The next thing I knew, I saw the moon slayer. Was he admiral or captain? No, he could not have been one at this time. I seriously should listen to other's speeches. He got brown hair. I thought he was always gray-colored. Stress has done its work here.

(Thank you for your kind words Lao Beifong. I will take it from here. As you heard. I have come to you to bring a solution to this war. You will surely end this war when you follow my plan. I am planning to make an expedition to the Si Wong desert. The aim is to find a hidden library that is there. Unfortunately, it is lost in the desert and I need volunteers to guide me there in a harsh environment.) Lieutenant Zhao

I stopped listening there. He is trying to deceive everyone here. He is going to the spirit library which caused the death of the moon spirit. This is no good. As a lieutenant, he does not have great influential power. But he being here means that the fire nation army is close by.

Is the Beifong family being blackmailed here? I would be so glad to be a truth seer.

I doubt that they are threatened since Toph would know about it. I do not think she was so indifferent to pretend not to know anything. This would mean she is not inside the building. Could it be that she is meeting badgermoles right now? I can not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

(Where are you going, young man?) Master Yu

Oh boy. This can not be good.

(I was going to the toilet.) (Shamo)

Master Yu just kept watching my face. He is not a truth seer. I am certain. At least he would be more worried about what is happening on the stage.

(I can do it later.) Shamo

Should I give up or make a scene? Listening to Zhao will make me lose brain cells more than alcohol, negative. Seeing the iconic scene, positive. Removing these closes, positive. Making a point to my uncle, positive. Meeting badgermoles, positive. Getting these clothes off, positive. Are there any negative points to get out of here? I do not think so.

There is a waiter with a metal tray filled with glasses. I am sorry. I will casually rise my heel to bend earth in front of the waiter how is going to step there. That is not enough. So light insurance is a good measure. I bent earth under the waiter´s other foot while it carried feet closer together. This caused the tray to fall from the waiter´s hands.

It caused all attention to be concentrated there. So I took my chance and used the earth tunneling technique. I do not think anyone was looking at me. I managed to escape. This was one of the hardest techniques which Master Yu had taught to me. I am not as good as him with it but this distraction gave me enough time to escape without leaving any evidence. This was a perfect crime if something is.

Let´s see. Where is the closest cave where the blind young girl might lose herself into? There seems to be only one option since two rivers are dividing this land. Here is only one tunnel which is just made. Growing plants can be seen under where no light should get into.

I am going inside. I can not bring a torch since badgermoles do not like it. It not like I carry one either way.

The tunnel was a naturally dark and cold place. It is exactly the place where badgermole enjoy spending their time.

I should give up trying to spy on them. They will notice me way before then they can. I am only allowed to meet them if they want to do so. I have one idea of how to do that. Music. I have a hobby of playing the piano. Naturally, I can not that in a cave but I have a mouth. I can whistle. I chose to whistle the song Mitsu no Yoake. I doubt that it will cause an avalanche. I am also sure everyone will survive even if something like that happens.

I still try to use my other senses before I start whistling. I would like to meet them without mind-controlling techniques.

I am not completely hopeless without my eyes, but it does distract me. I can well sudden fast movement easily but as far as I have seen no badgermole could be noticed. They are so talented at bending that it is so silent. I do not mean silent by noise. It is silent by affecting our surroundings. This might be a big reason why no uncontrollable collapses happen while badgermole bends the earth.

The closest thing I can think of is Netero´s nen aura. You can not predict what he is going to do while looking at his aura. They are impossible to predict at least by me. I think Toph is similar to them.

I suddenly heard the laugh of a young girl. This must be a good sign.

My eyes have just gotten used to this darkness. Behind the corner, I could see Toph with badgermoles. At least I think they are them.

I chose that hiding behind the corner would be a bad thing so I revealed myself and started to sit down on the ground to enjoy the sight and feeling. They were not bothered by me so I continued to watch them.

They went upwards until I could not see them. I chose to leave the cave.

I was just about to leave the cave but I heard a familiar voice. It was Zhao.

(Plan is moving forward excellently. We just need to find that boy and make him come with us. There is no way we can trust some sand benders with this mission. We need their help. They will never backstab us.) Lieutenant Zhao

(I know you are obsessed with the library but we can not spend any more time here. We do not have enough resources to fund this expedition anymore. You can only go with your privates. We can not take any more risks on this mission. You are on your own starting tomorrow. You can only come back if you succeed with your mission. This is your last chance. Do not waste it.) Nameless Captain

Please, do not corner desperate rat anymore than necessary. You will get bitten.

Wait a minute. They are in the cave. Correct? Could this be a chance to save the moon spirit? No. I can not kill if they have not done anything wrong yet. I have not killed anyone ever. How could I kill anyone without the warning?

####. Toph is coming up. This can not be any worse. No, do not think like that. Otherwise, it will happen for certain. Fortunately, she did not dig up here. She is going toward to river. Wait! River! She can not swim. Was she trying to avoid us? Is this my fault? No. I can not make it end like this.

(Wait Toph! There is a river ahead of you! You can not move any further than that!) I run direct between two fire nation military personnel to stop Toph from entering the river.

Toph was saved but my shout caused the avalanche. This is no good. There is a group of high-ranking non-earthbender coming toward us. Wait! Did I just call Toph Toph? This can not be good.

I must stop these rocks at first either way. How did I mess this up this badly? I moved rocks away like Master Yoda from Star Wars. This was done with minimum movement. I can not cause any more damage than I have caused already.

(What is happening here?) Lao Beifong

(That boy stopped the avalanche dad.) Toph Beifong

(What are you doing with her? You are supposed to be in your room. You are too fragile to stay here. We will go right the way. Goodbye. Party is over.) Lao Beifong

(Did you see that. This kid is an amazing earthbender how is willing to act in a desperate moment. His name is Shamo which means desert in an ancient language. He has proved that he is more than capable of coming to this mission. Give him loud applause everyone.) Lieutenant Zhao

I was surrounded by loud applause from everyone.

(I came here yesterday and I saw this kid training with kids from an older age. What surprised me was not his earthbending. He only used earthbending to crush incoming rocks. Everything else was done by him in martial arts. His movement got both power and endurance which should be impossible. I am not asking you to give me his training secrets. I just need his skills to get to the library and get back here. Give the child change to prove his worth. Please give me a chance to end this war.

(Wait a minute. You are talking about my student. You are not allowed to take him without my permission.) Master Yu

Thank you. I knew there was something good in you.

(I am willing to give your academy fundings for your whole year earning amount.) Lieutenant Zhao

(Take him as long as you need to.) Master Yu

I was proved incorrect.

(You still need his permission first.) Master Yu

God does exist.

(You will come with me or you know what will happen.) Devil Zhao whispered to me.

He lifts his lantern upward with a strange movement. I saw on the horizon multiple lanterns lighted up. They were not made by lighting stones.

(Of course. I am happy to come with you to the Si Wong desert.) Shamo

I gave the happiest smile I have ever had.

Great. I am going expedition only surrounded by enemies. Zhao was also the only one to return from that desert. Should I make my tombstone? It seems like I should take a break from writing a diary.
