Chapter 17: Kanuk's Greed.

The whole tribe watches as the ship of Zuko starts to sail away. Their faces were tense, but more than that. Fei and Katara looked at Kanuk in shock at the power he had shown.

"Kanuk. What was that? How did you freeze those soldiers?!" Katara looked at Kanuk with excited eyes. She did not know how he did it, but she knew that she wanted to be able to do the same.

"Man, the way you moved was a lot like you were an Airbender!" Fei said with a huge smile. Thinking back to the air temple where she grew up. Fei smiled at the memories.

Kanuk smiled in embarrassment as the whole tribe started surrounding him. The children clung to his pants, and Katara and RFei were all in his face.

"Geee... Thanks, everyone. I guess I was just lucky." The tribe smiled as they listened to Kanuk's humble words. They thought he would turn arrogant with how strong he had become.

"Speaking of. When did you plan to tell us you are a water bender?" Gran Gran asked with a smile as she stepped forward. Kanuk rubbed his cheek as he looked away.

Honestly... He was not gonna tell them for as long as he could. The more people know about his water bending, the harder it will be for him to explain why he will be able to bend the other elements.

He planned to set on the journey as in the original. When he came home, he would have an excuse that went along the lines of, "The avatar gave me the skill to bend the other elements!"

But that plan is out the window now. 

"I was gonna tell you soon, I promise. Now, there is no reason since everyone knows I can bend." Kanuk explained with a smile as he looked away in embarrassment. He does not like lying to basically his grandma.

"It's okay, Kanuk. I get it. But I am afraid there is a more pressing issue. What did you mean by you four not being here for them to come back?" Gran Gran asked with a concerned look as she thought about what Kanuk said to Iroh.

Katara, Fei and Sokka looked at Kanuk with a serious face, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"Well, we found the avatar, and she'll bring peace to the four nations. For that to happen. She has to master the elements, and I plan to help her." Kanuk explained with a smile. The real reason is that he wants to leave the South.

Yeah, it's nice he has beasts he could hunt, and in a whole year, he would become so much stronger that even the avatar would not be able to beat him. But what is the point of that?

What is the point of him being inside this vast world? That is so much different from his last world? He wants to go outside and explore what it has to offer.

He wants gold and riches. He wants his name to spread as the strongest man to ever live. He wants to be greedy for once in his entire life. Everyone had the dream of becoming the strongest at least once.

He never had the chance in his last life. What is wrong with him being greedy for things everyone is greedy for? Just because he has great power does not mean he is not like everyone else.

In the end, Kanuk is a human with great power. Like all humans with great power, he changes. Sooner than later, he will change, whether he likes it or not.

That's his reason for wanting to leave this place.

"Katara, Sokka. Are you coming with me?" Kanuk asked with a smile as he held his hand out. Fei smiled before putting her own hand over his. Katara sighed before with a worried smile, her hand resting on Fei's.

"Sokka? You will have to come with us. Unless you want to die from old age without even experiencing a woman's touch~" Sokka blushed as he heard Kanuk's voice. The tribe smiled teasingly.

"Fine! I will go, but not for any weird reason!" Sokka wanted to be buried under the ground in shame as he rested his hand on Katara's. Kanuk smirked.

"Before we go, let's prepare some supplies. In case we can't stop for some food," Kanuk said as he walked towards his igloo. Fei, Katara, and Sokka followed him before grabbing a bag to stuff with dried food.

It's not the best, but it will have to do if they don't want to go hungry. If they run out of food. Kanuk got tons of money to buy some on the way.

Half an hour later, The gang sat on Appa, waving to the tribe as they left with Appa soaring into the sky smoothly. Kanuk looked down and smiled as he saw the tribe get smaller.

"Fei, Katara. Our journey first is to the North Pole. We can learn water bending techniques from them, and Fei can learn to use water bending." Fei and Katara nod. While Sokka is just sitting back, enjoying the wind rustling in his face.

"Kanuk, how long is it gonna take to get there. Can we make a stop on the way to the air temple? I wanna visit my friends." Fei asked with a smile as she looked at Kanuk. Kanuk nodded his head, pity in his eyes as he looked at Fei.

The previous Fire Lords have pulled a Hitler on the air temple. In fact, they pulled such a Hitler move. That, the only airbenders left are likely just Fei and some wondering benders.

Now, that is what Kanuk calls a massive Genocide. Wiping out an entire race of benders so they don't go against them. The more Kanuk thinks, the more he wants to kill Ozai.

'Damn... The Fire Lord really pulled a Hitler on this world. Imagine what would have happened if the new avatar was to end up reborn as Azula... Dam!' Just the thought of a crazy woman like Azula able to use the other elements sent a shiver down his spine.

"Sure. On the way to the air temple, it will probably take a few days, so in the meantime, I will be teaching you and Katara how to use water bending." While travelling, Kanuk plans to teach Katara how to condense water from the atmosphere.

And plans to teach Fei how to start moving water. He will condense water from the atmosphere. Then, he will have Fei sense the water before they reach the air temple.

"For now, we should get some rest, especially you, Fei. You did just come out of the iceberg." Sokka was already snoring like he owned the world back there, and Kanuk could sense that Fei was tired.

"Sure!" Fei plopped onto her back and closed her eyes as she started snoring. Katara and Kanuk looked at her with bemused faces.

Shhhhhh*

With a pull of his hand, a water ball the size of his fist appeared in his palm. Turning to Katara, he smiled as he pulled her into his lap, leaning his chin on her shoulder.

"I will teach you how to condense water from the air. Every time you make a water ball the size of a fist, I will reward you with a kiss~" Kanuk teased as he leaned down.

"You are on~" Katara smirked as he looked up, planning a kiss on Kanuk's lips. Kanuk smiled before he started teaching Katara how to do it.

Leaving for the air temple. By the way, do you guys want piercing blood to be a move unique to Kanuk, or should he teach Katara and Fei?

Leave your opinion.
