Phoenix's Soul: Alright sorry it took so long, but now I'm back. Here we go on with the story.

"Chido, Kunlon," Shantou called as he entered the clearing where their home was.

"We're in the back brother," called a soft yet loud voice.

As he walked around the side of the house Shantou could hear the rhythmic thudding sound. As he turned the corner he saw brother Chido chopping wood. And to Chido's left his right his other brother Kunlon was painting like he usually did.

Chido was the biggest of the three standing just a few inches taller than Shantou himself and extremely muscular. His hair was kept shorter than most people of the Earth Kingdom usually kept theirs. He said he did this, because he hated conforming to convention. His body was covered in scars, Shantou could see them all clearly since Chido wasn't wearing his fur vest like he normally did. He was also the only one of them who actually had facial hair, which was a short goatee. His skin tone was dark, but not as dark as it seemed since he was normally covered in dirt.

Looking from Chido to Kunlon most people would see a major contrast. Kunlon was the shortest of the three just an inch shorter than Shantou. He was thin, but he was much stronger than he looked. His hair was much longer than his brother's though. He kept it in a long braided ponytail that reached halfway down his back. The clothing he wore was very reminiscent of the normal Water Tribe garb. The colors were Water Tribe, but the sleeves were much longer and bigger, this was what allowed his fighting style as well as bending. He always said that if one couldn't see from where the attack was coming from one couldn't fully guard against it.

Kunlon put down his brush, and Chido planted his axe into the stump he was chopping wood at and wiped his brow. Both looked at their brother at the same time. Shantou's hair was long, but instead of keeping it pulled back he wore it down. The unusual thing was that he kept it mostly over the right side of his face. They knew why he did it. It was something he didn't like to talk about, but he had told them about it, and they were pretty sure aside from a few others who actually knew why. His clothes were simple and different shades of red.

"What is it, brother?" Kunlon asked walking over to Shantou.

"It's time," Shantou said softly.

"Well it's about time," roared Chido. "I've been waiting for this."

"When do we leave?" Kunlon asked looking up into the sky.

"As soon as we can," Shantou said. "Get your things guys, I'll set up the Ostric-Horses ready. Oh and Chido."

"Yeah, Shantou, what is it?"

"Get me my sword will you."

"Sure brother, and which weapon should I bring, my axe or my hammer?"

"This mission is going to require fines."

"Right, the hammer it is then."

After a few minutes they were all astride their Ostrich-Horses and gazing at their home, and then out at the road before them.

"Well then brothers," Shantou said looking at his brothers. "There is no turning back after this. You don't have to do this."

"Of course we don't have to," Kunlon said reaching over and placing is hand on Shantou's shoulder.

"We're doing this cause we want to, brother," Chido said softly.

"Then let's ride!" Shantou hollered.

The three of them took off. They road for days on end, and on the fourth day they saw something strange in the sky. A large shape was flying across the night sky. They stopped and watched the shape as it flew toward a mountain range. They looked at each other and knew what it was. They would reach BaSingSe in less than a few days.
