---
In the Northern Water Tribe, the chief is the chief, but he has a dozen council elders that help the chief rule the tribe, one could make the analogy that the chief himself is the emperor or king and the elders are the ministers.
So, you could say that I beat up and humiliated the son of the Minister of Defence... of course, they wanted to punish me, but Master Pakku stood up for me, telling me that, firstly, I'm a pretty strong mage, having defeated Pakku himself, and he's like the strongest mage of the Northern Tribe here. Secondly, I'm a friend of the Avatar, and fighting with the Avatar is obviously not a good idea. And thirdly, I defeated Hahn blindfolded and blindfolded, without using any weapons, while Hahn himself had no restrictions, so the problem is not me, but Hahn and his weakness. Hahn's father was not interested in these facts, he only wanted to take revenge on his favourite son's abuser. The whole scandal at the Northern Tribal Council lasted until Yui's birthday, but the chief sweet-talked the elders into thinking that he still wanted to marry his daughter to Hann.
For Yui's birthday party, Korra and Katara had decided to dress up a bit, so today they had taken an early break from Master Pakku's class and gone shopping in the local shops. When my hand had healed enough, I decided to practice before making a necklace for Yui, and started making gold and silver coins of the Water Tribe, so we now had enough money for various expenses.
As practice showed, I can manage a small amount of molten gold or silver with a fair amount of jewellery, but I still can't really use it in battle, I can do much more with ice now, but anyway, this is at least some progress, showing that I'm on the right track.
I decided to make a necklace for Yui out of silver, as gold didn't go well with her silver hair. And when making diamonds out of coal, I learned how to colour them. So, if I pump ice Qi into the diamond while it's cooling, the diamond ends up blue. If I pump life energy into it, it turns green. And if I don't touch it in any way, after it cools down, it becomes transparent, but if I pour a little fire Qi into such a transparent diamond, it turns red. I think I'll use the gold and green diamonds to make a piece of jewellery for Suyuki.
I made my gift for Yui by myself, while Korra and Katara bought her gifts while shopping. I waited for my sisters to return before going to the celebration.
- Katara, you look like a real princess of the Southern Tribe now, and I could walk you down the aisle right now. - I said, looking at Katara, who had a new hairdo in addition to her clothes.
- Thank you, Hela, you also look like a prince in that black suit. - replied Katara.
- Will you compliment me? - Korra asked with a smile, she also looked beautiful, but, in fact, she replaced all her usual clothes with the analogue from the Northern Tribe, so the general style of her has not changed, only on the clothes appeared different ornaments inherent in the Northern Tribe.
- But you could have tried harder. - I replied.
- Korra's sense of style has always been bad. - said Katara.
- Hey, it's okay with my sense of style, I just didn't want to dress up prettier than the birthday girl, it wouldn't have been nice of me... eh, did I really dress badly? - Corra looked around sceptically.
- It's fine, you're beautiful as usual, it's just that you're used to this style and Katara has changed her style completely. Well, you're both incredibly beautiful, let's go already, because I wouldn't want to be late for the party. - I took out a box of gifts for Yui from my pocket, -You bought the gifts, right?
- Yes, I got earrings and Korra got a bracelet. - Katara replied, 'You know, it's nice to spend money, especially when you have a place to spend it on, but we don't have many shops in our village with nice clothes and jewellery.
- Or rather, there aren't any. - Korra corrected, 'Still, after I finish this Hundred Years' War, I'd like to rebuild the Southern Tribe, maybe even ask the Northern Tribe for help.
- Huh, that'll be interesting to see. The Southern Tribe and the Northern Tribe have too different mentalities, one values security, the other freedom, and as it happens, the two are mutually exclusive, you're either free and deal with all the problems yourself, or you're not free, and then the state solves all the problems for you. Oh, Korra, stopping the war is only the beginning, the most interesting thing will begin afterwards, when you will have to deal with all the consequences of this war... yes, I don't envy you. - I said with a big smile on my face.
- Why are you smiling? - Korra asked.
- I'm glad you're the one who has to deal with this mess, not me. - I replied, and we were just entering the palace, and we were directed to the main hall where the celebration was being held. Yui was already sitting at the main table, but she was not happy about it, because now that she was of age, she would have to marry Hannah, and if she had accepted that before, she had seen better options since our arrival.
- Oh, the Avatar and her crew have visited our feast, we are honoured. - said Chief Arnuk.
- And we are honoured that Princess Yui invited us. - replied Korra, 'And we have not come to you empty-handed. - The three of us came over and gave Yui three boxes. Yui first opened the small box with earrings, then a slightly bigger box with a bracelet, and the last box with a necklace.
- Wow. - Said everyone who saw this necklace, and I did my best on it. The necklace looked like a silver bezel, with a huge blue oval diamond in the centre, five more large diamonds dangled from the bottom, eight large round diamonds were at the back of the necklace, and three small diamonds were inlaid near the central large one. In all the diamonds, I specially created a lot of small defects, they refracted the light from inside the stones, creating the effect of a starry sky encased in precious stones, in the centre diamond, I used these internal defects to create an image of the moon, because the name 'Yui' means 'Moon', and the Moon Spirit helped her survive after birth.
- It's beautiful. - Yui said, and took off her wedding necklace that Hann had given her and put on mine.
- As beautiful as the moon. - I said with a hint of both the heavenly luminary and the girl herself.
The fact that the princess accepted my necklace and replaced Hann's with hers was seen by many people, including Hann and his father, as well as all the other elders and a bunch of guests.
- Yui. - Chief Arnuk said through gritted teeth.
- What, Father? - Yui looked at the chief.
- Nothing, we'll talk later. Thank you for such valuable gifts...dear guests. - The chief looked at me... he didn't feel any negativity towards me, it was just that my actions were causing him problems, and in Arnuk's eyes he wished we would get out of the North and not cause him any more problems when he already had plenty.
- I'm glad you like them. - I replied with a smile, and sat down at the nearest available table with Korra and Katara.
- I don't remember you giving such gifts to your girlfriend Suyuki. Or since she's not a princess, she doesn't need anything like that? - Katara asked.
- Do you care about Suyuki that much, or are you just jealous that I don't give her gifts like that? - I asked.
- Of course I'm jealous. This necklace is simply divine... I'm ready to steal it from Yui at night, and fly with it to Bing far away from the north, to get it forever. - replied Katara.
- I'll help you steal it, and we'll take turns carrying it. - said Korra.
- One day me and one day you? - Katara asked.
- Yes. Korra nodded.
- Deal, we steal it, and then we leave. - said Katara.
- You're not serious, are you? - I asked, and the girls looked at me as seriously as possible, - Oh these girls, for the sake of a beautiful trinket are ready to commit a crime. Here, and be quiet, I made you rings, if you are in mortal danger they will protect you with an icy cocoon. - I put two silver rings on the table, densely decorated with blue diamonds.
- Okay, we'll keep Yui's necklace. - Katara took one ring and put it on her finger, 'It looks nice.
- That necklace was made by Hela, just like this ring. - Korra put the ring on her finger too... two naive arctic simpletons, you are now officially mine, ha ha... ahem, - Did you use magic to make them? - The Avatar asked, but besides being an Avatar, she was a girl and liked pretty things.
- Yes, with Metal Magic I can control molten precious metals, and with Lava Magic I can create gems from literally nothing. And for the record, I plan to make a whole set of gold and green diamond jewellery for Suyuki. First, I'll dress my Suyuki in beautiful jewellery, and then I'll undress her and play with her all night long. - I said dreamily.
- Your wife will be lucky, she will always be able to walk around in various expensive jewellery. - Katara said, looking at her ring.
- If anything, I'm not against polygamy, I just have to get Suyuki to do it, but I already have a plan. - I said.
- Oh, so you have a thing for Yui after all, huh? Me and my sister too? - Korra asked.
- It's all voluntary, if Yui wants to be with me and not be embarrassed by another girl, I'll be very happy, but if she wants to marry Hann, there's not much I can do. And I'm not forcing you and Katara to do anything; you can find boyfriends tomorrow, it's your choice. - And, of course, I'd love you two to be my wives. - and by wearing these rings you've signed a contract with the devil, now you're all mine and I won't let you go.
- You want a lot. - Korra replied naively, to which I smiled.
- Aha, look how royal he is now, he wants a harem. - Katara said grudgingly.
- Well, this is my life, and I want to spend it surrounded by beautiful wives. And you can have a harem of boys. - I replied-though what's the point of a bunch of weak-willed dolls? A man wouldn't be a man if he agreed to that.
- I don't know, I'm not interested. One faithful, loving bloke would be enough for me. - Katara said and looked at me sadly.
- Hmm... I could probably get a couple of boyfriends, I'm the Avatar, I could even get some brothers, maybe even twins. - Korra said with a dreamy smile.
- Well, I'll get a couple of them, too,' she said. - Katara added, looking at me again, clearly wanting to jab me with that statement.
- You're admitting that having multiple life partners isn't a bad thing, so don't judge me for my desires.
- Of course we're going to judge you, because your desires include my sister and me. - said Korra.
- Yes, we will judge you and discuss you. - Katara confirmed.
- Your right. By the way, how is your Water Magic training going? - I changed the subject.
- Grandpa Pakku is very pleased with us, and we like to learn magic from the master... no offence, Hela. - Korra replied.
- There are quite a few techniques in Water Magic, some of which even Grandpa Pakku struggles to perform, but he says they were much easier for him when he was younger. He showed Korra and I the most advanced octopus technique, where each water tentacle is filled with sharp ice shards and twisted at great speed into water vortexes that turn into a multitude of water-ice drills that tear and grind enemies into mincemeat. Water magic is so interesting. - Katara said enthusiastically.
- Did he tell you anything about Blood Magic? - I asked.
- Blood Magic? - Korra asked.
- Well, a human being is more than half water. Blood, lymph, and other fluids in the human body can be subdued with the help of Water Magic, and this skill will be called Blood Magic. I know how to freeze all the fluid inside a person, it kills him in an instant, I do not use this ability, because I do not like to kill, and this ability does not give any chance of survival. But I think Blood Magic would be useful to not kill the enemy, but just a wave of the hand to knock out the enemy at a distance, or another option, the enemy holds a weapon at the throat of your loved one, you take control of his body, and release your loved one.
- Hmm... Blood Magic, I'll have to ask Grandpa Pakku about it, though judging by the name, I have a feeling it would be forbidden in Water Mages. - Katara said thoughtfully.
- Look, what's with Yui's fiancé? - Korra asked, pointing to the guy who was staring at me with an angry grimace, but suddenly jumped up from his chair as if ice needles had grown on his chair and pricked his arse. Hahn said something to his father, and pointing at me, decided to come towards me, but suddenly he stumbled and sprawled on the ground, not trying to get up again. When his father went to check on his son, it appeared that Hann had passed out. The Elder also gave me an angry look and decided to approach me with obviously unfriendly intentions... but he too tripped and fell, not getting up again.
- Oh, it seems that tripping and falling in the same place is a family thing. - I commented, knocking out two people at a distance with magic, - See how useful it is to be able to freeze liquid inside people at a distance.
- What did you do? - Katara asked.
- I froze their feet for a moment to make them fall down, and also froze a couple of their arteries for a moment to make them unconscious. - while the chief was sorting out his future son-in-law and brother-in-law. When he was sure they were alive, he looked at me intently, and I smiled back.
- Oh, Hen, you must have inherited a little of your father's angry nature. - Katara remarked.
- I have, but you haven't seen my sister yet, she's Daddy's little girl, you won't find such a mean girl anywhere else in the world. - I watched as one of the women healers tried to bring Hannah and his father back to consciousness, but I couldn't do it near me, so to knock them out again, all I had to do was wish.
My interference with the body is minimal, I just know the critical points where I need to apply those minimal forces to knock a person out. It's like with warships, they're huge and armoured, but I attack their vulnerabilities and disable them easily.
Hannah and his father were carried away from the party, and continued the evening in honour of the birthday girl.
Soon Bing Si Feng flew in to join me, we didn't need her help right now, so she flew to eat fruit on the nearby islands.
- Guess what I saw when I flew from the islands to you? - Bing asked a question.
- Fire Nation ships sailing to the North Pole. - suggested Katara.
- Yes, but there were a lot of them, about seven or eight dozen, almost all of them were small ships, but there were a few big ones. - replied Bing Xi Feng.
- Did they bring half of the Fire Nation's fleet to capture the Avatar? That's a lot of ships... unless they're planning to destroy the Northern Water Tribe at the same time. - I said.
- We should break the news to the Chief. - Korra said.
- The ships are far enough away that it will take them another four days to reach you. - Bing added.
- So, let's say there are eighty ships, it takes about eight minutes to completely disarm one ship, so that's six hundred and forty minutes, or almost eleven hours, not counting the time it takes to move between ships... So I'll have to kill this flotilla almost all day. Although, I have a reserve of energy from the volcano now, maybe everything will be faster. - I've been calculating in my head.
- Are you going to fight an entire Fire Nation fleet by yourself? - Korra asked.
- Well, I'm their prince, and I'm responsible for what my subordinates do, and they obviously want to commit genocide against the Northern Tribe, just like they did against the Air Nomads.
- We need to tell the chief about this threat, it's not worth it to put everything on you, and anyway, I'm the Avatar here, I can help you. - said Korra.
- You're an undertrained Avatar, and if you die, you won't have time to learn.... Okay, I'm gonna go get ready. - I stood up and walked past the chief's table and addressed the birthday girl:
- I'm sorry Princess Yui, my phoenix has given me some urgent news and I have to excuse myself immediately, I'm sorry. - I muttered.
- What's wrong? - Yui asked.
- The Avatar will tell you now. - I answered, and left the room, while Korra and Katara began to tell the chief about the approaching Fire Nation fleet.
