Honored Professor,
You will be happy to know that excavation of the Shu Jing site continues apace. We have uncovered a forge, a White Lotus mosaic courtyard, and several fine Lion-Turtle sculptures. Most exciting of all, we have uncovered a trove of scrolls, apparently field reports from the Order of the White Lotus. This is a most exciting find, as it not only proves the Order was active before the time of Avatar Korra, but also lends great credence to your hypothesis that the Order was active in shaping the events that led to the end of the legendary 100 year war.
Respectfully,
Kattan
Graduate Assistant

Submitting Agent : REDACTED
Priority: FLASH
Dissemination: All Agents, Accepted Journeyman and Above
Subject: Avatar Return Confirmed
Summary: Avatar sighted vicinity Southern Water Tribe. He appears to be male, approximately 12 years of age, shaved head with distinctive Air Bending Master tattoos. Last seen traveling north with two Southern Water Tribe youths, a male and female, riding a Flying Bison. Agent witnessed impressive display of power from the young Airbender, who singlehandedly engaged in combat with several trained firebenders, including Fire Nation Crown Prince. Female youth traveling with Avatar demonstrated affinity for water bending, but this agent believes she may lack any formal training. Male youth demonstrated courage, and some skill with primitive weaponry, but is otherwise unremarkable.
Analysis: The Avatar seems to have mastered only air bending, therefore his most likely course of action is that he will travel to the Northern Water Tribe to seek out a water bending master to teach him the next element in the cycle. Currently, the only people aware of the Avatar's return are the people of the Southern Water Tribe village and the crew of Prince Zuko's vessel. It is unlikely that the secret will be kept long, therefore expect the Fire Nation to expend considerable resources to capture the Avatar, in order to prevent him from mastering the other elements.
Further Instructions: All agents are advised to be on the lookout for the Avatar and party, and render whatever assistance deemed necessary. Closely observe Avatar's companions as well. The female youth demonstrated great water bending affinity and my be a future Order recruit if she is able to master the element. Immediately forward any sighting report to Master REDACTED using subject line: AVATAR CONTACT REPORT, Priority FLASH.
