After waking up, I felt horrible. "For God's sake, I'm an engineer in training. I know stuff about the wild from TV shows and some medicine from my family, so I should be fine here," I thought to myself while jumping from tree to tree, using airbending.
I found a cave and went inside to practice airbending. I attempted to pull something toward me using air and then shaped the air around me into a short dagger. I threw it, and it stuck to the wall. Satisfied with my progress, I dismissed the air.
"Now that I have an attack move, I need a defense move so that when I go out, I don't get folded like an omelet," I said, determined to develop my skills. I started forming an air sphere around my body, focusing on creating a protective shield.
After four hours of intense training, I shouted in excitement, "It is done!" But then the realization hit me that I needed food, and a lot of it. I recalled the previous day's experience and vowed not to make the same mistake again. The thought of it made me tremble.
As I was about to leave the cave, I reminded myself, "I keep forgetting that I'm just a kid." At my current height, I couldn't even reach an apple. Sure, I could use airbending to jump and grab it, but why did I have to become so short?
I propelled myself into the air, using airbending to boost my flight. I flew aimlessly for a while until I accidentally passed through a wall, losing control over my airbending. I continued uncontrollably until I crashed into the forest, leaving a crater behind. Remarkably, I got up, dusted myself off, and acted as if nothing had happened.
Deciding to find a vantage point, I climbed a tall tree and spotted a house with a farm nearby. Intrigued, I made my way there, running with the speed of a gazelle and getting lost in the beauty of the forest along the way.
After 30 minutes, I arrived at the farm and witnessed a group of kids bullying a blond girl with blue eyes. They were throwing rocks at her, which compelled me to intervene. I used my airbending to stop one of the rocks from hitting her.
"Why are you guys bullying her? She did nothing wrong," I said, trying to reason with them.
"Look at that bitch. She acts like a noble and thinks she can be treated differently from us. She thinks we're just country bumpkins," one of the bullies replied with anger.
"I call bullshit," I responded firmly. They continued hurling insults, and one of them called me a racial slur, which surprised me.
"Stop! You guys shouldn't fight. You might hurt yourselves," the blond girl pleaded, showing concern.
"We're going to show this black-as-night bitch his place," the largest bully sneered.
"I promised myself to never hurt kids, but fuck it," I declared, feeling fed up. With a powerful blast of air, I sent them flying far away but not far enough to cause serious harm.
"What was that?" the blond girl asked, amazed.
"Oh, that? It's a gift I was born with," I replied, tilting my head to the side. Concerned, I asked, "Are you alright? You seem hurt. Do they do this to you every day?"
"Mostly every time I go out," she replied, her head hanging low.
"What's your name? Mine is Jack," I introduced myself.
"My name is Historia," she said, smiling at me.
"Why did you save me?" Historia asked, looking curious.
"I don't like
to see beautiful things cry," I said, smiling back.
"Do you want to play with me then?" Historia asked, sounding happy.
"Do you know how to play hide and seek?" I suggested.
Tears welled up in Historia's eyes. "You won't run away like the others, right?" she asked, crying.
"I would never," I reassured her. "I'll count to ten, and you can hide anywhere. I'll try to find you," I said with a smile.
