Passing Through (Open to Henate)

"No, thanks, I'm alright" answered Ordan, waving his hands in front of him. "It was okay, spent half my day talking to an old man for money" said Ordan, sighing. "Still, it got me enough money for a room, and then some" he said. "Do you have someplace to go soon?" he asked.

Mizuki scratces her cheek "Well. I have a show in the tea shop in half an hour or so" she said, glancing towards him. "After that I'm going to head home and pack some of my belongings, well.. start packing. I'm going to travel through the nations and hold shows in a month or so.." She stated, the crowds behind her turning silent all of a sudden. "Huh, say what, Mizuki?" some of them said as they all glanced towards her. 'Whoops.. I think I said that too loud.' she quietly thought to herself.

Ordans heart sank. She was leaving? He sighed and tried to ignore it, following her to her next show

For the next couple of weeks, Ordan spent as much time as he could with the Fire Bender. They became decent friends, or at least Ordan thought they had. One day, she just wasn't there. Left, without a trace. Of course Ordan immediantly began looking for her, but couldn't find a trace of her. He hoped nothing bad had happpened to her. She had mentioned that she was leaving in a few weeks, but she hadn't come to say goodbye. He sighed, bought up the supplies he needed, and started towards the Ice Kingdom that day (after saying goodbye to Ryan, of course, he had become quite attatched to the old man).

He walke down the road, quite missing the company of both the old man and Mizuki. He sighed. The moment he did, several bursts of lfame close to him. He instinctively ducked, and they passed over him. Several Fire Benders came out form hiding. Ordan counted seven of them. 'They must be muggers' he thought. While he could take on a few of them, there were just to many of them for him to take on. He got into a defensive stance, ready to block anything that came at him. A ball of flames came at his backside. He stomped, and a wall of Earth popped up, blocking it. Several of the thieves muttered. Coincidently, a couple of Fire Bending guards came around a fork in the road. Thank goodness! For once he had good luck, they would help him.
The thieves turned there heads in unison towards the guards. One of them shouted "GUARDS, ARREST HIM! HE'S AN EARTHBENDER!" yelled the thief. What?! Like they going to help these thieves. "Sir, put your hands in the air and don't move!" yelled one of the guards, pointing at Ordan. Ordan muttered many unkind words. He put his hands behind his head and got down on his knees.
