The One Who Collects

Adam opened his eyes and looked around him. He saw he was inside a brown rectangular room with a high ceiling with a big banner with the fire nation symbol on it. The only thing inside the room was the bed he was laying on and across the bed was the door.

"Ow, shit My head." Adam said, placing his left palm on his four head. "Oh, I can move my left hand again but my right sight is blurry. I also can't feel anything below my waist." He said while punching his legs. Z, can you show my body statue?"

{

Body Statue: Right eye not fully healed {Don't open your right eye for three days and it will be fully healed}, All nerve cells from the waist down are destroyed {Get healed or wait for it to be healed}

}

'Damn, that woman Kirima healed most of my injuries in... Z, can you tell me how many days was I out?'

[About 2 days.]

'Haaa, I remember waking up because of a pain, but I can't remember it clearly. But where am I? Am I in the fire-nation?' He heard footsteps coming toward the door talking outside the door so he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. The people were talking outside the door Then he heard the door open and someone came in.

"You mean that if you had the chance to become the fire lord, you won't? Why?" A voice he doesn't recognize that sound like a girl came through the door.

"I don't just like the idea of ruling over a country or anything big. Even if I like the prestige, I don't like the restriction to one country or nation. I won't be able to move around much, it will be boring." A man's voice he somehow recognized said coming through the door then close it.

"What will you do if you somehow became king?" The first voice asked, sounding curious.

"I will hand the ruling spot to someone I trust and my close friend." The man said, his voice sounding closer to Adam.

"Ignatius, where am I?" Adam asked once he recognized the man's voice.

"Woah... What the f.u.c.k man, you scared me." Ignatius shouted, breathing heavily.

Adam opened his eyes and used his hand to push himself up so he could sit up. He saw Ignatius on the floor shaking and the other person behind him using him as a shield.

"Why did you get so scared," Adam said, amazed. "Who is that?"

"I got scared because the healers told me it will take you approximately five days for you to awake, I wasn't expecting you to wake two days before the date they gave me. I also wasn't focusing on my surroundings that much. This is Adua, he is going to be your new teacher." Ignatius said, standing up and moving out the way to introduce him.

"Why didn't you bring someone stronger than a little kid?" Adam said confused, "What can a weakling like him teach me?"

"You think I am weak? Let me tell you I am one of the best healers you may ever meet in your life and I will be teaching you healing. You will have to learn fast since I have somewhere to go and Ignatius said you are a prodigy and you are the 'Dark Avatar?'" Adua said looking at Adam up and down, "Amazing how you managed to wake up so early, you are really special like Ignatius said."

"Yeah, he is a good healer. Ok, I want to have a private conversation with Adam. Can you please excuse us." Ignatius said, pushing Adua out the room and locking the door.

"Why did you say I am the dark Avatar?" Adam asked.

"Tell me, how can you bend all elements without being the Avatar? Hehe, tell me, I want to also bend all the element." Ignatius asked, stretching.

"It not like it really matter if I tell you. See, I went into the spirit world when I was ten and I met a dying spirit and I saved her. She said I was a nice guy and slapped me out of the spirit world. When I got out, I found out I can bend all the elements." Adam said signing, "She said I should stay in the shadow of the Avatar and keep the person alive. The person should only die a natural death or from sickness. That's why I want to get strong so if the Avatar ever meets someone stronger than her, I would help her."

"That how you were able to bend all elements? It was given to you?" Ignatius said in surprise.

"Yeah."

"Do you know the spirit or have a description of it?" Ignatius asked while thinking.

"No, I kind of forgot its description after I left the spirit world. Maybe I never even noticed its description. It's crazy."

"Oh... Then forget that. Adua, Kalama, and I will keep you able to bend all elements a secret so you don't have to worry about anyone else knowing." Ignatius said sitting on the bed. 

"How did the boy even know about me being able to bend all elements?" Adam asked trying to fly with air-bending. He managed to float a little bit off the bed before he fell back down on the bed. Ignatius didn't notice this happen. 'I can move around on my own even if my leg is broken. Nice.'

"I told him you are a water-bender and then you breathed out fire when I twisted your waist." Ignatius said indifferently.

"So that was the f.u.c.k.i.n.g reason I woke up because of a pain. Damn, it was painful I will do you back. I will make you feel worse pain than I did when you twisted my waist." Adam shouted.

"Yeah yeah. I did it for you so be happy and appreciative. Ok, forget about that, I want you to help me with something."

"With what?" Adam asked, laying back on the bed.

"You know that sensing thing you can do?"

"Seismic sense?"

"Yeah, that thing. I want you to help me snick into Kalama's room without no one noticing. You use your seismic sense to keep track of Kalama's room and when you feel like no one is there or they are not paying attention, you will tell me and I will sneak into her room and give her something." Ignatius whispered to Adam. "She said she don't want no one knowing when 

"What am I going to get back in return?" Adam asked, looking at Ignatius.

"I am using one of my favors so you don't get anything in return." Ignatius said grinning.

"You are using your favor for this? Maybe you don't know what I can do for you with a favor." Adam said, signing.

"Now, it is night, so she will be asleep and the guard will be tired and lazy. let me put you on the floor." Ignatius Ignatius said standing up and walking to the door.

Adam put his hand on the ground and tried to use seismic sense. A he looked at Ignatius and signed.

"I can't use it since the ship is made of iron, not earth." Adam said, shaking his head.

"Oh..." Ignatius said, sounding frustrated.

"You can just snick in, or is it that you can't." Adam said.

"I can, haven't I told you that I was an assassin once in my life? I most definitely could do that but I want to walk into the room without sneaking in. I don't want her to think I am a thief or a rapist." Ignatius said then thought.

"I created a new technique that can help you. I call it Air-colocation." Adam said.

"You mean Echolocation?"

"No Air-colocation. It is when I can sense any disturbance in the air. It is a very wide range and I can even use it to look into small places. I can even use it to sense characteristics of things like how tall they are, how fat they are if they are sitting or lying, and many other things. But I can't sense things that cause too little disturbance to the air, like blinking, at least for now." Adam said proudly. "I am a prodigy, better than all these prodigies out there. Aren't I?"

[No, you needed my help multiple times.]

"Ok, that good. Help me check if there is too much disturbance around her room and inside. She lives in the second-highest room in the tower." Ignatius said grinning.

"Ok, wait some time. There is so much disturbance, maybe you will have to wait about three hours or so." Adam said, closing his eyes. "Maybe you should tell that Adua boy to go to his room. He is still standing outside with his ear pasted on the door."

Ignatius went outside the door and sent Adua to his room. He came back to the room and stood there in silence while Adam kept watching the room and around it.

They waited shorter than expected until there was little to no disturbance in the room.

"It time. Everyone around the room breathing is steady but the people inside are still active. Another thing, there are actually two people inside the room. One is Kalama and the other is a man. I know he is a man because he doesn't have a big c.h.e.s.t like most of the female dose." Adam said yawning, "I am going to sleep. good night and good luck."

"Oh, another person is in there? F.u.c.k that, I don't care, thank you. Hehe, I love you boy. I am out." Ignatius left the room and went to Kalama's room.

"Haaa, I am bored? I have been meaning to ask you for a long time Z, do you have a phone or computer in the store?" Adam asked, looking up at the ceiling.

[I can make is so of course.]

"Can I buy it?"

[Wait till the store refreshes and it comes in. Even if you have them, you need wifi for them to work properly. There is also no satellite in this world so the usage of the electronic will be limited.]

"I am freaking bored. Nothing to do except think." Adam said, raising his hand and creating multiple fire-balls, air-balls, earth-balls from many earth pieces he frond on his body and around the room, and water-ball from the atmosphere. "And play with the elements. At least now I can bend all elements simultaneously."

[When some people are bored, they either eat or sleep, in your case, you can sleep.]

"Yeah." Adam kept playing with the elements, mixing them and shaping them. After some time he went to sleep. Adam closed his eyes and went to sleep.

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

"Adam, wake up, we are in the capital." Ignatius said, picking up Adam and flinging him over his shoulder. He had on a shirt with the sleeves cut off and black pants. "We are going to the palace to meet the fire lord, my brother." He said, walking out of the room.

"The fire lord is your brother? I didn't know that." Adam said, cleaning his eyes.

"Haven't I told you?" Ignatius said as he walked through the ship.

"No. Wait, doesn't that make Kalama your niece? Why do you want to have s.e.x with your niece? You always talk about that." Adam asked confused.

"You will understand when your wife gives birth to a beautiful daughter. Also, he is not my blood brother, we are stepbrother. His father married my mother when I was two years old and he was already fifteen years old." Ignatius said slapping Adams b.u.t.t. "Oh, I forgot you can't feel it."

"Where are we going now?"

"First, I will look for Adua then we will ride a carriage to the Royal Palace. Also, stop talking, your breath stinks. I can smell it even if your head is behind me."

Ignatius left the ship and started walking toward a blue water-bender ship wich Adua other water-benders were standing in front of, talking. 

"He is the sixth-best healer in the southern tribe and I think he will be a good teacher since he was able to explain to me the basics of healing and I understood it easily." Ignatius said walking toward the group.

"Oh really? I am looking forward to it. Also, do you know where the hottest part of the planet is?" Adam asked, looking around the harbor.

"You don't know? It is Volcano Boneclad. It is freaking hot over there even I can't survive there. I don't think the Dragon Ran and Shaw, can survive the heat there." Ignatius said adjusting Adam on his shoulder.

"How do you know that?"

"Trust me, I know. Don't talk, we are getting close to the group of water benders, I don't want you embarrassing me with your breath." Ignatius said. He walked up to the group, cleared his throat puffed out his c.h.e.s.t and tapped Adua. "It's time to go." Ignatius said while making his voice deeper.

"Wow, look at that man muscles, so framed." A girl whispered in the group. Both Adam and Ignatius heard it and he puffed out his c.h.e.s.t, more.

"I wish I was as handsome and strong as him. Look, he is even carrying a man on his shoulders without any problem." A boy whispered in the group.

Adam signed and made a farting noise with his mouth then he blew out some breath out. 

"What is that smell?" The same voice who said he wants to be as strong as Ignatius asked.

Adam made more farting noise and use air-bending to control his breath into everyone's nose in the group.

"Adua, we will have to leave you alone with that stinking man, Sorry." The girl who said something about Ignatius's muscles said as she left the group. 

All of them said goodbye and ran inside the ship. As they were running, the three of them heard a female say:

"He stinks. I was thinking of him as a gentleman but it turns out he can't even control himself. Disgusting."

Ignatius grabbed Adam by his legs and held him upside down in front of him.

"Why did you do that." Ignatius asked furiously.

"Nothing, I was bored and wanted to see if my breath stinks that much." Adam said, folding his arms.

"You f.u.c.ker. I will pay you back." Ignatius said, flinging Adam back on his shoulder.

Ignatius just started walking while Adua followed him.

"Ignatius, what's up with him? My first impression when I met him last night was that he was a creep. But now, I think there is something wrong with his head. I mean, who does that?" Adua tiptoed and whispered in Ignatius's ear.

"Do what?" Ignatius asked, looking down at Adua.

"Make it seem like you farted."

"Yeah, something is wrong with him. I also sometimes hear him talking to himself and dozing off when we are fighting. Who dozes out when he is fighting someone that could kill him? One time I heard him shouting about killing things to gain points and when I asked him what he means, guess what he said." Ignatius bent down a little and whispered to Adua, while still walking.

"What did he say." Adua asked, looking curious.

"He said anytime he kills, it adds to his kill count and he needs to keep killing so he will gain more kill count. Crazy right?" Ignatius whispered to Adua.

"He kills just to have a high kill count? He is a Sadist." Adua whispered to Ignatius.

[You hear what they are saying about you?]

'Yeah, let them think what they want. All I know is that I am a perfectly normal human.'

They kept talking and whispering to themselves while Adam just looked around. After some time of walking, Ignatius stopped.

"Adua, You are going to that Carriage. Just tell them I sent you and they will let you enter. That carriage and the others around it are for the savants. When you reach the destination, tell them I said to give you a room. You will act like a savant for the time being before I come to get you." Ignatius said pointing at a direction with his other hand. Adam couldn't see the carriage since his head was at Adam back.

Adua walked away and Ignatius kept walked for some time before he stopped, opened the door of a more ornamented carriage and threw Adam in. Adam adjusted himself with his hands and sat up, leaning back. Ignatius came in and sat next to him. Across of them were Kalama and a man. He is a lean, muscular young man of average height with a slightly tan skin tone, black eyes, spiky black-colored hair. He also has a scar on the right side of his neck. He had on a long, red cloth with gold trim and black knee-length trousers. The man was looking at Adam and Ignatius angrily.

"What happened Kalama? You look sad." Adam asked curiously.

"And who might you be, young man? Why did you bring a stranger and a commoner here Ignatius?" The man asked, staring at Adam irritatingly.

"He is a close friend of mine Natkuso. We trained together with master Ignatius for one year so we are pretty close. Don't worry about him. Adam, this is my boyfriend and fiance, Natkuso." Kalama said plainly.

"What happened?" Adam asked looking toward the man. 'Z, can you show his statue.'

{

'Weak.'

"Last night..." Kalama said and trailed off.

"Last night what?" Adam asked, more curious.

"Last night I..." She trailed off again.

"Last night I what!?" Adam said, now angry.

"How dear you shout at her!? Don't you see it is hard for her to say? Shut up and when she is ready, she will say it." Natkuso said while fiercely staring at Adam.

Adam looked at the man and signed. "Kalama, please tell me and Ignatius what happened. It seems like your boyfriend already knows." Adam said calmly with a peaceful voice.

"It is fiance, not boyfriend." Natkuso said.

"Last night... I was... I was r.a.p.ed." Kalama said and burst into tears, crying on her boyfriend's c.h.e.s.t while he hugged her.

"You were WHAT!" Adam said shocked. He wasn't shocked that she was r.a.p.ed, he was shocked that she is crying.

"My body was defiled by a man I don't even know." She said, crying more.

"You didn't fight back?" Adam asked looking at her like she was dumb. "I know how strong you are, there is no way a random guy can just come and **** you.

"His touch... His touch paralyzed me."

[His touch was so good that she couldn't move? Damn, that man has some godly hands, like mine. I could **** a girl and she will be coming back for more.]

'Really? Wow, I will like to do that. Not only girls but boys too.'

[Oh... You are into that sort of thing? Interesting.]

'Yeah, I can end fight easily like that.'

[I thought you were talking about something else.]

'About what... Ahhhhh, the rainbow.'

[listen to your friend.]

"I couldn't move or bend fire. He did the same thing to Natkuso and threw him off the bed then defiled me on the bed. He came at the perfect time when everyone guarding my room was sleeping like he was waiting or something. The guy also entered the room without me or Natkuso noticing. I DIDN'T NOTICE HIM!" Kalama said, crying more. Natkuso looked ashamed and angry at himself.

"Oh really?" Adam said, turning his eyes to Ignatius who looked calm like nothing happened.

"If I catch that person, I will personally kill him. How dear he f.u.c.k my student." Ignatius said angrily. "I will f.u.c.k.i.n.g kill him. No, torture him and make him suffer. What did he look like Kalama?"

"I couldn't see his face, but his body frame looked strangely the same as you..." Kalama trailed off and looked at Ignatius. "Was it you? Was it you, you f.u.c.ker!?" Kalama said grabbing Natkuso cloth tightly, "Even if I can't kill you, my father can."

"Are you a f.u.c.k.i.n.g idiot? Why will I have **** you Kalama? Answer that question. Does it look like I am into little girls like you? Damn, you have no trust in me and I have been your master for years. You have more trust in your boyfriend and you have only been with him for five years than me who have been with you your whole life. Wow. Amazing. Truly Amazing. Now I will be wondering what other negative things you be thinking about me." Adam said angrily. "Earther way, I was with Adam all night yesterday night so you can't say nor THINK it was me. F.u.c.k! Now I think only Adam trusts me. Even your father, my brother, MY BROTHER, don't trust me."

Natkuso looked shocked because Ignatius just yelled at Kalama and that Ignatius was the fire lord Brother. 

'What is going to happen to me? Will He kill me? I have been disrespectful to him for a long time. Ohh shit, I think I am gonna die.' He thought, looking at Ignatius with pleading eyes. Ignatius didn't notice this but Adam did.

Kalama looked ashamed, for thinking it was Ignatius who r.a.p.ed her.

"Yeah, it can't be Ignatius. Even if he normally **** people, he wouldn't do that to you Kalama. Yesterday he was with me in my room, talking about things. He only left my room early this morning to sleep." Adam said looking at Kalama's eyes. "You really don't trust him, do you? Now I am wondering if you trust me."

After this, the carriage became silent with only Kalama crying sound to be heard.

Sometime later, the carriage stopped and Ignatius opened the door and left angrily.

"What about me?" Adam shouted at Ignatius.

Ignatius came back and flung Adam over his shoulder, with Adam's head in front of him, and walked away from the carriage."

"Can't you fly? You can bend even if your legs are dead right?" Ignatius said angrily. "I don't want to be carrying you everywhere."

"I can but I have to pretend to be a water-bender since I am going to be learning water-bending and I don't want anyone who sees me practicing healing and then see me flying." Adam said. "You think I like being carried around? I hate it."

"This... is the Fire Nation Royal Palace." Ignatius said. 

Adam looked up and saw a single structure; an elaborate tower with triple eaves is at the center, with three distinct wings joining it. The two smaller wings stand on either side of the main entrance to the palace building. There are towers at the ends of these wings as well. The land immediately surrounding the Royal Palace is barren and rocky, completely devoid of plant life. 

Ignatius Walked down the path in the middle walking toward the door to the Fire Lord's throne room. Kalama and Natkuso walked passed them and rushed into the throne room.

"Adam, was it you?" Adam said to Ignatius low so no one else will hear.

"Me do what?" Ignatius said to Adam back.

"Did you **** her?"

"I didn't **** her." Ignatius said quietly.

"Yes, you did. Is that why you told me to tell you when the guard is sleeping so you could go in? You said that you don't want to sneak in so if someone mistakenly caught you... That won't end well." Adam said with a low voice so only Ignatius could hear.

"Yeah, it was me." Ignatius said in a low voice, "I am also regretting it. Seeing her cry after I r.a.p.ed her is hurting me."

"Oh."

"Yeah, I could have not r.a.p.ed her while she is paralyzed. There wasn't any struggle. It was f.u.c.k.i.n.g boring. If she cried while I **** her, I would have loved it more." Ignatius said while breathing heavily, "Now I am horny." He put Adam on the floor, looked around then adjusted his boner, then picked up Adam and started walking Again.

"... I thought it was about something else. Then why were you mad when she suspected you in the carriage?"

"I wasn't mad, I was acting."

"I know you were mad."

"Haaa, I was mad because she suspected me. That shows how low her trust is on me." Ignatius said signing. "We are entering the throne room, don't look up unless you are asked to and don't speak unless you are asked to."

As they were entering the throne room, many guards came out and some other people leaving. The throne room has many black pillars with elaborate gold bases that support the roof and has black tiled floors. The Fire Lord sits on an ornate covered throne on a higher platform. Ignatius walked to the front of the Fire Lord throne, knelt down and bowed.

Adam laid, on his stomach, on the floor while looking at Ignatius. Kalama and Natkuso were standing next to the fire lord and speaking to him. He didn't even acknowledge them.

"Why are you kneeling? Aren't you, his brother?" Adam whispered to Ignatius.

"He will put a bounty on my head if I don't kneel. I don't want to be hunted for the rest of my life by the Earth kingdom and the fire-nation. At least I can hide here form the Earth kingdom" Ignatius whispered back.

"Earth kingdom?"

"I had s.e.x with the earth, Queen."

"..."

"What? She wanted it."

"You are brave."

They stopped whispering to each other while the other three talked silently.

"Ignatius, it was you wasn't it!?" The Firelord shouted loudly, breaking the silence. He stood up from his throne and walked down the steps, angrily.

"Father, it wasn't him!" Kalama shouted, holding her father's hand.

"Kalama, let me go. It was him and I know it was him! Ignatius, it was you, right?" He stopped walking after Kalama held his hand and looked down at Ignatius.

"How do you know? Were you there?" Ignatius said, standing up and glaring angrily at the Fire Lord.

"I know you. You are just like father, he got killed raping the former Firelord wife and now I will kill you for raping my daughter." The man said and with a punch, he sent a stream of green flame toward Ignatius.

Ignatius also sent a stream of blue fire toward the Fire Lord green flame. Adam quietly used air-bending to fly out the way. When the flame his each other, they dispersed.

"We will settle this once and for all. I challenge you to an Agni Kai. If I win, you will be sentenced to a public execution... And if I win..." 

"I will take the throne from you." Ignatius said, cutting him off.

"You can't do that." Adam floated next to Ignatius and whispered to him.

"Yes I can, he challenged the last Fire Lord to an Agni Kai that how he became the new Fire Lord." Ignatius said out loud. "If I win, I will be the new Fire Lord and if you win, I will be sentenced to a public execution."

"I don't care since I am going to win anyway. Now get out of my sight you f.u.c.ker." The Fire Lord said, pointing at the door.

Ignatius walked out of the throne room with Adam floating next to him. Once they left the room, Adam grinned.

"If you win you will be the new Fire Lord. Be happy." Adam said while thinking of something else.

"Haaa, I just said it at the moment. Come, let us go to my room." Ignatius entered thought he main entrance of the Fire Nation Royal Palace.

"What is your brother's name." Adam asked, following behind Ignatius.

*Tisk*

"His name Roseze. A foolish guy he is, thinking he is stronger than me." Ignatius said, ticking his tong.

'Z, please show Roseze statue."

{

Name: Roseze Furiga

'Oh shit, he is stronger. Wait, why don't I have an acting skill.'

[I forgot, it is now in.]

Inside the throne room, Roseze was sitting on the throne breathing heavily.

"That Ignatius, I will kill him." Roseze said, angrily.

"Father, I told him it wasn't him." Kalama said angrily staring at her father. "Even if it is him, if you fight him, you will lose."

"I am stronger than him, don't worry. Why do you think it wasn't him, Kalama?" Roseze asked, signing.

"...Because... Because he said it wasn't him?" Kalama said fidgeting. "And he seems pretty mad when I said it was him before."

"Ok, forget about that. That guy next to him, the one that was flying, who was he." Roseze said, massaging his forehead.

"His name is Adam. Don't try to fight him, he is stronger than you." Kalama said, folding her arms. "He is a good guy, don't worry about him."

"I know that he is strong. Not any air bender could fly. I was just wondering why he wasn't walking and why he didn't have the tattoo for Air-bending masters."

"His leg got injured so he can't walk for some time. I don't know why he doesn't have the tattoo though." 

"Ok go to your room and rest. Natkuso, go with her." Roseze said, standing up and walking toward the door of the throne room.

"Father, where are you going?" Kalama said, following him and Natkuso behind her.

"To schedule the Agni Kai and to send a message to all of your brothers and sisters to come back. It seems like the Earth-kingdom is trying to start a war with us." Roseze said. "Go to your room and rest, Kalama. Maybe you can catch up with Natkuso." He said, flying away.

"Let's go Natkuso." Kalama said, stretching her hand out to him.

Natkuso held her hand and they walked toward the main entrance.

"..."

"..."

[...]

[Adam, you noticed that you have a chance to start the war.]

'Yeah, I heard everything. Hehe, I already have a plan, planned out.'

"Good thing we came back to listen we chouldn't have known we are going to war with the Earth Kingdom." Ignatius said. "We should go, Adam, teach me some of your fire-bending skills."

"Ok, let go. Can you teach me that touching thing you did to Kalama and Natkuso that they couldn't move."

"Oh, that? The thing is called chi blocking and it is a very effective way for fighting. I will teach you after you teach me two of your skill. Now let start my training!!!"
