Rion ran to the inside of his house breathing heartily. His mother and father were staring at him as he entered. "Whats wrong?" said Rion panting. "The town is talking about a half breed! I wonder who that is!?" boomed the both of their voices. Rion could feel the air from their voice hit him as he slouched down the door. "I'm sorry guys, really i am. In the town square, the avatar demanded that any half breeds stand out or be killed. So i had to, i shouldn't have left, but i don't want to stay in the fire nation forever. I have water bending siblings, i want to see my bretheran as well." said Rion staring at the floor. The two of his parents sighed as this was bound to happen to their son eventually.
"Fine you can go, but avoid the avatar at all times, now that he knows you can bend water, he'll be out to get you." siad his father. "Also, when you find the waterbenders in the north or south, find a teacher to show you every thing. Your father has passed you excellent skills, as have I." said his mother. Rion popped back up onto his feet, "So does this mean i get to leave! Oh yeah, that reminds me." Rion ran into the back of the house and looked down in the basement. "Whats down stairs?" said his parents. The roar of a dragon could be heard from the downstairs, "I would like you to meet my dragon ally Makyu! I have had for a couple years now! Dad said i could keep him." said Rion. His mother turned to his father giving him a look, "What he was 7 when had the dragon and it was small..." She glared even harder. "I was weak woman!" replied his father. "Well, so long as someone, or thing is watching your back its fine with me." said his mother. "I also have another thing for you, i've been saving it for an occassion like this dilema."
Rion followed his mother upstairs to her room. Within the confines of her closet she had a series of different styled clothing. "Here, try this, i know how much you love being a firebender so i made you an outfit styled for waterbenders and sown together with a red appearance for firebenders. Both symbols are engraved, so they know for a fact that your a half breed filled with pride." said his mother in an ominous tone. "Thanks mom, this means alot." said Rion accepting the token and hugging his mother. He soon changed closed, packed his provisions, and went to the basement staring at the waterway that ran down the side of thier house. "I'll be back when i can, but me and Makyu are gone, love you guys!" Rion then mounted on Makyu's back and he opened the waterway taking off leaving the dust to fly up in the basement. He soared over the the city new Ozai and took a final look at his home. He would soon attract attention, but Makyu made haste and fled to the isolated outskirts of New Ozai.
