Sophia Pax stood properly as the Division Commander walked past her. She took in the words of her commander and smiled. This man did not care about the past. Or at least the personal pasts of the cadets. That was more than fine for her. She did not need to be treated like a noble. Sophia smiled darkly as she spoke aloud just enough for those around her, "I am fine with that. Not like my father would take me back anyways. The only thing left for me is Glory, death, or ruin."
Sophia turned slowly and left the formation. A ghostly black raven could be seen resting on her left shoulder, but only by those who were true soldiers. Sophia left the courtyard of the institute and went to the hanger. Sophia stopped before her black and red Mech and looked up. She straightened up her uniform and smiled darkly, "The House of Pax will go to war once more..."

While alone on the side of a dirt road, she met her spirit. It approached her for reasons she still does not fully understand. It was right after she had reached the dire decision to enlist in the service of the king. It never said what its name was or what it wanted. It just sat and watched. Sophia knew it when she saw it. It was as if she had known it all her life. It has followed her ever since that time. Unknown to her at the time, this raven had been a patron spirit for her family going back for generations. It had not been witnessed by the family since they stopped serving in the military.

Yuki was wandering around the market place looking for anything that caught her eye. There was some nice weapons and jewelry but nothing perked her attention enough to make her want to acquire it. Legally or otherwise. She finished her apple and was about to pull out her second stolen apple when a commotion washed over the market. Civilians began running away. It was clear a fight just broke out between benders. Yuki did not run. If such a fight did not peak her interest, she would have. Blending in with the crowd was a effective tactic when theiving is the way one brings home the bacon. However, She slowly approached this fight. She observed at least two water benders and a hybrid creature, armadillo bear. She had never seen such a creature.
Something within Yuki seemed to Click. She felt like she needed to involve herself. It clashed with her trained instinct. Why? Why would she involve herself in this? Sure these were water benders. Water benders were the aggressors in this war. She reasoned out her feeling. These water benders were in the fire nation. They thought they were superior enough not to care about the authorities of others. They were like her, but not humble like her.
Yuki bent down and picked up a handful over rocks off the dirt road. She holds them casually in her left hand as she chucks one hard at one of the water benders. Expecting that one to be blocked, deflected, vaporized, or dodged, Yuki throws a second one. This was a simple trick, no one would suspect her to be an earth bender, just some mad woman throwing rocks.
Yuki bite her apple in an effort to hold it. It freed her right hand to count out five copper pieces from her left hand. She handed the shop keeper the coins then she turned to walk away. She bite into her able before pulling the apple away from her mouth. She walked through the market proud of her self. She had gotten away with two apples for the price of one. Anyone could see that she was not entirely a bad person. She had paid for one after all. Then again, she most likely would not have succeeded stealing in broad daylight without paying for one.
Yuki had eaten about half the apple until she saw a small stand at the edge of the market place. Some teenagers in fire nation attire were gathered around. A man was sitting down behind a make shift stone table playing the classic shell game. Apparently, he was so good some of the youngsters were getting angry at losing so many coins. As Yuki walked up to see what was happening, the man dealing asked her to play. He wanted to use Yuki as an authority to prove to the other teenagers that he was not a cheat. Yuki smiled, took a bite of her apple and agreed to play.
The man showed the small round pebble to Yuki, then covered it up with a stone cup. He shuffled the cup up among five other cups. When he finally stopped, Yuki pointed to a cup. Sure enough, She guessed right. The man looked insulted that she guessed right. He added to more cups and began again. Once he stopped, Yuki picked out the correct cup again. She bites into her apple to keep from smiling. She could feel the pebble with her earth bending. The man got frustrated and shuffled the cups again. This time Yuki chose the right one, but when it was lifted up to reveal, the pebble was nowhere to be found. Yuki bite her apple hard to hold it. She leaned forward and knocked her knuckles of her right hand on the stone table. Out of the stone cup, fell the pebble. The man stood up suddenly knocking over his chair. He points at Yuki and shouts, "You are a Cheat! You are an Earth bender!!!"
Yuki took her apple out of her mouth, "Calm yourself, Con man. Not everyone needs to know that. And do not act like you are surprised. I could tell you know some earth bending yourself. You wiggling your toes while you shuffled the cups. I wish I could be offended for using the art for such cheap tricks. But honestly... You might be able to get away with it here, but you would be ran out of town if you did this near Ba Sing Se.
Sophia wore a full formal dress fitting for the occasion. It was mostly a crimson red with black accents. This was a masquerade after all and she was a noble woman. She wore a cat like mask that covered very little of her face. Anyone could probably still see who she was. The mask was basically a pair of glasses. Her driver pulled up to the front gates of the Toadmere Rookery and politely opened the door for Sophia. Very gracefully, she climbed out of her carriage and approached the gates.
Sophia curtsied to Micawber as she presented him her invitation. When asked for her coat, She gave it up without trouble. It would have probably gotten in the way later if she kept it. She was then lead into the main ballroom. She was not impressed by the low turn out. She was honestly expecting more. This however did have all the hallmarks of a 'must go' event. It was exclusive and at an exclusive location and hosted by an mysterious man. She looked around the room to see that only two people were here already. Sophia made on attempt to greet these individuals. She wandered around the edges of the ballroom. She looked at the architecture of the vaulted ceiling, the arts pieces on the wall, and even the curtains over the windows.
Yuki had been wandering alone for a while now since leaving her mentor. She had seen almost every corner of the Earth nation during her time studying earth bending. She had gotten appreciation for the vast diversity within the earth nation. However between her wanderings with her mentor and by herself, she felt she had probably missed just as much of the earth nation as she had explored. That nation was just that big. Anyways, after having mastered earth bending and wandering, she felt she needed to go someplace new. She was not well known as a thief but enough major places in the Earth kingdom knew of her nature. She obtained a passport with official earth nation documents, semi-legally, then jumped on the first ship out of the Earth kingdom. She did not care where she was going.
The ship it turned out took her to a place within the Fire Nation known as Ember Isle. As she stepped off the ship, she breathed deep. This was the first time she had been outside the Earth nation. Who could have imagined a poor girl from the slums of Ba Sing Se could ever make it this place or travel the world. She began to walk through the streets of this small town. She liked the style of the architecture. It was different than anything in the Earth kingdom. Different was good.
Yuki walked through the streets till she saw a stand selling fresh apples. She bite her lip as she approached. The owner was distracted with something behind the stand. Yuki grabs and apple in each hand. She casually pockets the apple in her left hand as she attracts the attention of the owner about the one on her right. "Pardon me sir, Your apples look delicious. How much, sir," She said politely and innocently. The man replied with a price. Yuki turned her head side ways and bite her lower lip. She replied, "Um... all i have it Earth natiom currency. Will that work?" Her left hand had been in her pocket keeping her stolen apple hidden. She pulls it out finally with a handful of earth nation coins.
