Tseng sighed. She was right about them probably attacking him, and she was right that they would have tried to kill him again, but after his last run in with the southern tribe he wasn't about to underestimate them a second time. He was still curious about this girl who had healed him, that skill alone felt odd to know she had. It was alien to him something he had never seen before, a rumor he had just confirmed as fact. Still the more they agreed on their plan the more it felt a little comforting. Suite yourself, but get some rest. Night fall will be in a few hours, and we will both need our strength. Laying down he breathed lightly and slept for the next few hours. When he awoke the light outside was moonlight. He felt stronger physically. Food and rest had helped his strength considerably, and it didn't even hurt to move at this point. His body was still warm, and he got to his feet silently enough. Moving around the shelter he tapped Lynka on the shoulder and slightly more hesitantly patted Nuknuk to wake them. It's time. He said lightly, Getting ready for Lynka to lead the way. He didn't bother with his armor. It would slow him down, and mark him from a distance. For now he was hoping to just rely on stealth. He had done a few stealth operations with the raiders, but nothing really like this. Looking outside their shelter he was wary to step outside, but glad too feel the fresh air on his skin. It wasn't as cold as he thought it would have been. He guessed his body naturally insulated him against the cold, but even so he felt a slight shiver trail down his spine. He kept his head low, and rubbed his hands together, Snapping his fingers he made a set of sparks along with a very small flame before immediately putting it out. Looks like I have some of my bending back. He whispered. If all hell breaks loose at least I can defend myself... I'll try not to kill anyone if that happens. His voice was dripping with something akin to sarcastic behavior. He honestly didn't care about these people and their problems. All that mattered was getting back home to the fire nation, and if one or two primitives did die because of that goal he was okay with that. However at the same time he had to act like he wasn't indifferent to the idea just on the sake of Lynka, who he actually needed the help of in order to get home. Once he got there he could betray her all he wanted and leave her to rot in some fire nation prison, after all he was only agreeing to take her to the fire nation and past the boarder guards. Lead the way. He said with a small bow towards Lynka and her giant polar bear dog.

When her shoulder was tapped Lynka made a little noise which was followed closely by a yawn. Nuknuk lifted her head and gave a short, sleepy growl. Once the polar dog realized it was the human from earlier she gave a small, apologetic whine before yawning. Slowly both females got to their feet and stretched. Funny how the pet and master sometimes possessed similar habits. Already Lynka felt nervous about this task. She would have to steal from her own people, but wasn't it in the effort to rescue others of her kind? With a deep breath to quell the furious flutter bats in her stomach. Her arms raised and dropped, when they dropped the shelter disappeared as if it had never been there. Alright, let's go. It was a good mile to the village and she was careful to skirt close to the water. They were lucky, it was a new moon. No extra light would reveal them for now. The village was in almost complete darkness, but a couple of fires could be seen. Lynka was surprised, they had lookouts stationed. Watching for more fire nation or hoping those who had fled would return? They walked to the far side of where they village ended and to a large mound of snow. She waved her hand and a small fleet of canoes was found. Ok you stay here, I am going to try and get supplies. As she turned to go Nuknuk made to go with her. No Nuknuk, you stay here. She said as she pat the large polar dog's head. Nuknuk whined but settled in the snow to wait. Lynka skirted around the back of the village and burrowed herself into the snow, carefully propelling herself forward, keeping the camouflage around her. I was surprisingly easy to sneak in, but with the snowflage she wasn't too surprised. First she crept into her home where her parents lay sleeping. Immediatly she noticed her sister, Hama, was not there. She prayed to the spirits that she was still out in the tundra. If she had been taken...then it just deepened her resolve to get to that prison. So she took two large bags with her, a set of clothing that was her father's and a warm parka. Next she burrowed to where food was stored. There she filled the bags with as much food as she possibly could, not knowing how far it was before they would be able to find food again. With her bags filled she turned to leave when she heard the horn. The horn meant enemies. She quickly turned and didn't even bother with the snowflage, with the hood up in the dark she could be anyone. As she left the village in the midst of others she saw what they were running towards. Tseng had been seen.

Tseng had done pretty much exactly what Lynka had asked him to do, stay put. He had tried his best to stay out of sight of anyone. However the prediction that the boats would be unguarded was wrong, as two young tribesmen were watching over the area, and once Lynka left he had been spotted rather quickly. If not by complete accident. The two were quick to raise an alarm via a low whistle, the village responded by sounding a large horn, and suddenly the hills were alive with benders and non benders, the might of the south may have been diminished but there were still many capable warriors in town who wanted a piece of him. Grabbing the first boys spear as Tseng was charged he let loose wave of flame to knock the boy over. He didn't bother with any killing moves rather he had just wanted the weapon so he could try and defend himself. His fire bending was still rather weak thanks to his injuries, and the last thing he wanted to do was kill several of Lynka's tribesmen before they had to go on some long and dangerous journey together, as that just seemed like it would lower his life expectancy with every primative that he burned to death. As it was however he did not sink from a challenge, and he wasn't afraid of any of these people. Even as the water benders that remained inside the clan attacked throwing whips of water towards him he kicked off from the ground breaking the waves with a display of fire. Nuknuk wasn't much of a help for this fight, maybe it was out of a knowledge that these were her family of sorts, but she simply stayed where she had been told to sit waiting for Lynka to return. The tribe on the other hand quickly surrounded Tseng. Cries of kill the monster and several more insults were thrown towards him. None of which really affected the Southern Raider. If they wanted him dead they had a pretty good shot at him right now, and even he had to admit that there wasn't much he could do about it. He took a step back only to feel another spear jab him in the back of the leg, not quiet hard enough to break through his thicker pants, but still rather harshly. Tseng held the frozen spear tightly to him, right now it was the only thing really saving his ass along with his fire bending. Taking a deep breath he turned and unleashed the best roar of fire he could muster his breath burning a circle around him marking a line in the snow. He tried to hide the fact that that move actually rather hurt his throat. Well? He said his voice considerably more dry then it had been when he had spoken to Lynka. What are you water babies waiting for? The monster is here who wants a piece. Really the only option he had right now was to play off their collective fears, otherwise he was gonna end up strung up as some kind of warning to any and all fire benders come the next raid.

Others had gotten there before her. In the darkness she could see vague shapes moving, fighting. On occasion a gout of flame lit up the area. Had her situation been any different she might have paused to admire the spectacle. This time, however, she knew she had to get there and get there quickly. She flung her hands forward creating a sort of ice ramp and slid towards the battle. The ramp elevated and she slid up then leaped off into the fray. Stop! She yelled as the water tribe members moved to rush on Tseng. The surprise attack from one of their own caught all of them off guard and they were all pushed back with a burst of snow. Lynka! A man shouted and stepped forward. Out of the way daughter, he said, brandishing a spear. Father, please, listen, she pleaded, hands still up to defend. He is one of the ones who took your sister, her father said, tossing back his hood. The man was well into his 40s, grey touching his temples and the edge of his short beard. I know, I know, but I am... Enough! another man roared, a water bender. He flung his hands, whipping water at Lynka who deflected it and flung down a sheet of ice. I'm sorry father... she said softly. I will bring Hama back. Her arms raised up and from the water came a great wave that drew the small canoe fleet out of their hiding spot. Slamming her arms down the wave surged forward and crashed onto the shore. The water benders were able to block themselves from the worst of it but the non benders were swept back. In that same time Lynka grabbed Tseng's wrist, creating a protective pocket for the pair of them and Nuknuk to escape through. She hauled him into the frigid water yelling swim. A current helped to propel them forward to catch up with a canoe. Using a small cyclone of water she lifted them up and into the canoe. Nuknuk shook off the water as Lynka used her bending to propel them quickly. With any luck they would be well enough and quickly enough away so even the benders could not follow.

Tseng had not expected the battle to end like that. He knew that Lynka had her own ideas about what helping him would do, but at the same time he had never actually expected her to save him. In all honesty he had expected her to join her people in trying to kill him, and for a moment he thought she had. She had all but thrown him into the freezing cold water, and while he knew how to swim, the shock had caused his joints to seize momentarily. Even as they propelled he wasn't so much swimming as he was being dragged towards the boat, and when he was thrown onto the actual ship his body was shivering, and he had swallowed enough sea water that he was feeling sick. Holding his head over the bow he vomited up the collected water first, and then breathed small puffs of smoke and fire. His body was shivering he couldn't get warm. Y-y-you c-could have j-just l-let me die. In truth he wasn't sure which was the better option. Freezing to death on a boat, or freezing to death by a group of water benders. They of course had bigger problems however as the water benders broke off parts of the ice flow to use as boats,. Using their bending to create large waves that carried their make shift boats like motors. Tseng breathed more smoke as he pulled off his soaked shirt, it was just going to cause his tempurature to lower faster. He would have stripped all the way, but now wasn't the time as he stood up. K-keep the b-boat steady. He said getting his body ready, he was still shaking his aim wouldn't be perfect but then it really didn't have to be. Even as they were moving as quickly as they could the water benders were sending violent waves to try and sink the canoe. They knew that Lynka would survive she was a water bender after all, but they really wanted him. They sent out bursts of water and ice like cannon fire. trying to catch up with the two trying to escape. Breathing heavily trying to gather his strength, Tseng planted his feat on the boat as best he could Letting out a large burst of flames the two focused Jets hit the water as fast and hard as he could, not only propelling them forward slightly faster adding to her own water bending, but also throwing up a thick haze of fog as the hot fire struck the freezing water the temperature change created a quick and harsh release of steam. Tseng lasted for a little while longer before he ran out of juice and fell back inside the boat. His body was cold, and once again he was out of energy to bend with, but hopefully he had done his part in aiding their escape.

Lynka ignored him as he spoke. Her own body was quaking from the cold plunge. They wouldn't last long if they couldn't get away. She had used a great deal of energy to bend and even now she felt herself getting weaker. That was when Tseng stood up, after empty the contents of his stomach. She was working hard as wave and ice tried to sink their canoe. Propelling and defending was proving to be quite a task. She was doing her best to keep the violent rocking down, raising and lowering the water to even out the keel. Then he let out a great gout of flame. Mixed with the freexing waters it sent up a steam of foggy haze and propelled them forward. It was all she could do to keep the canoe steady. Looking around she saw a gathering of ice floes. Steering the canoe she headed for the thick of them and held to the side of one. Using the last bit of strength she had left for bending she sloshed water up and froze it around them. The water below the canoe stilled and they were covered by thick ice. The water tribe girl let out a great, heaving sigh and settled back into the boat. It was chill but wind was blocked and they were hidden. They won't search here, she said after another sigh and shivered violently. We need to dry our clothing, she said after a little bit, feeling her body shaking violently. Reaching into a pack she brought out clothing for him and slowly, as if it were too much effort, she drew out the water from their clothing, hair, Nuknuk's fur and whatever was in the bottom of the canoe. When all was dry she lay against Nuknuk, her head swimming a little. There is food in one of the packs too, she said after a little, carefully looking away to give him privacy to change his clothing.

Tseng stripped down, and changed quickly not really wanting to be seen by anyone. He had burn marks along his back that he wasn't proud of, and he wanted to hide them as quickly as possible. Throwing on the parka and changing into the much warmer water tribe clothing he fell back into his body resting against Nuknuk's warm fur. He sighed looking up at the sheet of ice that camouflaged their boat. They had done it, at least for a little while they had actually managed to get away from the south pole. He made a small grunting noise as he went through the bags, and found some seaweed bread. Spitting it in half he passed one side to her, and hesitantly sniffed the other half not really knowing how it would taste or if it was even edible. Still he was too tired and hungry to not eat it, and so he took a quick bite of it, before sinking in further for the meal. He was famished and tired, something that seemed to happen a lot. So... your tribe seemed nice. He said after a while trying to think up a conversation starter. She had just betrayed her family in a pretty big climatic way. He had no idea what she was going through, at this moment after all everything he was doing was so that he could get back to his people. He didn't even realize that the way he had spoken could have been taken as rubbing salt in the girls fresh wounds. The news that her sister was taken wasn't all that shocking either, after all it had been the fire nations goal and right to lock up those that resisted the fire lords will, and what happened to her and her family would simply be the fact of things until all nations submitted to the fire nation. Stretching out on the boat he closed his eyes, but stayed awake for a moment. For now he was just glad to be warm, and safe. He knew that Lynka had her motives for saving him, but she had still pulled his ass out of a very bad situation. Thank you... I know that must have been difficult.
Thread: On Flames and Rivers (Malin and Luana_Blodwyn)

Lynka frowned a little when he spoke. Maybe saving him wouldn't quite be worth it. Still she needed him. There was no way she would be able to find her sister without his help, however much she grudged it. With nothing to say at the moment she nibbled at the seaweed bread, relishing in the crisp saltiness of it. She had betrayed her people, not attack them but still she was aiding a firebender. One of the many who had been apart of the capture of her sister. She leaned against the other side of Nuknuk and frowned at her bread, her guts churning to the point where she felt she couldn't eat. So instead she fed the bread to Nuknuk and curled up a little against the polar dog's large side. Then he spoke again and she suddenly sat up. Difficult...just difficult huh? Do you have any idea what it is like? You and your kind parade around like you are somehow superior. As if fire bending is the only real form of bending. Your kind killed off all of the air nomads because of your search for the avatar. Probably the cycle is broken and there is no way to stop this stupid war your kind started. My sister is probably in some hold on your ship, on her way to be imprisoned or maybe even killed. She wouldn't cry, the tears would probably just freeze to her face so she scrubbed at her eyes. They don't understand, now they think I am a traitor...and the raids will never stop. You and your kind are monsters, all of you. She laid back against Nuknuk with her arms folded. Go to sleep before I decided this venture isn't worth it...
Thread: On Flames and Rivers (Malin and Luana_Blodwyn)

Tseng scoffed, fire bending was the only real form of bending and that was a simple fact. The other forms of bending were cheep imitations of the art, and had no real elegance too them, even after seeing what was once pure myth to him healing through water bending he was still convinced of that fact. Hearing her digression he shrugged. If her plan succeeded which it wouldn't she would go back to her people a hero, so in the end who cares right? She would settle her own vindetta or and this was far more likely she would rot away in a jail cell with the rest of her kind. He didn't focus to much on her last line calling him a monster. Honestly it was what he was starting to expect from her. She would save his life, and then insult him, yep sounded like the current cycle so far. She was right though the raids would never stop until there was no more water benders in the southern tribe. Closing his eyes after he finished his bread his mouth was still very dry both from the salt water of the sea, and the seaweed bread. For now he would wait till morning to ask her if she had any fresh water or could make any with her bending. For now he was just a little dehydrated, and he could live with that fact. Sleeping through the night came easy to Tseng, and come morning the sun was visible through the glass like ice wall that she had put up. Tseng stretched, feeling his energy return with the rise of the sun, invigorating him with new found strength. Waking up he felt thirsty and slowly he got to his feet. He was a little worried about fire bending, the last thing he wanted to do was make it obvious where the two of them were, but he was actually kind of excited. Today was the first day on their trip to the fire nation. Slowly but surely they would make their way back home. Any chance you can bend the salt out of water? He asked lightly as he poked the girl. After last night he was hesitant to really wake her, both her and giant beast of a dog had proven to get rather aggressive with their words. Still she wasn't bending water at him, so all was well in the world.

Lynka fell asleep rather quickly, nestled against Nuknuk's side. She was exhausted from bending so much at once, not to mention it was well past dark and the previous day hadn't yielded much sleep. True it was rather cold but the fur from Nuknuk helped insulate some. Soon enough they would start heading north where it would be warmer. Imagine that, air that was warm. Not the blistering, biting cold of the south pole. All he life she had dreamed of traveling far, going places that were warm. The next morning she was roused by someone poking her. She opened her eyes slowly and gave a soft, annoyed growl. With a yawn she sat up and rubbed the sleep from her brown eyes. No I can't, she said before another yawn over took her. Rolling a little over she grabbed one of the bags and pulled out two large skins of water. Carefully she melted the ice over their heads and let it stream into the bottle. When water freezes into ice it is fresh water, the salt is left behind. She explain as she passed him one of the skin. Drink it sparingly, I don't know how far we are from land where we can get more. With that she melted the rest of her cover and she propelled the canoe gently through the ice floes. It was a brilliant day out, the sun was shining and there was little wind. The ocean was peaceful as they drifted through. She kept the canoe on a north eastern course, using the sun for guidance. You've probably seen a lot of maps...do you have any idea where there might be land nearby?
Thread: On Flames and Rivers (Malin and Luana_Blodwyn)

Tseng paused slightly as he thought about there location. He had indeed seen a lot of maps thanks in part to his work with the fire navy. He had traveled a lot in these waters, mostly going too and from the fire nation, but he knew the maps and land masses well. Looking at the sun he could see the course they were taking, and Tseng's face paled slightly. There was land, and it wasn't far, even as they drifted he knew that it wouldn't take them more then a day to reach the islands, but they were islands that none of his fleet would dare go near. Well yes, if you adjust course slightly towards the west, then we should have a clear shot at the air nomads former southern territories, but... Tseng cut himself off. She had said last night exactly why he had no interest in going to that island chain. Those islands are haunted. No ship goes near them, no one wants to be anywhere near those places. There was more then superstition. Many of the traps that the fire nation had set up along those islands had remained in place. Explosives, and other such things dotted the land, and of course there was the fact that all the dead had remained to rot in those peaks. Air tribal, and Fire nations alike Sozin's comet had been too quick, and so powerful. It had been a sneak attack unlike any since or after, and now those islands were bad news. Yet they were steadily becoming his and Lynka's only hope. However it would also give them an advantage the fire nation steered clear of that place, the water benders would never think of going there either. They could evade two groups while trying to get to the earth kingdom. It seemed like the best of both worlds. He took another small drink of the water before handing it back to Lynka. Laying back in the boat next to Nuknuk he was starting to get used to the polorbear dog, and in fact he was thankful for it. Sighing he was slightly happy that they were going north, the further they got from the ice and cold, the happier he would be. Even if they had to brave the weird and haunted shores of the air nomads territory.
