There was that smacking sound again, laced with the painful groans. He could never get used to the sounds. They made him angry, sad, on edge...fired up. He could never watch the source of the sound. When he knew it was coming, he'd drag his little brother into their room and wait until their father left. But this time things were different. He didn't leave the room. He had his back turned, listening to every hit that connected with flesh, each hit that drove him closer and closer to the edge. Until..
He turned around and saw his father's hand come up. He ran. Everything seemed like it was in slow motion, even his running was slower than he had liked. After what felt like an eternity, he finally made it to the man. He grabbed the raised arm.
"Please, stop hurting her!"
His father turned around. Only, it wasn't his father. It was him, the adult version, wearing that mask. He took a step back and made another horrible realization. The woman being hit wasn't his mother, it was Korra.
"No...I'm not like him." He turned around and came face-to-face with his kid brother.
"You abandoned me. And mother." Tarrlok.
"I didn't. You didn't want to come with me, you chose to stay!"
"You abandoned us and left us in the hands of those monsters."
"I...I had no choice. I needed to leave. What does it matter? I'm getting rid of benders. No one will ever have to suffer the way we did ever again."
He woke up with another headache. These dreams were becoming more frequent as the days progressed. He was used to having flashbacks of his childhood but these dreams were twisting into something else. During the day he'd push any thoughts about his childhood into the farthest recesses of his mind, only to have them resurface in his dreams. But he couldn't let that wear him down. He had a duty to others. He was the key to a peaceful existence for everyone. A world without bending, without prejudice and fighting. After a few generations, bending will just be a myth. He'd make the ultimate sacrifice of being the last bender in the world, a death he'd gladly accept.
There was a knock on his door just as he finished readying himself for the day.
"Come in."
The Lieutenant walked in as Amon stared out of his window. "Any news, Lieutenant?"
"Yes sir. With Tenzin and Bei Fong captured, the people are rallying for new leaders just as you said would happen. With some of the council members missing in action, an election will be held in a month. Fai-Han from squad 7 has been chosen to run for president. Shu will be our inside source who'll help with campaigning and will also rig the election if needed be. Akio will handle endorsement. He'll get shop owners, restaurant owners, any business owner to support Fai-Han. By force if he has to."
"Excellent." Amon said as he strolled past the Lieutenant, who followed him out of the room and closed the door.
The two walked down the corridors, passing a lot of Equalists like the Lieutenant updated Amon on the latest news and finding.
"...And we're not entirely sure where Tarrlok is but we did get some reports that.." The Lieutenant was interrupted by a young man dressed in the Equalist uniform walking up to them.
"Excuse for me interrupting, but we just got word that Tarrlok will be running for president as well."
"What? I thought council members couldn't run." The Lieutenant said as he stepped in front of Amon.
"He found a loop-hole. He resigned as a council member and in an attempt to gain more power, has announced that he's running for president. The fact that he has a party out looking for the Avatar has already gained him some favors, although not everyone is anxious to have the Avatar back. They believe she has abandoned them and they're looking for a new hero, which will work in our favor."
"Then that will be our focus point for the campaign. Fai-Han will be the new face of Republic city, the new hero. We'll have to stage some arrests of Equalists, pretend he's cleaning us up." The Lieutenant said.
"I'm still a little confused on how things will run after he's president. Won't the citizens become outraged once they know he's working with us?"
"Amon's got it figured out, right Sir-" The Lieutenant turned around. "Oh no."
The young man's eyes widened as he rushed over to Amon's side. Amon stood frozen in his spot, his were staring out at nothing and much to their alarm, his eyes were glowing.
"Quick, someone call a doctor!" The young man shouted. Everyone stopped what they were doing and rushed over to Amon.
"Not again!" The Lieutenant cried. He tried to shake Amon but his body was as hard and stubborn as a boulder; He didn't budge an inch.
"You mean this happened before?" An older woman asked as she snapped her fingers in front of Amon's face.
"Do you think maybe it's something spiritual? Like he's connecting with the spirits? The ones who granted him the gift of bending removal?" Someone in the crowd asked.
"Do we leave him here or..what?"
7 year old Noatak entered the warm hut with his younger brother. The smell of his mother's delicious cooking filled the air. It was the perfect way to end a long day of chores and playing. He saw his mother stirring a pot at the stove, humming softly to herself. His father was at the table, reading a book.
"Mom, what's for dinner?" He asked.
His mother turned around and gave him a warm smile. "Just some stew, some buns, and for dessert.." She put aside the wooden spoon she was using to stir the pot and opened the oven. Using a cloth, she pulled out a tray of green kale cookies that had been shaped into various objects and animals and put it on the table. "We'll have some of these delicious cookies you two helped me make."
"Those look delicious. Can we have one before dinner? Pleeaaase." Tarrlok asked, giving his mom the puppy eyes.
"Well...What do you think sweetie?" She asked her husband.
He didn't pull away from his book. "I suppose one wouldn't hurt them." He responded.
"Yes!" The boys shouted in unison.
"I want this one, I made it look like a penguin." Noatak grabbed the cookie from the tray.
Tarrlok took a minute to exam the tray. He was looking for a particular cookie but it wasn't there. "Oh no, I don't see my polar-dog cookie!"
"Ew, what's this?" Noatak said as he pointed to a cookie in the corner that was shaped like a blob with frowned when his brother started laughing.
"Awww..my cookie got messed up." He pulled the cookie from the tray and looked at it sadly.
Noatak laughed harder, causing Tarrlok to start tearing up.
"Noatak! Stop it."He heard his mother yell.
Tarrlok was startled by a large hand snatching the cookie out of his hands. He watched the cookie disappear behind the book his father was reading, then he heard the light sounds of a few chomps and some chewing. Tarrlok was about to cry out in protest, then his father returned the octopus cookie to him, only it didn't look like an octopus anymore. He had bitten the cookie to make it look more like a polar bear-dog.
Tarrlok looked up at his father, who he could tell was smiling behind his book. A smile crept on Tarrlok's face. Noatak's laughter ceased as he looked at the cookie. It was an impressive polar bear-dog shape.
"Woah dad, how'd you do that?" Noatak asked. His father didn't answer.
"I don't know if you boys realize, but your father's an amazing artist. Before you guys were born, he used to do a lot of painting and sculpting." His mother responded as she put the pot of stew on the table next to the dinner buns. "Anyway, wash up. It's time to eat."
"Wow..dad's an artist? I want to be just like him when I grow up." Noatak said before he left with his brother to the bathroom.

Korra gasped loudly as her eyes snapped opened. She was sweating and breathing heavily. Where was she? She took a second to look around and allow her breathing to return to normal. She was still in the hut. Huu was on the other side of the hut, sitting on the floor and sipping some tea from what it looked like.
"What happened?" Korra asked.
"You tell me. What did you see?"
"It was...I saw the same guy from before. But, it wasn't a bad memory. It was kind of sweet. I don't understand it. In the first memory I felt fear and anger. In this one I felt..warmth and love. I thought his father some manipulative, abusive man but..in this memory it's like he's some kind of sensitive, caring father that his children look up to."
Huu didn't say anything. He sipped his tea.
"People are so two-faced." 'Just like Amon..If only they knew.'
"Everyone has good and bad in them. Some people struggle with it more than others."
"Some people don't have any good in them and should be wiped off the face of the planet." Korra almost yelled, but she kept her voice leveled, though the anger still seeped from her mouth all the same.
"Perhaps you are right, but everyone needs to be treated like they're worth helping and worth given the chance, otherwise we can end up just like them. Negative emotions are so easily spread but so are positive emotions."
"I'll never end up like some people out there.." Korra stood up from the bed, ignoring the soreness in her body. "Am I going to have these random 'connections' from now on?"
"I can't say for certain, only your spirit knows. Although I imagine as you go further into your pregnancy, they will be less and less frequent because of the strain they can put on your body and the baby. You'll likely also see shorter and shorter memories."
"Oh, great." Korra said sarcastically. "At least I have something to look forward to during this pregnancy."
"I suggest you visit one of the mid-wives soon. You're entering your first trimester and might be in your best interest to have someone monitor the progress."
"The last thing I want to think about is this thing growing inside me right now." Korra said before she stepped out of the hut.
Huu remained seated, barely moving as if he was meditating except for the occasional sip of his tea. "She's going to end up loving that child to death." He said before taking a sip of his tea. "But that's none of my business."
Korra strolled through the little village. Well, it wasn't as little as she remembered in the books about Aang's travels. It was like a town now and very busy but very..intimate. So many huts and almost as many stands outside the huts where people were trading various goods. Oh but so many food stands...
She didn't realize how hungry she was until she walked out of the hut, but then again, she didn't eat breakfast. It was past noon and a perfect excuse to have a large lunch. The only problem was deciding what to eat. The fish smelled great but the scent of something that smelled like arctic hen caught her nose as well, followed by the smell of freshly made buns. So many options.
An arm wrapped around her shoulder and fear quickly replaced her hunger as she flipped the assailant onto his back in front of her. She backed away slowly until she realized it was just Chung-Hee. He was rolling on the ground, groaning in pain.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know it was you. I wasn't thinking."
He gave a small smile before standing up and dusting himself off. "Not a problem, just warn a guy next time you want to flip him. I was just wondering if you wanted to have lunch together. I normally have lunch with Eun-Hee but she's discussing some business proposal..thing with someone. I'm buying."
"Well..if you're buying."
"Great! But you'll have to take off your clothes."
Korra's face turned red. "Excuse me?"
"That water-tribe get-up will have to go. It'll be our first time and it needs to be special. I already picked out a nice dining robe for you. It matches mine."
"It's just lunch...We've had it before."
"Yes but our first formal lunch together. So-" Chung-Hee turned Korra around and began pushing her in the opposite direction. "Go back to the hut, put on the robes and meet me at the Catgator Lounge. It's northeast of here in the large hut. It'll have a sign outside of it, can't miss it. Now go."
Korra began walking once Chung-Hee stopped pushing her. "Alright, alright. I'm going."

Meanwhile
Bolin, Asami, and Mako were gathering supplies for their trip to the Earth Kingdom. Chief Tonraq had given them food and some money. Bolin was loading the food onto the bison, much to Mako's dismay but Bolin convinced him he wouldn't lose the food this time. With Bolin packing the food and luggage, Mako and Asami decided to go around the market for a little bit. Truth be told, Asami wasn't interested in shopping, she wanted to talk to Mako alone.
Asami watched Mako as he looked over some scarves at a cart. He wasn't thinking of getting rid of his current scarf but he figured a water tribe scarf would make a nice gift for someone. Maybe Korra..
"So...how do you feel about Korra?"
She saw Mako tense up. "Why do you ask?"
"I see the way you look at her. You don't look at me the same way."
"That doesn't mean anything." Mako said, hoping to avoid the confrontations.
"You kissed her."
Mako froze, dropping the scarf he was holding in his hand. "Bolin told you, didn't he?"
"It doesn't matter who told me or if I even saw you. This..whole thing between us isn't going to work is it?"
Mako turned to Asami and pulled her into a hug. "I care about you, Asami."
"But you don't love me." She whispered before pulled away from the hug. "I think we should just be friends. It's not right for us to continue this, not when you have feelings for someone else." She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and released him.
"I'm sorry."
"You have nothing to apologize for, other than cheating on me of course but get me one of those scarves and we'll call it even." Asami winked at him before walking away.
Mako hadn't noticed the scarf vendor that was listening to their conversation. They looked at each other as the awkwardness set in.
"Um..I'd like to buy this scarf please." Mako picked up a blue scarf white swirls along it and white tassels at the end. He handed the vendor some money, who in returned gave Mako a matching scarf but in green instead of blue.
"I think you'll need both of these, it's on the house."
Korra took a deep breath before opening the door to the large hut. She felt a little uncomfortable in the robes she was wearing. They were sewed like a Fire Nation robe but the design looked like it was from the Earth Kingdom; It was green with blue subtle flowers on it that had blue vines branching from it to create a swirly design through the outfit. Though it was loose like a Fire Nation robe, it was snug around her curves which she had to admit that she liked. Her usual outfit didn't show off her curves as much and she enjoyed feeling feminine every once in a while.
Inside the hut was empty. She had expected to see at least a few people inside. She noticed there were tables and cushions throughlout the large hut and a door that lead to somewhere in the back of the hut. There was a large table in the middle with two cushions on opposite sides. The table already had a buffet of food laid out on it and on the side facing the door was Chung-Hee, sitting on the cushion. He was wearing a robe almost exactly like Korra's except it had red flowers and vines instead of blue ones.
"Katak! You made it, just in time for lunch. Come sit."
Korra seated herself at the table, her eyes scanning over the food. She never felt so hungry before and the delicious smells gracing her nostrils didn't help at all. She wanted to hurry up and eat but she didn't want to be rude.
"I'm glad you could make it. Please, help yourself." He flashed her a smile. She nodded and started piling food onto her plate.
"Where is everyone?" Korra asked.
"They're in the back. I rented out this entire place just so we could have lunch together. Well, I had initially rented it out for Eun-Hee and I but since she's busy and all."
"So I was just a back-up plan?" Korra asked with a mouth full of hot noodles.
"No no, I mean I was going to invite you anyway. Eventually. ...At some point."
Korra didn't say anything. She focused on eating the food on her plate, which was a lot.
Chung-Hee and Korra ate in silence for a few minutes. Korra didn't mind, the silence was welcoming. A man, who she figured worked in the hut, brought out some hot tea for them and left.
"I'm glad to see you have an appetite. You were sick so much when we first met you, I was worried you had a weak stomach." Chung-Hee expressed.
"Oh, I had uh, gotten a stomach bug a couple of days before I met you two. I guess I wasn't completely over it until recently. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it just suddenly came back on and off for the next month. You know how unpredictable those bugs can be." Korra laughed nervously, which caused Chung-Hee to raise an eyebrow.
"I suppose..I'm not a doctor or anything. I thought you were pregnant at first but then I figured it was just Eun-Hee's cooking. You keep eating her cooking and you'll never get rid of a stomach bug."
"You know, she's not that bad of a cook."
"I know, I just like teasing her about it. This is nice. I'm glad we had a chance to talk. You're usually so quiet and..sort of sad."
"I'm not sad. I just..been through a lot is all." Korra was poking her food with her chopsticks at this point.
"I know we're not exactly great friends but I want you to know that I would like to be because I care about you. Both Eun-Hee and I care about you very much despite the short time we've known each other. We're here for you if you need someone to talk to or just sit with you when you're alone or anything."
"I appreciate it but I don't need anyone. I'd rather be alone to be honest. I'm not..one for companionship."
"I see." Chung-Hee "I hope I didn't ruin your appetite."
"No..no. I'm actually still hungry." Korra began slurping down a bowl of seaweed noodles.
"Do you have any siblings?"
Korra shook her head.
"Oh."
Korra thought for a moment. "Do you have any siblings besides Eun-Hee."
"No, it's just me and her. Although we have a lot of cousins. My mom used to tell me her brother wanted a large family. He eventually found a woman who wanted one as well. Now I have 15 cousins."
Korra almost choked on her tea. "15?!"
"Haha, yeah. But they live on a farm so, I guess it's understandable. They need all the hands they can get."
"I have two cousins. They're twins and smell like an old lady's actic."
Chung-Hee chuckled. "I hope Eun-Hee and I don't smell like old lady attic."
"No, you guys smell way better than an attic. Like a..living room."
Korra and Chung-Hee chuckled. For the first time in what seemed like a long time, Korra felt content.

2 Weeks Later
Mako, Asami, and Bolin had finally arrived in the Earth Kingdom. At first, they thought the hardest thing would be convincing the Earth Queen to aid them in their search but now it seemed like the hardest thing was getting an audience with her. They had been shuffled around, sent to talk to this and that person, and finally given a time at which they could see her- Between 3 days from then to 6 months.
"I'm telling you, we should sneak in and once the Earth Queen sees how nice we are and how urgent the matter is, she won't care that we snuck in!"
Bolin was hatching up schemes to see the Earth Queen quicker in the Inn room. Asami and Mako weren't comfortable with anything Bolin came up with, especially since all his plans involved risking them getting caught doing illegal things.
"Bolin, if we get caught doing any of those things, they could throw us in jail. That would make our search take even longer." Mako said.
"We can't be in jail longer than it'd take to see the Earth Queen! At this rate, we'll be all old and hairy and eating old people porrige waiting for her and Korra will end up all old and hairy and on a cane that she waves back and forth at young kids and teenager and then she just falls over and dies." Bolin's excitement was getting the better of him, once again.
"Calm down. No one's going to be eating 'old people porridge'. I think I may have a way to convince the Earth Queen to see us." Asami said as she grabbed a bag sitting besides one of the beds. "I'll be back soon." She said before she stepped out of the door, leaving the two brothers wondering what she had planned.
Bolin and Mako stared at each other, then shrugged.
"So I've been thinking..." Bolin began as he sat on a bed.
"Oh no." Mako whispered to himself.
"What if we find Korra and she doesn't want to come back with us?"
Mako sighed. "I've been wondering that too. I try not to think about it. Our top priority is to make sure she's alright."
"Yea, I know. I still can't figure out why she freaked out like that and left. At first I thought maybe it was because she regretted chosing you over me and then I looked in the mirror and realized how ridiculous that was. No one would run away from this."
"Uh huh." Mako rolled his eyes.
"Something in my gut tells me it's Amon though. Have you noticed she didn't talk about how that 'infiltration mission' went? How she just started becoming more distant?"
"Yeah, I have. I figured maybe it was just the stress of saving a city where half the residents want you gone."
"That's what I thought too, until I started reading."
"When did you start reading?" Mako had never known Bolin to be a casual reader.
"Before we left Korra's parents, I came across this book in one of the shops. It's actually really fascinating. It talks about how our minds work and everything." Bolin reached under the pillow of the bed he was sitting on and pulled out a red book, which he opened and began flipping through 'til he found the right page. "In one of the pages it lists what goes on in a person's mind when they go through a traumatic experience. Some of Korra's behavior matches what the book says."
"Wow, Bolin. It's not like you to do research like that...What does the book say?"
Bolin cleared his throat. "Victims of traumatic experiences often develop what is known as anxiety, which can lead to panic attacks, lost of appetite, stomach pains, lose of hair, sleep problems, and irrational fears. Some have also been known to distance themselves from others or the outside world, often hiding in their room or wherever they feel safest."
"So...what does this tell us?"
"Something happened to Korra and I have three theories on it. According to Tenzin, all this started when Tarrlok made Korra infiltrate that Equalist meeting. With intense research, I have concluded that there are three things that could have possibly caused such a traumatic experience that would have made Korra, the Avatar, run off."
"Go on..." Mako raised an eyebrow.
"She saw Tarrlok naked, she saw Amon naked, or she saw both of them naked."
Mako face-palmed.

Korra sat on a bed in a small room. The bed reminded her of the beds she saw people do acupuncture on, only part of the bed was elevated. The room was brightly lit with windows. The shades let in enough light without sacrificing privacy. She saw weird medical instruments on the counters in front of her, some were in a cup. Looking at them made her feel a little sick. She tried not to think of what they were used for and what could possibly go wrong that would make a medic use them on her. On the other side of the room sat Eun-Hee, who was tapping her foot on the wooden floor impatiently with her arms crossed. This was one of the rare days she wore her hair down instead of up in a ponytail like her brother. Korra wasn't sure how she ended up in this situation. She had meant to keep her pregnancy as quiet as possible but it somehow slipped out during a conversation with Eun-Hee. It was going to come to light eventually, she knew that, especially since Eun-Hee was following her to the midwife and couldn't be derailed. Chung-Hee did warn her that his sister could be nosey sometimes.
Korra began to play with the braided low ponytail she was sporting that day. It fell across the side on one of her shoulders. She was starting to think to make that her signature style. She'd be less recognizable with it, especially if she kept wearing the clothes Chung-Hee kept insisting she wear. Today he made her wear a dark green tunic-style robe with matching pants underneath. They were tighter than traditional Earth Kingdom pants but very comfortable she had to admit. Korra was brought out of her fashion thoughts when the midwife opened the room. She was an older lady, maybe in her 40s. She had a white smock over her clothes and had her brown hair pinned up in a bun. Korra didn't think midwives made it a habit to look professional while conducting business.
"I'm sorry about that interruption, Ms. Katak. We had a little emergency but nothing too serious."
Korra only nodded.
"According to all the tests we ran, you're in pretty good shape. It's too early at this point to tell if the baby is developing as it should be so I'm advising you to come once a month during your first trimester and we'll go from there. Since you know the conception date and the day of your missed cycle, it'll be much earlier to tell if the baby is where it needs to be in development. There is one thing I'm concerned with..You seem stressed. You should try to relax, it'll make the pregnancy easier. Maybe take a hot bubble bath once a week or so."
"Is there anything you can give her for her morning sickness? That could cut down on her stress." Eun-Hee chimed in.
The midwife pulled a lemon out of her smock and handed it to Korra.
"A lemon?" She asked.
"Suck on it, drink it with some tea. It'll help cut down on the nausea. Some women say it gets rid of it completely."
Korra was startled by the door suddenly flying open. She saw Chung-Hee in the doorway.
"Katak! Oh Katak!" He said as he rushed over to her side and grabbed her hand. "Why didn't you tell me we were having a baby?"
"Uh...What?" Korra asked with a puzzled look.
"I can't believe this. I've always wanted to be an uncle! What are we naming the little guy?"
"How did you know I was here?"
"We'll need diapers, clothes, a crib, toys. Oh, lots of toys. He's going to want to play with toys. And food!"
"And what makes you think it's going to be a boy?" Eun-Hee said as she stood up. "It could be a girl."
Chung-Hee leaned close to Korra's stomach and started whispering. "Not trying to pressure you or anything, but you should totally come out a boy. OW!" He screeched as Eun-Hee grabbed his ear.
The midwife cleared her throat and stood up. "I'll take my leave, unless anyone has any questions."
"No...No questions. Just pain." Chung-Hee said.
Korra sighed. It was going to be a long pregnancy.

"I can't believe you got the Earth Queen to see us! How'd you do it Asami?" Bolin exclaimed. Just yesterday they were sitting around their hotel, waiting for Asami to return and when she did, she had gotten an audience with the Earth Queen.
Asami walked along the Earth Kingdom Palace with Bolin and Mako, on their way to talk to the Earth Queen finally. Asami talked low enough so that the guards standing in the hallway couldn't hear her. "I told her I was from Future Industries. I still have some of my dad's plans for some of the machines he was working on. I told her assistant that I would be interested in sharing them if she would grant us an audience and they scheduled us as soon as possible. It turns out, the Earth Kingdom, or at least the Earth Queen, isn't that informed on what's going on in Republic City. As far as she knows, my father isn't a traitor to the city and there's only a few rebel incidents."
"Thanks for that, Asami. Now let's hope our royal highness is kind enough to lend us some help."
They approached the throne room where the Earth Queen was standing in front of her throne, her hands inside her sleeves. She had a mean look on her face, though rumor has it she always has a mean look on her face.
Immediately the three bowed in respect.
"Your highness, I have the blueprints as requested. I'm willing to give to them you if you would just hear us out." Asami said.
"Very well, but hurry it up. I don't like snotty-nosed teens in my throne room."
"The Avatar's gone missing and the situation in Republic City has gotten worse. The Equalists have almost complete control over the city and it's only a matter of time before they spread. The first nation they're going to hit is the Earth Kingdom. We were hoping you could send out a search party to find her whereabouts. The Water Tribes have already sent out help and Firelord Zuko has agreed to send out a search party as well on behalf of his daughter." Mako explained.
"You want me to waste good men looking for the Avatar? What has the Avatar done for me?"
"Well she could help save your nation from a bad guy trying to get rid of all benders, which includes the benders that are protecting you right now." Mako said.
"Forget it. Guards, take the bag to the war room. I believe our conversation is over."
Bolin cleared his throat and put on his dorkiest smile. Asami pinched the bridge of her nose as a horrified look appeared on Mako's face.
"Ms. Earth Queen, may I call you Ms. Earth Queen?" Bolin asked as he approached her throne.
"No."
"Wow you are looking as radiant as ever. You know, those posters don't do you justice. No artist or machine can capture the entire essence which is your beauty. I mean, just look at you. You are working that yellow. I bet every kid in the kingdom wished you were their grandmother so they could inherit your good looks."
"I hate children." The Earth Queen's tone turned sour, not that it wasn't already, but now she sounded even more irritated.
"Right, right. Children are just awful. That's why they should all be bowing down to you. And you know who could make them all bow down? The Avatar. Just imagine they hear you found the Avatar and everyone's lining up to bow down to you and give you their money. So if you could just..send out a search party.."
The Earth Queen's face turned into a nasty scowl. "Get out!"
"Well that went well." Mako said as they stepped outside of the palace.
"Give it any second, she'll realize how much she loved my charm and call us back to tell us she's going to help us." Bolin said.
"Pssst." The gang looked around, trying to identify who was trying to catch their attention. Asami spotted an older man hiding behind one of the structural beams at the entrance of the palace.
"Can we help you?" She took a few steps towards the man, who emerged from the shadows.
"I'm Gun, the Earth Queen's grand secretariat. I know she was a little harsh to you guys but I think we need the Avatar if we're to stop the Equalists from spreading. The Earth Queen's been kept in the dark about the situation because we don't want her doing anything rash. I'll send out a party on her behalf and also have any print shops print missing posters."
"Wow, that's great! I knew my charm worked on someone." Bolin said.
"How can we ever thank you?" Mako asked.
"Help the Avatar bring down Amon and his Equalists."
They all knew it was easier said than done. It was going to be a long journey before the Equalists would be stopped.
