Sae looked out his window at the beautiful landscape. He saw the shining ice as the only source of heat covered it, the sun. He sighed and walked away. Sae was wandering off not knowing exactly where to go. He was always like this, unorganized and not being able to fully understand what he was doing. " Maybe I should get some tea..." He mumbled. He continued walking senselessly until he reached the old herbal shop. He entered the room and gazed at the amazing plants and ornaments around. He closed in on the desk. " Hello, anyone here?" he asked in a sort of 'loud' tone. He awaited an answer from any one and, finally, he heard a voice. " eh, who goes tha' ? " a voice asked. Sae looked sort of shocked since he didn't expect anyone. " Its a paying customer! " he replied. The old voice neared closer until the figure was visable. " how much, and fo' what?" the lady asked. She looked annoyed. Sae pulled out three copper peices and laid them on the desk. " Could I please get some tea? any kind really..." he said. The lady smiled and took the peices. " Yeah, sure it'll be out in a min' son." she said as she walked back into the rear of the building. Three minutes has passed and she walked out with a cup in hand. She handed it to Sae with a smile. " thanks!" said Sae as he walked away.

Kavik was still sleepy and unaware. He had to pick up herbs for his twin sister Kokomi and his mother, and literally pulled him from his bed. "Damn family..now I'm out from my warm bed into the freezing outside. Kavik stumbled into the Apothecary glaring at he healing herbs. "I really hate mornings." ~Flashback~ "KAVIK! Get up you have chores!" howled his mother, pulling the platypus bearskin off of his half naked body. "Mama..Can you make Kokomi-Chan do them today." His mother slapped his rear and grunted. "Ha! Kokomi left to Healing house a hour ago. You need to get herbs!" Kavik moaned and climbed from the top bunk and slipped on his parka. "Remember to be polite and leave your Ice gliders at home." Kavik grunted and dropped his primitive ice gliders at the door and walked out. ~End Flashback~ Kavik noticed Sae and said good morning "Hey Good morning." Kavik rubbed his temples. He hated mornings.

Sae looked at the stranger as he sipped his morning tea. "Good morning!" he replied. Sae smiled and watched as the stranger walked towards the desk. He sat on a nearby bench and looked out the window. He noticed some penguins walking, or should I say waddling, by. He smiled, took another sip, and turned towards the new comer. he examined the type of clothes he/she wore to determine wether if he/she was a bender or not. "so, whats your name?" Sae asked. He awaited his reply patiently while he took yet another sip. Sae started to pivot his foot back and forth to try and pass time. It didn't seem to work. Sae decided to look at the different types of plants. They were huge!

"Oh I'm Kavik, I'm from Master Pakku's class, You might know my twin sister, Kokomi." Kavik gave aloud groan, his head was aching from the smell of oils and plants. The woman appeared bring Sae's and Kaviks herbs. Kavik pulled out some money and payed the woman. "Hey there are you Shona's son?" Said the old woman reffering to Kavik's father. "Uh yeah, Shona is my pa, what of it?" replied Kavik uneasily The old woman laughed. "I thought so, I saw him the other day, you look just like him." Kavik gave a small smile and nodded. "Uhh thanks, everyone says I look like Papa. I guess it's the eyes. Anyway I need to get to Pakku's class, Umm I'll see you later." He said to Sae.
Kavik stepped out when he heard a loud laugh. "Hey ugly, getting pretty flowers for mommy?" Kavik clenched his fists. He didn't need this today.

Sae looked out at Kavik. Oh no... he thought. He finsihed his tea and walked outside on the platform. He veiwed the boys that were making fun of Kavik. They suddenly looked at Sae. "Hey, is that your pal, huh?" they said mockingly. The others started to laugh. Sae smirked and continued walking. "You guys are just jerks... go pick on someone your own size!" Sae said. They stepped closer. "What did you say?" they asked. Sae went from a simple smirk to a detailed frown. "Lets go, Kavik..." he said. Sae tried to take a step but one of the boys grabbed him. "Where you headed?" he questioned smiling. Sae had enough. He turned around and faced the kid. "Hey, unless you want to go at it I suggest you leave now!". Sae began to develope a grudge against this kid. He twitched his eyes as he continued to stared down the boys' eyes.

Kavik blanched. He hated Takashi, but he knew that he can't win in a fight against him. However his father always told him to defend himself against foes, heh it was ironic that his name meant "wolverine" and he wasn't at all like the creature. Kavik was tame, gentle. Not a strong leader like his father or sister. Kavik through his hood over his head and ran, he felt a snowball hit his back and he heard more rude slurs from Takashi and his thugs. Kavik shouted back to Sae. "Just leave me alone! I never asked for you help!" Kavik ran back home and gave his mother the herbs. "I'm gonna ice glide on the pond down the road OK?" His mother nodded and Kavik ran back outside with his skates.
The pond was frozen solid and was excellent for skating. He tied his "ice gliders" on and took off his parka. He skated on the pond and did a few laps. He was getting better at using this invention that he made from looking at some old scrolls. He thought warriors can use these to bend the ice on ponds and rivers. In theory at least. Kavik spun in circle and moved a little faster. "I wish I could be a airbender, to really fly and blow Takashi away, but I'm stuck at being ordinary Kavik. Who pisses himself every time he gets into a fight." Kavik did a figure 8 and leeped in the air, spinning and twisting, the young bender couldn't help but smile. He love glide on the ice, like an airbender loves to glide in the sky.

Sae sighed as he watched Kavik run down the road. Poor kid... he thought. He looked down the never-ending path of ice. Another sigh left Sae's mouth as he started towards the road Kavik ran in. Sae entered his own mind and recieved a flashback of his father... "Get out of here Sae! Now, leave now!" his dad said. He bravely fought against the soldiers as they outnumbered him. sae snapped out of it. He suddenlly understood what his father meant. I must get out of this, this wasteland! he mumbled. Sae began to run forward. "Kavik!" he yelled as he ran. he carefully placed his feet on the ground, trying not to slip. He reached Kavik as he glided on the frozen pond. "Hey!" yelled Sae despretely. "Wanna, train?" he asked. Sae wanted to train before he left. And the perfect place to do that was in the outer north pole.

Kavik grunted. "Yeah I guess," The bender concentrated for a moment and with several gestures, he bended the ice into several spikes as he skated around the pond. "Heh is still what you wanted?" Kavik stopped and got off the ice, he was still in a sore mood. "Why did you bother to follow me, I can't bend word seal dung. Or are you here to pick on me in private?" Kavik glared and untied his skates, when he heard some noise near by. Kavik froze. Was it Takashi agian? "Hey Son! Are ice gliding by yourself? It was Shona, Kavik's father. Kavik shrugged and threw his skates in his satchel. "Leave me alone day, I have Master Pakku's this evening and I need to get ready." Shona shook his head, he hated it when Kavik gets melodramatic. "Kavik introduce me to your new friend. Kokomi has better manners than you." Scolded Shona. Kavik gave a bow and said. "Sae this is my father Shona. Papa this is Sae."

Sae looked up at Kavik's father. Sae forwarded his attention to the adult and bowed. "Glad to meet you, sir." Sae said. He watched as Kavik's father walked away. Now he faced Kavik once again. Sae replied to his comment. "No, im not here to 'pick' on you or anything. Im here to practice. If you want I can go to master Pakku's class with you? I do need the practice!" said Sae. He looked at Kavik and noticed how bothered he was. "Or if you just want to go alone, that's fine" Sae suggested. He looked upon the house and saw a giant temple, made of ice of-course. It showed the magnificent symbol that was of the water tribe. It represented the mighty spirits of the moon and ocean. Sae pointed at the temple. "Is that were you train?" he asked. Sae awaited his reply from Kavik as he played with some water on the ground.

Kavik nodded, "Yeah this were I train, class is gonna be late so I have some time. You can train with me if want." Kavik gave a small smile and turned to walk in, when a shout rang out. "OY! KAVIK!" it was Takashi full of anger stomping down the road after Kavik. Kavik turned around and felt the full force of Takashi punch. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Kavik staggered around and looked at Takashi bewildered. "wh-what did I do?" "You stole my wallet!!" Takashi kneed Kavik hard in the crotch. "GIVE IT BACK!!" Kavik screamed and clutched himself, cursing at every deity in the patheon. "GAHHHAHHH!!!" In a high voice Kavik replies: "Damn you Takashi! I don't have it!! Curse you and your decentants if I don't sire any children after this!" Kavik turns to Sae. "Help me out here!?"

What the heck is going on? thought Sae. He snapped out of his mind and quickly thought of a plan. There is no source of water around... The pond! thought Sae once again. He ran towards the kid and elbowed him on the back. He yelled as he was knocked on the floor. " Move out of that ditch Kavik!" yelled Sae. He got into a fighting stance and rose his palms in a stubborn attempt to unfreeze the water. He noticed Kavik crawling out of the ditch. the other kid was about ready to slam Sae on the ground. Sae tried to avoid it by skipping to the side but the kid followed him and tackled Sae. Sae dropped on the cold, hard ice. "Give me my damn wallet!" the kid screamed. He was blinded by his anger, flailing around like a fish out of water. Sae ignored him as he repeated the procedure once more. He slowly unfreezed the water, rotated, and whiped it at the kid. He swallowed massive amounts of water as Sae froze it instantly. The kid was now caught in the icicle about six feet tall. Sae calmed his posture as he lowered his palms respectfully. "What do you want?" asked Sae in an irratated tone. He started to notice a pain in his lower back that was caused by them slam.

Kavik cursed under his breath. He was in fouler mood than before. "Damn you Takashi I don't have your wallet. You probably dropped it like usual." Kavik limped towards Sae, his face and lower areas throbbing. Kavik needed to the Healing House, but this matter need to be solved. Takashi thundered over to where Sae and Kavik with murder in his eyes. "I know you have it! Give whelp or I'll inflict pain that your decendants will feel!" Kavik grimaced, Takashi already did that. He'll be sore for days. "Hey dumbass! Is this what you're looking for?" Kokomi threw a seal skin money purse at Takashi, "You lefted it at the Apoctherey." Kavik's older twin stomped up and grabbed Takashi by the collar of his parka. "Pick on some one your own speicies Taka!" Kokomi threw the bully down and Takashi and his thugs scampered off. "C'mon bro I'll get you guys to the Healing House." She looked at Sae, "I'm Kokomi, Kavik twin sister and you are?"

Sae looked back at Takashi then looked at Kokomi. Sae smiled and replied. "Hi Kokomi, is it? my name is Sae! Me and kavik meet up about fifteen minutes ago." Sae continued to smile until he noticed another pain, this time in his upper back. he squinted as he kneeled down. He dared not to look up at Kavik or Kokomi as he was ashamned of his pain. He covered his lower back with his right hand. I can't travel if im this weak! I have to stay here while I train for another week or so. Sae stood up and looked at the both of 'em. "So we will still have time to go to master Pakku's class afterwards right?" Sae asked while trying to put on a smile. Sae went next to the icicle he created and transfered it to a liquid state. He then flowed it to the pond.

Kavik nodded, "Sorry sis, I need to get to class, I'll be fine the punch doesn't hurt that bad and I'll be ok...down there. I think we're just trying some new techiques and we're not sparing so I'll be fine." Kavik whinced when he walked. Kokomi wasn't fooled. "Look Takashi hit you hard there, let me put some ice on that and you'll be fine." Kavik shook his head. "It's not swelling..bad. Don't worry well be ok Ko-chan." Kokomi shook her head I can believe we're having this conversation. If I got kick down where the sun doesn't shine..I would want ice...and alot of it. "Well ok, dad said that Sae can come over and eat at our place after pratice." Kokomi left hoping that Kavik will feel better.
Kavik and Sae walked in Class. Master Pakku noticed Kavik's limp. "Heh what happend this time Kavik." The boy mumbled something about running into a pole. A few members of the class laughted. Kavik sat down hidding his hurt.

Sae was in the presence of a master so he acted his best. Pakku walked around the room, with his hands behind his back, and noticed the new face. He walked infront of Sae and spoke. "And who might you be?" he asked as he towered over Sae. Sae looked up at him and replied. "My name is Sae, and Kavik said I should come along for the lesson." he said. Pakku nodded and walked to the center of the room. He waved his hands in a fimiliar motion, creating a seat of ice. He gently sat down and sighed. "Ok, there is going to be a new lesson. We are going to learn more about moving ice around." Pakku began. "Wev'e worked so much with water I dont even know what to do... So lets begin." Pakku got up and pointed to a pile of snow. "I want this snow into this bucket, without making it into a liquid!" Pakku stated. The class moaned. sae pouted in his own mind while trying to figure out a way to do that task. Pakku pointed at a student with black, long, hair. "Come up here and do it!"
