Kaida frowned as she looked at her leg stuck in the quicksand and tried to pull her leg out swearing, but noticed that she sank faster. Just as she got a little movement in her am, Huli shot her past with a flash.
As Huli bumped into Kaida, she lost her balance and she got into the quicksand with two legs and sank further back. Huli looked back and saw that Kaida was trapped in quicksand.
"It looks like my queen is currently hindered in her actions. Don't worry, I'll handle this"
Kaida looked furiously at Huli, who ran further and further away from her. She looked at her legs and gave off such a high heat that the quicksand disappeared around her.
She quickly jumped out as quicksand. If she had been a second later she would have got stuck in it again because the quicksand recovered quickly.
She ran at great speed towards the direction Huli had run to.
'Long!'
Long came flying beside her at great speed and when she was low enough, Kaida jumped on Long's back.
"Make sure we get to those three faster than Huli"
Long flapped her wings, which caused a strong gust of wind to fly over the area. Huli felt the gust of wind go past him and looked back. He saw Kaida getting closer on Long's back.
'Fu lend me your speed'
Fu came running fast from the right and when Fu was at the right distance from Huli he jumped on Fu's back. Just at that moment, Kaida and Long passed them and blocked their way, making it difficult for Fu to pass them.
In the meantime, Their parents looked at them with contempt in their eyes. Zuko, Okuri and Haya stood in a row and were anything but impressed by what their son and daughter showed.
When Huli and Kaida were a few meters away from them, Haya took a step ahead
"I have had enough of the shame they give us in front the elders, as if we have not taught them better!"
Haya radiated cold and at a great speed a thick wall of ice came up. Zuko and Okuri looked at each other in surprise and then at the thick wall of ice.
"Isn't that a bit too much my goldilocks? It's just a practice fight "
Haya looked back over her shoulder and clicked with her tongue
"Too much? No, this is a lesson they have to learn and today! "
Zuko shook his head as he watched Kaida and Huli, who made it into a match who would reach the trio before the other one . You couldn't even call it a fight since they were more concerned about trumping each other than trying to fight their parents.
"Old friend, I agree with your wife. I think the war has caressed their ego a bit too much. If they don't learn it today, they will learn it at an unfavorable moment "
Okuri sighed and then nodded. He knew that Haya and Zuko were right. He could not understand that those who demonstrated so many skills during the war now acted as if they did not even have the basic knowledge of martial arts.
Kaida saw the wall of ice and laughed, I just let it melt with Long's fire, it's only Haya who made the wall. While Huli also looked at the wall of ice with a grin on his face, it is not that thick and it is only my mother who made it I just absorb the cold of the wall.
Both rushed to the wall of ice without feeling threatened and were confident that the wall of ice would not be an obstacle for them. Kaida and Long prepared to melt the wall of ice, while Huli prepared to observe the cold from the wall.
When they were close to the wall, they were ready to attack until they were suddenly pushed away by a strong cold air. Kaida and Huli were blown over by it and Long and Fu flew through the air.
Long and Fu were hurled a few miles away, while Kaida and Huli broke their fall by hitting their backs against another wall of ice.
The moment Kaida hit the wall of ice, she hitted her head and felt that everything revolved around her spinned. The moment Huli hit the wall with his back, he spit blood. Together they slided down the walls motionless.
When they got up with difficulty, they saw that they were now trapped by four thick walls of ice. They saw Fu and Long trying to free them, but there was no crack in the ice.
When Long and Fu wanted to attack the wall again, a chain of fire suddenly flew over the area and chainded Long. Fu flew against a tree through Zuko's forward fist and he locked her up in a cage of fire.
Huli and Kaida furiously looked at Zuko while they looked at Long and Fu. Lung moaned softly as she lay chained to the ground and she was visibly in pain.
"DAD THAT IS TOO MUCH, THE TEMPERATURE OF YOUR FIRE IS MUCH TOO HIGH!"
Huli looked at Fu that stood with her front leg up and moaned. She tried to stand on her foreleg, but immediately fell down with pain.
"FATHER IN LAW, THIS IS REALLY TOO MUCH ?!"
Zuko looked casually at them and sat quietly on the ground between Long and Fu and said in a calm tone
" Is that right?"
Kaida and Huli angrily stepped forward towards Zuko and were unexpectedly stormed by arrows of ice. Because they did not expect it, they could not dodge all the arrows, one of them scraped along Kaida her arm and she started bleeding.
Another arrow scraped along Huli his cheek along, and drops of blood flowed slowly from the cut.
When Okuri saw that both Huli and Kaida made no effort to check whether their partner was okay and only were bussy to start the attack again, he frowned and shouted loudly to the two
"A shame what you are showing here! It is clear to see that you underestimate my wife's wall of ice. How can you underestimate something from a master in formation. You have dug your own grave, today you will see what happens if you underestimate your opponents! "
Huli and Kaida looked at the fierce gaze of Okuri and then at Zuko who was sitting on the ground between Fu and Long and was shaking his head when he realized that the Duo still did not understand what the problem was.
"My queen do not make an unexpected move, I will get us out of this!"
Kaida looked at him with a raised eyebrow and shook her head
"No, my king that is not necessary because I will get us out!"
At that moment, both Kazhua and Haijme's patience was exhausted and they almost stamped their feet on the ground with anger
"I don't understand how my granddaughter behaves so stupidly!"
"I knew that the attitude of my great-grandson was ridiculous but this is really too much "
Zuko and Okuri were convinced that Haya could handle the two so they made them self comfortable and made no effort to help her.
If Kaida and Huli worked together or at least acknowledge each other, they were a worthy opponent, but now they were nothing against their three parents.
Meanwhile, Huli and Kaida moved at the same time, trying to get out of the four walls of ice. Haya looked calmly at them shaking her head. She raised her finger and thousands of icicles appeared above Huli and Kaida.
Huli and Kaida looked shocked upwards, there were so many that they knew for sure that they would not be able to evade them all anyway.
"It is that you are not alert. Everyone in every tribe knows what it means to be trapped in a formation of mine "
Huli and Kaida looked at Haya with a look in their eyes as if they wanted to say, a formation of yours should not be that hard to get out.
When Haya saw that they still not gasp their situation, she raised her finger again
When Kaida and Huli looked over their heads again, they saw that in addition to the thousands of icicles, there were now thousands of ice arrows.
There were so many that they could not even see the heaven. They both swallowed and started sweating.
"It is clear that you two must be taught a hard lesson"
When Haya was finished, she lowered her finger and the thousands of icicles and ice arrows came down at great speed. Huli and Kaida were so overwhelming by the power that they were overpowered within seconds.
When the icicles and the ice arrows had disappeared, the four walls of ice sank slowly and Kaida and Huli lay unconscious on the floor.
They were injured and did not move. They were lucky they had on their armor or they might have traveled to the afterlife.
Cuan who hung with weakly on Kyona's shoulders, looked frightened at Huli and Kaida and then at himself and Kyona. He was glad that their parents hadn't hurt them as much as the two of them.
Mamushi, who lay in the arms of Salmus, leaned her head closer to his chest and tightened her arms around his neck. Yes they had had a tough battle against their parents, but it had not been as fierce as that of Kaida and Huli.
