《AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER FANFICTION: RETURN TO THE EARTH》Book 1: Origin CHAPTER 10. ARENA
Advertisement
In front of me is this world´s version of Aizen. How could I stay calm? By instinct, I used my earthbending to trap him. I even managed to do so. This did not make me calm down at all. I because even more terrified.
(What are you doing?) Ozai said with a smile on his face. Seriously stop smiling. You are making this even worse than before.
I could not answer him. There are only two of us in here. Normally I would hold control over the situation but I feel myself losing it with accelerating speed. I must regain control no matter what.
(Sorry about that. I indeed am the person who you talk about. I apologize for acting this way. I reacted by instinct. I will release you.) Shamo
By allowing myself to be the one saying and releasing makes my control rise. If he had ordered me before then I would have been in even greater danger. Maybe he can not order me since I am Firelord´s guest.
(Do you think you can just go with that? I might be a high-ranking person here.) Ozai was not keeping a smiling face any longer.
(I know you are in high ranking position. You are moving in high confidence in this place. There is no way you could not be one. I got the feeling that you are the source of this information.) Shamo
I have figured out the girl´s voice was Azula´s. I had some hope that I was wrong but I was correct.
(My child saw you fighting and to be honest I doubted her judgment. I have to apologize which is rare to me. You should be proud. Not many have made me apologize to somebody.) Ozai
(I do not know should I be happy or afraid about it.) Shamo
(You even have good instinct. I want to have you more and more. Now. Tell me. How can I get you under my services and only to me?) Ozai
(I do not think there is a way. I do not know if a woman could do it since I hardly have any woman contact in my life.) Shamo
(You do not have any friends or servants who are girls?) Ozai
(If I compare people my age then my only friend is a girl. Others are rivals at best and I do not have servants.) Shamo

(Strange. I had a good feeling that you were similar to me. Well. No one could be perfect.) Ozai
Ozai thinks that I am similar to him. Maybe I should weigh my life choices more closely and seriously. Where could I have gone in the wrong direction?
Strange. My nervousness has disappeared. ####! I should stop thinking with the word ”strange”.
(Back to the point. I want you to be a practice partner to myself and to my children. We from royal families rarely can experience earthbending. I would like to have your idea which of my children is more talented with leading people. It would be good to get one unbiased opinion.) Ozai
(That actually sounds interesting but I will go with my own rulers. I want to make everything go well with my skills. For that purpose, I want to freely modify the training ground to my advantage and not to their advantage. How many children do you have and How old are they?) Shamo
Ozai gave me a big smile. This smile was a real one. (I have two children eight and ten years old.)
(I have a perfect idea of what I am going to do. Can I use the ground in that direction?) I pointed to the pond. I do not think he is going to allow it but it is close to my room which is convenient.
(You are welcome to use it as much as you like.) Ozai
(Great. In that case, invite them the next morning to go there together. It is important that they will come together. I am ordered to stay here until tomorrow since Firelord will make his decision on what he is going to do to me by then. This will keep my mind out of the thing so thank you.) I gave a small bow to him and started to run to the ground.
This is going to be fun. I know their habits and personality. I can make them each other's enemies while I enjoy the situation. How many can say they have played Azula and Zuko around at the same time. They will be humiliated.
At these kinds of the moment, I notice that I am a sadist.
The bending arena which Shamo was planning to make was like this. Two gates, three divided zones, shielded pond, and touchlines. The goal for siblings is to get from gate 1 to gate 3. Naturally, that will not be easy.

Zone 1 rules. Earthbender can only harass opponents with small rocks or sand. The opponent can not step outside the touchline.
Zone 2 rules. Earthbender can only push the opponent backward outside the zone and same rules in zone 1.
Zone 3 rules. Earthbender can only push sideways outside the touchline.
When the opponent steps outside they will be penalized with 1 minute and if no opponents are in the area then the game is over.
Earthbender can move and bend anywhere. Firebender can only attack when entering from the gate and attacks can not come behind the gate. The pond is covered by an earth dome which can not be attacked or used except by earthbender. The Dome height is over three meters.
Opponents can enter through gate 1 any time when penalty time is over. The opponent can go outside the arena without being penalized by gate 1.
Author note: I hope the ruler where simple to understand. I can be more explicit if you want to. Should I place the picture as a cover page for this story?
Late at night.
I brought many rocks, sand, and fractured earth to my use. There will be plenty of natural traps which I can activate with a moment's notice. I manage to earthbend trees away from the area to the side. That process was the hardest part.
Turtleducks could not sleep while I worked but it came with a use. They can sleep when ”training” starts tomorrow. I doubt they mind when the dome will cover the light from outside. I have made sure that dome will me sound proved. It will be my strange way to apologize to them.
I wanted to go to sleep but I had promised to keep. So I started to write. When I was finished I knocked on the door with a wand. The door opened and a knowledge seeker fox entered inside.
(Here you go. There are this week´s written books to Wan Shi Tong. Here is your treat.) Shamo
I gave him one piece of ham if it can be called ham since animal made from it eats meat. It is disturbing. I just can not eat it.
Knowledge seekers come to me once a week to get notes from me to the library. Normally Wan Shi Tong will not allow mortals to come to the library when they have been once there.
He made a deal with me sent knowledge from my world. In inventions but entertainment knowledge. I am writing The Star Wars series as closely as I can. Wan Shi Tong was interested in the idea of force. He has become addicted to it. I hope I could start writing the next one. I want to write The faraway paladin since it is my favorite book. The stupid owl was not interested in the idea but he agreed if I finish the Star Wars. Hopefully, I can deceive him by saying it was a trilogy.
I finally went to sleep.
Good thing I was a morning person.
(Good morning earthbending student.) I collapsed earth walls surrounding me.
I became embarrassed since Zhao was looking at me with soulless eyes.
(Please forget that ever happened.) Shamo
(Sure.) Zhao
It was a terrible morning. I had a feeling that I woke up with the wrong leg first. It does not add since I had both legs on the ground when I woke up. I am trying to get the seismic sense with this method. No luck.
Why is it this hard for me? Even Aang succeeded and he was terrible at it. Why does it not work for me?
(Zhao. I have mentioned the seismic sense technique to you?) Shamo
(Shamo. There is no point in trying forcefully to learn things that only one person can do. You should forget about it and go outside. You do not want to be late. I found out the person you met was Prince Ozai. You can not be late if he is going to watch it.) Zhao
(Let me at least eat something first.) Shamo
Pond arena.
Zhao and I were the only ones here but it did not take long…

8 153A Tale of the Ages: Gods, Monster, and Heros
The past get's forgotten. Or so they say. Maybe they're right. Even the gods forgot the beginning, the reason it all started. But I refuse to forget, even if I'm driven mad by the memory. Salvation? It's pointless. No one is worth saving, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth helping. No one is a plaything, but everyone's a pawn in this game. I hate it. Who's playing? I don't know. I don't even know what the game really is. I gave up on figuring that out after a time. What I do know is that I want to tell you all a story. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end, as any good story should. But, I really don't think you'd keep listening if I told it in order. So, we will start at three points; you'll have to figure out where they are in the overall story. The story of Hal and instinct, a pair so close that they might as well have been one. The story of The Husk, a creature on a hunt that would span generations. The story of Mask and a hero. How one will come to learn of the other's past and the many faces they had. Do you know where you stand? Do you side with the gods, the hero, the demon king, the experiment, the cursed, the blessed, the monsters, the forgotten? Well? I know. You don't know anything yet, so you can't say. So, enter our world, and find out what side is what.
