Snippet #1734572

Deep in the forest sat a military base. There were many guards stationed around it's perimeter and interior. It's main purpose was too be a food storage for the military and to guard confiscated reading material that supports bending. Most of the guards were relaxed and slacking off. After all, who would attack a base during the day?

Well the bright day suddenly got darker, as a heavy mist rolled in, completely surrounding the base. The soldiers could barely see 5 feet in front of them. A dark figure weaved in and out of the guards unseen. One of the patrolling guards stumbled on something. He looked down to see what it was and found another soldier with his throat ripped out. His eyes widened in fear and he was about to call out, when four prong like things stabbed through his chest. He turned his head to see the face of a demon staring back at him, before he died. The demon then threw the bodies into a hay stack and went on with his quest.

The demon made it into the base and went into the holding area for bender scrolls. He tore the place apart but he could not find what he was looking for. He thought of where it might be, and he believed he figured it out. He left the storeroom and went to where the military rations were being kept. He doused all of the food with oil and lit on fire with a torch. He fled out of a window, killing a guard as he ran past by slashing him across the spine with his claws. He was silent as he sped across the wall towards the commanders office. He stalked by an open window and waited for the commander to be alerted of the fire. He id not have to wait long, soon a soldier came and the commander was off. The demon slipped inside through the window and searched through the commanders things. He came across a chest that was locked in the drawer of the commanders desk. He quickly opened the lock by freezing it and inside was a white and blue scroll that was sealed the sacred symbol of the water tribe. The demon stuffed the scroll into a compartment on his clothing with a blue hand. The demon then jumped out of the window and began bending the mist around him and he shot over the wall.

Still covered by the mist, the demon landed in a tree and removed it's face to reveal a young tanned skinnned man with light purple eyes and dark hair. He took out the scroll and simply stared at it. "Finally." he said to himself. He put the scroll away and picked an apple from the tree he was in. Hiro took a bite out of it and savored the flavor. He was about to rest his eyes, when he heard horns and sounds of Ostrich horses. He then heard voices. "It's in the mist! Follow the mist and you'll follow the demon! Get that scroll back at all costs, and make it pay for the men and food we lost!" yelled the voice of the commander to his troops, which by the sound of feet running was a good many. Hiro quickly threw on his mask and leaped away.

He was jumping from tree to tree, mist surrounding him, when he heard sounds up ahead. Voices and a fight it sounded like. When he finally got close enough, he saw what looked like two benders fighting and three people watching. Hiro quickly formed a plan and jumped from the trees and landed in the space between the fighters and the observers. He then had the mist swirl around all of them so all they could see were each other and himself. He held his gloved hands up into the mist and claws of ice formed off of his fingertips. Hiro then took a battle position facing where the Equalist troops would be coming from. When he spoke through his mask, his voice sounded distorted and echoed, as if a deep voiced man was taking in a water filled cave. "Equalists, be ready." Though he preferred to fight alone, he felt it would be easier to escape if the soldiers were distracted with fighting other benders.
