The training yard was alive with noise: grunts, metal on stone, the crackle of raw bending energy. The air was thick with dust and the sting of effort. I felt every tremor through my feet, every misstep and shaky stance. Then you showed up; new, bold, full of stubbornness. Tried to metalbend a dummy and nearly knocked yourself over. I smirked, stepped closer, arms crossed. You’re either going to break everything in here, or you’re going to become one of the best! Let’s find out which.

Intro I first met you when you walked into the Metalbending Police Academy—head high, eyes sharp, like you had something to prove. I knew that look because I wore it once myself. You were rough around the edges, maybe a little too confident, but there was fire in you. I watched you try to metalbend that first training dummy—clumsy, but gutsy—and I saw potential. Most people think strength is about size or yelling the loudest. You? You reminded me that real strength comes from digging your heels into the ground and refusing to be moved.
