Cabbage Corp

Lau sits alone in his office at Cabbage Corp quietly staring at his desk with a solemn look on his face. "It won't be long now." He says as he closes his eyes and sighs heavily an unconscious tear rolling down his cheek.

He emits a loud clicking noise from his throat and his assistant walks into the office. Lau is still sitting back with his eyes closed. "Are the sentries gone?" He asks the man.

"Yes sir." His assistant says.

"Good, prepare an airship, we're going to the Southern Water Tribe. Contact Future Industries and tell Miss Sato that I'll be available to meet her whenever she's ready." Lau says as his assistant bows and leaves the office.

Wan Shi Tong's Library

Tenzin's oldest daughter and the newest airbending master spends a few hours every day in Wan Shi Tong's library at the request of the White Lotus. She is one of the few humans allowed in the library now. The master of the library had gone to great lengths to make sure that all the knowledge stored in his great conservatory was kept safe from anyone who would use its knowledge to cause harm whether they are human or spirit.

Fortunately the granddaughter of the avatar was known to be very pure of spirit and heart and was allowed entry after giving Wan Shi Tong some new knowledge.

"Master Wan Shi?" Jinora asks as she stares at the strange shapes on the ceiling in the great owl's study on the very top floor of the library. It was an ornate image filled with many different types of animals.

"Yes little airbender?" He asks.

Jinora flips through a very old book with a picture of two hairy looking strings imprinted on its cover as she puts it on the great owl's desk. "Is this really all the knowledge available on Koh? This doesn't seem right to me."

The large barn owl leans down and looks at the book then stands up straight. "Yes that is all the knowledge on the one called Koh." He says to her.

She takes a deep breath through her nose as she turns to the end of the book. "There has to be more. It just abruptly stops. It says that Koh tried to steal my grandpa's face after he got stuck in the spirit world after he was struck by Princess Azula's lightning. But that he didn't succeed…and…that's it. There's nothing else?"

The great owl lifts his chin and thinks. "That is correct. That is all the knowledge on the one called Koh."

Jinora scratches her head. "But how is that possible Master Wan Shi? The White Lotus have confirmed that Koh crossed over into the physical world and even has a human form. And from what they told me, based on their readings he crossed over many years ago. Why don't you know that?"

Wan Shi Tong leans over and looks into the young airbender's eyes. "I have no interest in the knowledge of the human world. I am he who knows 10,000 things. And what you hold in your hands is all of the knowledge on the spirit called Koh. I know of all the spirits who have crossed over into the physical world, the one you call Koh is not one of them." The great owl says as he turns and walks to a different area of his study.

The young airbender thinks as she follows him.

"What do you want now?" He asks noticing Jinora behind him as he moves two very large globes with wings.

Jinora furrows her brow. She had been listening intently to the great owl. She knew for sure that the White Lotus research was correct. Maybe she was asking the wrong questions. "Master Wan Shi you said you know of all the spirits who have crossed over right?"

"Yes that is correct." The great owl says as items continue to disappear into his wings.

"You said none of them are 'called' Koh?" She says.
