I know how much you want to read about the first time Kuzon bends, but I once wrote he learned at age five. I know I did somewhere and I'm pretty sure I posted it. *hint, hint* But I will write how he gets his bending so don't worry.
I just wanted to thank NicBaz for her review. I liked it, but I will have to change that a bit and use it or not use it because it was in the reviews.
Chapter 5
"Mom!" shouted Kuzon. "Mom! Mom! Mom!"
Lin ran into his bedroom. The three year old was sitting on his bed in his pajamas staring at her.
She put her hands on her hips. "I told you that I'm very busy right now."
It was true. She had a lot of paperwork to fill out, thanks to her predecessor. Toph. Toph could not do it because she was blind and often had other people do it for her or she would hide it in one of her desk drawers. So Lin had to fill them out and turn them in the next morning. She was pretty sure she wouldn't get any sleep tonight.
"Yeah, I know." he said.
"And you should be sleeping. It's almost midnight!"
Kuzon pouted. "I wanna hear a story!"
She did a facepalm. "Kuzon! Now is not the time for stories!"
"Story about...Grandma!"
Lin sighed. "No. I'm very busy tonight."
Instead of looking disappointed, Kuzon had a determined face. "Then I won't go to sleep and I'll bug you."
he said firmly.
"Fine, I'll tell you a story." she said in defeat. He grinned and went under the covers, hugging his plush badgermole.
"Your grandmother, Toph, used to be thought by her parents as a poor little blind girl." she began.
"But Grandma invented metalbending!" Kuzon protested. "She's tough!"
She glared. "Can. I. Finish?"
He squeaked and nodded.
"But secretly, she was an earthbender. A prodigy. As a rebellion, Toph became the Blind Bandit. She was the champion and beat up a lot of tough guys like the Boulder."
"Wow!" he whispered.
"When Avatar Aang needed an earthbending master, he had seen Toph in a vision. So he, Katara, and an idiot named Sokka," he giggled at this. "went to go find her. They tracked her down as the Blind Bandit at first, then found her at the Beifong Estate. Toph had not wanted to see them because she thought they might expose her as the Blind Bandit." Lin looked at the clock. "Can I go now?"
"No! You're at the good part!"
"They got invited to dinner, much to Toph's displeasure. Unfortunately, it ended in everyone being covered with food. So she went with Aang for a walk to make up for it. She told him how she could feel vibrations in the earth and "see". Just about then, they were captured by some men from the underground arena. They thought they were cheated out of the prize money. So they were followed by Katara, Sokka, Toph's father, and her earthbending 'master'.
"Toph broke out of the metal cage and fought many earthbenders at once. Everyone was impressed, but when she got home her father strictly said she would be guarded around the clock."
Kuzon gasped. "He didn't!"
"He did. But Toph chose to run away with the Avatar and his friends." Lin finished. "And they had many adventures together."
His gray eyes widened. "Wow Mom! Tell another story!"
She shook her head. "We had a deal. Now sleep."
"Alright." he mumbled and quickly fell asleep. Lin kissed his forehead and turned off the lights. Finally, she was done with the story.
Although, she had to admit that it wasn't that bad.
Review! They inspire me to write
