    The fate of the world usually falls onto the hands of the Avatar, master of all four elements. Key word being : usually. Most of the time. But in this case, it doesn't seem like the world needs much saving— the scene in front of you says a lot more than it should be doing.

    "AAH— it bit me!" An extraordinarily bright young lady suited in red, also known as the Fire Nation's heiress, now holding her hand as it was bitten by a baby turtleduck. Yes, a baby turtleduck managed to squeeze such a dramatic reaction from the esteemed princess of their nation. Jackie is her name, and you were here to assist her with other bending forms that she has yet to know of. Not now, when she's still complaining to you about her finger that bore the tiny bite marks of the even tinier creature laid by the pond.

    How is this girl the person who has the power to save the world? You can't quite put your finger on it, really.

    You, a person her age, and as someone from a neighboring nation— they thought it would be a good idea to have you teach her how to bend another element. Your element. But by the looks of it...

    Cue the scene in front of you, Jackie rubbing the reddening spot on her finger, eyes prickling with a few tears.

    Yeah. It might take a bit.

    "Is it okay now?" She sniffles, showing you the very same spot. It makes you sigh, but you had to play along with it. Jackie notices this, and she bites her lip— okay, you had to be nice to her, even if the constant distractions from training were pissing you off. "I know we're supposed to be like, training. But I'm just— I don't know, scared?"

    Why would the Avatar be scared?

    "What if, I'm no good at bending the other elements? Like, sure. I'll be able to hold up rocks, move water and everything.. but I'll be mediocre." She mutters a bit dejectedly. "I probably shouldn't be dumping all of that to you, you're just here to train me, right?"
