Aurora looked back,"He is following us." She said looking at the far away rhinos,"He has someone with him." She said looking at the girl with him. "We should move." Ash said. |

Erin's smile faded, losing her sense of happiness and playfulness once the Prince was brought back to her attention. She threw a glance in his direction, even though he probably wouldn't be able to see it. Brought a bodyguard, Dravius?
She sighed, then picked up the pace slightly, still walking on the bits of ice that formed beneath her soles.
Once she was beside Ash again, she looked at him from the corner of her eye. "I think we should try to lose them." She murmured. "I don't want to endanger the Air Nomads by dragging Dravius to them." She paused for a moment. "I can whip up a steam cover then bring us underwater, if you don't mind. It won't be hard."

((My "Bodyguard" Is a 3' 6'' tall little girl. Intimidating, hmm?)) Saray noticed the girl in the pretty blue dress and walking on the water look back at them. She waved cheerily, calling out, "Hello! I'm supposed to capture and torture you!" She waved again, while Dravius rolled his eyes, his chin resting in one hand. The rhinos were ever so steadily gaining inches, and getting closer by the second.

(( Tch. She can't tell from that distance. ;o ))
Erin raised her eyebrows. How cheering. She thought dryly, then turned to face them. "Nice to meet you to!" She called back. "Maybe we can talk some more when I've got you behind bars."
With that, she set her stance and brought her arms up. Steam flooded the area, bringing the visibility near zero. Erin blinked, her keen and experienced eyes piercing the thick fog. She shot a huge wave and a few smaller waves from either side towards the Rhinos. They wouldn't avoid the attack with ease; they may have been capable swimmers but they were nothing if not slow.
Without a word, she thrust her arms downwards. Spark, Ash and Aurora sunk immediately, and Erin followed them in an instant after creating more cover. She engulfed them in a bubble of air, then directed it downwards.
Dravius and his friend wouldn't be able to follow them there.
The darkness and quiet was suffocating, but Erin continued downwards, heading Northwest all the while. She knew they were very, very deep down. Erin motioned for Ash and Aurora to be as quiet as possible.

"Well now, that's not very-AWWK!" Saray's insult trailed into a screech as the large waves crashed down on her and her brother, completly submerging them. The rhinos kept battling on, managing to keep still during the deluge of water. As the water drew back, both the Prince and Princess were soaked to the bone, cloaks clinging to their bodies. Thus, they stripped them off, and their shirts along with them. Saray seemed to be wearing a type of bra embroidered with turtle-ducks, and looked around, trying to find any evidence of the Avatar. As a last esort, she took a huge breath and plunged herhead underwater, just fast enough to see a retreating bubble of air. ((Question! Aren't they gonna run out of water?))

((Yes they have to sometime.XD)) Aurora watched the small girl poke her head into the water and watch them leave,"I think that was his evil sister." Aurora said wanting to stick her tongue at the little girl. She didn't though because she knew the girl wouldn't even be able to see her. |

(( You mean run out of air, lols. o3o And yeah, they will eventually. But air isn't used up that fast. They could still make it to the sh.ore with maybe one break.
...Unless of course you also have a giant beast with you. Curses. D:< ))
Erin kept moving her arms to maintain the bubble, her face concentrated. "I honestly wouldn't be surprised." She replied. "It seems to run in the family."
She surged forward, sending them hurling through the dark ocean. We're running out of air! She thought, noticing how the small space was starting to feel suffocating. She ground her teeth together.
This is going to be difficult.
She didn't want to resurface. That would risk their location being found out- and the escape would have been virtually for nothing. Enlarging the bubble at this point would just make the air more thinly spread.
She raised one arm, then began moving it sharply yet smoothly. A small rift began to open in the water above, flooding the bubble with new air. She opened the rift wider, using both hands this time, and making the bubble just slightly bigger using her feet; a graceful dance, almost, with quick but long steps.
She stilled her feet and closed off the air. In a sea of dark, roiling water, especially at that distance, the two enemies wouldn't have been able to see the sea open up slightly.
"We should almost be there." She said to them, returning to her normal routine with her hands. "We'll end up just a bit northwest of the Air temple, with a few hours travel on foot." She glanced at Spark. "Nevermind, make that less than an hour." She remarked.
The sea darkened slightly ahead- if that was even possible- indicating that earth rose from the depths as the land that held the Western Air temple. Erin was tense, her heart beating unsteadily. With Dravius and his weird sister tailing them, she felt as if she had to be on edge and alert at all times. She glanced backwards once, making sure they hadn't swam after them somehow.

((They asked water not air...But that is a good question too.LOL)) Aurora looked at them,"I will stay at the edge of the sea to slow them down. You two can get to the air temple and I will meet you somewhere outside the place." She said. |

Dravius pulled Sary up, water streaming off of his hair. He caoughed most of the wave that had hit him, searching the sea ahead. Cursing he, urged the rhino's on, their stocky legs churning the water, Saray had managed to stand on her beast, shading her eyes and searching the water. Altough she noticed the slight rift in the water far ahead, she shrugged and took out a long woode dart and deftly stabbed it into the rhino's front leg. Bellowing, her animal surged forewards, urged on by pain and the cold smile on the little girls face. Earth rose up in front of the duo, although still far away. Both siblings grinned wickedly and turged the beasts faster, again. It was only a matter of time before the Avatar came up, and Saray's tiny face was unnaturally excited.

Aurora hissed watching the animals get closer by the minute,"We need to move faster." She hissed. "We are going as fast as we can." Ash snapped back,"Now just be patient and we will be there in no time." |

Erin frowned, not saying anything for a moment. Finally she replied, "No. I don't want to risk it. Fighting Dravius is one thing, but fighting him along with his crazy sister is another. Plus, they might just follow you after you come back to us."
She directed the bubble upwards just as they neared the ma.ss of earth, bursting from the surface. She used a wave of ice to help them onto land before they just fell back down. Erin herself landed lithely on the ground, then darted immediately around, listening and checking for anything potentially dangerous.
When she found nothing, she finally relaxed a bit. She couldn't see the Western Air Temple; it was, of course, an upside-down temple. They wouldn't be able to see it as they were, blocked by forest.
Erin faced the ocean again with a grim smirk. She couldn't just let them come closer and closer. Instead she hurled huge boulders and rocks towards them and the rhinos, hoping that a few would smash into the lumbering animals.
And preferrably their riders, too.
She kept hurling, breathing hard. It was draining work, but she didn't stop for a while. When she finally let up, she crumbled the cliff face so that it was made completely of loose dirt, then she created a wall of earth along the outer edges for quite a distance. Climbing would be very difficult.
She turned to face Ash and Aurora, still panting. "Let's go before they come any closer, I hope that'll slow them down a bit." She said tiredly.

((Hehe. I named one of my creatu SparkyBoomBoom. He is the guy who explodes stuff with his mind and was later renamed something else.XD)) Aurora smiled,"You don't trust me?" She laughed. She looked at the wall,"I guess you are right I probably shouldn't fight him alone...I am not too worried about her little sister though." |

Erin flushed, but smiled back. "It's not that I don't trust you. It's that I'm worried. Although I tend to be paranoid, this doesn't seem like an overreaction to me." She grinned, glad that Aurora hadn't been offended by her refusal- or worse, that she hadn't gone ahead and fought him anyways.
"So should we head to the Western Air Temple? It seems pretty pointless to make camp; Dravius and his sister will probably just go straight to the temple and attack them anyways. We could warn the Airbenders ahead of time if we went now." She stared thoughtfully in the direction that the temple probably was.

"Yes. I am sure it is very smart to go exactly were Dravius wants us to go. He probably is planning someway to attack us right now. Plus Airbenders don't need to worry. The Earth Kingdom has taken over there." Aurora said. She looked around holding her knives in her hands and started to walk towards the wall. She dug one knife in after the other climbing up it,"They aren't very far behind even though your rocks did slow them a little bit down."

Erin froze. "The Earth Kingdom took over?" She asked with disbelief. "No way... This is like a repetition of all that happened in the previous war." She closed her eyes and held her head in her hands. "Have the Earth Kingdom forgotten what happened to their people?"
She sighed. "Well, they may take us in anyways. If we just say we're travelers then we're technically not part of the war. They won't see Dravius and his sister kindly."
She looked up at Aurora's sarcasm. "We don't have any alternative. It's even more dangerous to go wandering around- he'll just track us down. We can't shake him off. I still think the Air Temple- inhabited by Earthbenders or not- is our best bet. Unless you have a better idea." She set her jaw stubbornly.
