It was not completely clear to me how I ended up in prison, but there I was, together with new and old friends. Luckily our stay in the local prison did not last long, as a man by the name of Long Feng came to us to offer us a job. The reward for the job was of course our freedom, so we promptly accepted.
Our task was to travel to the village of Haspen, and pick up a woman by the name of Onomu, a general of the Fire Nation who was willing to defect. We met her just outside of the village, but apparently we were not the only ones looking for her. The Armadillo Bears, a band of Earth Kingdom rebels, were also on the hunt for her. A short talk with our big friend Yama Ya dissuaded them from pressing the matter further, and we went on our way.
During the travel we got a chance to better understand Onomu's motives. The woman is still kind of a mystery, since she sounds still loyal to the Fire Nation as an idea, but not to its leaders.
We stopped at the village of West Heyatu, and we decided to rest at the Steeping Phoenix tea-room, managed by the talkative Haino Wu. When we arrived we noticed a band of Fire Nation soldiers pushing all the clients out of the tea-room. We found out that Wu had been "patriotically" overcharging the soldiers, and they were out to get some payback.
With a ready smile and some strong beverages, we persuaded the soldier to allow the tea-room to accept guests again, and we even had some fun at the soldiers' expenses. Alas, I think that they were not completely unaware of our mocking ways, and by the end of the evening, we had to leave with the promise of never being back again. Well, that wasn't too bad, since the day after we left the village, looking forward to our next stop: the So Bai oasis.
