It is cold. I know that I am going toward the south pole but still it is cold. Air benders can keep themselves warm by breathing. I am so jealous. Their life is even higher so it is way colder there than here. Firebenders has it even worse. They are used to stay in a warm climate. It makes sense to attack earth kingdom instead of water tribes.

We have been sailing for over a week. Make things even worse summer. In other words, it is even colder than normal. Make things worse is finding a landing spot. How did they manage to attack this place hundred years ago? Could it be that they were in business? That would explain how they managed to live in such a desolate place.

We have circled the island for days. No landing spot has been seen. I have removed multiple rocks away but it never stops. We have been many times close to getting into the coast but tides make it difficult. If we hit the bottom of the sea then we are most likely ending up dead.

It is too cold. Why can I not forget even a second that it is cold?

(Did you manage to sleep last night?) Oki

Talks the person who suffered ocean sickness all this time. Somehow I managed to stay healthy. It is not easy since no c-vitamin can get easily in here which causes easily health problems. I managed to stay healthy by drinking healthy tea. This allows me to get a c-vitamin easily. Unfortunately not many appreciate tea which does not help at all.

(Barely but managed.) Shamo

(What is your idea? Do we get to shore today?) Oki

(I hope but no promises. We have enough time to hear why you came here. Are you interested to share?) Shamo

(I give up. The royal family has planted me as a spy here. I was ordered to share anything happening on this trip.) Oki

(I assume that it is alright to tell this.) Shamo

(You are correct. There was no order to stay quiet. I was against telling since no spy tells he is a spy from the beginning.) Oki

(You are a horrible spy.) Shamo

(I have nothing to say back to that except you must have an idea of this.) Oki

(My talk with Azula came to a sudden end. Either she ordered someone to spy on me or she came here. I am certain that there are others.) Shamo

(Any plans for it.) Oki

(Absolutely nothing. I have not got enough time to bother with those things. I am going outside for my shift.) Shamo

(Do not freeze out there.) Oki

Two hours later.

If there is something good in here then it is winged lemurs. Who said they were endangered or could it be someone who hunted them during this time period? They are highly curious and friendly. They came and brought some food to us.

There were somehow were interested to try attacking one. I managed to make a stop to it.

That reminded me of something. Air nomads trained these to bring their staff if they lost them. Normally staff and spears are too heavy to carry. For that reason, there were theories about how Momo could do it without training. I should test it.

I bent earth to make a long thin stick over a meter long and threw it. No lemur was interested at first but from far away small individual came. It was just a baby but it tried to bring the stick back. It was too heavy since it was made of earth and not from wood. Could it be that is Momo? No. That can not be the case. There is only one white dot in its tail. I wrote to my notes that Momo had two dots in his tail.

No other lemur came to help it. It even seemed to be bullied by them. Suddenly all my kind feeling to them came to an end.

Stick was starting to sink which caused a small winged lemur to enter the water. This became dangerous because of the cold climate and the dangers of the sea. There was small water serpent swimming right toward it. I bent the stick and carried lemur on it back to ship. I used my towel to dry it up.

I had other reasons to do so. I was trying to figure out if its tail was covered with mud which was not the case. There is a change of fur color changing during growing up. I had not seen others as small as this one.

Good thing no one joked about eating it otherwise I might have lost it. It was strange that Oki was not making a joke about it. He must have felt my feeling to stay away. This does not explain why others are staying quiet.

Winged lemur went to sleep on my bed.

(Why are you staying quiet? This is not like you.) Shamo

(There was no choice. I have never seen you this angry before. I assumed you do not get angry or you are good at acting. This showed us that is not the case. Did you even notice what happened to that sea serpent?) Oki

(No. What happened to it? It became extremely scared and after you left it became sparkler-eyed. It became extremely tame afterward. It is behind that door.) Oki

I looked behind to door. What I saw was one curious serpent which was no way less than to those winged lemurs. Sea serpents in the avatar world are highly aggressive and powerful. They are natural catastrophes even greater than dragons. It is debatable but no way they are weaker than a dragon. Their special characteristic is unlimited growth. There have been stories of one which went around the globe. It was written that it was sent to the spirit world by one avatar in the past. It was even said in reincarnation journal.

It is kind of cute. No! It is not. It is trying to deceive us. It is not going to work. Stop! Do not feed it with mouses? They must be hopeless.

I am not an avatar. Why then do I meet two possible animal guides in a single day?

(We need to return it to the ocean.) Shamo

I was left unsaid why. It was obvious.

It did not seem bothered though. It was just friendlier than a normal one. It was under three meters long. It sounds large but it was thin. I doubt it could have eaten lemur. The Head is not big enough. Sea serpents grow extremely fast. It will be 10 meters, long giant, in 2 years. No one can say for certain how old it is.

I started my work after making a small break. To my surprise serpent seemed to guide me toward an easy way to enter. This might be its territory if this young can have one. It is making it difficult to leave him behind. I can not even feed him since tamed animals are both dangerous and easily make trouble. This might cause it to trust humans even though they would easily try to kill it.

I will leave it later.

I am going to look for air nomad temples. Getting there is easy since I am an earth bender. I will dig the stair tunnel through the rock.

(No one has been here in hundred years so there is a chance that there are survivors or dead bodies all around. If we see unburied bones then it is safe to assume there is no one here.) Oki

(Are we going to bury both fire nation and air nomads together?) Shamo

(We have no choice. We must bury them in the same place. I doubt they would like it but it has to be done.) Oki

(I am looking forward to seeing if air nomads had an army or was war an excuse. Two different sources tell a different story.) Shamo

(Quiet down. I do not care what you are going to do. You are going with two-guard. Do not try to escape or we will leave you behind.) Captain

I am going to make a point to him. I will close this tunnel until I arrive back. He must understand that he is under my control in here like it or not. They might not even notice anything. That is left to see.
