She is walking with her Polar Bear Dog Nyla late at night after working at Kuang's Cuisine
Polar Bear Dogs are waterbenders most preferred method of transportation in the snowy parts of the northern water tribe. She named her Polar Bear Dog Nyla after she found the poor thing dying in the forest with a deep wound made from a firebender.
She nursed the thing back to life although it took a great deal of patience and coaxing to get the thing to trust her in the first place in order for her to heal the wound and bring it back from the brink of death.
It took weeks and months until it regained its strength and she wanted it to be free but it didn't want to leave her so she adopted her and they have been together ever since.
Now, it is pretty late at night and the streets are empty except for the occasional elephant rat scurrying around. Soon, Nyla is growling and turns around to face the danger.
Aylin frowns and turns to see nothing. "Nyla, what is it?" She asks, searching around for anything that might have set off Nyla. "What is it, girl?"
Without warning, three masked people came from out of nowhere and started to attack them.
Nyla kicked one but was subdued with ropes around her paws. Aylin got into a fighting stance, readying herself for a fight that was going to come.
Sure enough, they came. She fought and struggled using the water in the air to whip them back and leave her alone. It was obvious, however, that she wasn't holding out good.
They were relentless and she kept fighting them off, trying to freeze them but they just dodged her attacks.
She briefly wondered if they were Chi-blockers but immediately got rid of the thought.
They must be workers for the Triple Threat Triads, she thought. It's the only thing that made sense.
She kept on fighting, Nyla trying to chew through her ropes. She was getting tired, constantly trying to attack them and at the same time to avoid getting hit. She sensed the moon coming through the clouds and immediately felt her body tense with what was coming.
She had managed avoid being near water or out when the moon was high. A few occasions did she get caught in its spell and manage with great difficulty and pain to break out of it.
It hurt because part of her didn't want to resist and the other part did resist. She knew she couldn't fall under its spell. Not tonight. Not ever.
Desperately now, she amped up her attacks but was now ignoring to keep her guard up.
Quickly, one of the masked men flipped over her and hit her arms and shoulders and sides quickly with painful jabs as he settled on the ground behind her.
"Ah!" She yelled painfully as her arms and shoulders fell limp.
They were Chi-blockers.
"Not so tough now, bender."
Anger washed over her like hot liquid and felt the tugging sensation of the moon.
She had to resist. She couldn't...wouldn't fall under its spell.
She had to resist.
She had to.
"What do you want?" She said through clenched teeth.
The power of the moon was relentless now. Pushing and tugging her, wanting to become one with her and let her experience the power of the moon.
"It's not what we want. It's what Amon wants."
She closed her eyes, already feeling the glow coming in her eyes. She heard them run towards her and she prepared herself to attack. She knew how to fight and she was a good fighter but with her decreased muscular strength from the Chi-blockers it would be really short.
Before she could react however, she heard a boy yell, "Leave the beautiful girl alone!"
She opened her eyes to see the Chi-blockers running towards a tall, muscular boy who was earthbending at them.
Her vision was already swimming since resisting the moon's pool was taking a huge toll from her. She stood there wanting to help the young man but unable too.
She feared if she moved her self control would slip and the painful power of the moon would slip inside her body and own her. Nyla managed to break free from her ropes and attack the Chi-blockers.
One got hurt and the other two ran, carrying the other away.
"Yeah, that's right! You can't deal with this awesomeness! Run on home you cowards!" The boy yelled after them.
Nyla came towards her, sniffing and nudging her, sensing her struggle to hold on to her sanity.
"Nyla..." She barely whispered, feeling the soft fur of Nyla tickling her face.
"Hey, you okay?" The boy said walking hurriedly towards her.
Her vision began going black from her struggle with the moon. The moon was slowly, so slowly releasing its hold and she had to stay strong until it was completely gone.
Just a few more seconds.
"Hey, you know you're eyes are kinda glowy...not that it's weird or anything." He said nervously.
She wouldn't hold out. She was losing consciousness and the moon wasn't even speeding up it's relinquishment on her.
If she passed out now...
No, she had to stay awake for a few more seconds.
But she was losing and she knew it. She only had time to say, "Help," before letting her weak body shut down and pass out into oblivion.
