'If i show them that iam a waterbender then their wariness may subside a little.'
' even if they don't don't trust me completely, iam sure they won't shoo away 16 year old young lad who just got rescued '.
"I don't know what happened chief but when I just woke up I felt a connection to the ice around me " i said with a confused expression
Taqukaq eyes widened and others also got suprised then he said "so you are a waterbender then?
" Wait did you just said you awaken your waterbending just now?
I shook my head "i don't know about awakening chief , even though i lost all of my memories , iam sure i haven't felt like this before "i said with a most innocent and clueless face.
'Now they were even more surprised '
' Is it because I awaken suddenly' or it because I awakened at this age?' i thought as I looked at them.
"Is anything wrong chief?" I asked him.
Taqukaq shook his head then he got up , "No it's just that awakening at your age is very rare , usually it happens before adolescence" he said while coming towards me.
I nodded in understanding , then he stood before me looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze for a few seconds ,
"So what you wanna do now ? He asked me with a small smile
" I don't know chief " I said with a troubled expression
After a brief moment I looked at Taqukaq with a sincere face " but one thing i know is that I won't go anywhere until I repay you for saving me" i said in a resolute tone.
(A/N: chameleon!)
( MC: hey! , i mean it)
( A/N: yeah, yeah)
Taqukaq was taken a back by my sudden shift of my tone and firmness .
Then he laughed and looked at me "oh, how are you going to repay me then?" Taqukaq said while crossing his arms , with bit of amusement.
I look blankly at him for a second , and scratch my head in an embarassment.
'I really don't have anything to repay him.'
Taqukaq chuckled then placed his hand on my shoulder and said "how about staying here, you may recover your memories while you train your waterbending , what do you say?"
'Finally' i thought
' I can see a halo 😇 on top of his head and white wings at his back' as i look at Taqukaq who is shining like a star
(A/N : finally, lost his mind)
'Now I can start my training arc' i thought and trying not to scream in joy.
"Thank you so much chief!" I said with a big smile
Taqukaq nodded patted me on my shoulder and said " okay Ryan! someone will take you where you can live and also you can join others in training from Tommorow"
"Okay chief , I will" I said while Taqukaq gestured the near by guard to guide me .
'I could join them in training now but , I need to test a theory first ' i thought as the guard lead me out of chief's house ,
Then towards one of the small ice houses and told me that I can live here from now.
Before he left ,the guard gave me a few 'blue coloured stones or coins to be exact , apparently this is nothernwater tribe currency.
These are round in shape, with a small hole in the centre just like a ring, it's weird seeing stones as currency.
I thanked him, then when the guard left,
i quickly tossed the coins a side,
Finally , I can do some bending , my heart is thumping , i clenched my hands in excitement then I took a deep breath.
And raised my still shaking right hand , slowly but steadily,then i did a upward gesture ,i can feel chi in my body react to my movement and my will then ,
A small ice chuck floated upwards from ground,
And I can feel the connection between the ice chunk and me, it's as if it is connected with a fine thread and fully under my control.
I can't help but put a wide grin on my face and trying not to shout in pure joy and excitement, as I was about to reshape the ice into diffrent forms,
Then suddenly ,a screen popped before me , I was stunned and the ice chunk I am controlling fell to the ground,
THUD!
I just stared at screen for a few seconds,
"is..is this system? i stuttered.
[ Name : Ryan
Abilities: water bending]
It's showing my water bending as my ability , but it's not showing any exp or some exp bar,
And it's also only showing only water bending , not as ice bending.
"Hmm, hey system?" i try to talk with system to check if it has consciousness or not , i waited for few seconds,
Nothing happened, it's showing the same thing as before.
After some shouting and saying things even I don't understand and even after I did some ice bending just like before.
it's still showing the same display.
Hmm, seems like it's just a display screen,
Sigh, even though it's not a system , it can still be helpful to keep track my abilities , when I travel to other worlds,
will it shut down?
"Now , shut down!" I commanded it , then it disappeared instantly. Wait how do i access it again?
"Status!?" i called out , and to my delight it showed up ,
"Nice " i exclaimed , then closed it again quickly , as i need to start my water bending cultivation.
First , I started by reshaping the small ice chuck into diffrent things like knife , balls, spikes , saucers.
After some bending or playing with ice,
I concentrated on the ice and channeled more chi, try to loosen the ice , then to my joy
the ice chunk turned into water easily.
Yeahh!! I shouted in excitement.
I thought turning ice into water will be a little challenging,but it seems to be wrong.
I know water benders start with water as it easy to bend then shift to ice.
Oh ,well iam not normal , I couldnt help but smile.
Is it because of my perfect body with my all energy compatibility? Oh thank past me, this is really helpful..
Then , i constantly turning the ice into water and vice versa, while changing their forms as quickly as possible.
Iam doing all this ,just by a little hands movements,it's as if the energy in my body is guiding me.
But this is just my own rough bending, I need to learn bending techniques to refine my water bending.
But the more i practice the more quickly , i able to transform the ice and water.
And one thing i observed is that my chi reserves in my body are absurd ,
I don't know how much chi a normal person have, but i think I won't run out of chi even if i bend all night,
I really want to bend in large quantity but I don't think it's good idea , because surely there might be someone watching my house ,
It's not like they will trust a outsider , and let him live in their tribe freely without monitoring.
Now if I start to bend water in mass,who knows what they might think of young lad who told them he awakened his bending just now.
Well, only for few days though , because iam sure they will realise i mean no harm.
NOW..cross ice and water , let's see if I can turn water into vapour ...
I bend a small blob of water infront of me , slowly channeled the chi, then try to change the water and its form just like did before, to expand its structure,
After a few seconds, I saw the water slowly turning into vapour with in no time ,
The small water blob infront of me turned into cloud of vapour , it's very volatile and if i stopped channeling my chi , it will directly turn into ice,
HAHAHA!! i laughed nonstop , i can literally change water into ice and vapour, it's still felt like dream to me.
And as i got unlimited stamina i don't need to sleep and my chi reserves not depleting any soon.
Then , like a madman I started my vigorous night out cultivation , of bending vapour , ice and water.
As the morning shines, i halted my cultivation,
Haa!! This is exhilarating, I really don't want to stop though,
I don't know how many times I turned water into diffrent forms , I would never get bored of it.
Oh well there is plenty of time ahead it's not like I will age anyway , I have all the time I wanted.
And there is one thing remaining to test...and of course it is ,
BLOOD bending.
Blood bending is really powerful and like a cheat ability exclusively to water benders.
You can bend blood in a person with it, control them, and seal their bending,
I will First try it on a fish, iam sure i can find fish here.
'two things you will see in this city , one thing is ice and the other thing is fish
I took the coins the guard gave me earlier and stepped out of my ice dome
While I buy fish , I will eat something,
Even though I don't feel hungry, it feels weird not eating anything for a full day , I will see what I can eat in this ice city.
