Well, as we have seen with the GOT I'm bad a giving estimates, scratch that I suck. But it will be long! I swear it on the corn! And the ravens!

Anyway enjoy!

———————————————————————

The life as part of the Royal Guard was…. as expected, absolutely boring… My duties were to command the guards, and keep an eye for the royal family, mostly Yue.

"I challenge you to a duel!" A guy around my age shouted, he… I had no idea who he was.

"You are?" I sighed, knowing all too well, what was this all about, my new title, some people were trying to show they were superior to me and more qualified… and well, I had graciously kicked their asses to prove I am probably the strongest member of the tribe, and while Pakku was stronger than me in conventional bending, I was league about him… in well… the unconventional areas of my bending.

"I am! The great Hahn!" Oh… that guy…

"Alright… let's fight…" I sighed in a bleed tone.

"Here I go!"

"Water slap," with a yawn, and a soft movement of my hand, a big water hand protruded from the ground, slapping Hahn to the ground like a mosquito, "I won… what a surprise,"

"Is he dead?" Someone in the audience asked.

"No, idiots are hard to kill," I chuckled.

"Was that necessary?" Yue inquired as she approached me.

"With him? Absolutely… besides, only a crushing defeat stops them," I answered with a shrug.

"I suppose," Yue sighed.

"So… how was the healing class?" I asked, as I started to escort the young princess back to the castle, leaving the comatosa Hahn ten meters on the ground.

"Is… good, I think it suits me," Yue answered with uncertainty.

"Is that your… opinion? Or that of the tribe?" I asked.

"A bit of both…. while I love what you teach me… I don't think I have the heart to hurt anybody...so healing is better," Yue sighed, and she was right… she was too good of a person to harm someone.

"Hmm, you still need to learn how to defend yourself… otherwise… bad things can happen," I wasn't going to be around the tribe forever, one day she would have to defend herself.

"Isn't that why I have you," Yue smiled.

"I won't be around forever," I answered, not wanting her to make Illusions of me staying, "One day I will go out and explore the world, and that day… you'll be without me,"

"Maybe I can come with you…?" Yue muttered, hiding her face under her white hair.

Huh… well, that was unexpected, "I don't see why not… I could use a good healer,"

"You don't mind that and the tribe chasing you…?" Yue asked in shock.

"Yue, I'll be honest with you… besides Pakku, there isn't anyone here strong enough to even make me try...." I chuckled, "and besides, the only crime here would be their ignorance, or their refusal to let you go,"

"I think I was too rash to ask you that," Yuu sighed.

"Then stay… I'm fine with either option," I smiled… and for some reason this made her mad…

"So you don't care if I go or not… good to know!" Yue hissed, walking fast with the intention of leaving me behind.

I don't understand that girl sometimes, "Why are you even mad though… I just said I would respect your decision… and besides we were talking hypothetical cases!"

————————————————————————

One of the best parts of not having almost anything to do… is that you can sneak into the healers classroom at night, to steal some of their scrolls.

"Pakku… F to K with you… I will learn how to heal… maybe I can improve the healing…" I muttered as I checked for every scroll, making sure I had the copies for all of them.

Many in the future will wonder… how I got to be strong enough to stomp the avatar in power… well, this will be listed among the list of why.

I was going to break down what it meant to be a water bender, making new things, new styles… I was going to be a legend among water benders.

"Is someone there?"

I was an amazing water bender… but apparently I was a terrible thief… which was odd considering I had been sneaking for months to the castle… anywho! Time to escape!

Before the voice could even repeat the question, I jumped out of the window, and flew to the sealing of the house, one of the many tricks I had learned, you see to fly with water is very easy. All you need is to put some water in all the equilibrium points of the body, I mean the most important ones, feet, hands, hips, and neck, and of course, waterbend that water, to fly around, the trick is to bend the water with the mind alone, that took sometime.

"Mmm… I could've sworn I heard someone,"

Oh shit, that was close, "I better get out…" I sighed, as I flew away.

————————————————————————

FYI water healing… is way more complicated than traditional bending, I mean… holy shit! The precision needed to use it… I mean properly is… stupid. How can Pakku think… this shit is easy, does he only think that because the healers are all women?

"So… you stole all the scrolls," Yue asked with an annoyed expression.

*Caw?!* Crowley cawed, trying to be part of the conversation.

"Knowledge… I stole knowledge… and all the scrolls I took are copies… so, at least.. I cost the school… like five hundred silver," I shrugged, "Besides I will donate them the money,"

"... I suppose if you donate the money it will cost to get those back… is not really a crime… right?" Yue sighed.

"Don't worry…. I will give them more than enough money to replace these scrolls, and buy something new," I reassured her.

"To think our royal guard captain...would be a criminal," Yue chuckled.

"Only a criminal mastermind like me! Can't stop other criminals," I joined in the joke.

"I suppose," Yue laughed, "So… can I read the scrolls, I want others to think I'm a genius at this,"

I looked at her, and with a smile, I said, "Welcome to the dark side," doing my best to imitate Palpatine's voice.

"Ok?..." Yue said getting a scroll.

[Pakku POV]

Today… a very…. odd, and specific crime had been committed during the night… someone had stolen a copy for each scroll in the arts of healing.

"I don't know why someone would steal those…" Yugoda muttered.

I didn't know why… but I had a feeling I knew who did it…

"Whoever it was… it wanted to learn water healing really bad…" A soldier added.

It was Akira wasn't it…. "Let me know how much it will cost to replace them…." I knew he wanted to learn but this was borderline stupid, but one thing was for sure… I was going to discipline that boy, the hard way.
