On the Avatar World, a man is walking out to the frozen tundra where the Northern Water tribe has their biggest city. He is bundled up for the cold weather with a fur overcoat and a face mask. He sees a group of seven buffalo yaks grazing on the parse vegetation there. This is his third try out here to expand his water bending abilities. The first two days were failures. He then received some guidance from several water benders within the city. He tells them nothing what his intentions are.
He comes to a stop and stares at one of the yaks. He concentrates his water bending ability upon the yak.
Then all of a sudden, the yak is very stiff. “GGRRRNNNNTTT!!!” His eyes are wide open in fear!!!
The man smiles an evil smirk underneath his face mask. The other yaks quickly run away. He lifts the buffalo yak about ten feet up in the air. He distorts the limbs of the yak in several unnatural positions. He then moves the buffalo yak around in the air with his mind. Once he is satisfied of his success, he lets go of the yak and lets it fall to the ground. “Thud!”
The man walks back to the city with an evil grin on his face.
The other six buffalo yaks walk back to check out their friend. They sense he is still alive.
Help us, Creator!! One of our friends is badly injured!! He won’t live through the day!!
I am sending help to you quickly. I’m having the Omega Unicorn Dragon brought here.
We remembered him. Thank you, Creator!
The buffalo yaks bring a sea prune to him. He slowly eats it. The other buffalo yaks keep guard around their friend.
A soldier is riding his yak to the scene. The other buffalo yaks make room for him. He gets down from his yak. He kneels down to determine the problem by placing his right hand on the yak.
“Oh my Creator. Who could have done such a thing?”
He hears his buffalo yak’s voice projected into his mind. He is waiting for the Omega Unicorn Dragon, Torin.
“I remember him when he was here a few years ago. But, first, we need to keep this buffalo yak warm. I’ll make an ice sled. We’ll take him to that hill rise over there.” He points to it. “Then I’ll construct an ice shed around all of us. Our body heat should be enough to keep him warm.”
The other buffalo yaks nod their heads up and down in agreement.
He quickly makes an ice sled underneath him. He brings out some rope from a saddle bag on his mount. He attaches it quickly to his mount and the ice sled. Torin mounts his ride. They all quickly arrive at the hill rise that is about a mile away. The buffalo yaks quickly lay on the ground around their injured friend. He quickly creates an ice shed around them. He leaves a low doorway opening so he can get out when he needs to. There is a small hole opening in the top of the shed. Slowly the temperature rises within the ice shed. Soon, everyone is conserving their energy. They hope the Omega Unicorn Dragon will arrive quickly.

King Kuei is sitting on his throne. A man is seen walking up quickly to him quickly. He bows to him, then stands back up.
“My king, there is something wrong with all of the animals.”
“What are the symptoms?”
“It is some sort of mental trauma. The animals are not eating properly. All of our pack animals are refusing to do their chores.”
“Have you figured out what this mental trauma is?”
“That’s the strange part about it. It seems they are waiting for someone to help them give a voice to be heard.”
“That is most unusual. Thank you for sending me your observations.”
“Your welcome, my king.” The man quickly bows down and stands back up. He turns around and leaves the throne room.
The king turns to his prime minister. “Who could they be waiting for, Prime Minister? Who would give them a voice to be heard?”
“I don’t know, my king.”
“Hmm . . . well, I’m going to Iroh’s Jasmine Dragon. I need some tea to calm down my nerves.”
“Yes, my King.”
King gets up from his throne. He is escorted by four guards around him. He eventually arrives at the Jasmine Dragon. He decides to stay there for about a half-hour. He slowly sips his two favorite hot teas. That would be jasmine and marjoram.

It is Saturday morning, we are all working together in the green house. We just purchased ten more potted flowers. That would be two pots of each variety, miniature red rose, white gardenia, gladiolus, azaleas and potmums. There is a broad spectrum of colors for all of them. Brianna and her four fairies are tending to Robert in his room.
We are arranging them on the shelves when all of a sudden we hear the Creator’s voice within our minds.
It is time to visit the Avatar World, my servants. The first stop is the frozen tundra on the north side of the great city there. You’ll be there for thirty minutes. After that, you’ll be visiting Toph in the Earth Kingdom. My Emissaries will be here to pick you up in thirty minutes. You’ll be there for four full days.
We look at each other. “Thirty minutes? Let’s get moving and packed up. Everyone is coming!”
“Yes, father, mother, Omega!”
I hear Brianna in my mind. Yes, my love!
We exit the green house and enter into the house. We quickly get to the second floor. We get our satchels packed up with what we need. The fairies quickly dismantle their shower set up and put it into their satchel. They also pack up their clothes into their cedar boxes.
Brianna and I quickly pack up our satchels as well. Brianna also packs up Robert’s satchel as well.
“You’re coming with us, Robert.”
Robert smiles.
She gets the portable baby carriage placed on the chair in his room. She takes Robert carefully out of his crib. She bundles him up with three blankets around him. There are still two blankets in his satchel. She puts a warm beanie cap on his head. She then carries the baby carriage down to the main floor.
I’m already down there packing up the food into our satchels. The fairies make sure their food bags are full as well. That even includes the honey squirt bottle and their own water skin container. The fairies also make sure the plastic bag is filled with packets of regular table sugar for emergencies.
I also make sure our two water skin containers are full as well. We then check to make sure the food bags and the water containers will be refilled by the magic within us.
I stretch out my arms. “Armor and both swords on!” My armor and both swords appear on me in a blink of an eye. The armor and swords are kept in our cabin in Mt. Blanc, NC.
I put on the outer clothes that was made in Twainor. Then I put on the multi-pocket coat. Brianna does the same thing as well. The fairies quickly fly into the coat pockets. Soon, their heart beats are in tune with us. We then put on the thick overcoats on us and button them. We put the satchels on our shoulders. Brianna is carrying portable baby seat in her hand.
Then Emissary appears right in front of us. “Are you all ready?”
“We are, sir. If we need anything else, I can bring it fourth there by magic.”
“Yes you can, Richard.”
Then a light appears on top of us. We all disappear in a blink of an eye. We appear on the Emissary’s star ship parked near. We see two more Emissaries on board their star ship.
“Welcome aboard, Richard. We are now flying to the Avatar World right now. We’ll be there in a couple of minutes.”
“The first thing you’ll do, Richard. Is to tend to a buffalo yak. He is severely injured by a blood bending attack. After you have taken care of him, then we’ll transport you back up here. Then we’ll drop you all off near Iroh’s tea shop called the The Jasmine Dragon.”
Brianna speaks up, “So that means I’m not needed with Richard to tend to the buffalo yak.”
“There is no need for that, Brianna. Richard and his fairies will take care of that.” He turns to Richard. “Richard, you’ll meet a familiar water bending soldier when you are down there. Tell him what he needs to know.”
Then we see the Avatar World come into view on the screen. “Are you ready, Richard?”
I put the warm face mask around my face. “I am, Emissaries.”
The push a button on the control panel. I immediately disappear in a blink of an eye.
~~~000~~~
I quickly appear on the frozen tundra of the Northern Water Tribe. I quickly look around. I see an ice shelter next to a hill rise. I walk toward it.
~~~000~~~
Immediately, the buffalo yaks pick up their heads. Torin sees their sudden interest.
Torin’s mount speaks to him in his mind. He’s here, Torin.
Thank you for the warning, friend.
They see a shadow near the small doorway. I bend down to look inside.
“Come on inside, Richard. There is plenty of room. My name is Torin.”
I get down on my hands and knees and crawl through the opening. I feel it is very warm in here. I see six buffalo yaks in a circle around the injured buffalo yak. Torin and his buffalo yak are sitting down next to them.
“What happened here, Torin?”
“The one in middle over there suffered a terrible mind onslaught. That is all I know, Richard. They are waiting for you to show up. Can you help him out?”
“I should be able to, Torin.” I crawl my way to injured buffalo yak. I place my hands on him. “He’s still with us, Torin. I sensing his joints are stressed into unnatural positions.” I concentrate on my hands. I bring in the water from the air around us to my hands. As soon as there is water around my hands, I make them glow with a bright light.
Soon, the healing technique is brought to his body.
“Fairies, tend to his joints, they are still stressed.”
“Yes, father, mother, Omega.”
Then they fly out of my over coat. Each one lands near a stressed joint. They put their hands onto the joints. They quickly gather water from the moisture around us. They concentrate on their hands to glow with a bright light. Soon, the joints straighten out their original position.
Soon, we feel his heart beating faster. His body begins to warm up. He lifts his head toward me. Thank you, Omega Unicorn Dragon. Thank you for coming to save me. Here is the picture of the one whom did this to me.
He sends me a mental image into my mind. I see his evil smile in my mind. I don’t hear a name from the buffalo yak.
I quickly look at Torin. “He just gave me a mental image of his attacker. There is no name given, Torin. I’m sorry.”
“Hmm . . . It could be anyone who came here recently.”
“I don’t know what his intentions are. More than likely, he used blood bending on the buffalo yak here.”
“Blood bending? That’s a bad skill to have. Now we really need to keep a close eye on anyone here.”
“Well, it is time for me to go. I am going to see Toph in the Earth Kingdom. It is time for me to learn the details of Earth Bending from her. I just earned the fifth black sash of ten for the Shaolin Dragon Master.”
“That’s impressive, Richard. From what I saw the last time you were here, you should have no problems in learning those details, Richard.”
“Thank you, Torin.”
“Are you going to stop by here after you learn those earth bending techniques?”
“I was told my family we’ll be here for four full days. So, it remains to be seen if I have time for another visit.”
“Well, you are welcomed back anytime, Richard. I’ll let the council know what happened out here.”
Quickly, my fairies fly back into the warm over coat and into the coat pockets. They recite a warm spell on their clothes to warm themselves up.
Torin and I move our face masks onto our faces. We both crawl out together. Torin then breaks apart the ice shelter and leaves the pieces on the ground nearby.
The buffalo yaks all get up and get close to me. I hug their necks as they press around me. Thank you for being here, Omega Unicorn Dragon. We’ll tell the rest of the animal life here that they can relax for now.
You’re welcome, buffalo yaks.
Torin smiles when he sees that greeting among us. Then the seven buffalo yaks run away from us as a group. Torin mounts his own buffalo yak. They both look at us.
I quickly disappear from them in a blink of an eye.
Torin then turns his buffalo yak toward the great Northern Water City. They trot an easy pace.
~~~000~~~
I appear on the Emissary’s star ship. “Well done, Richard. They will keep a watchful eye on anyone who can do blood bending here.”
“We’ll now set your family down near Iroh’s tea shop.”
Brianna and I hold our hands together. A button is pushed on the panel. We all disappear in a blink of an eye. We are in the same alley way were we appeared the first time. We unbutton our over coats. It is now warmer here than the frozen tundra of the Northern Water Tribe.
We encounter some pack animals along the way. We acknowledge each other with our minds. Soon, they are more relaxed when they hear the good report I did in saving the buffalo yak on the frozen tundra.
We see Iroh’s tea shop on the left hand side, The Jasmine Dragon. We walk up the stairs and step through the front doors. We see Iroh standing behind the front desk. He smiles when he sees us.
“Richard and Brianna! It’s good to see you both. Come, let’s have some hot tea.”
Then Robert laughs a bit with a smile.
“What’s this, you are with child? That’s wonderful. Come in and relax. How many days are you here for?”
“We are here for at least four days, Iroh. I’m here to learn the details of the Earth Bending from Toph.”
“That’s great, Richard. Come!”
We follow Iroh into a private sitting area. We see King Kuei looking out the window at the oriental garden. He turns to see whom Iroh brought with them.
“I remember you. Your names are Richard and Brianna. Why are you here?”
“I’m here to learn the finer details of Earth Bending from Toph. I have earned the fifth black sash of ten for the Shaolin Dragon Master title. We are here for at least four days, King Kuei.”
“That’s great, Richard. Please sit with me. There are some things we need to talk about for the moment.”
“Thank you, King Kuei.”
We sit down at another table near King Kuei’s table. We look at Iroh. “Two cups of hot jasmine and marjoram for the both of us, Iroh. Preferably one at a time.”
Iroh smiles from the order we gave him, “Of course, Richard.” Iroh turns around to retrieve the hot teas from the kitchen.
I set our satchels on the floor near us. I put the fairies satchel on another chair. They quickly fly out of our coat pockets. They open their satchel. They bring out their small cups and create their own warm cups of honey-water.
King Kuei smiles when he sees the fairies doing that.
