-Departing the Hospital-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After my scary appearance at the hospital, the staff finally got used to me and when it was time to leave they gave me a beautiful black and light gray shroud with pieces of diamonds, Earth, and other kinds crystals embedded all in it. "Thank you for your hospitality and kindness while we were here." spoke Suta and then a staff member finally replied "Thank you for cooperating after the month marker" and we all laughed as Suta and I slowly walked away. "Was it me or were those nurses and doctors a little weird?" I asked, "It was definitely the nurses" she replied and we strode towards the valley before the desert.

-The Valley-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We walked into the narrow opening that was the valley and it slowly but steadily widened. We walked for days toward the gate that was clear on the other side and far end. When we got about halfway we started to notice men wearing green and black robes with field hats that matched covering their faces. Dhai Li agents. The spoke in unison when we were 250 feet from them "Orion and Suta by decree of the Black Rose Society your life ends here today!" and they launched an incredible amount of spikes at us. I used and created a wall so huge I have never even came close to half the height before I went to the hospital. I used my left hand and went on the attack, but my attack was normal, then I thought "No it can't be!" and lifted my right hand for an attack. It sent out a massive shockwave bringing the valley walls closed and and instantly killed every Dhai Li agent. We both looked at my still bandaged hand and I said aloud "Oh s*** I tried with my right hand alone and move the valley walls to their original positions. I was stronger than I had ever been it could be possible that all that resting and sleeping I did affected me in someway. I was not worried about that though as I looked closer at Suta for the first time since the battle had ceased I noticed that she had a spike running through her leg.

-The House Call Doctor-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I didn't know what to do. My loyal companion all this time was sitting there bleeding and didn't say a word during battle. I was slowly crying down my cheek as she rested sideways in a tent I pitched for her out of rock. "Your wife looks as though she needs some help there sunny!" and an old man approached me. "She's not my wife she's just my friend" for now at least I thought to myself. "Well your friend who's a girl need's help and I think I can help her." "You can?" as I let out to much enthusiasm out of my voice. He simply smiled at me "Yes I can, in fact I think it'll be wise for you to remove that spike in her thigh." I sighed I knew this guy was a phony. "Then I'll bend the water from this bucket to heal her." My eyes lighted up. I removed the spike from her leg and even though it wasn't wide it was still in there pretty good. "I don't think she'll have any problems with her movements after about 14 hours of healing from me." "Thank You so much kind sir." I replied. I suddenly heard a loud stomping outside and the old man spoke "Hurry those Dhai Li agents are probably looking for their friends, I saw them split up into two groups, hold them off, Orion!" I questioned how the old man knew my name because we didn't exchange names upon greeting each other but I forgot about it and went outside. They must've thought we'd be traveling down the right side because there had to be about 15 more than there were before. This might be challenging I thought remembering my new found power. We fought for 3 hours on end 27 Dhai Li agents against me, the ultimate Earthbender, it was dead even. I killed two of them accidently about around hour two because of a forgotten trap and I thought silently to myself "Noobs." I got back to where the doctor was still doing his thing and sealed them inside, it was time. I swirled a sphere around me and created the spikes. The spikes were three times bigger than before and the sphere spinning faster than ever. The Dhai Li agents knew they were dead and the just sat down and prayed. I released the ultimate onslaught of spikes towards them and within second they were all dead with a arrow made of rock through each one of their forehead. I loosened up the sphere and fell to the ground, although this semi-healed arm gave me power it was a burden and it drained me nearly completely of all my energy to use my 360 Degree Earth Sphere Spike Launcher, but they were all dead so no worries, and I staggered back into camp, I had been fighting the Dhai Li for only five hours and the old man must've been putting some overtime in as well because Suta was already completely healed with nothing but a scar on her thigh. "Thank you but one question, how do you know my name?" I asked. "Because your name is my name Orion. I am your grandfather Jijia-su Gaia."
