Chapter 72: Practicing Waterbending

"Let's change the subject," Waterstreak shook his head, "so anyway. We're here to learn, right? So anyway... That pine tree can be the target. Try to Waterbend onto it, close your eyes tight if you need to. Now go."
Ash closed his eyes. He imagined water hitting the pine tree. He repeated it over and over in his mind, hoping it'd work.
Something that sounded like water hit a surface, splashing Ash. When he opened his eyes, Waterstreak was nodding.
"You hit the side of the mountain," Waterstreak reported, "try again."
Ash again, imagined the water hitting the pine tree. He shut his eyes, and repeated it over and over, like last time. Once again, he heard the sound of water hitting a surface.
"You hit the tree, good job!" Waterstreak said cheerfully, "keep doing it."
Ash did it over and over again with his eyes shut, imagining the water moving.
"Alright now!" Waterstreak smiled after a while, "try doing it with your eyes open."
His eyes open, Ash imagined the water hitting the pine tree. Gasping, he watched as a big ball of water hit the center of the pine tree.
Waterstreak laughed, "That was the exact reaction I got the first time I opened my eyes and did Waterbending. Keep trying."
So, Ash did that over and over, the ball of water getting bigger. He learned that the faster you imagine it, the faster the ball of water would go. Waterstreak was quite impressed.
"Excellent! You're a fast learner! Now, to make the water stretch out and more flexible, you got to move your paws in a graceful motion. Not in the air, but on the ground works for you since you're, well, a wolf," explained Waterstreak.
Ash's paws crunched in the snow as he moved them, at the same time imagining the water heading towards the pine tree. A ball of water zoomed for the pine tree, but didn't stretch out.
"Ah, takes some practice the first time. Try again," Waterstreak nodded.
Ash tried again. He moved his paws on the snow, but suddenly, the world went black, and Ash crashed onto the ground.
