When Abhaya woke the next day, she jumped out of bed and got ready for the day. After she had stepped out into the cold walkway outside of the inn she had decided that she would go and see what Ziya wanted to do today. Once she got to the chief's house she realized that she couldn't just walk in and say,"Hey Ziya what do you want to do today?" That, would be embarrassing. Just then the man from Ziya's waterbending class stepped out and said,"Hello, are you that Abhaya fire nation girl?"." The one and only!" Abhaya replied with a small grin." Well," said the man,"I would like to ask you the favor of fighting with Ziya, so I can see if she is ready to move on to the advanced level." At first Abhaya was appalled at the idea, but then she thought that it would give her some practice with her firebending and she would get to see how good Ziya was at waterbending. "It would be my pleasure." Abhaya replied. "Good." said the man," Now i will tell you all the details in this. After we're done here go down the street and take a left, that is the water bending school where you'll have to fight. I'll be watching in secret around so I can asses Ziya in her fighting. Ziya fights more fiercely when she is angered, so say water nation girls can't bend because that is a sensitive spot in her.Oh, and if you ever need to reach me again my name is Master Aroon." "Ok," said Abhaya," Should I go there now and wait or go at some specific time." Master Aroon replied,"Actually, you should now and wait because she will be up in a few minutes."."Well then.." Abhaya said as she firebended rockets under her feet to propel her towards the water bending training area. As soon as Abhaya had gotten there and hidden herself Ziya had walked in. Abhaya sended a fireball close to Ziya's head. Ziya whipped her head around and said,"What are you doing?You could have-". While Ziya had been talking, Abhaya firebended a huge wall of fire to Ziya.Ziya would have been burned really bad if she hadn't waterbended herself out of the way."So the mighty Ziya won't even stand to a fight?This is going to be easy!!!" Abhaya said to Ziya. Abhaya then bended a fire orb around her and was shooting fire missiles at her. Although Ziya had bended water at each one and flung it into the ocean, Abhaya was glad at how this fight was turning out. Abhaya then shot a constant stream of fire at Ziya while she was crouched behind a pitiful shield of ice. Next thing Abhaya knew there was steam everywhere, blocking the sight of anyone in the area. Darn waterbenders and their steam, Abhaya thought. "You can't hide forever!!!" and then Abhaya firebended herself into the air with rockets under her feet. As soon as she set out to find Ziya she found her standing in a thinning-out steamed area. When she looked up Abhaya she caught a look fright. This is going to be good Abhaya thought. "Why are you doing this?!?" Ziya yelled to her."To teach an ignorant water girl a lesson!!!" Abhaya started to generate a ball of lighting. Just when Abhaya was ready to strike Ziya, Ziya propelled herself out into the northern waters. Abhaya raced after her. She had soon found her under the water in a orb. Abhaya threw the lighting at her. The lighting had just missed Ziya's orb. Ziya then came racing to the surface in her orb and said,"Abhaya, why are you doing this?I thought we were becoming friends!". Abhaya thought of something great to say to Ziya to make her absolutely furious."Well you thought wrong!I thought that you would mabey put up a fight, but I guess I was wrong.I personally don't think that female waterbenders should exist in the world.". Abhaya could tell that Ziya was furious. Abhaya then sent a thin sheet of fire across the water towards Ziya. Ziya then flew towards Abhaya in a water pillar and Abhaya doing the same thing except for in fire. Just as they both collied into each other, there was a massive explosion. Ziya was thrown out into the open sea while Abhaya was thrown back towards the city. Abhaya had landed hard on her feet, but she got up and waited for Ziya to come and face her. Once Ziya had found her she shot an array of icecles at her. One had managed to hook Abhaya on her shoulder sleeve and hooked her to a building. But Abhaya had quickly melted it with a blow from one of her fingertips. Abhaya then shot twenty quick blows of fire to Ziya. Abhaya had soon overpowered her and sent her flying into a wall. But Ziya had gotten up fast and thew a wall of ice to Abhaya. The fighting of the two elements seemed to go on for a lifetime, but it had only lasted a few small seconds. Then as the two benders drew near, Ziya waterbended some water to Abhaya and froze her arm. Abhaya sent a heat wave down her arm and melted the ice but Ziya had met her hand half way. The two circled encircled each other, tension crackling like a storm in the air as their arms were touched together in a fighting stance. Then at once, they both took a ball of their element and just about closed in on each other when a loud shout sounded from across the clearing,"STOP!!!". It was Ziya's waterbending master,Aroon. He quickly rode over to them on a wave of water."Thank you Abhaya, your work here is done." said master Aroon,"You may go and wash up for dinner.". Abhaya was pleased that she could leave, she was exhausted!!!"Ok, bye!"said Abhaya. As Abhaya started walking out onto the walk way she heard a yell from inside and saw Ziya with a complete look of utter confusion on her face. Abhaya couldn't wait to see her reaction tomorrow.
