Masaru dragged his fist across a small crystal on his belt, igniting a small spark and pulling it away from the belt and growing it into a full flame. It was of an intense green color in his hand, reflecting on his clothes in a green hue. He looked to the waterbender that Yue had just released, shifting the fire ever so carefully to move closer to her. He said nothing to her. A plan was forming in his head, and he hoped that it would sound as cool in real life as it did in his head. 

"Okay." He said to her calmly, the flame still being played around with in his hands. "I want you to free those waterbenders and launch them into the ocean when I give you the command. Killing them would make us just as bad as them, so I have a message that I need sent to their leader." 

He spun around on his heel, looking at the two as they struggled to move. "Okay you two." He spoke once more. "I have a message for Iluq, and you two are going to deliver."

Tikaani and Tonrar glared daggers at the Avatar. He must not have known what Iluq was really capable of, otherwise, he would have just stated his message aloud. In one of the few times that Tonrar was actually right about something, he seemed to be doing it for dramatic effect, though he did not actually know of Iluq's power either.

"I want Iluq to know that the Avatar is beginning his training, and nothing is going to stop him from learning the elements and taking her down!"

He shouted triumphantly before looking back at the other waterbender. "Now!" He called out. "Yue, keep an eye out for them. They could just stay in hiding and not actually give the message."
