With the sun rising and Appa growling, everyone began to slowly wake up to a new day.
After Aang and Katara found Appa and Momo after going to search for them, Genji found them with ease, ending the day.
They sat around a campfire and talked, exchanging stories and making small talk.
Before long, everyone went to sleep and a news day had begun.
***
"Thank you for all the help, Huu," said Aang as he bowed in thanks.
"Don't mention it, us spiritual folks need to stick together," said Huu as he rubbed his naked belly with a laugh. "Right, son?"
Genji raised his eyebrows in surprise after seeing that Huu was looking at him. He scratched the back of his head and nodded with a smile on his face.
'The fuck… he… can sense my spirit?'
Aang looked at Genji in surprise before turning to Huu, the swamp man that controlled the vine monster.
"Bye! Stay safe everyone!"
Jumping on Appa with the aid of his Airbending, Aang waited for both Katara and Genji to board the Appa Express before taking off into the sky.
Nothing really interesting was happening and Genji was off thinking about Suki and the possibility of her being pregnant right this moment with his child.
He was so lost in thought that he didn't even bother to train in his skills, pondering what he should even say when he sees her again.
Katara, who always sits near Genji, noticed how Genji lost in thought.
'I wonder what he's thinking about…'
Focusing her gaze on Genji, Katara began think about her vision as well. Wondering whether her brother was doing okay wherever he was right now.
She wished to tell him just how strong she had become and how skilled she had become in Waterbending.
On top of Appa's head, Aang set the course to the Earth Kingdom.
***
A large dark gray cloud covered the sky and darkened the entire land. Various houses and people were subjected to nature's darkness.
Water droplets fell from the sky, heavily onto the people and land.
Everyone rushed into their homes, sheltering themselves from the heavy rain.
Outside of a castle, Sokka was training fiercely despite the heavy rain. His face was serious and his hold on the wooden sword in his hand became tighter as he felt the cold seep into his body.
Various days had passed since he had first arrived here to train and become stronger. With the lack of socialization with his sister ever since he had been imprisoned, Sokka slowly began to lose his humorous side.
Luckily for him, his master, Piandao, was a gentle man and enjoyed the times Sokka revealed his inner clown. Preventing Sokka from completely losing himself in the seriousness.
Looking at Sokka from afar, Piandao could only shake his head at how Sokka was currently torturing himself. He had already heard from Sokka how he had killed a man.
Yet after hearing Sokka's story, Piandao didn't throw away Sokka nor did he treat him any differently.
"…"
Piandao grabbed his own sword and went outside before joining Sokka out in his training.
"Master…"
"What are you doing Sokka? Focus!"
With just a couple of words, Sokka and Piandao began to swing their swords and train under the heavy rain that was slowly dissipating, just like Sokka's loneliness as he felt himself be filled with warmth as he looked at his master.
Without knowing it, Sokka smiled and trained with more effort than before.
***
Soon, night approached within the Earth Kingdom's Gaoling.
Within Gaoling, one particular noble family, the Beifong Family, was celebrating the marriage of their Family's Princess.
"Toph, go sit next to your husband," said a middle aged man as he looked over at a young woman wearing a red dress.
"…"
Quietly, Toph moved to sit next to a young man with a solemn look on her face that no one saw.
Once Toph had turned 17, Toph's parents didn't wish for their daughter to spend the rest of her life all alone. And no matter how much the father adored his daughter, he resigned under unceasing threats of his wife.
Because their daughter is blind, the father and mother both searched for a husband on Toph's behalf.
"Look at her, she looks so beautiful," said Poppy Beifong, Toph's mother.
"Mm," nodded Lao Beifong, Toph's father.
Sitting next to the Beifong couple, was another couple, the parents of Toph's husband.
The Te Family.
"Mother-in-law. Father-in-law.
I will take great care of your daughter!" Wu Te said.
Lao nodded and his wife thanked him with a smile.
"Come let's go, let's leave the young people alone," said Poppy as she stood up and dragged Lao away. The Te family followed behind with smiles on their faces.
Once the two families left, Wu Te turned to look at Toph with a curious look on his face.
"Are you really blind?"
"… yes."
Toph frowned at Wu Te's question, but answered nonetheless.
"It must be annoying not being able to see anything," said Wu Te with a smirk on his face as he grabbed some hot sauce and poured it into Toph's drink.
'Heheh, let's see you freak out for a bit.'
Wu Te looked at Toph with a look of expectation waiting and hoping for Toph to reach out for the drink and finish it.
"Ah, yes. Very annoying…" said Toph, anger towards Wu Te slowly rising along with her disappointment and sadness.
From now on, she's going to be tied to this man, suffering. Feeling the sense of impending sorrow, Toph remained quiet under the incessant babbling of Wu Te.
Toph clenched her hands as she withstood the feeling of thirst and anger she had. Usually Toph was headstrong and wild, however, in front of her parents, Toph played the role of a well behaved and weak daughter.
When her parents heard from various doctors that their daughter is blind, Lao and Poppy both became overprotective, believing that Toph was extremely weak and needed help with everything.
Yet after all that, Toph instead grew and developed a new ability thanks to badger moles.
Through this new ability, Toph grew up to be a strong earthbender thanks to the 'teachings' and inspiration she got from the Badger Moles, nature's earthbenders.
With the absence of vision, Toph developed a new 'pair of eyes', seismic sense.
Through this sense Toph had developed and improved over the years since she gained it, she was able to 'see' how Wu Te had spilled something into her drink.
'Maybe I should just…'
With a light smirk on her face, Toph stretched out her hand towards the drink, much to Wu Te's joy.
A wide smile spread on his lips and joy rose within him. Joy that was quickly doused by a cold and spicy drink that was knocked over 'accidentally' by Toph.
"Argh! What are you doing?! Are you blind?!" roared Wu Te in anger as he stood up and cleaned himself as best as he could.
Yet as soon as the words left his mouth a grin spread on his face before he began laughing.
"Hahaha! But what am I saying, of course you're blind!"
A cold smile spread on Wu Te's face and he sat back down, cleaning the mess with a napkin.
Toph clenched her hands and wished she could glare at Wu Te's stupid face right at this moment.
Because of the loud music being played by the musicians invited by the Beifong Family, no one heard Wu Te's outburst, not even the nearby servants that were prepared to help at a moment's notice.
…
The party came to an end and the newly married couple, Toph and Wu Te, were sent to their room to consummate their marriage.
Looking at the tall and curvy figure of Toph in the red dress, Wu Te felt himself get hard. He licked his lips and approached Toph with a big shitty smile on his face.
"Stay back!" Toph angrily said as she sensed Wu Te approaching her.
Sensing danger from Wu Te, Toph prepared herself to use Earthbending at a moment's notice. Since she was no longer within the presence of her parents, Toph didn't mind using her Earthbending since it would be difficult to prove that she's a master at Earthbending.
At most, they could just chuck it to being a coincidence that Wu Te was harmed.
"I'm not going to hurt you~. You will just be turning into a full fledged woman," said Wu Te, his grin widening as he approached Toph.
Toph felt her body go tense at Wu Te's words and before she knew it, her body reacted and Wu Te was smacked in the head by a fist sized rock.
Thud!
With such a simple rock, Wu Te was knocked unconscious as he fell to the floor, letting Toph sigh in exasperation.
'What an idiot,' thought Toph as she performed a couple more moves, tossing the man to the bed with her earthbending.
Building a wall between her and Wu Te, Toph removed her red dress and revealed her beautiful bare body. With her beautiful light brown nipples exposed and her snow white skin out in the open, the only thing remaining on her body being black panties,
Toph tossed her red dress away before bringing out a new dress and wearing it.
This new dress was a white dress that had slits down the sides of the legs, revealing her strong and beautiful thick thighs. This dress hugged her figure tightly and revealed her slim but curvy hourglass body.
Before, Toph would wear pants and the like whenever she would sneak out to fight. However, under the constant influence of her parents throughout her teenage years, Toph grew to no longer dislike dresses and instead grew to like them because of how easy it is to move in them.
It was a bit more liberating compared to wearing some baggy pants.
Stretching a little, Toph removed the shoes her parents forced her to wear at home before jumping out the window.
Her destination, Earth Rumble, an arena where various people could fight against each other.
Earth Rumble was her favorite place to visit and let go. Her wild and headstrong tendencies explode and crushing her enemies with ease.
She felt liberated as she fought and did whatever she wished without anyone looking down on her. Toph was fiercely independent, sarcastic, direct, stubborn, and confrontational. She appeared to have the same carefree and adventurous personality as Aang and was very tomboyish in the way she acted and dressed, in contrast to the delicate doll her parents saw her as.
Toph loved battling and took great pride in her earthbending skills. She appeared eager to prove that she was as strong as anyone who could see and constantly claims that she is "the greatest earthbender in the world" due to the great confidence she has in her skill.
Like any other day, Toph appeared at Earth Rumble under the moniker she made when she was a young child, The Blind Bandit.
Then, with great joy as she released her frustrations, Toph felt the night fly by before returning home to sleep.
The next day arrived in just a couple of hours and Wu Te finally 'woke up' from his unconscious state.
"Ugh!"
Groaning in pain, Wu Te rubbed the back of his head before turning to look to the side and noticing a sleeping Toph.
Toph was sleeping soundly underneath the cover, her beautiful face filled such calm that just made one want to look at her sleep for a while.
"Hehe… you're mine now…" muttered Wu Te as he reached out and was just about to remove the bed sheet and reveal Toph's naked body when he heard a knock on the door.
Knock knock!
"Son-in-law? Toph? Come join us for breakfast," said Lao Beifong as he pressed his ears against the door of the room, hoping nothing was happening right now.
'Ignorant bastard! Let me defile your daughter!'
"Son-in-law? Toph? Are you awake?"
Angrily, Wu Te gave the sleeping Toph a glance before getting up and preparing himself to dress up when he realized that he never removed his clothes.
'Weird…' thought Wu Te, eventually just straightening out his clothes and heading to the door to greet Lao Beifong.
"Father!" Wu Te said respectfully as he looked at Lao Beifong with hidden anger.
Lao Beifong smiled wryly and nodded, "Wu Te…"
Peeking into the room, Lao Beifong tried searching for Toph and Wu Te followed his gaze, hoping to see Toph still in bed.
However, contrary to his expectations, Toph was already awake and dressed as she walked towards them with a light smile on her face and the same red dress from last night.
"Toph! Go with the servants, they have prepared the bath for you. Go bathe and change," said Lao Beifong with a serious look on his face as he sighed in his heart. 'Has my daughter become a woman now? NO!'
Turning to Wu Te, Lao Beifond frowned.
"Wu Te! Let's go have a talk whilst Toph readies herself."
