That moment when you're watching a movie and one of the actor's says the title...yeah...I'm giggling.

Alright...here we go, just enjoy the ride. More to come.

The next day...

Air Temple Island

White Lotus Sentry Quarters

Lotus guards surround the small building as Jinora meets with Katara and her assistant. The young airbender returned from the spirit world to let her grandmother and the White Lotus know what she found out about Koh.

"Gran Gran if what I read is accurate he shouldn't be in our world. Gran, Koh isn't just an earth spirit, he's THE Earth spirit, he's an essence. Essences make up our world. There's some sort of time limit on how long they can stay in the physical world. They can only visit our world once every 50 years and only for 5 weeks at a time. After that something happens to them. That's another thing that I don't understand. The Lotus said that he's been here for over 70 years. That shouldn't be possible." Jinora says.

"What else have you found?" Katara asks her.

"Koh is the name he gave himself but his original name is Tsuchi and he steals faces because of the water essence, but I don't know why." She says sorrowfully. "And I can't ask the master of the library anything for another week or so, time works differently in the spirit world."

Katara covers her granddaughter's hand with her own. "Jinora I know this is going to be difficult, but we have to get more information."

The young airbender shakes her head no apprehensively. "Gran Gran if I break Master Wan Shi's rules I'll be barred from the library. I'm the only one allowed in all areas. The two White Lotus members only have access to the main hall."

"You have to try sweetie, please. The master of the library is very fond of you; he may make an exception, especially considering what's happening in the spirit world right now." Katara pleads.

Jinora takes a deep apprehensive breath. "But what else is there Gran Gran? I mean Koh "is" the Earth, what can we do to stop him?" She asks.

Katara thinks for a moment. "Aang told me that there is always a balance and that all spirits have a counterpart. One can't exist without the other, like Raava and Vaatu and the moon and ocean spirits Tui and La. If we can find Koh's counterpart, maybe they can stop him."

The young airbender raises her eyebrows as a thought pops into her mind. "The Water Essence! It's probably the water essence. There are six of them, earth, air, fire, water, spirit and something called matter."

The old waterbender furrows her eyebrows. "Six?"

Jinora nods excitedly. "Yeah Gran, it's amazing. Did you know that spirits called Cosmic Mothers created our whole world? Koh's, I mean Tsuchi's mom is the Mother of Faces and her power is to bring identity and separation into the different worlds. I also found out there are 9 other worlds besides ours. And our world is the 5th closest to the sun and...."

"One moment dear, did you say the Mother of Faces? Aang and I met that spirit when we were searching for Zuko's mother. I'd forgotten about that." The old waterbender thinks for a minute. "Alright dear here is what we are going to do. You head back to the library and see what you can find out about Koh's counterpart, we don't know that it's the Water Essence, but it does make sense." She says thinking back to the fight she and Toph had with Koh. The spirit water did seem to affect him.

"If you find anything..." The old waterbender taps the arrow on her granddaughter's head. "You contact me right away. I'm going to see if I can find Koh's mother. She may be able to do something about this or at the very least give us more information." Katara says as she stands to her feet. "Jinora, talk to the master of the library and see if he will help you."
