Thread: AVATAR: An Icy Burn-Out (BennyQ/Sketchyequine)

The sound of splashing water was what drew Rikkar from his deep slumber. The moment his consciousness became alert, it was impossible then to return to sleep as pain renewed its memory in his body. He awoke feeling tremendous ache on his battered side and a fierce numbness on the other. He didnt open his eyes yet, letting the pain wash over him and hoping it would dissipate. It did not. Without sight, he let his other senses become keener. He could hear the splashing, yes but he could also feel the heat radiating off of the rhino and the sounds of woodland creatures in the forest about. It seemed tranquil still, as if forgetting there was a war going on. And that he was a captive. Finally he opened his eyes, vision shrouded by his long, silky hair. Blue orbs regarded the jaded sight before him, seeing the vast horizon of water. But what was doing the splashing? From the waters a pale figure arose, nubile and beautiful, almost like a mermaid. With grace and skill, he watched as this strange woman speared and sought out fish almost in the style as if she was a member of the Water Tribe. Perhaps he had been rescued by this beautiful woman in the night, with the news to be given alongside a delicious meal. But as he grew more alert, he saw it wasnt so. No, it wasnt no mermaid of legend or some Water Tribe heroine to his rescue. It was just the Firebender who captured him, stripped to her undergarments. And by the Moon, was she gorgeous and striking. Even with her tightly strapped bra, Rikkar could still make out the lavish mounds of her chest. And when she would bend to seek fish in the water, the roundness of her rear became oh so profound, causing Rikkar to lick his lips. Beautiful and deadly, something about it was carnally thrilling to the young waterbender, used to seeing women in thick robes, figures hidden. Never like this. Something began to tingle in his groin and he shamelessly drank in the sight for as much as he could. But after successfully spearing three fish it took her long enough, she began to return to the beach and Rikkar quickly shut his eyes again, as if to act as if he hadnt seen any of it. But the memory would be imprinted in his mind, of those exquisite breasts and that well toned tush of hers. Maybe it was some sort of fate that kept him from killing such a beautiful woman. The world would have certainly felt that loss, let alone the Fire Nation. But what was he thinking? She was the enemy and no doubt had killed dozens of people, innocent or not. He could not, in any circumstances, allow himself to be seduced by her curves, wonderful though they may be. Perhaps he couldnt kill her but escape was still his foremost priority. After all, this so called beautiful woman wanted to torture him. With fire. When she called out to him, he dropped the illusion of sleep and let out a groan at the aching pain in his side. He realized something very profound was bulging at the front of his breeches and he rolled onto his back to try and conceal it. He found himself face to face with Ze next, who grumbled at him and Rikkar immediately sat up into a sitting position, terrified at the rhinos attention on him. After all, it had been the one who knocked him aside like a doll. Fire crackled. Its warmth was not comforting for him. I was having a nice dream. He simply remarked in greeting, turning to face her as he sat, arms tied together and leashed to Zes neck. In fact, he scooted back and even dared to rest his back against the rhinos back. It accepted him with another low grumble, as Ze wanted to keep on sleeping. So you went fishing huh? Do you even know how to cook those? Eating them raw is bad for your teeth, you know. But crooked fangs might suit you, lass. He chuckled at her, his voice a little raspy but deep and strong. He felt a bit stronger. Maybe if he got near to some water, he might be able to do some action. Youre cooking them all wrong you know. I swear I saw some wild berries back in the woods. And with some root and leaf, you can make a decent meal even. Why dont you untie me and let me go find some. He said with a wide grin, knowing that would be unlikely and next to impossible. But who knew, stranger things had happened. Or why dont you go look and Ill watch the fire. Youre going to burn the fish at this rate. He added further in teasing. And only three? Milos going to be cranky you left him out. Catch another or do you treat animals in the Fire Nation worse than slaves? Give him mine. He said, speaking truthfully and indeed willing to give up his meal so that his pet could eat. He assumed Ze would be eating as well, for who could be so cruel as to eat in front of their animal companions and not give them any?
