Children of the Nations

"Boiling Water"

He was born from both Fire and Water: the incantation of cold and hot.

Feng was a simple boy. He would practice night and day, trying to improve his weak fire bending.

He often had to ask his father why his bending was so weak. And he would simply answer:

"You have talent, it's just that the water in your soul is dimming down the other part of your soul: the fire part."

Many of the Fire Nation children would make fun of him: for being different, for being so weak, for his mixed soul…

Feng would run to his mother, hot tears stinging his eyes, and tell her what the children said about him that day.

She would smile softly and give him a tasty Water Tribe snack and talk him through his troubles.

And by the time he finished his snack, his face would be gleaming with joy and the memory of the day soon out of memory.

Being the incarnation of Fire and Water was hard; but it was also very wonderful.
