling slightly ashamed that he forgot all the others except Femke had no parents at all or had parents that didn't care about them one bit. He had lived a life of privilege.
"It was, but nothing is as bad as having no parents at all or parents who don't care about you at all." Zaheer admitted as he looked at his friends, who nodded in return.
Femke's POV
With that out of the way, we went on with some training and after that I went into the forest with Xai Bau and Tziza to get some fruits and other supplies, not wanting to go into town because we all knew that if anyone were to recognize us, bad things would happen.
"You and Zaheer were gone for quite some time. Did you do more than training?" Xai Bau asked as we were walking through the forest, the older man on the ground while Tziza and I were plucking fruits up in the trees.
"Femke is in love!" Floxy called teasingly as he flew above Femke and together with Sapphire picked an apple to put in the basket. "I thought I heard you were with someone called 'Grovyle'." Sapphire questioned as she gave Floxy a puzzled look.
"We broke up. And Zaheer and I just trained and disgusted a nightmare I keep having for a few nights now." I smiled as I climbed a little higher in the tree to get some more fruits.
"What kind of dream?" Xai Bau asked me as he held up the basket for me. "Dreams are awesome." Floxy grinned.
"Something that happened in the past and doesn't let go of me." I admitted as I leapt from one branch to the other with relative ease and threw down some more fruits into the basket.
"What did Zaheer have to say about it?" Xai Bau wanted to know.
"That I should try and meditate on it. He thinks it might be possible that Combustion Man, who I'm dreaming about, is trying to make something clear to me." I told him as I kept leaping through the trees and gather fruits.
"What do you mean?" Tziza asked me as she leapt after me.
"Because every time after that dream I see a ghost standing near P'li's sleeping bag, looking at her with a peaceful smile on his face and I can't help but feel it's Combustion Man." I now dared to say, even when I knew it might sound crazy. It was what I had seen.
"How come?" Xai Bau asked with an amused smirk.
"I've had dreams like this before. I foresaw the death of P'li, Ming Hua and Ghazan and managed to stop them." I said as I got down and showed Xai bau the big spiral shaped scar on my shoulder.
"Awesome, I have one looking like a upside down shoe on my back." Floxy smirked as he moved his shirt up so I could see it.
"Let me guess, angered a Pixie lady?" I teased him with a smirk on my face, which made Floxy blush in embarrassment before he nodded.
"I must admit the reason you got the scar is admirable but the way you say it happened before it really happen is doubtful. I mean, only the Avatar is known to be able to do that." Xai Bau said as he looked at Femke.
"It's a bit short minded of the oldtimer but it isn't something you hear too often." Tziza said as she shot Xai Bau a glare, who shrugged in return.
"Yet I have had it a few times already. Sometimes it came in handy, other times it was difficult to deal with. Like when I saw P'li die before my eyes in that dream." I said as I looked down sadly, remembering how horrible the dream P'li died in had been, something I managed to prevent.
"Maybe a little, Tziza, but you know it is a rare ability." Xai Bau protested as he looked firmly at Tziza, who shrugged in return. "Anyway, what are you going to do?" She asked as she gave me a stern look.
"I am going to make sure I can see his face clearly this evening and if he is who I thinks he is." I said as we walked back to the camp. "I'll try to contact him and see what he wants." I said as we went to prepare supper for everyone, after which we trained some more before headed to bed. Ming did great during training, thanks to her metal legs she was feeling a lot more confident about herself again. Soon after I fell asleep again that dream started again.
"femke's dream'
'There they are. This time there is no escaping.' I heard Combustion Man think as he looked down the cliff at Team Avatar nursing a injured Toph. 'Stand still Avatar, stand still.' I heard him think as he followed Aang with his eyes. There was a flash and a bang and as I saw everyone scatter to take cover, I suddenly felt my body melt together with my dream and before I knew what was happening, I saw team Avatar from Combustion Man's point of view and even felt like I was him as the whole fight passed before my eyes.
'My family! Ah shi-...!' I heard his last thoughts ring in my head, before a horrible pain rang through my forehead, causing me to scream in pain and terror as it it fell like my head was splitting to half, before my vision went black.
End of dream
"No!" I gasped as I shot up in my sleeping bag, looking around with a bewildered look as I did so, sighing in relieve when I saw I hadn't screamed out loud this time, I hadn't woken anyone up. 'They can use all the rest they can get.' I thought as I sat down at the side of the cliff and looked down with a frown on my face, remembering once again the day Combustion Man had died.
"Can't sleep?" Zaheer's voice called from behind me.
"No." I said as I looked down the cliff again, listening to the crickets play in the dark of the night.
"That nightmare?" Zaheer asked me as he looked down as well.
"Yeah. Even though it was self defense, I feel kinda sorry for the poor man. It must have been a painful death." I said as I saw images of the explosions near Combustion Man's face again before the whole tower he stood near collapsed into the cliff, now made even worse by that horrible pain in my head, which I still felt lightly.
"I wasn't there like you but from what I heard he indeed died a pretty gruesome Death." zaheer said as he placed a hand on my knee and looked at me with a small but painful smile.
"I know I should be relieve we survived and all but i can't help thinking; what if he left behind a family?" I suddenly spoke up, speaking out the biggest fear I have had ever since Combustion Man's death. Something I had never dared to utter before, not even to Aang, who was my best friend and fellow team member.
"For all we know he was a Combustion Bender who had a job as a very good bounty hunter. I don't think people like him have a family." Zaheer said sternly as he placed his hands on my hands, ignoring the fluttering feeling that rose in my chest I looked at him firmly. That seemed like a lousy excuse to me, especially since I know how much he loved P'li and that they wanted to stay together like a loving couple after their mission was done. Before the kiss happened.
"Why not? You and li thought about settling down, right?" I asked, not getting why he thought Combustion Man wouldn't be able to have a family since I knew Combustion Benders had feelings. Combustion Benders like P'li.
"Bounty Hunters usually don't have a family. Their job is just too risky. I read all about the fight in the Western Air Temple." Zaheer smiled as he showed me a book that seemed pretty old and used to me and had a picture in it of Combustion Man.
"He doesn't to me either but what if? What if we took a husband/father away from his family?" I said as tears formed in the corners of my eyes at the very thought.
"Maybe. We will never know. If we stopped to question if all of our opponents had family, we'd never get anything done. Even the Earth Queen had her Nephew. That said, there's no one left we could ask, I'm afraid and since we don't know his real name, it's impossible to check." Zaheer shrugged as he looked at me sadly.
"I know but despite that I wish there was a possibility to check this. I would like to apologize to those people for taking his life." I said as I looked at Zaheer sadly, whom in his turn looked down, pondering.
"Maybe we could ask Combustion Man himself. If this is the place he died, his spirit might have stayed here." Zaheer said as he kept looking down, pondering. "That is, if you're willing to face him." He said as he held his arms open for me. I hesitated for a moment, then took his hands.
'You can do it. Just take a deep breath and relax.' I thought to myself. On one hand I was excited to finally be able to get the answer to my question, but at the other hand I was nervous to call upon his spirit. Would he still be mad at me for what happened? What would he look like?
'The only way to find out is by trying to see if his spirit wants to react to our call.' I thought as i inhaled, then exhaled, trying to relax my body and mind after which we found ourselves standing in the Temple's hallways while everything around us had turned dark. Like we were ghosts.
"Are you alright?" Zaheer asked me as he came to stand next to me and looked around.
"Why are we here?" I asked as I looked around the hallway as well, that was until there was a bright flash and a man with only one arm and one leg stood before us, looking at us sternly.
"Combustion Man." I whispered as I got behind Zaheer since I got nervous from his presence.
"Actually, my name is Laniban." Zaheer translated slowly as he looked at Combustion Man using sign language. Something I had been able to understand as well if I had looked at him.
Zaheer's POV
"Nice to meet you, Laniban. I heard a lot about you from Femke." I greeted Combustion Man after which I looked at Femke, who was trembling behind me.
'Combustion Man must have scared her pretty bad' I thought as I gave her a reassuring smile, at which she returned a small smile but kept herself away from him.
"Why is your friend afraid of me?" Combustion Man asked as he shot Femke a confused look, unable to either understand why she was afraid of him or recognize her.
'I doubt it since she looks pretty much the same as she did back when he died.' I thought as I tried to sign to Femke to get out of her hiding place, at which she reacted by firmly shaking her head, not feeling sure enough about the man to come out yet.
"She was with the Avatar during the time you attacked the Air Temple. She saw you die." I simply explained at which Femke shot me a glare, not at all seeming to like me telling this.
"Is that all? They got the better of me. Comes with the job. I'm not mad." I translated out loud now, which made Femke look Combustion Man in the eye for the very first time.
"You're not?" She asked as a small smile crept on her face. Combustion Man now nodded and made a sign with his hand that meant 'peace' if i remembered correctly, which made Femke came to stand next to me at last and smiled at me thankfully for the help.
"There was something i would like to ask. Something else that bothered me ever since it happened. Did you leave anyone behind when you died?" Femke now dared to ask as she took my hand and gave it a small squeeze for support.
Why do you want to know?" Combustion Man asked as he raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Because ever since you died I couldn't help but wonder if you maybe left loved ones behind. Loved ones that missed you since that day." Femke spoke up, a little more sure about herself now she knew Combustion Man held no grudge against her and her old friends.
"I had a wife and two kids. They should be grown up by now." Combustion Man told us. "They know I'm dead, but maybe you could tell them it was an accident and that I died fast and painless." Combustion Man sign told us, but at this, Femke frowned.
"That would be a lie. I know you felt pain." She suddenly said which made me look up at her, not getting what she meant with it.
"How would you know?" Laniban asked as he looked at her with a frown, not getting what she meant with this either.
"In my dreams, I saw you. I saw how you fell at our hands." Femke said carefully as she gave me a nod, signing she had gotten the same nightmare as before.
"But last time I saw the battle from your point of view. I heard your thoughts through the whole battle." Femke said as she took a step towards Combustion Man.
"I also felt what you felt on that last moment. A pain that almost split my head apart. It was horrible." Femke said, bowing her head sadly as she placed a hand on her forehead.
"She had a vision of the past this time. More than that; it told her Combustion Man felt pain right before he went." Shot through my head as I instinctively placed a hand on the shoulder of the brunette, who looked up at me with a shocked look, before she smiled thankfully.
"That's quite the ability." Combustion Man signed, looking up as P'li mumbled in her sleep, smiling softly as he floated to her and tucked her in.
'She must have a nightmare again about her time under Mogui.' i thought as I saw how Femke came another step closer to Combustion Man and placed a hand on the forehead of her best friend.
"She's my best friend ever since we met." Femke told Combustion Man with a soft look on her face which made Lariban look up at her, shocked.
"You like this girl then? Despite the fact that we share the same powers?" He asked, which made femke nod.
"Yes. She's the one that taught me Combustion Bending as well. She's my teacher and best friend." Femke smiled as she looked at P'li.
"What about her parents?" Laniban asked, which made me gasp in shock, since no one except us had ever asked about P'li's parents.
'Why is he interested in that anyway? What does he have to do with anything?' I thought as a strange thought crossed my mind, which I shook off just as fast.
'That would be impossible. Even if what he says is true the chance that she belongs with that family as well is a stretch.' I thought as Femke told Combustion Man that P'li had no parents anymore, that they had sold her out for money, at which Combustion Man looked shocked.
"She doesn't know?" Laniban signed to us, looking to the side with a horrified expression, making me raise an eyebrow at him, not getting what he meant.
"Take P'li to the place it all started. There is something she needs to find." Combustion Man signed us before he looked at the rising sun, we had been talking for a long time.
"What does p"li need to find there?" Femke asked as she saw Combustion Man started to fade away.
"What she lost can be found where it all started." Combustion Man signed us before he disappeared as the sun fully rose from the horizon.
"What she lost can be found where it all started? What did he mean?" Femke repeated with a stern look, before she looked up at me like she suddenly thought of something.
"I think he meant her parents. She lost them when they sold her to Mogui. He wants us to go to Mogui's estate. Something might be there." Femke said as her eyes lit up with the idea that there might be a chance P'li's parents had been sorry for selling their daughter and wanted her back now.
'I highly doubt it after what P'li told me. They didn't even look back at her. They were happy to be rid of her.' I thought as I looked at Femke, who nodded at me before we both went back to our own bodies.
Femke's POV
As soon as everyone was up for breakfast I told them about our meeting with Combustion Man and what he had told us.
"Combustion Man has children? I would love to meet them." Ghazan commented.
"Do you suppose they're Combustion Benders as well?" P'li asked, which made me blush a little, since I forgot to ask.
"He didn't mention that and I was a little afraid to ask." I admitted with a blush on my cheeks, which made P'li sight and look down.
"Please tell there's something you figured out." P'li asked, rather annoyed. Probably because we didn't inform her about things even when it was clear she was a big part of it.
"He said we had to go to where it all started for you. He probably meant there's a clue there." I said, trying to repeat his words. This only made P'li look at me with a raised eyebrow.
"What does he mean with that? What does that have to do with his family?" P'li asked as she looked at me.
"He disappeared before I could ask but I think he wanted us to find your parents." I guessed.
"My parents?" P'li questioned, tearing up at the very idea.
"Maybe you two are related?" Ghazan tried as he shared a smile with Crossia.
" will find the answers if we go to the place it all started for P'li. Where is that place exactly?" I asked Zaheer as I turned to look at our leader.
"The village of Fu Jet." Zaheer said as he narrowed his eyes at me, smirking as he did so.
Normal POV
As the Voortrix left the temple to get to Fu Jet, they didn't look back at the Temple. If they had, they would have seen Laniban stand on a small ledge that had an outlook over the forest and over the Voortrix leaving.
'Good luck P'li. I hope you will find your parents. My great granddaughter.' The man thought before he silently disappeared into nothing.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
And with that I end my chapter. I hope you all liked it.
A/N:
Zaheer now knows how to use a second element! But it won't be easy for him to master it. On advice from paranoid he will have some struggles with his new element.
Scared of the others seeing him as nothing but a spoiled brat, Zaheer never told his friends his parents were rich but since they seemed to be okay with Femke being a princess earlier I didn't think it would be alright to make them mad at Zaheer for not telling them he was rich as well, since that was most likely what had happened indeed if he had told them before he was rich.
That was all for now, I hope you enjoyed it enough to leave a review!
