The One Who Collects

Chapter 16

The sun was shining brightly, beaming down at a beautiful and calm waterfall. Surrounding the waterfall was a forest and beside the waterfall was a one-story house entirely made of earth.

*CRASH**BOOM**CRASH*

"ADAM! Wake the f.u.c.k up!" Kalama screamed, picking up Adam and throwing him out of the house, into the river that flowed from the waterfall.

"What the f.u.c.k woman!? Don't do that again, the water is freezing. And what is the time?" Adam said, coming out of the water.

"It is 12, go catch some food." Kalama said going back into the house.

"Harsh lady. I thought she was nice when I first met her but turns out she was just acting to be caring back then. At least she is not Emotionally intense like I thought she was." Adam said while drying himself with his fire.

It has been a year since he started training Explosion-bending with Ignatius. During the beginning of the training, Adam had to learn more about bending and when he knew more about bending, Ignatius started training him and Kalama Explosion-bending. Three months after the beginning of the training, Adam found out that Ignatius can also lightning-bend, and Ignatius was the one that trained Kalama, so he asked Ignatius to teach him. Ignatius said that Adam will owe him another favor, which makes it two before he trained him. Adam agreed so Ignatius said that after he learns Explosion-bending, he will be trained in Lightning-bending.

They are now living close to a large pond so Adam could also practice water-bending because he shouldn't neglect his other bending since he is the 'Avatar'. Seven months after the start of the training, he managed to do Explosion-bending, but he didn't want to because it had the risk of blowing up his head. He started training Lightning-bending with Ignatius and mastered it in three months.

Adam wanted to leave after mastering it but Ignatius told him to stay with them and train his body. And for the rest of the two months, Adam spent most of his time training his body then spends his free time practicing the other bending and sub-bending.

Today is his last day staying with them since he keeps getting sidetrack from his main mission.

"Adam, before you go, since today is your last day with us, we should all do one last training. You won't get the map if you don't do this final workout." Ignatius said, standing up from under the waterfall he was meditating.

"I don't want to do it, just give me the map and I will leave. I don't like working out, it is boring for me. I can't understand why you want me to work out so bad. Let me just go and hunt some Eel hound, eat and leave with the map." Adam said, turning toward Ignatius.

"Your body is your strongest weapon and shield, you need to take care of it." Ignatius, said while walking out of the pond.

"Adam, are you stupid or what? What if you lost your bending during a fight, what will you do? You will have to fight with your body, or with a weapon. It is better to train your body as you train your bending in my opinion. After we are done with the final training, you will go and hunt five Eel hounds." Kalama said also coming out of the house. She a hakama like pants with a cloth tied around her b.r.e.a.s.t to act as a bra.

Adam looked at her stomach and saw she have six-packs. He looked down at his. 'Z why did you put me into a body that doesn't seem to grow taller, don't gain that much muscle even if it is strong, and has hair that grows fast?'

[It was a lottery, boy. Be happy you didn't go into a body that is ninety-nine years old and was going to die of natural causes one hour later.]

'True. That will be bad'

"Ok, we will start by doing a plank for 1 hour, then 1000 push-ups, then handstand for 30 minutes, then 1000 squats, then 2000 jump rope, then 2000 side jump, then 2000 forward and backward jump, 2000 sit-ups, then finally a 5-mile run. We will run from here to the end of the river, which is about 2.5 miles, then back." Ignatius said while doing different kinds of stretches, "OK?"

"Why so much?" Adam said yawning.

"Because I want to. What of you Kalama?" Ignatius said, looking over to Kalama.

"I don't care. I can do that easily." Kalama said while stretching.

"Ok, we will do some stretches, then start." Ignatius said while jumping up and down.

"Damn, what a bother." Adam said, sighing.

*After the training.*

Adam was laying on the ground, breathing heavily with Ignatius to his left and Kalama to the left of Ignatius.

"That was hard, my legs are tired." Kalama said while breathing heavily. "Adam, when you leave, where will you go?"

"I was thinking of going to the air temple but, I need to think more." Adam said, standing up with shaking legs. "I am going to bath now."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adam sat under a tree, after eating two Eel hound by himself, patting his stomach.

*BURP* "That was good. OK, Z, give me some hints about the animals I suppose to kill. I am wasting a lot of time thinking. Without no clue, I can't do anything." Adam said, patting his stomach.

[Talk to the dragons Ran and Shaw.}

"That it? Who are they?"

[That is it and find that out yourself.]

*Phoooooooot*

"That was a good one." Adam said after farting.

"Haa, I wish I had a wife." Ignatius said sitting next to him, *SNIF**SNIF* "What the f.u.c.k is that smell."

"My fart, also isn't Kalama your wife?" Adam asked while standing up and shaking his a.s.s so the smell will leave.

"Don't do that in my face. Kalama was never my wife, we lied to the villagers. She is my student and was my student since when she was four." Ignatius said closing his nose.

"Then why were you jerking off to her while saying 'wife'? I mean, who does that. Wait, how old are you?" Adam said, sitting down.

"I wish she was my wife, and I am 47 years old. How old are you? You never told me." Ignatius said still closing his nose.

"I am 21 years old." Adam said standing back up, "Another one is coming..."

"Wait..."

*PHOOOOOOT* Adam farted close to Ignatius's face.

"That was nice." Adam said, turning and looking at Ignatius. Ignatius was laying leaning on to the tree with foam coming out from his mouth. "Yo Ignatius, you ok? Wake up."

*SL.A.P**SL.A.P**SL.A.P*

"He is knocked out." Adam said sitting back down, "I don't know why he is exaggerating. Let me smell."

*SNIFF**SNIFF*

...

*BARRRRF*

Adam vomited on himself, "What the f.u.c.k? This came out of me? Damn, that bad. I also have to take a bath again, f.u.c.k."

*Three hours later*

"Yawn. That was a good night's sleep. Hmm, what is this thing coming out from my mouth?" Ignatius said happily while spitting out the white foam.

"You are finally awake." Adam said staring at Ignatius.

"..." Ignatius looked at Adam happily then became angry, "Don't ever come next to me when you fart, it will kill me. What that on your cloth?"

"Your exaggerating. I even smelt it, nothing happened to me. Also, this is bird poop from the tree, for some reason they all pooped on me." Adam said standing up, "We should go take another bath. I will also have to throw this cloth away."

"The bird was revenging their nose. Let go." Ignatius said running toward a big pond close to the waterfall, removing his clothes and jumped in.

Adam removed his clothes and entered the pond.

"Ignatius, do you know the dragons Ran and Shaw?" Adam asked after some time swimming in the pond, washing.

"The dragons Ran and Shaw? You have to talk to Kalama about that, I think she knows about that." Ignatius said while resting his back on the edge of the pond.

"Ask me what?" Kalama said entering the pond, n.a.k.e.d.

"Do you know anything about the dragons Ran and Shaw?" Adam asked not caring about her being n.a.k.e.d.

"Oh them, they live in the Sun Warriors' ancient city. If you go there, you can't just meet them, you have to do a trial and for you to go through the trial, you need to present them eternal flame." Kalama said while a backstroke.

'It looks like Ignatius is going to **** her any second now.' Adam thought while looking at Ignatius who has a creepy smile on his face, "Kalama, how do you know this?"

"My father told me. He once went there when he was young. He said that when he went there, he asked the Sun Warriors that he wants to learn more about fire-bending but, instead of them teaching him, he was given the eternal flame and told to present it to the dragon. Since he was alone, he had to present two flames, one on his left and the other on his right. When he presented it, they didn't accept it so he created his form of the dancing dragon, which enabled him to dance with two dragons instead of one. He got enlightened and his fire became green. I don't yet know the characteristics of the fire because when I asked him, he said that he will tell me if I manage to defeat him. That is impossible, for now." Kalama said while using soap to wash.

"Dance with the dragon? I will tell Adan about the Sun Warriors' ancient city, he always wanted to dance with a dragon." Adam said, borrowing the soap from Kalama.

"If I go there and mimic his new style of the dancing dragon, will I also be able to dance with the two dragons?" Ignatius asked, moving behind Adam with the crispy smile still on his face.

"No. My father took my big brother to do the same dance. If my father wasn't there to save him, he should have died." Kalama said resting her back on the edge of the pond.

"OK." Ignatius said then whispered to Adam, "Hey Adam, I really want to have s.e.x with her, what of you?"

Adam looked at him and then at Kalama, 'Hmmm... I got it.' Adam thought then said, "I envy you Kalama."

"Huh, why? You are the avatar, what do you envy me for?" Kalama said while looking at Adam.

"I am jealous of your family. I never had a father or mother growing up. I was all alone with my four brothers, but they also left me. I lived alone in the slums, no fun, robbing people and running. I had no fun childhood, while you, you smile when you talk about your family. I envy the family you have." Adam said while crying. "I wish I were you."

"Oh Adam, don't cry," Kalama said while hugging Adam, and his head entering her big b.r.e.a.s.t. "A twelve years old boy, surviving on his own. I am sorry, I didn't know about your past."

Adam hugged her back while crying in her b.r.e.a.s.t. He looked over to Ignatius and smirked.

'You little prick. You are not even twelve. Twenty-one with a face like that, damn, I wish I was him.' Ignatius thought then said, "Ok, stop with all this emotional stuff. Adam, why do you want to know about them?"

Kalama sat down and put Adam beside her.

"They stole a dragon egg from me which I found in the forest. They beat me up and took it from me, that why when you found me in the forest, I was badly injured." Adam said while 'shivering' in 'fear.' "They said if I get stronger, I can look for them and defeat them. They will return the Dragon egg to me. I want to go fight them since I am stronger."

"I will join you. How dare they attack a defenseless kid and take his egg! Ignatius, you will join, won't you?"

"Hmm, I need to go back to your father and inform him of the completion of your training..." Ignatius looked at Kalama face, "That can wait, I will join you guys. Don't worry Adam, I will help you get back the dragon egg. I promise."

"OK, I will go pack the things we will need." Kalama said, leaving the pond, "Oh Adam, when you are done with your bath, remove the water from the pond and replace it with clean water."

"OK." Adam said cheerfully. After she left, he looked at Ignatius and smirked, "How was that, smooth wasn't it."

"You player. Was the back story real?" Ignatius asked curiously.

"Yeah. I tried to get my revenge since I thought I was strong enough but they messed me up. You guys saved me and treated me, thank for that. OK, get out the pond so I can replace the water." Adam left the water with Ignatius. He removed the dirty water with his water-bending and replaced it with clean water from the river.

He then went into the house and slept.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"WAKE THE F.U.C.K UP!" Ignatius shouted, picking up Adam and throwing him out of the house, into the river. "Look at the sun, listen to the birds, it is time to wake up.

"Why did you do that?" Adam said while getting out of the river and drying himself.

"Because I want to." Ignatius said, sitting on the ground.

It's obvious you are still mad about yesterday," Adam said, sitting beside Ignatius, "Don't worry, it was in the past. Maybe she has already forgotten about it..."

"Adam, are you OK." Kalama shouted, running toward Adam, picking him up and hugging him.

"Yeah." Adam said with his head on her b.r.e.a.s.t, 'You did the same thing to me yesterday.'

"Ignatius, don't ever do that to Adam again." Kalama said, looking at Ignatius angrily. "Also Adam, you need to learn to wake up in time. Next time, I will be the one to throw you harder." She said dropping him. "We have nothing important to carry with us. Only seven knives and two forks. Adam, burn the other stuff then return the house to the earth."

"OK."

After doing what he was asked to do, Adam met them next to the waterfall.

"Looking at the map, we are close to the Seedy merchant's pier, so we will take a ship to the harbor at the shore of Mo Ce Sea. We will then switch to a ship that will take us Ember Island, from there, we will fly to Sun Warriors' ancient city." Ignatius said while pointing at the location on the map. "The journey from here to Sun Warriors' ancient city, will take us one and a half days to complete."

"How do we pay for the ride?" Adam asked.

"We will sneak in." Ignatius said while folding up the map. "We should go."

*Two days later*

Adam landed at the border Sun Warriors' ancient city and immediately laid on the ground. Ten seconds later, Ignatius and Kalama landed next to him. Ignatius picked up Adam by his shirt and punched him in the face.

"What did you steal that you had twenty navy ship after us? We almost got killed." Ignatius asked angrily.

"If you guys weren't with me, I could have gotten away without no problem. I should have just gone without you guys." Adam said while looking into Ignatius's eyes.

"Don't give me that shit! You went into the fire lord house, at Ember Island, and stole something from the house. Are you crazy? Are you smart? Isn't the Avatar supposed to be righteous?" Ignatius said while throwing Adam on the ground.

"Just because I am the Avatar doesn't mean I will be good or heroic." Adam said while standing up and looking into the cage, covered with a red cloth with the fire-nation symbol, he was holding.

"Is that what you stole? What is in that cage?" Kalama asked.

"It is none of your business." Adam said, walking toward the Sun Warriors' ancient city.

"It is my concern because it belongs to my father! If you don't give it to me, I will attack you with Ignatius. Even if you can escape, I will go home and increase the bounty already in your head. Now give ME!" Kalama yelled angrily.

"Not like I will let you guys stay alive if you attack me. I am the Avatar with all four elements while you are the fire nation princess with only the fire element and he is the fire nation royal teacher with only the fire element. If we fight, who do you think will win?" Adam said while staring into Kalama's eyes.

"..."

"I thought so. Now I will be going to take what the dragon took from me. If you don't want to help me you can go and increase my bounty, I don't care. I will just kill whoever comes after me." Adam said while walking away from the two.

"... What do you think he stole that father sent twenty navy ship after us?" Kalama asked. "It must be some kind of animal since it is in a cage."

"Whatever it is, it must be important, to have twenty navy ship after us. Maybe it is a rear item. Haaa, I am going to help him with the dragon." Ignatius said walking toward Adam.

"Huh? Why? Just let him go. I want to go back home and report to father." Kalama said while pulling Ignatius back to her.

"I promised him I will help him and I don't want to break that promise. As you know, to gain mastery over the light chakra, so you can explosion-bend, you need to make a vow. Well, my vow was to always keep my promise. I am going to help, you can follow me if you want." Ignatius said, then ran after Adam.

"Damn. Ignatius wait for me, I will help." Kalama said, running after Ignatius.

"Why are you guys following me?" Adam asked as he walked through the ruined city.

"I need to keep my promise." Ignatius said while walking beside Adam.

"I came here to help Ignatius, not you." Kalama said, walking beside Ignatius. "When we are done here, I expect you to at least tell me what in that cage."

"Yeah, ok." Adam said sarcastically. 'Z, can you show Ignatius, Kalama, and my stats?"

[Huh? I was having s.e.x and you distracted me for that? Here you go. Don't talk to me again for some time.]

'They are strong. Especially Ignatius. He is already a grandmaster in fire-bending and he also has a raping skill? Damn, he is a real rapist and a good one at that. They both Tortur and Assassinat people. I guess that Ignatius is her teacher since his own is higher. At least if I combine both of their PL, I am still stronger' Adam thought.

"It looks like a battleground their." Ignatius said as he walked toward a place where the buildings are more destroyed than the other. "The people who fought must be strong to be able to cause such damage. Damn, look at that sharp cut. What is so sharp that it can cut almost a building, so smooth, in half?" Ignatius said, pointing at a building that was almost cut in half, smoothly.

'There must have been fighting for something important.' Adam thought as he activated his Seismic sense. He stopped moving and quickly created one big fire disk and threw it on top of a building.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Adan was sitting on top of a tall building looking down at the spot he and Kelama first fought.

"What are you doing here?" Kelama asked, flying, using fire-bending, up to him and sitting next to him.

"Resting. I am so bored, nothing to do." Adan said while creating five fire disks and moving it around him.

"Yeah. Hehe, next time we fight, I will win." Kelama said, looking toward Adan and smiling.

"We shall see. Judoso said we should not fight so we have to wait till we leave." Adan said, looking away from Kelama. "We can't disobey him since he is my teacher and the Sun Warrior chief.

"Uh-hu, that true. Hmm, who are those three?" Kelama said, pointing at three people who were observing Adan and Kelama battle site.

"I don't know, but let observe... What the f.u.c.k." Adan said while jumping up, dodging a big fire disk that one of the people threw while throwing his own.

"Adan, are you OK?" Kelama asked while getting on guard and putting on a mask.

"Yeah, but how did they know we were here." Adan said, landing beside Kelama while also putting on a mask.

"They must be strong, let fight them to train." Kelama said happily while throwing multiple fireballs at the people.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hohoho, Adam you have good sense. If you didn't throw that big fire disk, he could have caught us off guard." Ignatius said while stopping all the fire disks at mid-air and returning it.

'Z please show their stats.'

[Again? See.]

"Hehe, this will be easy beating the sense into these tribes men." Adam said out loud then thought, 'Z why is their name masked?'

[They are wearing a mask. When someone is wearing a mask, you won't see their name unless you already know who is behind the mask. If you want to bypass the mask, you will have to pay with points.]

'Everything is point for you.'

[I am a seller, not a giver.]

"Wait, there is more behind them." Kelama said while throwing her own fire disk to intercept fireballs thrown by the other one that looks like a girl.

Adam looked and saw more tribes men behind them and one holding a staff in front of the first two tribesmen.

"You attack one of my own, you won't be forgiven." The staff tribe man said.

"Deja Vu." Adam said. 'Z combine their PL, you can take my point.'

[You are becoming a good boy.]

'At least it not all of them.'

"This will be hard." Ignatius said while stretching.

"Damn, we have to fight them then the dragons? This will not end well." Kalama said, looking at the tribesmen fiercely.
