Power
Comfort…The old woman lost in the world of red finds blue again and thinks, just maybe, there is hope.
Soft…Her tone is soft and familiar, and so mother-like that the young waterbender can’t but help lowering her defenses once more; this time will be different.
Innocence…Old eyes meet young and she knows that though the girl has felt much, she still has a lot to learn.
Fear…The woman turns away only for a second before sharp gray eyes meet the blue ones once more, goosebumps running down the younger’s arm.
Wind…The air is still only for a second before it starts; the battle between two masters.
Speed…A flash and the girl sees with shock that though the woman is old, she moves with the timeless grace and velocity of someone much younger.
Confusion…Her friends step into the scene mid-battle and surprise flickers on their faces for only a second before they cede control of their bodies.
Pain…She feels her strength failing with every second that passes when suddenly her eyes fall downward at the grass and finds grim resolve; it’s the only way.
Forever…The moon has never been fuller, but she cannot but help feeling empty, sick with repulsion at the power she has been presented with.
Breaking…Good and evil have faded away into the merciless gray that she sees now, and knows with certainty the weight of the lesson she has been taught.
