I was hoping to make this one more light hearted.

Chapter 4: Masters and students
Xeen dosed atop his favorite branch of his favorite tree. He awaited his master Ty Lee, but he knew that she wouldn’t show up today. He was glad, for nothing pleased the young boy more then napping on the tree he and Ty Lee always practiced near.
Xeen was an odd child. He had silver hair and grey eyes that always seemed to show his never ending fascination with the world. He wore baggy white clothes that aloud him to move freely with the steps of his fighting style, and no shoes so that his steps were light.
No one truly knew were Xeen had come from, not even Xeen himself. All they knew was that he showed up at the palace one day, and everyone had token a liking to him. Especially Ty Lee, who had agreed to take the lad under her wing, and teach him what she knew.
However, she had not shown up today, leaving Xeen to take up his favorite pastimes. Sleeping, and wandering. Since Xeen had already had a good night’s sleep, he decided to end his nap and take his standard walk.
“C’mon Niko!” he called to his pet flying Lemur who dazed in the shade of the tree. The little creature flew to Xeen’s shoulder and went back to sleep.
The first place he stopped by was the Fire Lady’s pool. It was a brilliant 30 by 30 foot pool with the cleanest water Xeen had ever known of. Fire lord Zuko had built it for Katara when she had first come to the palace. It was truly a large feet for a simple gesture, but Xeen believed Zuko would gladly lift up the fire nation and move it to the South Pole for his love.
Right now Katara practiced here with her new student, Hoshi. Xeen couldn’t help but notice that the similarity between the two. They might as well have been related.
“Remember Hoshie,” lectured Katara, “Water bending is graceful, not strict. You must flow threw the movements like water itself.”
“Alright,” replied the young water bender. She gently picked up some of the water and began to play with it in the air.
“Good job,” said Zuko. Katara jumped, and Hoshie dropped the water. Even Xeen hadn’t noticed the silent fire lord.
“Hey Zuko,” she said embracing him in a kiss, “What have you been up to.”
“Looking for that Stathis kid,” he explained, “I was wondering if Hoshie knew.”
Hoshie became rather flustered. “Um… N-no I haven’t,” she stuttered.
“Alright…” said Zuko with a confused look. Then he walked away, to leave the water benders to their training.
Xeen to decide to take his leave and continued to the court yard.
He heard the clash of steal, and laughter. It was Sokka and a boy in water tribe clothes and a golden sword. From the shouts of Sokka, he could tell the boy was being trained. The two continuously parried and attacked, both masters of swordsmanship. Xeen began to speculate why Sokka was even trying to teach the already learned boy. But he got an answer quickly.
The boy began to slow in his pace. “WRONG!” yelled Sokka as he kicked the boy in the chest, “You put too much power into the fight! You must be relaxed!”
“I’m sorry Sensei Sokka,” replied the boy.
“You needn’t apologize. Apologies are cheap. I wish for your improvement,” explained Sokka, “That’s enough for today Stathis.”
“So that’s Stathis…” realized Xeen.
“Hello Xeen,” said Zuko as he passed by.
“Sneaky basted!” laughed Xeen. Zuko to chuckle at the boy’s mock anger.
“Fire Lord Zuko,” greeted Sokka with a bow. Stathis nodded but staid silent.
“I heard you have some artifacts,” said Zuko looking at Stathis. Stathis held out the ruby dragon and golden sword, but Zuko waved them away. “You may keep them,” stated Zuko, “I just wanted to make sure they were in safe hands.” He said that last part to both fighters.
Xeen had already started his way back to the tree however, in the hopes of finding his own teacher…. Or at least a good nap……
