Bumi alongside Levi was sitting on the baly of a big room on the side of the royal pace, drinking tea and enjoying the fresh air.

  Bumi had just e back from his fight with Aang leaving him with the st challeo figure out his name, as for Sokka and Katara they were getting encased in rock dy right now, all of this was told to him by Bumi.

  “You sure are full of surprises.” said Bumi casually with a raised eyebrow as he looked at Levi, “You almost scared me to death.”

  “Yeah, sorry about that, I was just getting used to my spirit state, and I didn’t know you could see me.” said Levi awkwardly he also felt a little bit guilty about that but it wasn’t his fault he just pooped there unwillingly.

  “Of course I could see you, are you uimating me.” said Bumi in an offeone.

  Before Levi could reply a guard opehe door of the room and spoke, “Sir the avatar is here to see you.”

  “Let him in.” replied Bumi fetting the previous matter.

  Hearing Bumi’s and the guard walked out and before long aang walked in, when he saw Levi drinking tea with Bumi he wasn’t that surprised instead his smile became brighter.

  “I know what your name is.” said Aang in a happy tone as he stared into Bumi’s eyes.

  “I thought about all the challenges you made me gh, all of them forced me to think differently, to think outside of the box.” said Aang before a grin covered his face, “Bumi you’re a mad genius.” he said as he rushed and hugged Bumi tightly.

  “Oh Aang.” said Bumi in aional tone as he returhe hug, losing his pyful and unserious attitude for the first time since Levi met him. Seeing this se Levi couldn’t help but feel out of pce.

  Soon Katara and Sokka were also led inside soon after and they couldn’t help but beam in happiness ohey saw Levi, only for it to turn into doubt and then annoyance before finally anger as they saw him sitting leisurely in perfect health drinking tea.

  “Levi! You’re alright?” asked Katara with some doubt ione.

  Levi only turned his head away not meeting her gaze as he sipped on some tea, he was feeling so guilty that he didn’t even want to meet her eyes.

  Seeing this Katara was uandably angry, she knew her brother well enough to uand what was going on and instantly khat he wasn’t in any real danger, and might have even been in cahoots with the king of Omashu.

  At this time the crystal eng Sokka suddenly got bigger aended a sharp edge towards his head, “AGHHH hurry up and remove this thing from me, I am going to die.” screamed Sokka in fear.

  “Oh, I almost fot about that.” said Bumi as he extended his hand and broke the crystals, before he bent over and picked it up chewing on it, shog everyone besides Levi.

  “Rock dy, quit the delicacy, hehehe.” said Bumi and started ughing, making Levi and Aang shake their heads.

  “Ohing still bugs me though, how did you vince Levi to py into it?” asked Aang turning towards Levi and ing Katara’s guess as she gred daggers at him.

  “It didn’t take much ving really, Levi is also an old friend of mine.” said Bumi but he didn’t eborate.

  “Huh?” excimed Aang, he didn’t think that his current friend would be friends with someo one hundred years ago, especially sidering the age difference.

  “Wait, What?” Sokka

  “Since when do you know the king of Omashu?.” asked Katara her curiosity overshadowing her anger aing the better of her.

  “Ha-ah, we met a while back.” answered Levi, sighing, he didn’t know how to expin to them that they met to test if he was the avatar.

  “So all of this was just a game for you two.” said Katara with an aone of voice making even the king feel a little guilty.

  “Hey, what did I do? It was all his idea.” said Levi, protesting making Bumi gre at him feelirayed.

  “e on Katara, Bumi just loves to py, plus it was fun.” said Aang defending Bumi and Levi.

  “Fun? While we were worried sick about him he was here sitting in luxury and sipping tea.” retorted Katara, almost screaming.

  “Alright, I admit, I shouldn’t have made you guys worry, how about this, I'll teach you a really cool water-bending trick as pensation.” said Levi making Katara’s face brighten.

  “Deal.” she said excitedly with ation.

  “This doesn't taste bad at all.” said Sokka interrupting their versation as he started chewing on some rock dy, he wasn’t as pressed about Levi and BumI’s game as Katara was.

  “’t believe you’re still thinking about food at a time like this.” said Katara as she grabbed the rock from Sokka’s hand and threw it from the baly.

  “Hey! My rock.” protested Sokka, looking as if he was about to cry.

  ***

  On a random street below Omashu Royal Pace.

  A shop stand arked in the middle of the street, supported only by a wooden piece behind the wheel to stop it from rolling away. A middle-aged man with gray hair wearing a green turban and green clothes was shouting at the top of his lungs beside it.

  “Cabbages, Cabbages for sale, the best cabbages in the earth kingdom, e a your Cabbages.” he shouted at the top of his lungs and it was w.

  While most people wouldn't be ied in buying Cabbages, the mahusiasm drew quite a lot of ers.

  “Thank you so much, don't fet to e back again.” said the man as he hahe ge along with a bag with two cabbages to a young woman with a child.

  ‘Ahh, I could do this forever.’ thought the man in happiness.

  Just as he was about to attend to his er, a green rock dy fell from above, the cabbage seller looked at it for a bit befn it, attending to his business.

  But as if by some diviervention the rock rolled directly towards the wooden piece stopping the carriage from rolling away, it barely touched it but that was all it took for the wood to snap out of pce as the carriage started rolling away.

  Before the middle-aged man could react his carriage started rolling away and crashed against a wall at the end of the street, his Cabbages rolling all over the pd getting actally stepped on by passersby.

  “MY CABBAGES.” he cried at the top of his lungs as he ran towards his fallen cart trying to salvage what was left of his merdise. His scream was so heart-wreng that someone would think that his offspring just died, everyone walking by turo look in shock, some felt pity for him while others couldn't help but frown at his overrea.

  ***

  “Oops.” Levi didn’t know whether to ugh or cry for the puy as he looked at the se from the baly of the royal pace, quickly disabling his eagle eyes before anybody saw him.

  “What was that?” asked Bumi as he turo look at Levi.

  “Nothing much I was just talking to myself.” replied Levi, it seemed here in the paaybe Omashu as a whole, that was the best excuse as nobody found it weird.

  “Oh.” and he was right as Bumi just made a sound that he uood before he tinued drinking his tea, this being his third cup.

  Everybody was sitting around the table enjoying Iroh’s tea, including Sokka, Aang and Katara.

  “So Bumi, you’re thinking what I am thinking?” asked Aang, his eyes shining.

  “How to increase the prote around the pace?” asked Bumi, making everyone look at him weirdly, there was already an absurd amount of guards as it is right now.

  Levi couldn't help but feel a little guilty for the dozen times today, when he had sneaked in here previously there was barely anyone around but now the pce was crawling with guards, it could be said that he was the reason the guards had to work extra hours.

  “No, not that, the other thing.” Replied Aang as he snuck a g a cart sliding down the delivery system some distance away from the pace.

  “Ohhh, great idea let’s go.” said Bumi as he immediately got up followed by ahusiastig.

  “What are you guys talking about?” asked Sokka, curious by their eagerness.

  “You join us too, Sokka, you'll love it.” said Aang, sokka didn’t seem to mind as he also got up to follow them, “How about you katara.”

  Before Katara could reply Levi interjected, “Trust me sister this isn’t something you want to be part of.” said Levi, making Katara stop iracks, the other three didn’t mind as they ran out of the room.

  “Alright, now about that trick I mentioned.” said Levi casually, earning him a smile from Katara as she jumped to her feet.

  “Let me get some water.” said Katara excitedly as she turned around.

  “No need sister sit down.” said Levi as he put his teacup down, a fused Katara only followed his order.

  Sing the room to make sure they were not being watched Levi finally spoke, “What I am about to teach you be sidered a subcategory of water bending just like water healing, but it is also one of the most dangerous forms of bending out there.” said Levi giving her a moment to process his words before tinuing.

  “You’re forbidden from showing it to anyone else without my permission.” said Levi in a stern tone making Katara show a serious look, she wondered what could be so serious that Levi had to be so cautious about.

  “You have My word, unless you allow it I will each it to anybody.” said Katara with a solemn look on her face.

  “Good, Now before I teach you this I o expin a few other things to you first, every element has its sub-bending categories, the same way water bending has water healing, fire benders also bend lightning for example.” said Levi making Katara’s eyes go wide in shock at the st part..

  “You don’t o worry about it sister, thankfully for us the greed of the fire lord will be his downfall, for now the knowledge of lightning bending is only accessible to the Fire Nation royal family.” said Levi easing Katara’s worry, he couldn’t imagine what would happen if the knowledge of lightning bending was avaible to every fire bender.

  From what he remembered from the legend of Korra lightning bending was one of the easiest sub-bending elements to master alongside metal bending, ohing was for sure, the final battle from the show would have gone way differently if lightning bending had widely spread.

  “Earth benders also bend va just like air benders master the ability to fly, but that doesn't mean these are the only sub-elements that exist.” said Levi, making Katara’s eyes go wide.

  “How could earth benders bend Lava? Isn’t that more in the fire benders alley? And Aang fly?” asked Katara in genuine wonder, she khe value of the information she just heard and she couldn’t help but turn her head and look around fearing someone else might hear it.

  “The exact opposite actually, just like we water benders freeze water earth benders melt rock, it just a ge to the state of the element, at its core it is still the same thing, as for flying only one person had ever mastered it in history so I doubt Aang could do it.” said Levi, expining in simple words so Katara could uand him.

  “I see that does make sense.” said Katara.

  “Now you might be w why I am telling you all of this.” said Levi to which Katara only nodded, “I am going to teach you about a sub-bending ability of water bending that few even knew about, let alone mastered.” said Levi his smile getting bigger as he saw Katara eyes going wide.

  Seeing her not saying anything Levi decided it was better to show her rather than expin any further.

  [Ding]

  [Blood bending activated]

  Katara was fused why Levi had just gone silent all of a sudden when her eyes widened in pure horror as she saw her hand reach for the teacup oable on its own, she tried to stop it but she couldn’t, soon she grabbed the cup and brought it near her mouth.

  She couldn't even trol her body to scream or help ive any signal that she was being trolled.

  She was horrified again to find her mouth open without her sent as she sipped oea, her throat muscles moving on their own to swallow, finally after what felt like hours she regained trol of her body as she sat up in shock panting heavily as sweat ran down her forehead.

  Taking back his outstretched hand Levi couldn’t help but sigh, he tried to ease her into it but in the end she was still frightened.

  Although Levi didn’t regret it, she was going to learn Blood bending one way or another and he preferred it was him that showed it to her.

  For oo make sure she was in a safe enviro and sedly to make sure she didn’t see blood bending as somethiive and evil and do something idiotic like refrain from using it, just like any other element or on, it depended on the person wielding it.

  And by taking trol of her body now she will be prepared iure in case she enters any blood benders.

  Seeing her calm down a little Levi spoke, “That was blood bending, an ability exclusive to only a select few water benders and even then only uhe full moon.”

  “That….was scary.” said Katara after she calmed down a little, her hands still shaking.

  Holding her hand Levi could feel her shaking ease down a little, she was beginning to calm down, “Sorry for that sister, but I o do it that way, to show you that blood bending isn’t evil, it depends on the person who wields it and to prepare you for the future” Said Levi with a sorry tohat made Katara’s shaking stop.

  “Ha-ah, I uand.” said Katara, sighing.

  “Wait, you said that water benders he full moon to use blood bending.” asked Katara skeptical as she looked at the sun hanging in the sky, with Bumi, Aang, And a g Sokka sliding down a rock cart below it before disappearing from sight.

  “That’s mostly true, most water benders will he full moon.” said Levi with a slight smirk on his face.

  “Let me guess, you’re built different.” said Katara.

  “You know me too well sister.” said Levi, making her roll her eyes.

  “Still I just started getting the hang of water bending, I don't know how long it'll take me to blood bend.” said Katara in a downcast tone.

  “I have a feeling it will be soohan you realize, I believe in you sister.” said Levi, making Katara beam.

  “Now let’s gh some basics.” said Levi as he started expining basics of water bending for her followed by the basics of blood bending, if he was going to teach her he would go all the way. With his mentor skill in effect it didn’t take long for Katara to get the basics down
