CHAPTER 7
The Metal Tribe
While Loralle was lost, draes occurred in the Water Tribe
They had been defeated to their last line of defence! And even though they were in their own territory, the Fire Tribe withstood against them
What stunned the!
The e had only been the first stop in their plan! The second step was building a trench to lead e, which had already been coun!
The third step included the advance and the es Before the news of Daniel’s third powerful child being born, they had already continued the es and onto the Water Tribe’s land!
After they advance yet again, they continued the trench again!
Now that the Water Tribe had been forced back into their own village, they were all distraught Their leader was gone! Their protector's were gone! The news of the Fire Tribe's next generation being more powerful could be true!
…Just outside, there was ma so close to them!
They had lost half of their population and most of as left omen and children…
Never…Would they have thought that they would be stuck like this!
The people were scared, even knowing about the deep lakes that they could escape in…
But, in the next few days…Even escaping into the lakes beca that couldn’t be done!
The rew and the Water Tribesmen watched as people even in puddles were burnt alive! The Fire Tribe were completely ruthless!
Of course, this needed a lot oftrench line, would spend hours constantly adding into the trench to keep it hot and flowing Sadly, for the Water Tribe, that was all they had to do now
There were noup one lake at a time
As the days went by, ma reached towards the inner lakes
One choice was made by a noble , and that was to vacate the Water Tribe
Once one person ran, others followed…Those who stayed behind either killed the their lakes
Several days later…The Water Tribe…No longer existed…
One year later
The Fire Tribe relished in the Water Tribe’s defeat They felt like the rulers of Mondal and that they had no adversary that could match them!
With their arrogance, they continued to be lazy and without a care Some had even taken residence on were the Water Tribe used to be, butthat what they wanted in life was already there
Daniel and Emily was looked upon as very important people within the Fire Tribe It was already known that Daniel, if his child is still young in age, was to be the next leader His brother hadn't cared beforehand, as he had been the first born and he had thought leadershi+p of the Fire Tribe would undoubtedly go to hi this taken from him, he became quite bitter He led those ere loyal to him, to where the Water Tribe used to be locatedand decided to becoood idea and let him do what he wanted
With all this news, there see within the people Whether it be a festival or sparring, ga merrily
Daniel was exhilarated to know that he had so much power now What he obviously preferred, like many of his tribal members, was to have a male leader instead of female
It had taken him quite a bit hter with Eured it out, he spent a lotso wholly favoured by Daniel, she became the head wife of Daniel and was respected everywhere she went When Daniel told E powerful was most likely because they were both accepted by the fire power, she was quite happy again about having been in relation to Loralle in the past The pain had subsided long ago, and there was no longer regret inside her now Daniel, not caring if others didn’t want to be accepted by fire, had his eyes set on E him the ht!
That wasn’t their only connection, Daniel had, all this time, continued to bathe in ater with E he had nowhere to go, and become a servant for Daniel, to supply him ater
It was atask to one who used to be a protector! But, he found that he could work for Daniel, unknowingly because Daniel had been accepted by the fire power On the rare occasion, where he would be bullied, hatred would come into his eyes when their fire poere used Hence, Rick only followed Daniel, as he was the only one he could tolerate
While Daniel was in the sky, and Rick was in hell…Loralle had finally overcome her stay outside of the Metal Tribe
For a very long ti But as ti the metal power, simply because of the fact that she was already there
Mostly, her decision was based on food, even though she was able to expand her diet to include birds now because of learning how the Air Tribe had eaten, she was still running out of food But, as she started to gain the ain
It wasn’t a good feeling, it was painful! But this pain seerily, her survival instincts surfacing as it seeain
Quickly after that, Loralle obtained what she could by being that far away from the tribe
Now, she was trying to think of a way in, of course, there were things she wasn’t thinking of, but she was finally thinking of so!
The Metal Tribe was different again, their personalities also They lived in caves overcoht in those caves, that wasn’t done by fire This is when she realizes that their population wasn't as s in caves!
Slowly, her curiosity grew
But what troubles Loralle, was how they would not seem to like an outsider
They were very tough, hard as rocks!
They could alsoor small but seeht each other up close She wasn’t used to seeing this type of combat, norot up closer and slashed their weapons!
And with their hard as rock, solid bodies, they use their fists and feet with their weapons
It was easy to get excited about their different techniques, but Loralle orried about entering their territory
The field she wanted to go into at soet there when she has so e!
Sighing, Loralle continued to ponder, not brave enough to just walk in on them
Daniel would have laughed at her for a long ti this news She is the most powerful person on the continent of Mondal and she was scared He would have called her pathetic!
But Loralle seemed unable to depend on her power like that If she were just to kill everyone, she should have done that a long tio, back when she became the leader of the Water Tribe
Loralle didn't consider herself the ale want to obtain different powers but it wasn't to be powerfulIt wasit for collection To be precise, she has the complete fire, air, water and earth powers, then half of the metal
ButIn her 'collection', she thinks she has about tenFor instance, one is 'The House Power' and another is 'The Pretty Power'
But yes, she is going to the Metal Tribe and she'll figure out a way!
It took a while to come up with an idea, because she had been on purposely not thinking of other things, but she re about to fly!
Unable to go under the ground, because that here the Metal Tribes above them instead! Haha! She couldn't help but think she was smart!
All this time, she hadn’t used much of her other powers and Loralle had to spend even et back into it for it had been a whole year or so that they had been dormant
As she finally got off the ground, using a strong force of wind below her feet, she s tiain
She was still currently weak, but finally, she looked like she was finally alive again!
Flying short distances for a ti while off the ground It was so a power!
When she was sure that she could control her speed and not fall, Loralle fleards the Metal Tribe village
As she got closer, the pain fro, Loralle hovered in the air, as she took a deep breath in
Not able to go further, she took a sitting position,sure that she continued the air power beneath her, so she wouldn’t fall
While she tried to obtain more metal power, a Metal Tribal member had found her and ran off to tell another
Not long after that, that person came back with others of the tribe Soon, ten people were looking up at her
”Shoot er down!” One said
A few of theot out a weapon and Loralle opened her eyes curiously
Not only because they were going to use soainst her butHad they said 'her'?
She wasn't used to people knowing her gender, it was quite a surprise!
What she couldn't see was, she really did look like a woman now, just that her clothes were a bit shabby
The weapon pointed at her and she found so fly towards her It was very quick, but now that she had been approved by the air power…So was she!
Her new agility quickly helped her fly to the side,the air move her, she watched as the weapon continued and went beyond were she used to be
These people can do long distance after all, she thought
But she wasn’t surprised to their aggressiveness When she looked back down at the people, they were shooting more at her
Loralle got a big angry, she wasn’t really here to kill anyone butIt was a strange feeling, being angry at them for only the reason that they shot at her, as it wasn't so that nor wasn’t because of these people at all She was still upset about…The past
Sighing, she flew off to think of another idea
A day passed and Loralle flew back into the Metal Tribe She quicklyout from it On top of the pillars, she made a little hut
Then she sat down and tried to obtain the ain
This tiry!
Their yelling and swearing at her, made others join in to do the same, and Loralle couldn’t concentrate
”Shut up!” She yelled angrily
But, they didn’t stop
More so, so to be heard
She got up and walked a step, to the edge of the hut, to find so towards the pillars beneath her
Her first thoughts were that of awe…But, she rehed Honestly, she could leave at any ti will do
Watching it stop before thebackwards, away fro noise
Curiosity overwhel to happen? She was nearly ju with fascination!
”Go!” Someone yelled
Another person hit so that was pushed back before, came towards one of the pillars below her hut When it hit the pillar, it shook the hut but it didn’t collapse
Knowing her poas doubled, she looked down to see a dint in the earth pillar
She laughed heartily They weren’t strong enough but their ood! She was sure now that they hadn’t been accepted by metal , because if they had been, it would have probably been easily ripped apart with the power this metal could have had!
With her powers as they were, she was no longer scared of thee to play She hadn’t interacted with people for so long and she really wanted to know e metal power
”Ah, boss?” One of them said
”Yeah, I know…Again!”
Loralle stopped laughing and said, ”Wait! I do”
With that, earth ca that three of them did last time!
Silence filled the air as it quickly rattled into place
Then Loralle nodded her head, ”It ready, try again!”
They all looked at her in bewilder them defeat her?
”Go!” She said i the boss
Soain When it hit her pillar, Loralle nearly lost balance and she held onto the side of the hut
She laughed again and looked down at the pillar A bigger dent was forreider Metal was aht
”Ah, Boss?” Again, someone said
”Mmm…” ‘Boss’ replied
Loralle smiled and looked at the boss She pointed at the bit !”
Silence filled the area yet again Suddenly, the ‘Boss’ laughed ”Yeah, it’s great n strong!”
Floating down to the ground, with air surrounding her, Loralle’s eyes sparkled as she stared at it ”Metal, strong!”
The ‘Boss’ s!”
