Chapter 11

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After flying around for a few days, we finally landed in a large earth kingdom village. We all had high hopes that somewhere in this village there would be an earth bending teacher for Aang. Before we could begin looking, we decided to do some light shopping in the city's local shops. I bought myself a dagger as I had been looking for one for a while. None of the ones I had perused before caught my eye but this one was too beautiful not to buy. The handle was ornately carved in the shape of a dragon and was made from an amber-colored stone. The blade itself was sharp and about five inches long. The shop owner threw in a sheath for the dagger for half price and I walked out of the shop, excited to show Sokka my new weapon.

He was standing with Katara and Aang as they surrounded a green bag. Sokka seemed to be mulling over whether to buy it or not, "It's pricey, but I really do like it."

"Then you should get it. You deserve something nice," Katara tried to convince him

"I do, don't I? But no, it's too expensive. I shouldn't."

"All right then don't,"Katara and Aang began to walk away from the bag.

Sokka began to follow but immediately turned back around, "You know what? I'm gonna get it."

I was the only one who still stood beside him, "Alright."

"Wait, no I can't. What would I even use it for?," He stared at the bag longingly, "But it would compliment my eyes."

I sighed with impatience and grabbed the bag, walking over to the check-out counter, "I'll buy it then, it'll match my outfit."

Sokka snatched the bag from my grip, "What? No! I saw it first. I'm buying it," He slammed his money on the counter.

"Okay then," I raised my hand in fake-surrender and mentally patted myself on the back for my cleverness.

Aang had been handed a coupon for a Master Yu's training academy and now we all waited outside as Aang was inside, trying to determine if he could be his earth bending teacher. After only ten minutes of waiting Aang exited the building , "He's not the one."

"I think the boulder is gonna win back the belt at Earth rumble 6," we heard a kid who was exiting the academy remark.

The kid's friend shook his head, "He's gonna have to fight his way through the best earthbenders in the world to even get a shot at the champ."

Aang's eyes lit up as he jogged up to the two boys, "Excuse me! But where is this earthbending tournament exactly?"

"It's on the island of Noneya–none O' ya business!" The boys laughed as they walked away.

Sokka laughed as well, "Oh, I gotta remember that one."

I punched his side and nodded to Katara who seemed to have the same idea as me, "We'll take care of this."

"Hey strong guys, wait up" Katara exclaimed as we ran towards the two boys.

They immediately turned around and looked both of us up and down, an action that made me want to throw up, "What can we help you two little ladies with?"

"We were just wondering where earth rumble 6 was. Me and my friend here were really hoping to watch it tonight," I batted my eyelashes.

The boys blushed, "Well, earth rumble 6 is no place for two girls. Maybe we could show you two the sights of our city?"

"Oh really?" Katara smirked and nodded to me.

Katara immediately encased the two boy's feet with ice, trapping them. I unsheathed my dagger and held it up, "Now, tell us where earth rumble six is happening or I will not hesitate to do something reckless!"
