Chapter 5
Infinite Land : Fight For the LandDays went on as the princess practiced and sharpened her skills, but still, none of her other remaining powers have been unleashed. Everyone was informed about the darkness coming and went off to train. The toughest benders were sent to the palace to practice, while the others prepared their weapons. Lee Eun Gyul, on the other hand, tried really hard to find her powers. Masters from every kingdom came to the palace to help her practice. But each of them failed. Until one day..
"Lee Sungjong! What are you doing?!" Lee Eun Gyul shouted as she caught her brother trying to jump into the lake. His clothes were everywhere and he was only wearing his trousers. Sungjong covered his ears for ultimate nagging from her sister. Although Sungjong was older than her, Eun Gyul could not believe how childish he is.
She pushed her arm upwards and pushed the water up, making one side of the lake dry and a huge wave like wall on the other side. "Don't even think about it." She said.
"But-" Sungjong pleaded.
"No, you are not going to jump in the lake. You've got practice," she commanded, "And, put some clothes on. Don't want the maids to stare at you." She said as she noticed a bunch of eyes spying at Sungjong.
Sungjong walked away from the lake and took his clothes. As he was about to wear his shirt, he was casted by a big shadow above him. He looked up, and before he could run away, the cloud of water was dropped on him. In a blink of an eye, he was drenched completely and saw that playful smirk on his sister's face.
"Lee Eun Gyul!!!" He screamed to the top of his lungs. All Eun Gyul did was let out a soft giggle and ran away.

The princess faced her fire bending master and bowed respectfully. They took a step back and began their lesson. He placed a piece of burnt wood in front of the princess.
"Light a fire from it. Remember to focus on the wood." He ordered.
The princess held her hand out and focused really hard.
"Focus." He said.
I know. The princess thought.
"Transfer the heat of the sun towards the block of wood." He said sternly.
I got that. She thought again, annoyed by the order. She would hear it every day.
"Control your breathing." He ordered. And that was it. She couldn't jold the anger anymore.
"I GET IT, OKAY?!" She shouted, pointing at the block of wood. And at that very moment, she felt an immense heat coming from her hand. She looked at the block of wood and was surprised to see it on fire. A smile appeared on her face.
She decided to spark her hand and was so happy to see a fire in her hand. "Woah! Look! I did it master! I finally did it!" She jumped in joy. The master was still shocked that the princess snapped at him.
"Yes, you did. But remember, fire is not something you can play with so easily. It's harmless when it's small, but it can grow
