Chapter 10 - Meanwhile Somewhere...

'Oh my gosh this is such a drag. Living in this pathetically cold place.'

I was once a normal guy living a normal undisturbed life just focusing on myself never had anyone to relay on and I was happy about it. I died one day all alone in the hospital all by myself without having family or friends as I abandoned everything since I was a kid. That was my biggest regret as no one will ever remember me.

I was born without parents so I was an orphan living in an Igloo close to an Eskimo tribe. In the past I was pretty cold, colder than now as I would refuse advances of the tribe even as a toddler I would just bite them till they left me. There were a few stubborn people who constantly had their eye on me mainly the older women they'd leave baskets full of food which I decided to eat but then I decided to return them as I don't wish to be dependant on anyone.

That's when I learned about my gift as when I was three years old I tried fishing with my b.a.r.e hands but I slipped and fell in the water before they could save me I did it myself as I instinctively managed to force the water to lift and pull me back to the white floor.

The tribesmen were surprised and started praising me but i didn't care and walked back home. I decided that day that i would train my water power so i could easily fish. It wasn't easy at first but after many tries I mastered the basics, I could make a water whip and use that to pull a fish from the deep. Now I didn't need to relay on anyone but myself.

Few years later and everyone in the tribe knows me as a good fisherman as i catch lots and lots of fish within a day and so many of the people buy some fish from me and some ask for requests such as catching this kind of fish and that kind of fish, all stupid requests with stupid reasons like this one guy wanted a golden spotted sea trout to keep as a pet.

When I was eight I bought myself my first boat and I was fishing further from the tribe and I have as usually collected lots of fish but as i was heading back whilst not paying attention I crashed into another boat.

That's where I met HIM and HER. HIM I mean by an old man with a bald spot in his hair yet still having long white hair reaching his neck; he had a white goatee beard and asian noodle moustache, they call him master Pakku but I like to call him Water Lee because he's a water Bruce lee but with an angrier temper. And HER I mean by a little girl with tanned skin, long beautiful white hair and blue eyes, Princess goody two shoes Yue. Although she's very pretty but she's a pain in the a.s.s as she complains, m.o.a.ns, explains, wastes time, very cheeky and she's always been around me every since then. I can still remember when I meet them both.

"Can you explain why your boat just hit the princess's boat?"

As he said that water lee then had water wrapped around me and then froze it trapping me in a cocoon of ice.

"I wasn't looking stupid old man."

"Oh - I'm stupid. I see. You are an arrogant kid that doesn't regard other's well being and is blinded by his ignorance as he mouths off to his elders. Let me teach you a lesson."

"You ain't teaching me shit!"

I said as my water power became powered by my rage and so i melted half of the ice encasing me and with my upper body free I send a water whip at him but he froze it the instant I lunched it but then i simply melted the ice on my arms and the lower half.

I lunged at water lee but beneath the body of water between our boats a massive pillar of ice rose just as I was lunging. I was sent flying sky high.

Whilst in the air if I even was to die at least I'll hurt this old man so in mid-air I span and manoeuvred in mid-air with me heading straight at the old man. From high up - like 20 meters high up - I summoned water from below and then I transformed it into an ice lance as I headed straight for him.

The old man noticed and was very surprised at my talent.

Bang!

Water lee managed to make a ball of thick ice around the boat he was in to protect him but the lance managed to pierce the ball but it hurt no one except that it was few centimeters away from stabbing the old man's bald scalp. my hand was stuck in the ice ball so I couldn't get down.

The old man then started to freeze my body inside the cocoon again but this time he was squeezing his fist making the ice pressurised slowly about to make my body burst.

"Stop! Stop Fighting! Uncle Pakku!"

Water lee then stopped his assault and looked back at her, water lee stopped being angry and released me from stupid ice.

"Kid what's your name?"

"My name is...Hydro Poseidon. Just call me Hydro."

Yes my name is Hydro Poseidon, a skinny tanned boy with black hair and dark blue eyes, that time when i introduced myself I only wore pants fur pants without shoes or a shirt.

I thought this name on the spot as I really never bothered naming myself until now since I never had parents, relatives or family.

Soon after I introduced myself to them and they introduced themselves. Water lee then offered to train me how to water bend and I hesitantly agreed as at first I didn't want to relay on someone but I was super curious on how to master this power.

Few days later and I meet Arnook I ask him for a handshake which he complies as he's giving me a handshake he blanks out for a few second as if in a day dream but his eyes show huge surprise.

Afterwards he asked me to become his daughter's bodyguard, I tried to reject but he said I haven't got a choice so I unwillingly accepted his offer and became the girl's nanny.

"From now on I'm your bodyguard. All because your daydreaming dad asked me to."

"Don't say that about my dad - he never daydreams."

"Yes he did!"

"No he didn't!"

"Yes he did!"

I don't know why but I enjoyed teasing this girl very much, her pouting was cute.

And so 4 years pass and I'm now 12. I mastered everything Pakku has taught me plus the healing magic the old lady healer Suhe taught me. I managed to master healing to a tier above even hers as I could eliminate diseases and even make limbs regrow. I could go head to head with the old man, the most important thing when you are using bending is being creative and crafty.

I also noticed that Yue has been eyeing me and treating me differently, she shows tender eyes when looking at me but she's shyer than ever as she hits me out of the random. I guess she has a crush on me.
