I've been reading Mercury's notes, and some things are very... unsettling. Maybe it's because of what happened in my universe three or so years ago. In any case, I don't like this feeling, and I hope it's not what I think it is. Albel, I know you agree with me

A contact sheet?

[arrowofapris]

A list of the Drafted and their abilities, compiled by someone named Sasuke. It hasn't been updated since, and I believe he isn't here anymore. I'd like to make a more complete and detailed list, as part of the information gathering service I promised Jing.

[banishment]

Oh. Yeah, that must have been from before I came here. I don't remember a contact sheet or a Sasuke. It's a good idea, though. Useful. And, since I'm not on there...

My name is Prince Zuko. I'm a firebender, which some here have called a "pyrokinetic." I can create and manipulate fire, as well as redirect lightning. I've also been trained in stealth, swordsmanship, hunting tracking people, and various forms of martial arts.

Duly noted. Thank you for your input, Prince Zuko. By the way, I'm Fayt Leingod. In my universe, I'm the chief researcher of the Runological Weapons Development division of my country, Aquaria. However, I was a soldier previously. I fight best with a sword, but I also know a little martial arts, and runology - which some call symbology or magic.

[banishment]

Impressive. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Aquaria or runology or know much of magic--though, bending is often mistaken for magic. It isn't magic, though. Just bending. I'm the crown prince of the Fire Nation and before coming here, I was working with the Avatar to remove my father from the throne.

[arrowofapris]

Not really. The circumstances simply called for it, and over time - through training and experience - I've learned to fight. My researcher side, however, is something I inherited from my parents.

Oh. I thought bending was magic... how is it done, then?
