章節 3: Kyoshi Island
2 years
my brother Zuko was born not too long after my birth, along with my dear sister, Azula who seemed to stick to me like glue.... while my brother admired me greatly...
i am bit narcissistic when i say this, but i had a refinement about myself, along with a sense of majesty, befitting a prince of the fire nation....
my father, was obsessed with me, his eyes no longer saw my brother or my sister, as the talent i displayed... was....
....
i moved slowly, as i faced father, crimson lightning manifested as circulated my chi inside my body.... than i reached forth striking a pose... as i created flames in the palm of my hand, a large ball of fire, circulated around me, as if it was alive... turning into a dragon....
lightning danced within and around the dragon... as it continued to grow with each breath i made... .
its crimson eyes looked forth at my opponent.... and glared menacingly... with its black eyes....
[ Dancing fire-storm dragon ] its body was long like a serpent, and its wings were massive...
my father ozai, had a maniacal smile on his face... as he looked at this move...
mixing fire and lightning? and the ability to do was astronomical....
i was but three years old... and i was already performing incredibly complex and indepth bending, that i was revolutionary....
"Roar for me..."
using the dragon as a catalyst, with each breath more lightning was generated inside the flames... think of the flame, as clouds, creating friction with each breath... and it doubles with each one....
it was a science, as well... the chi, the control, required increidibly fine control, and the chi enormous... luckily my immense talent that i wished for was endless, and i was improving even now, by leaps and bounds....
my brother and sister, along with my mother, looked on from the edges of kyoshi islands arena...
my mother had a worried expression on her face, while zuko and azula looked awed... azula especially had a look of deep in grained pride on her face... she seemed to vie for my attention as well, so to me, she wasnt scary enemy from the show, but a cute little sister.
"come!" ozai commmanded, beckoning me to attack...
he started to create lightning as he did a series of movements, both elegant, and simple... it was his most powerful move after all...
i did so, the dragon that around 6 meters long and 2 meters thick bustling with crimson flames and lightning
he fired off his lightning directly towards me... expecting this, i can already conjured a lightning from my chi, and and pointed my fingers towards the oncoming blast... and met it point blank!
blue and crimson lightning could be seen mixing for a moment in the air.... and than exploded in all direction, creating an electrical shockwave.... the wave, was attracted to my dragon, as it was advancing half way across the arena, and was absorbed the dragon, causing it to roar majestically... and open its maw, towards Ozai.... looking ot swallow him whole...
creating flames underneath his feet he jumped propelling himself into the air, as the dragon beneath his bit into the air, and than he blasted flames downward with his feet once more... proppelling himself even higher while attacking the flame dragon below... however...
the lightning travelled up his flames, and entered his body... while the dragon seperated into eastern dragons.... and danced up together twirling around each other, till they reached a paralyzed ozai in the air... and than.... once they reached him, they dispersed...
"looks like i win again, father."
i said, and smiled lightly.... i watched him drop onto the floor commically, head first...
*BANG*
the ground cracked beneath his weight, creaiting spider webbed cracks...
he flopped onto the ground..... with his butt into the air.....
than seeing this... i simply began to walk off, as my mother went over to help him up.... when she saw him, one could see the maniacal smile on his face despite the defeat....
she too left him paralyzed on the floor with his ass in the air....
as she was walking towards us, with a worried look on her face....
"nice one nii-san! could you teach me that move too?!"
azula had a look of pride on her face.... i was growing non-stop i could even use someone elses chii to conduct my lightning, i learned it just than
while zuko was more stoic... "that was amazing nii-san" i smiled towards them both, and began to pet their heads i smiled ever so slightly, as i did so..
my sister and my brother were my pride and joy...
Azula seemed to become incredibly pleased, while Zuko blushed slightly.... zuko is the youngest of us three....
we were all roughly a year apart respectively....
"come now, children... its time for lunch."
"yes."x3
we left our father there for him to recover on his own... stirring in his own thoughts....
....
after lunch... i spoke towards my brother and sister...
"how about i teach you both a weapon arts?"
their eyes lit up like stars...
"really?"
i spoke elequently... "of course, not only fire bending, the art of war i have already mastered.... this includes the use of weapons."
i wondered for a bit.... as i looked towards Azula... who seemed to have become inspired by my little speech...
"ill do that too!"
i smiled towards her....
"the art of war, is no simple task to master..."
we reached the training ground where a multitude of wooden, dummy weapons....
i picked up a wooden sword... "this is my favoured weapon. its versatility is unmatched."
i pointed towards the two guards at nearby in their customary, fire nation uniforms, and than i commanded them both...
"As your prince i command you, to fight me as if you were to kill me."
they seemed to blink, and a visible sweat drop formed behind their masks....
"but, prince Karna-"
"enough, fight me... show me the skill of the fire nations finest." indeed these were no normal guards, these were benders, and weapon masters, that were of the royal guard.
"very well... prince Karna."
one of the guards were about ot reject, and as they were about to place down their weapons, witch were spears... i held out my hand, as i got into a stance...
"come at me, with your full power, no dummy weapons. if i sense, that either of you are holding back, i will be sorely dissapointed as your future firelord."
they gulped, their pride, no the entire royal family guards pride was no on the line since he said those words....
"very well, Prince Karna."
they got into the ring... they began to circle around me, as they poised themselves.... wielding their spears, flames sparked on their spears... around their hands....
while i simply wielded a normal wooden training sword....
they attacked at the same time, aiming for my torso, this match... while not intentionally to the death... one wrong move on my part, could cause a fatal move... and they knew it... however, no matter how one thinks pride is more important than ones life in some cases....
and they had heard of me before.... and seen me train with the fire lord ozai...
so they poised their weapons and stabbed forth torwards my torso... at the same time and at full force...
i jumped with just my natural strength... and landed upon to the two poles... running across the first one.... i brandished my blade... and sliced towards the neck of one of them... however he brought his pole up, and blocked the strike..... as he projected a large steam of flame, as he opened his hand....
using my strength, i bent my knees, and jumped...
flipping around in the air... and than landing on my feet once more...
i looked towards the two royal guards, and smiled...
glancing towards my siblings, Zuko and Azula, were in completely different positions, and showed a different attitude to the closeness of this fight, that could mean my death at any moment.... specially with the weapons they wielded...
they wondered why i wasnt using my bending for a moment... but Azula spoke up as she had a large smile on her face, while Zuko clenched the railing... in fear for my safety...
"hes showing us the potential of weapons, how they are wielded, and used.... even aganst benders..."
she glanced over in slight disdain for her brothers worried attitude, as he was sweating as well... she touched her nose... "why are you so worried, we both know nii-san is going to win, with just his wooden sword alone aganst these battle hardened royal guards."
she held a mocking towards the poor fate of these guards that were facing her brother...
the odds were not in Karnas favour however ,that simply showed how much confidence and skill karna believed her had, or has... only this fight will tell them how much...
after the pause, the guards knew this became a serious fight after that first exchange...
they could see his skillful movements, and poise... they had to take this seriously.... sensing their doubt.... and the smile on the princes face made them doubt themsleves...
"come at me, with the means to kill." hearing this, their souls grew cold, and the command of their liege became the command of their souls....
they immeadiatly, charged towards me... mixing flames with spear... they projected forth a torrent of flames....
while i brandished my wooden blade... lurched myself, keeping my body low to the ground, i zig zaged and flipped through the flames, keeping just close enough that my body was merely an inch away from the flames... than as i reached the first guard, i spun with incredible speed, slicing towards him... but he deflected the blow with his spear, witch was steaming hot... and my blade ignited in flames, due to the heat....
'i have to finish this quickly...'
i spun again once more, and this time he moved to deflect it, as another spear stabbed towards me... moving my face ever so slightly, it went right past my cheek, and past my head... but my momentary plan had succeeded... my enflamed sword, was at the throat of one of them, than i jumped backwards.... and began to dance around the second guard, showing both skill and grace, as i finally sliced downward once more, but it was blocked by the shaft, and than i simply grabbed hold of it, and spun, pointing my sword at his throat in mid air...
the guards were both shocked.... as they looked at me, in reality, this seemed like it had taken a long time, but it happened in a matter of moments... a decisive victory, i cast my enflamed wooden sword aside... and smiled to my siblings... they were amazed, and awed... while Azula had a look on her face, 'thats my brother!' holding her head high, higher than anyone else...
as if it could get any higher... i made a -.- face as i looked at her... Zuko did too, mimicing me we both looked at each other... than at azula who now realised something was going on and had a 'what?' bubble above her head...
we both said nothing....
as i ignored it, and continued...
"never underestimate your enemy..." i said to them both, with a smile, returning to my normal calm and collected expression... and nodded in unison as they listened to me, showing that were indeed listening...
"and never overestimate your own ability... as for the weapons that recommend that you use...."
i picked up the duel blades and threw them to zuko... while i picked up the spear and threw it to Azula...
they both blinked when they saw the training weapons in their hands... as they caught them.
they both smiled.... in a different way...
Zuko seemed to be excited to trained by me, his admiration seemed to be blinding like a sun, while Azula's Love for me was great, she always wanted my attention, and her belief in me was immense....
Zuko loved me greatly as well, but we were brothers, he no doubt also held a mild jealousy towards me as well.
"come Zuko."
zuko made his way through the railing, and i began to teach him... "always remember, Duel blades, are of a greater whole, they move and attack as one."
and such the training began...
after i was giving pointers to zuko i ushered Azula over who had a ecstatic expression on her face...
"remember the spear is a versatile weapon, it is made to keep your foes at range, while you attack from safety at length-"
she listened closely, as i gave her pointers towards the art of the spear...
