WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?

The Avatar's gaze lingered on the three children one final moment, his eyes flickering with something almost like curiosity before he too vanished into the distorting reality. The pressure of his presence lifted like a physical weight, leaving behind only the acrid smell of burning stone where his footprints had marked the earth.

Li Hua felt the invisible essence that had been holding her back finally loosen its grip. In that same instant, she exploded toward the hooded figure, her daggers materializing in her hands as killing intent erupted from her small frame like a supernova. 

She moved faster than thought, spiritual essence crackling around her like lightning as she drove him into the frost-covered ground with enough force to shatter stone. The impact carved a crater beneath his body, and before the dust could settle, both of her daggers were already pressed against his throat, their edges hungry for blood.
