We were resting on a beach after flying on Oogi for 6 hours. I was bending sculptures out of sand and Hinako was turning them into glass with his fire. He had gotten his Devils Fire under control as soon as all his strength came back.
It was an amuzing expirience watching him test the limits of what his new fire would consume. Wood, paper, dirt, water and well mostly all of his clothes. The first time was because he wasnt careful but all the other ones were because he wanted to see if he could coat himself in fire without it burning him. It worked, his fire didnt or couldnt burn him directly but it did burn anything he wore.
"HInako hey come on make this one glass." I said as I pointed to a sand sculpture I had made of Shade. It was of her when I had found her, a small kitten with a quill stuck in her foot wimpering in pain.
"I already did like 5 other ones of her why this one too?" Hinako said as he slowly walked over.
"Because all the other ones were of her now and I want to remember her as I had found her." I bent a small dragon figure and nudged Hinako. "I will make you anything you want brother."
He tilted his head and thought, a minute later he tilted it back. "I want a 15 foot dragon curled around a figure of myself. If you can do that I will help you again." He turned his head cockily. "But if you cant I guess not."
I laughed and took my stance, I focused on bringing sand from deeper in the earth and pulled as much of it to the surface as I could. I began solidifying and liqifying the sand to make the dragon. It took me 10 mintues to make the dragon and 3 to make Hinako. When I finished I turned and stood triumphantly and Hinako stood mouth agape.
"Woah brother I didnt think you would be able to put this much detail in it." He said as he walked around and looked at the whole thing. "Well deals a deal." He said as the turned the small figure of Shade into glass, then he turned his attention to his new test.
"You're going to try and make that glass arent you?" Jinora said as she walked up. He nodded furiously. Jinora leaned in and whispered to me. "Is that thing solid or hollow?"
"Uh yes?" I said as Hinako started burning it. "Well some of it is hollow because it would tip over because the base couldnt support the weight but other than that its all solid."
"So its probably going to blow up when he gets to the t-" {BOOM!} Jinora couldnt finish her sentence as the top of the dragon blew up and sent sand and glass powder into the air. I bent the sand and glass and redirected it away from us.
"By the way Hinako dont try to turn the the whole thing into glass because its hollow." I said sarcastically. Hinako walked up covered in dust and sand.
"Brother if you would please." He said as he gestured up and down his body. I laughed and bent it all off of him. He looked like he was about to say something but I put my hand up.
"I made it like you wanted, I could have made a smaller one if you wanted to make it glass but you didnt ask." I laughed as I walked away and Jinora walked along side me. I looked back to see Rina bending water around Hinako and I sighed. "Im glad she forgave him, I meant I kinda think freezing him solid for a whole day was alittle extreme but hey what they do is their thing."
"Not the whole day, when ever I looked away he unfroze his head and made funny faces at me." I spun around as Rina ran up with Hinako.
"Oh so you knew and still let me keep doing it?" Hinako said as he picked her up in his arms and spun her around.
"The suns starting to set I think our day of free fun is coming to an end. Your father would get pissed at me if we didnt come back before dark." I joked and Jinora pushed me playfully.
"Oh dont you worry about daddy I can handle him. Besides if it gets dark we have our own personal human torch." She said as she pointed back at Hinako who had fallen to the ground.
"His body may have stopped spinning but his mind is still going." Rina said for the spot next to him.
"Everyone is camped at the otherside od the island and it shouldnt take us that long to get over there but just to be safe we should head out now." I wasnt worried about it getting dark I just didnt want Tenzin to lecture me again for the billionth time about being an original air-bender and how we should act blah blah blah. "Im a grown ass man and even though I may be an original air-bender, I wasnt raised as one and besides that I am also an earth-bender so I dont classify myself as an air nomad."
"What are you going on about now?" Jinora asked alittle worried.
"Oh sorry I guess I was just thinking out loud. Its just that your father expects me to be more like how you guys are even though I was raised in the wilderness and not with air-nomads." I whistled and about a minute later Shade came running out of the trees carrying a dead mouse which she proceded to eat.
"You know you could have ate that then came out to us right?" Jinora said after she gaged. Shade licked her lips and ran to the water to drink and wash herself off.
"I glad Rina got her so used to the water that she will actually play in it and even wash herself." I leaned in on Jinora. "Last one in is a rotten egg." I sprinted and leaped in the water. I surfaced and looked to shore only to see Jinora and Rina in a head to head battle running towards me. I looked behind them and saw Hinako, feet frozen to the ground and hands frozen on his knees.
"Why does she always freeze you?" I shouted out to him, moments later Rina plunged in just before Jinora and both slashed water around. I swam around for a minute watching Hinako as he easily unfrozed the ice and walk over to the water.
"Why dont you just melt the ice as soon as she freezes you?" Jinora asked as she floated in place.
"That defeats the whole purpose of me frezing him Jinora, I know he could melt it in an instant if he wants but he lets me have my fun seeing him in ice." Rina said as she ran out of the water and tackled HInako.
"I can freeze and unfreeze water at will just by thinking about it. For instance like this." He said as the water around me started to freeze. I bent the sand beneath me and raised myself above the water.
"Id rather not get frozen so you can just let it go. Anyways we should be heading back so everyone dry off." I said as I leapt from my tower away from the water further onto the beach.
I spun as fast as I could to get the water off of me and so did Jinora. Rina and Hinako just bent the water off. Shade ran up and pawed my leg.
"Rina could you dry her off? Whenever I air dry her she always smells like wet dog." I handed her over to Rina who quickly dried her. 'I hope something fun happens during this trip.' I thought as we headed off towards the camp.
A/N: I figured a little beach time fun for them since its been cold and windy here at least they would be warm.
