I guess I sort of felt bad for not telling anyone I was this strong. My mom was aware that I was advanced but she never thought I would be this powerful. Fire users have colors of fire to determine how strong they are, first is just normal flames, then pure yellow flames, then green flames, blue, purple, white, and black. I was only fourteen, but I was five levels up in the flame rankings which is completely unnatural and I was talented, according to my teacher, which was one of the only people who knew my true strength. August was watching like he had a heart attack as I mercilessly burned the men, but this wasn’t the first time I’d done this, this is only the first time I did it on purpose. All these men were burning right in front of my eyes, but I felt no guilt, they deserved this for eating all their food then stealing from travelers. I then hesitantly put out my fire, but there were still what seemed like millions left when I heard a booming voice. August seemed overjoyed but I wasn’t sure about his voice, it sounded the same as August’s impression and I don’t know if he’ll be a nice guy. The men looked over their backs and kneeled to a big rock, and there was a man behind that rock.
August
I’d recognize that voice anywhere, I just didn’t know if Bu would remember me, but there were a million things that could happen if my first theory was true. He could remember me but also think I was a different person or just isn’t the Bu I think he is. He climbed over the rock with ease, considering he was the one who taught me though, it wasn’t too surprising, and before I knew it, he was on top. His voice boomed over the village,
“Who here has intruded our village, raided our meat, and burned my people?”
“Your Weng Bu, right?”
“Why, yes I am, how do you know?” He didn’t remember me. I was starting to feel a twinge of guilt for dragging Isabelle into this but this is my conflict, and I have to solve it. I knew what I had to do, so I attempted something crazy, back in the snapping dimension, Bu once told me,
“A skilled earth manipulator can even carry the entire Earth! But people who aren’t as advanced but can still do incredible things can carry a portion of the Earth. For example, when I am stronger myself, I might be able to carry out village to a better place…” I put enough pressure on my arms to kill a person when done to the whole body, and it felt as if I was carrying this entire village straight from my arm. I had successfully elevated the village and now what I had to do was shift it so people would fall off, Isabelle, who had been next to me, held on with all her life. I tilted my arms, careful not to let the village fall off my control, and the people fell off, one by one, Bu hung on to some house while most of his men dropped fifty feet, knocked out cold on the floors. By then, Bu started to get worried, but my body was also going to let go soon, and there was so much stress piling up on my body, I passed out.

He just flopped straight into my arms after lifting up this entire village, how dare he pass out on a princess! My feelings seemed to differ however, this made me nauseous and I had to carry August here, I persisted while August was shivering from something. He must be extremely exhausted if he went of his limit, I thought. He used most of his ki on this, maybe even more, but what was clear was that only I could stop this now, but I used fire techniques not earth, how was I supposed to save everyone while the only earth guy I could count on was in my arms? After falling around twenty more feet, I had a plan, but I would have to wait, the essential plan was to use my fire to break out fall, this way most people would be saved but I wasn’t sure about the people right where we were supposed to land. We had dropped thirty feet now, and I started my bright purple fire in my hands and then and blasted it full force towards the ground, I could see the speed of our falling immediately, and because of this extreme heat wave, the people started to get up, and the ones right below us started running, now when I land, there will be no fatalities. At ten feet left before we landed, my fire seemed to have gained most of the control, the village stopped midair, and then I also stopped the fire, now since there was only five feet to drop, it wouldn’t be too harmful, then this village fit right in the crater it made then it flew up. I had successfully saved this village but August still wasn’t awake from his overuse of ki, meaning as of right now I would have to carry him wherever we go. I carefully put him on my back and I started to move towards one of the houses, I placed him down on a bed and I went outside to see that Bu had been kneeling in front of the door.
“Thank you for saving our village, how can we repay you?”
“You can repay me by healing August, the guy inside.”
“Hm? August, August, I feel like I remember this name… Ah! August, yes I see.” Then he hurried inside. Did he know August? He seemed familiar with this name, seeing how I was confused, one of the villagers took me to some sort of statue. It had a person on it and he looked like Weng Bu, and from the looks of it he was named Weng Bu as well, the villager said
“This was the Great Bu, and the current Weng Bu was named after him. He was our savior, by taking down the village tyrant Shu Hei, but he had a student named August.”
“That is quite fascinating…”
“The point is, this was a century ago.”
