A Chance Meeting (Jinshu)

[Feihong Shou]

A gentle breeze. Bright sunlight. Quite a perfect day for the Firebender known as Feihong. So he decided to take the chance to practice his art in a nice empty field in one of the quieter districts of the city, dancing and billowing flames in wondrous shapes, foxes and wolves and deer and rabbits bounding and leaping, prey falling to predators, and flames whipping into a glistening display as the wind blew gently, rattling the leaves of the nearby trees.

[Jinshu Huli]

Jinshu had run out of any pieces of metal she deemed usable for any of the statues she was currently working on. For most people this would mean needing to go out and purchase more; but Jinshu wasn’t an ordinary artist. She used her skills with Metal Bending to create her art, so she didn’t have to be entirely too picky about the pieces of metal she used. Instead she’d just take a trip to the local scrap yard and grab whatever struck her fancy. This is precisely what she had done today. Pulling along her little red wagon, she carted a decent sized pile of scrap from the scrap yard. It was still a ways back to her apartment, and with how heavy metal could get the wagon was a bit of a necessity. She also just really liked the bright cherry red paint job on it. She’d spent most of the day at the scrap yard, so there were more people out on her way home than when she’d left. One in particular caught her eye as she was passing by an empty field. It was a Fire Bender; a man by the looks of it. He seemed to be putting on some kind of performance for no one in the field. Maybe he’s practicing for something? the young Metal Bender thought to herself. Jinshu hadn’t realized she’d stopped to stare at all the creatures he was making out of fire. She was just standing there, staring awestruck at the performance.
