Here Fulgar explains to his student Kurai, played by Lost_Comet_Girl, the defining factors of their element.
[Hollow point] Fulgar pushed on up the mountain, his bones being pulled from their sockets with the weight of the rocks. The stress was astounding then *pop* he felt a tiny pop in both arms and relief came swimming back into his being. He finally made it to the 500 ft. point that they had been working so hard to get to. The sun had fully risen it was probably about 10 o'clock in the morning by now.
Fulgar dropped the rocks and stretched and moved his arms around. "How ya doing, Kurai?" Fulgar asked "breathing ok?" now was for the intellectual part of all of the training, possibly the most important thing is knowing about it all rather than just doing.
Fulgar walked a little ways and found a pair rocks facing each other Fulgar stripped himself of his coat, and his scythe. "sit" Fulgar ordered Kurai the rocks were perfect, nice and flat. They'd be here for a while. "Zhin, this may take a while. If you like you can sit here and listen in on the lesson, or you can practice bending, it's up to you, it would be good to hear this no matter what your bending is." Fulgar sat cross legged on the stone his back and neck compeltely in line with each other, he didnt seem the type but this was a meditation position. His hands sat in his lap his lids shut on his eyes he breath in deeply and let out deeply.
Fulgar began the lesson "Fire..." he said collecting his throughts the best to get this through easy was to go through in detail if he didnt then big gaping holes would be left in the lesson. "Fire is made up of positive jin. Unlike earthbenders, who wait for the right moment to attack, we will attack head on. Fire, Air, and Earth each have jin. We are positive or attacking, earth is neutral or defending, and air is negative, or retreating." Fulgar tried to explain the types of jin, water didnt have jin because their defense is their offense.
"Each element uses a specific energy. Earth is chi, water is sui, air is Fū and fire is Ka. Each of the energies represents the element being used. All people have each energy in them, but only one is utilized, the avatar has the ability to utilize the purest of the energies it is Kū, Kū is the energy of the spirit world, a pure mix of all the elements." Fulgar let that sink in before continuing to explain about Ka.
"Ka, the energy of fire, is represented by the stomach and metabolism, it is fuelled by passion, rage, desire, and drive. It is created by the heat of the body, which seperates us from all other benders, we dont need an external source for our bending. It represents the powerful, forceful, moving kinetic energy in the world." Once again Fulgar paused to let the information get into the body. "Any questions?" Fulgar asked hopeful that she was getting the information.
Fulgar kept going loading the information, just piling it on. "Fire can be described while fighting as 'pounding' or exploding the fist outward like a cannon while still blocking. The elements can be shown in a fashion like this:" Fulgar then drew in the dirt in front of him this symbol: Diagram
"Each element has an opposite and each element has defining factors connecting it to the others. Our opposite is water, our defining factors are hot and dry connecting us to air and earth." Fulgar wasnt sure if he was making sense or not. He wasnt done yet, but he wanted to answer any questions Kurai had. "Questions?"(17/95)
