Description

Ri-hua at age 12 and Zhao at 17 ( shorter sideburns XD)

I'll fix the grammar later... i'm really bad in chinese:
should translate like this:
" Today, i went to the fourth main gate to observe godfather's (Jeong Jeong) students. A man asked me about my blue flame. He said his surname was Zhao." - Wei Ri-hua

sorry for the big watermark... can't resist putting my name on it... don't know if grammar is correct
>excerpt from Hui-xing's (great x 3 grandfather of Ri-hua) dream/premonition journal, and was later written by rihua herself ... only with more details written and no pic.
>Since she is a fire guardian, one of her duties were to observe all the people coming in and out of the 4th gate, subdue any violator, and keep any invaders at bay.

story of pic
- She spends most of her time there with Jeong Jeong. He asked her to spar with one of his students to show them that they lack skill and agility. She didn't use fire bending at the beginning, but was forced to use her blue flame when it was getting out of hand. The guy(not Zhao) she sparred with has a bad temper.
- Zhao, being power hungry, asked her on how she attained so much power, complementing her at the same time.(she blushes) She just said "I trained hard.", feeling a bit awkward because Zhao was staring at her.
He asked her how she trained."The same as what Uncle Jeong Jeong's throws at you... You should train harder and be obedient to Uncle Jeong Jeong." *Oh, hell. how he hated her for that comment >: (
* Seeing him get angry, she tries to cool him down with, "I believe you can get more powerful than Uncle Jeong Jeong. You have so much stamina. You can go far ahead if you trained hard."( smile and kiss Zhao's forhead... blush even more) 'Why did I do that? Nooo!'
Zhao: Just Jeong Jeong... ;: (
Ri-hua: X( Ah... I don't know how powerful you'll get won't I? I did not say ' as powerful', I said 'More powerful'.
Jeong Jeong comes and orders Zhao to go back in line and stop intimidating Ri-hua.
Jeong: why did you kiss him.
Ri-hua: I don't know... maybe he was like father.
Jeong: How is he related to Cu-quang?
Ri-hua: Well, he gets angry easily. They have the same frowns. That might be why I kissed his forehead, like i do with father when he gets angry.
Jeong: You are lucky he isn't here with us. huh :D
Ri-hua follows Zhao with her eyes
Jeong:You like him don't you ? >: (
Ri-hua: No. *looks and pouts at jeong* I don't like disobedient men.
Jeong: I despise my students. *looks at ri-hua, who is frowning at him* Except you. I had no problems with training you... take away the times you burn up with fever after eating crustaceans or mollusk, and vomit when having eaten some meat.
Ri-hua: Thanks for being patient with me. :)

Ri-hua writes her "nah"( a long downward stoke made going from left to right) in an odd way Ex: the second char on the far left column
Hui-xing writes in Ri-hua's hand writing

EDIT_______________
changed some characters for translation... thanks :iconcanbing:
put in semi-seal script of Hui-xing (chinese characters of comet) in red, wrote Wei Ri-hua bigger

This picture holds a whole new meaning for me now... I remember commenting on it ages ago and thinking that the characters were so beautiful and wishing that I could read them, and now that I've been studying Chinese for four months, I can read some of them! :3 I'm not very good at reading traditional, but I understand what most of the first sentence says without looking at your translation. It's kind of cool.

Still such a beautiful picture. :3
