Say did heat-bending just become easier as well because it seems like it would be related to air bending.
It would at least open up new avenues for uses, like superheated air-streams or streams of steam propelled by air, that condense on contact with the enemy and boil him.

inb4 Tui and La summon us for a test.

Heat bending itself? Probably not. But we can probably use air bending to help insulate things, which is nearly the same thing. Air and Fire bending synergize very well with each other.

That's because we learned it through fire. It'll probably be much easier to learn new stuff if we know the basics rather than chasing shiny techs.

Lightning may have not improved our general firebending rank, but it did require great proficiency in firebending for even the basic lightning bolt.

We can probably spend a few weeks looking through scrolls we have, scrolls the Fire Nation has looted and talk to Iroh to learn the basics of airbending. Shouldn't be too hard to get to mastery level and a bit above, even though we might not need to.

I'd rather we do anyway. Getting the basics down will mean less fumbling in the dark and more knowing what we're doing. In theory it might also narrow our view of what's possible and what isn't, but I'm pretty sure nothing but GM fiat will discourage our players.

Because I believe that the cold fire skill counted to Azula's rank on fire mastery, at lead in a reduced maner (only the primary skill and not the secondary ones)

And he's currently somewhere we can't go yet. But yes, Aang is the only one who can reduce the time we'll need to master air.

If he wants to teach us in the first place.

Oh I agree. Training-wise, now that we have airbending and lightning forms to use, we should try to work on integrating the styles with fire bending and seeing what else we can dig up.

Of course, if the "Learn new things" difficult rank up applies to other forms of bending, than moving around actual air is probably going to be much harder than fire was when we were young.

We are a prodigy at Firebending and certain other things, but suck at quite a few subjects as well.

There is no guarantee we are actually a good airbender. We could be mediocre or just abysmal at anything airbending that isn't about lightning.

Though, that would probably be a bit sad. I mean, who gets blessed by a greater spirit to start a new line of airbenders and then end up sucking at it?

We already used lightning in an airbending form before we were an actual airbender.

While pure airbending might give us trouble, we have bending experience to draw upon.

Besides, either way I expect us to continue mainly relying on fire bending in combat and only supplementing with airbending, not full on Avatar style use all elements equally fighting.

Where? I remember Lightning is now easier and that Raijin says that the winds will respond to his power just as well as Fuujin's, they are so accustomed. So it sounds like we get the complete package whether Fuujin likes it or not.

We're already pretty good with lightning, so we're confirmed to have talent in that area, and it's likely at least some of that will carry over to controlling wind.

Yet, it still took us years to master fire. Mere trial and error will not make us a master of air, even with some mastery over lightning.

For everyone saying we don't need a teacher: no, we probably don't. But it does mean we're starting from scratch, or just scrolls.

Chibi is on record saying that everything is learned faster with an instructor in what we want to learn. Even if we're too old to develop new things, an instructor can still teach it to us.

So Aang, an airbending master, is definitely the key to rapid advancement in air. Lightning, probably not. Air, yes. And Air and Lightning definitely look like they boost each other.

It's not directly stated, but it's a reasonable guess; even if the wind does respond to Raijin's power, it's unlikely that it will respond as well as lightning does simply because Raijin's power is focused on lightning, not wind. That means that the wind-controlling side is likely to be more power intensive and harder to control for us than it is for normal airbenders like Aang.

It took preteen Azula years to master fire without previous bending experience.

A 14-year-old could breeze though primary school pretty fast as well.

Airbending is probably never going to be out primary. Lightning and fire lend themselves very well to our long range combat strategy, airbending is probably just going to support things like our flight and stuff like that. Easy lightning use makes our role much easier than easy airbending ever could.

That part made me wonder a bit. Does it mean that the blessing of both spirits is not needed for us to get the complete "You can be a prodigy in this, too!" package?

I just worry that the better airbenders received support from both Raijin and Fuujin. Though, Aang's ability does put weight on the concept that the support of a single spirit is enough, given that it is doubtful Raijin cares much for Aang. The dude is a hippy, after all.

I don't think Aang's that important. It's Appa that we want teaching us.

We also know that it's possible to apply the principles of one type of bending to another. Zuul demonstrates that. We can probably use our firebending mastery to develop a similar style for air.

So, it looks to me like we have two main things to do over the coming months. First, head to Yu Dao to get new swords for us and Zuko, and to see if we can get some info heat control. Second, locate Aang and request that he comes to meet us to see if we can get some airbending information and tips.

[x] foodenings.

You pat Ty Lee hesitantly on the back, even as she...

Oh, good. This outfit is thoroughly ruined. More-so than just tearing off the sleeve left it, anyway.

"... That cannot have happened." Ozai is groaning, softly and horrified, as though the world had turned all upside down, and he'd woken up in the morning to discover that monks and nuns had invaded the nation in force, and were giving no quarter. "That thing... it made no sense, came from nowhere, left to nowhere. I don't... spirits don't exist-."

"The Fire Sages are talented in their work, to keep the world of men and the world of spirits separate, as much as they can." Iroh soothes. "And for the most part, it is effective. Lesser spirits cannot interfere, save in ways and places that are either too subtle to be noticed and defended against, or where and how they do not think to erect defenses. Of course, if a greater spirit feels the interest and need to make its presence known... well, even the most mighty of human defenses may only prove to slow it down."

....

Apparently, they think you were joking.

A crackling bolt of lightning spearing through the heavens, and a flash-cooked sea raven falling from the sky to impact the stone near you, disabuses them of that notion.

They don't let you eat it, though. But while you have to wait a little longer, food prepared by chefs is more easily palatable.

It seems that, in the real world, you were gone for less than five minutes. Startling, as Zuko would have guessed an hour or two had passed, and you of course would have guessed at somewhere between five and seven.

Ty Lee just doesn't seem to want to be pried loose. She ends up falling asleep with a grip of steel, and you sort of... end up having to drag her around, like a limpet or barnacle. Until Rin draws a finger along her spine and loosens her shivering grip.

Ozai shifts off sharply, giving the impression that there are some things that he has to now contemplate, deeply. Certain political stances that he had taken, that he was now going to have to think about revoking, or reversing entirely.

You suspect that, in some ways, the Fire Sages are going to recieve a whole lot more freedoms to act, and at the same time be more heavily monitored and scrutinized than before.

Well.

You're exhausted anyway. Nothing stopping you from getting an early night.

"... About those confessions." You mumble, when Zuko arrives, rousing you from light slumber.

"I lost my dao. Broke your sword, accidentally. Sorry about that. Also..." He begins.

He bites his lower lip, then plucks at the shadow beyond the candle-light. Some of it pulls between his fingers, as though he had grabbed fabric.

"Can't really tell the Fire Sages about this." He says, quietly. "They're already upset enough about you... they really don't like dealing with spirits in any way, except for making them leave."

"... Hereditary?" You ask, simply, as the fairy listens with keen interest.

"It.... yes, no. It's complicated. I didn't give it an outright grasp." Zuko says. "It has a link to me, but anyone else.... they have to go through an involved process. Carve their name into a stone under the light of the full moon, then fill the carving with their own blood under the new moon, when it hangs black in the sky. Not the sort of thing that happens by accident. They'd have to really want to get ahold of it in order to."

You're a little relieved by that.

But it makes what you're about to say a little harder.

"... I had to make a deal as well. Beyond just Raijin... well. You... wanted children, right?" you ask. Slowly.

".... Oh. Tell me you didn't give-"

"No." You say, flatly. "But... some of my descendants are probably going to be airbenders. And after two children.... I've mentioned the fairy. She'll be building a body of her own... with a little bit of help."

Zuko squeezes your shoulder, gaze a little distant. Then he sighs.

"I really hope." He says. "That you know what you're doing."

Sleep is a little hard to reach, a second time. But Zuko is wearing his socks.

Dawn is refreshing, when it comes.

We know where Aang is. Problem is that the others there would very much like to kill us.

Where? I remember Lightning is now easier and that Raijin says that the winds will respond to his power just as well as Fuujin's, they are so accustomed. So it sounds like we get the complete package whether Fuujin likes it or not.
That part made me wonder a bit. Does it mean that the blessing of both spirits is not needed for us to get the complete "You can be a prodigy in this, too!" package?

I just worry that the better airbenders received support from both Raijin and Fuujin. Though, Aang's ability does put weight on the concept that the support of a single spirit is enough, given that it is doubtful Raijin cares much for Aang. The dude is a hippy, after all.

Aang's also the avatar, young, and riding a lot more trauma. He's gonna need to be more militant than normal by default. And we can work on him through history. I mean what can he say to the idea that one of the Airbender spirits wrote them off entirely for not defending their lives?

*facepalm

If lightning is easier to do, then a technique of roughly equal levels is going to be able to be used more then a strictly air technique... I don't get how this concept is hard.

[x] Deal with any possible fallout.
[x] Well, your an airbender now. Time to put that to use:
- Have the White Lotus and other resources look into acquiring airbending scrolls and stuff. Concentrate on things from before they became a bunch of hippies.
- Incorporate whatever air- or lightningbending techniques you have into your style somehow.
- Try some airbending.
-- Try using airbending to fuel your fires.
-- Try using airbending to enhance your flying.
- Try using your existing fire techniques with lightning or air instead of and in combination with fire, if possible.
-- Divine Right, Inner Fire Reinforcement, and Voice of Command might be particularly interesting.
- Try to get the "stilled winds" in Joo Dee moving again. If possible, with the Lightning/Air version of VoC.
- Your a smart girl. In fact, your a bending prodigy. Prioritize, experiment and add to this as you see fit.
-[x] Continue until something important happens. Particularly, if the Avatar starts moving again. His input as a master airbender might be useful, even if he's a hippy.

Experimenting with air- and lightning in general seems more useful than starting on an entirely new bullshit technique.
It would not only give us a general sense of what is and isn't possible or feasible but improve our general understanding of the element and therefor allow us to achieve mastery in the new element faster.
Something usually done before learning/making up bullshit techniques and we should really rectify soon.

White Lotus is certainly not ours to command, forgot that?

D'awwwwww.

[X] Arrange a council of war/politics to discuss our nation's new stance.
[X] Arrange to meet Zuul and establish the ground rules. Whatever our feelings on her, she is not to be allowed a free rein. She needs to be instructed as to her place and duties. One day is already too long.
[X] Should time between these events be available, spend it with friends or exploring our newfound lightning affinity, as Azula judges appropriate.

Well then, Ozai is confuzled, and Zuko is now a RumiaShadowbender.

Also, look into the whole Airbending thing as soon as possible. Maybe even consult with Zuko on this. You both have new things your not sure about.

[X] See if there's any other fallout.
[X] You need a new iron sword. Zuko as well. And you wanted to see about heat control in the forges. A trip to Yu Dao may is in order.
[X] Test airbending in private. You do have a scroll on basics.
