"Juli," Ten held my shoulder. "Come with us. The guys are waiting outside."

I didn't answer.

It's been three days and Hendery is still not waking up. No one was able to explain why he wouldn't wake up.

I blacked out for a while when Hendery— when the dark witch was using Hendery to get to me. The other guys said that my eyes were glowing with white light.

That's how I escaped him.

When I regained consciousness the guys were holding me, like they were trying to stop me from getting to Hendery. He was laying on the ground, blood trailing out of the back of his head.

The Avatar State, that's what Yuta told me.

The block in my mind is fading away slowly and that allows me to invoke the Avatar State. It is the most powerful and strongest ability that the Avatar can invoke, allowing the Avatar to channel the knowledge of the previous Avatars. Granting me strength and the ability to perform the most powerful and extraordinary feasts of bending.

But I need to master it so that I can control myself while I'm in that state. Another thing that I need to learn before the war.

"You need to eat." Ten sat on Hendery's bed next to his legs under the blanket. "More importantly you need to practice more moves today."

I knew my own responsibilities.

"You don't know when he's waking up." Ten said. "We don't know if he's ever..."

"Would you stop that?" My voice was shaking. "He's still fucking breathing, you guys talk like he's fucking dead."


"Is everything alright?"

Jaehyun got into the tent, and approached us in a calm manner. I think he noticed that I looked a little upset.

"I'll get my own food later." I said and looked away from him.

Ten exited, leaving Jaehyun inside with me.

"I'm sorry about Ten." He said. "I'll bring you lunch soon."

"Who's gonna train me later?"

"Me." He grinned before turning around leaving the tent.

The heat from the sun was piercing through every inch of my skin. I almost got burned a few times by Jaehyun.

Guess he wasn't holding back this time. Or was he? I didn't know. It was too soon for me to be able to fight any of the 127 in a fair battle.

I threw a kick of fire stream at him, hoping that it would be my final blow. He bent his body back in alert, which made him fall to the ground. Before he could get up, I quickly ran to him. As he was about to get up and face me, he stopped when he realized my fist was in front of his face.
