Kira hurried up the steps to the palace door, two steps at a time. She glanced up at the huge doors and suddenly remembered her arrangement with Leon to meet in the forest. Kira picked up her satin skirts, she had been requested to dress in formal attire, and ran down the steps startling the little robins resting on the grass. She looked back once and hurriedly ran up to the steward who was standing there in astonishment and murmured a few words to him, rushed back down the stairs and off to the forest.
Leon coughed as smoke seeped from the burning house as the water tribe fire-fighters washed out the fire. The Kinotos house was made of paper like all traditional Japanese houses were made of, but very insufficient for living in the fire village. The Kinotos ignored the remarks made about the house and the advice given to renovate the house. The fire had not been arson but was a completely unforseenable occurence. Leon gazed at house, he could almost taste the onigiris that he used to eat with the Kinotos. He would sit for hours beside the Kinoto's grandmother while she was making sushi and other Japanese foods. He was woken by a shout and a jolt of his shoulder, his little sister Rizina was tugging his arm,
"Leon aren't you supposed to be meeting Kira in the forest?"
"How did you know?" asked Leon. Rizina looked at him mysteriously. Leon was the only one that knew that Rizina had some gift* of Sight** or telepathy. Those gifts were not very popular with the fire tribe and as the daughter of the fire tribe leader, people would not be impressed. Leon murmured a thanks and rushed off into the direction of the forest.
*the 'gift' is an ability that may be passed down through generations or given by random. These gifts include fire, earth, water, wind bending, telepathy, pyschokinesis***, etc.
**Sight is the gift/ability to see into the future. The Sight can also be used to see through concrete objects, i.e. walls, doors, etc. The Sight has many other uses as well, all to do with 'seeing.'
***Pyschokinesis is the gift/ability to move things with your mind.
