the reason this is a "3" instead of a "1" is 'coz the names Biling Rock 1 and 2 were already taken.
so yeah, I finally write another chapter of the long-dormant story of Sanaki's dark, mysterious, intriguing and yet happy life. I do hope that you all will enjoy it.
CHAPTER 6
I might have been young, but I was a prodigious firebender who devoted almost all of my spare time to the art. Incidentally, I also took place in Agni Kai practices. Of course, I had to prove my abilities every time because of my young age, but the people I fought always seemed to be the same thuggish morons who didn’t know how to fight. From what I understood, they used me as a disciplining agent for their army, yet I had no formal rank, nor did I have requirements. They just knew that I would show up for another fight, and sure enough, I always did.
My reputation became notorious as I grew up. I became a very skilled firebender because I spent my time doing almost nothing else. I even put most of my gambling career behind me, which explains why I did not do it as much in my later years. However, despite my reputation, I continued to be the same little girl I always was.
One day though, something strange happened. A man and a little girl showed up. I had met them before, but only for short times. The man’s name was Zihark, and the girl’s name was Mikaya. Mikaya was almost exactly like me. She could have been my twin sister; even Kai said those very words. Anyways, Kai and this Zihark fellow seemed to be together more and more and I could tell that they liked each other. However, one day, they disappeared—Zihark and Mikaya. I wanted to find my best friend Mikaya again, but I didn’t know where she ran off to. I had lived on my own before, and I figured that since she was exactly like me (so I thought) she had probably done the same.
“Sanaki,” Kai told me, “they have taken Zihark to prison.”
“Why?” I asked, both surprised and curious,
“Because of the current war, Sanaki,” Kai told me, “they are rounding anyone up that is not loyal to the Fire Nation’s evil cause. It is only a matter of time before they find us.”
Kai was right. We ended up getting taken as well. The trip was long and hard, but Kai helped me to endure it, and I did. Kai told me that the name of the prison we were now in was called “The Boiling Rock”. I had heard stories of it, and Kai told me it was the most secure prison in the entire Fire Nation. However, I knew of several of the Fire Nation’s flaws, whether it came from my eavesdropping or my fighting the soldiers in Agni Kais. I knew that nothing was foolproof, so as my time here went on, I began analyzing as much of the area that I could without getting caught. Luckily, I was allowed to remain barefoot because it helped me to “see” better. Initially they didn’t care, but I convinced them by saying the better I can “see”, the better I’ll be able to do what they told me to.
Life here was not as bad as Kai and I thought it would be. I wasn’t able to dance and sing as much as I used to, but whenever I had a moment to myself that was what I did. However, I never did any firebending, for I learned early on that that was something that would get you into trouble. I also noticed that Kai would never waterbend either. I decided one day to ask her about this.
“Kai,” I said, “how come you never waterbend anymore?”
Kai told me to stay quiet, “I do not waterbend,” she told me, “because it is more dangerous than firebending. If I am caught, I will likely be put to death. The war has gotten that bad. Zihark is aware of it as well.”
“Where is Zihark?” I asked, “And, is Mikaya with him?”
“Somehow,” Kai replied, “Mikaya managed to avoid getting caught. I do not know where she is, Sanaki. I am sorry.”
“Oh,” I replied, “its okie. I was just wondering. So, where is Zihark?”
“I see him occasionally when I’m doing my duties,” Kai replied, “Oh, and how do they treat you when we are apart?”
“Well,” I said, “considering we’re in a prison, it’s actually pretty good. I mean, they don’t hurt me at all because I behave well. Guess who taught me that?” I smiled and hugged Kai, and she hugged me back.
“Kai,” I said, “I’m going to get you, me, and Zihark out of here one way or another, Okie?”
“Sanaki,” said Kai,”that’s very sweet, but I don’t think it’s possible.”
“Well,” I said, “my plans are not anywhere near done yet, but I think it is. I just need to find the way around this place and how the staff runs and I’ll be in tip-top shape. You won’t have to worry about a thing, Kai. I’ll do everything; you just follow when I need you, Okie?”
“Okay, Sanaki,” Kai replied, “it’s just that I worry about you. You mean so much to me—it’s as if you’re my child.”
I knew long ago that I was not really Kai’s child. After all, she was a waterbender and I was a firebender. However, we had such a close bond that it was better than many bonds between those of families that were biologically related.
“I promise that I won’t let you down, Kai,” I said, and suddenly I heard a whistle, which meantime and the other “anti-Fire Nation” children were being rounded up.
“Goodbye Sanaki,” Kai told me, “do take care of your self until we meet again, please.”
“Okie,” I replied, and ran off to where I was supposed to go…
~Sanaki~
