CHAPTER 1
To War
Where the Water Tribe was located, it consisted of ths and depths They all surrounded the biggest lake on the continent, it was huge and strangely, it looked e lake was known by all to stay away fro In the history, that they know of, this lake had only led to peoples deaths, yet, it seemed that it was also very important It just wasn't knohy
The other lakes were not of this nature, they even were the homes for the Water Tribal members
As the people were immune to water, they could also breath in it, just as you normally would outside
This was also the last defence of the Water Tribe, as the Fire Tribe would not be able to kill them all, as the Water Tribesmen would be able to escape inside the deep water They have not had to use this strategy for as long as they could reroly in lakes and population
The Water Tribal village looked closer to a fresh swamp land Much of their food consisted of fish, that was eaten raw Other foods consisted of octopus, squid and even scallops
Rain would often happen over their area regarding who or how e thunderstorm would appear with a heavy downfall of rain, no matter whether the child was male or female
This kind of land style was siest, and only, volcano on the continent of Mondal, was situated in the ain, it was classified as a very dangerous place that you could lose your life in The ma was so extremely hot, that the people could not live too close to it It was further, down below the volcano, that they situated their homa pools below, that were cooler for the Fire Tribal members to live in There were distinct types of pools, which implied their status of power and just like the water, it was also their last line of defence They would, if necessary, get the protection froma to be able to continue their lives In their history, also, there wasn't a ti this kind of strategy
The Fire Tribe ate cooked food, easily done by theh to catch their own food But…Many of theht food from lower people or went to an inn
When soree of depending on how much power the child was born with At a time, the Fire Tribe were extremely worried as twin noble children had been born and the volcano erupted with so ma that the people scurried away for a time in worry The dark black cloud, that cae for thole days, before it started to dissipate
On one side of each tribe, they would seeht Yet, on the other side, it was a barren, desolate earth wasteland Defences were up, even though there weren't any fights that occurred It was a big, vast place that would take many weeks to cross, perhaps even an entire year, it was uncertain
That was the land that the two great tribes knew of, for thousands of miles Even nomads didn't know of much more then thisIt was like a desert, there was a whole lot of nothing and…Both tribes had no desire to venture into it
What was fact…Was that they rarely had to worry about spy’s in their bases Everyone knew that they each hated each other that , made them feel sick!
And thewas…Why weren’t they ie volcano…
It was unknown to Loralle of what truly happened to both her ins and even though she was the late tribal leader's daughter, they didn't treat her as such
At the tieance and Loralle was left on the cold earth, that was being heated by fire from her mother and dampened by the water that was the connected power of her father
For a brief time, she had been abandoned, until her mother was killed by three people For these three people, they were the Water Tribe’s protectors, John, Sa caused their leaders death, and thatShe also had the blood of their enemy!
The protectors had never liked their leader’s idea of co powers, as it seemed absolutely blasphe the fire poith their oater power ed so soeous!
The last words of Dracon had stopped the protectors fro Loralle on the time of her birth
But it was since her birth that Loralle had to learn to endure many hardshi+ps, alone
Having the protectors accompany her, they had kept others away and rarely treated her like a huive her water,her co soh to be with the Water Tribe, is what the protectors thought, even talking to them was too much! They, themselves, didn't even wish to be near her!
She lived a to feed herself with scraps and she went a long time without a lake to cover herself
With silence overflowing in her life, Loralle rarely even thought thoughts Her watchful eyes made her act naturally and in basic instinct, for food and water to lead her to survival
For being abused and without being taught, Loralle thought this was normal…So now, her survival instincts beca part of her life
The protectors decided that she should be brought up to be the least lady like as possible, so that the Water Tribesmen would come to think of her as a leader, when that day would arrive
They didn't show her about brushi+ng her hair, estures, so that she would more so come across as a man But, to some extent, this was also an excuseTo stay away from her
Perhaps, all this poor treatht Loralle, her first power of earth
The power of earth wasn't even a myth, it was unheard of Even in the histories froo, that were safely kept, there was still nothing about the power of earth
Due to her isolation from everybody, Loralle took it upon herself to make the earth her friend instead It never spoke back, but as she could use it, she would always nod her thanks She knew that it see her and that it seemed quite happy to do so!
Even, to what seemed to be her people, didn't help her With this, she was able to find out, by accident She was just starting to use her pohen she wanted to see others nearby Having her hand on the earth, at that time, the earth showed her others around her in her own head
It was that astonishi+ng to her that she took her hand away and ran away in a flash!+
Run, Jump, Run and hideThe protector's lost her
She thought that she was drea awake but she tried a few days later and spied on the protectors, ere huffing and panting, and found that they had never left her…They were just hiding
Not long after, she could tell through their words, that people close by seemed to be the people she should know…But she didn’t know them because the protectors kept them away on purpose
So, Loralle started to fors into her head and was able to start thinking for herself She beca the protectors help for survival any after herself But she was, indeed, very compassionate towards her power
The three protectors were quite astonished at her powers It was neither that of water or fireBut of earth?
Was it possible that another power could be found and used?
Even knowing about it, though, they still had no urge at all to learn anything more about it
They had never told her how to use the power of water, even after several years of following her Yet, she had learnt so totally different
They had no words to her amateur earth built ho her use another power that wasn't their own, seemed to sicken them, but they were bound by strict orders and soThey could never kill her!
Through their constant sickness, they continued to endure!
They stopped getting in her way, of s harder for her, and continued to watch her froh, this may also be yet another excuse, just to stay even further away from her
Even though the protectors had left her sight, she stayed away from others They wondered if it was a habit? Or did she not like other people?
What they had failed to see was that she didn't even know that they were no longer hindering her fro other peopleThey didn't tell her They didn't feel obligated to tell her
Loralle had been deprived of a parents love and friendshi+p her whole life thus farThey were unsure how to continueShould they bring her back to the village instead? No! She has the blood of the enemy!
They orried about her upbringing as a leader, yet, couldn’t fathom her closer to the Water Tribal members…
It really was quite a predicament for them!
But, as tiirl, then into a dirty looking, young woman Her clothes were always tattered, but covered the curves of her body, her brown hair was always a mess and she had eyes that seemed as deep as an abyss Dirt seemed to always cover her fair skin and she see the protectors lose her quite a few ti her like this, they kne, that it would be too late to invite her back into the tribe…
Her hter, that she seemed to be closer to an animal
And those who saw a gliender she was So, to one point that they had set to achieve, it happened!
The three protectors slowly gained respect towards her, through her powers Even though it still made them feel sick, they had never met someone as powerful as her ever in their whole lives
They were also sure, that in the past, there was never someone so powerful then either Her poere i towards them, that they felt that they had to bon before her
Not only thatBut she had learnt all her powers by herself, giving them the idea that she was quite a talented, smart person
ExceptSos that made them wonder
