Eret woke up, and a nice peaceful morning in their new apartment in the upper ring. He exited his bedroom and found that Bjorn was starting to cook them breakfast.
"What's that smell?" Eret asked.
"It's porridge, but I'm sure you will like it," said Bjorn.
Eret then immediately made his way over towards the bowl and gave it a sniff. "Actually, it smells delicious," he said as he grabbed the bowl and presented it his uncle. "I would love a bowl uncle."
Bjorn looked at him curiously as he kept on staring the ladle. "Now that your fever is gone you seem different somehow," he noted as he put a ladleful of porridge to his bowl.
"It's a new day, we've got a new apartment, new furniture and the days the grand opening of your new tea shop," said Eret as he sat down on one of their new chairs. "Things are looking up uncle."
Bjorn was surprised with this new change in attitude, but the smile then appeared on his face.
Meanwhile Heather and the twins had separated from Hiccup and the others were making their way down to Chameleon Bay. They could already see several Water Tribe vessels on the beach they then flew down towards it.
"We haven't seen our Dads in over two years," said Heather, who was feeling butterflies in her stomach. "I'm a little nervous."
"Same here," said Tuffnut placed a hand over his stomach. "I'm getting stomach cramps."
"We could always just fire over cause a few explosions to get their attention," Ruffnut suggested.
"Can we do that?" Tuffnut asked looking at Heather.
"No," she said bluntly.
"She's no fun," said Ruffnut shaking her head in disappointment.
"No one can truly understand the nut," Tuffnut nodded.
They soon landed on the beach and immediately the warriors got up and stared at them as they dismounted their dragons. Nervously Heather and the twins too make their way into the camp and the warriors immediately approached them.
"Heather, you grow more beautiful than ever!"
"The twins haven't changed at all!"
The warriors then parted towards the tent and they knew that their fathers were inside. They soon entered inside and found not only their dads, but to the great surprise Dagur as well.
Vorg was the first one to see them, his right arm was no longer bandage and they could see the burn marks. He then immediately nudged the muscular man at the head of the tent, Heather's father, Oswald the Agreeable.
Oswald looked up and his eyes immediately fell upon Heather. "Heather."
Tears began to form in Heather's eyes. "Hi, Dad."
Immediately both father and daughter embraced and Dagur rushed over to do the same. A tall lanky blonde man then approached the twins and hugged them as he was their father.
Meanwhile the Earth King was in his throne room with Devi and her friends, who were disguised as Defenders of the Wing. The Earth King honestly had no idea of this he was in hiding any secrets from them.
"I'm very grateful that you are here to protect me and my daughter," said the Earth King. He then leaned back on his throne. "It has been a difficult week for me, my most trusted adviser, Chancellor Lambert, and his Jade Viper agents tried to take control over Meridian."
"It's terrible when you can't trust the people that are closest to you," said Devi.
The Earth King nodded. "But there is good news, as we speak the Council of Five is meeting to plan an invasion of the Empire this summer. On the day of the solar eclipse."
Devi's eyes widened, but she maintained her composure. "Really, now that sounds like a fascinating and brilliant plan."
Astrid was currently with the Council of Five as they began to discuss tactics for the invasion.
"General Han base will serve the launching point for the attack," said General Rendon. He then used his Earthbending to move the pieces. "In exactly 2 months the army and navy will invade the Empire."
Astrid nodded. "I have sent a message to the resistance, I'm confident that they will get civilians out of the buildings before the invasion starts. If so we won't have to worry about collateral damage."
Rendon nodded. "That will certainly make our job far easier and of course we will need your knowledge of the Empire in order for this invasion to succeed."
Astrid nodded. "I'll tell you everything I know."
"Then the only thing we need now is the Earth King's seal in order to execute the plan," said Rendon as he pulled out a scroll.
He then places on the table and used his Earthbending to move a slab towards Astrid who immediately grabbed the scroll.
"I will get the scroll to him right away, thank you general," Astrid saluted.
Meanwhile the sun was setting and Hiccup, Ragnar and Fishlegs were now approaching the Eastern Air Temple. When there were close enough they could see a man meditating in the meditation area and so they landed.
"Are you Druid Eadric?" Hiccup asked as they dismounted their dragons. They then began to climb the stairs up towards him. "The one that tired and that message to Toothless' leg?"
"Indeed," Eadric nodded and then turned to Ragnar. "I was a spiritual brother of your people and a personal friend to your mother."
Ragnar was taken aback by this. "In your node you said that you could teach Hiccup how to gain control of the Avatar State. How can you do this?" he asked as they sat cross-legged in front of him.
"First he must again balance within himself," Eadric informed them and then turned his attention onto Hiccup, "before you can bring balance to the world. Your friends are free to join in this journey and the first step to gain balance begins with this."
He then pulled out three bowls, indicating that he was expecting the three of them.
"Drink up," he said.
The three boys grabbed the bowls and looked at the contents. They shrugged and immediately drank it, but almost instantly spat it back out.
"It tastes like onions and banana juice," said Fishlegs fighting the urge of throwing up.
"That's because it is," said Eadric cheerfully as he drank a bowl of his own. "Yum Yum."
Ragnar looked at the others. "This is going to be a long session."
The two boys couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Meanwhile unbeknownst to anyone, Balder and Ward were dragging the metal cage containing Snotlout as a prisoner to Icarus.
"I believe we need to go right," said Ward when they turned writer a crossroad.
"What are you talking about?" said Balder as they came to a stop. "The Icarus Estate is this way."
"I'm quite certain you're mistaken," said Ward.
Snotlout banged on his cage. "Hey, can you muttonheads with your bickering for a second. I need to go to the bathroom."
"Oh… uh," said Ward looking slightly uneasy and immediately pulled out a key. "Okay, that make it quick."
Ward was about to go round back to open the cage, but Balder stopped him.
"What's wrong with you?" he said.
Ward then realised he was almost tricked into freeing their captive. "Oh, very sneaky Lord Snotlout. Nice try, but you can't trick me."
"Let me out of here!" Snotlout roared banging on the cage. "So I can get both your butts!"
"Quit you're banging," said Balder slamming his fist on the cage. "You might think you're the greatest Earthbender in the world, but even you can't bend metal."
With that they began carrying on down the road, but Balder had given Snotlout a crazy idea and it was possibly his only chance to escape. He then placed a hand on his cage and began to concentrate.
Meanwhile Devi and her friends had been given a house by the Earth King in the upper ring.
"We have been presented with an extraordinary opportunity girls," said Devi as she began to pace up and down.
"You mean May dressing up in something that completely depressing?" Talia asked.
May narrowed her eyes at her. "Ha-ha."
"I'm talking about conquering the whole Earth Kingdom," said Devi as she looked outside the window.
May and Talia immediately stared at her.
"For 20 years, the Empire has hammered away at Meridian from the outside, but now we are in the inside and we can take it by ourselves," Devi smiled.
"Gosh, you're so confident," said Talia. "I really admire that about you."
"From the inside we are in a perfect position to organise a coup and overthrow the Earth King," said Devi. "The key is the Jade Vipers, whoever controls the Jade Vipers controls Meridian."
It was late at night as the Eastern Air Temple and Eadric was beginning to explain to Hiccup and the others what his training consisted of. They were standing at a small creek which was filled with muck and Hiccup and the others were extremely tired as it was so late and were wearing nothing but their trousers.
"In order to master the Avatar State, you must open all your Chakras," Eardic instructed.
"What are Chakras?" Fishlegs asked frowning.
"From what I understand the yard some sort of points in the body where energy lies?" said Ragnar scratch in the back of his head.
"Close," Eardic smiled and then turns attention onto this creek and began to move the muck with his stick. "The water in this creek flows much like the energy in your body. As you see there are several pores where the water swirls around before flowing off. These pools are like our Chakras."
"So Chakras are pools of spiralling energy in our bodies?" Hiccup concluded.
"Exactly," Eardic nodded. "If nothing else was around, this creek would flow pure and clear. However, life is messy and things tend to fall in the creek and then what happens?"
"The creek can't flow?" said Ragnar.
"Yes, but if we open the paths between the pools?" said Eardic as he removed some muck from one of the entrances of the pools…
Immediately water began pouring out of the pools and flowed down the creek taking the muck with it and the water became clearer.
"The energy flows," Hiccup finished as he watched the water flowing down the creek.
Soon they were in one of the dark caves beneath the temple and Eardic was beginning to teach Hiccup and opened his first Chakra. Ragnar and Fishlegs with air as well, remaining quiet and only observing.
"There are seven Chakras that go up the body, each pool of energy has a purpose and can be blocked by a specific kind of emotional muck," Eardic explained. "Be warned, opening the Chakras is an intense experience and once you begin this process you cannot stop until all seven are open. Are you ready?"
Hiccup took a deep breath. "I'll do whatever it takes."
"First we will open the Earth Chakra, located at the base of the spine, it deals with survival and is blocked fear," said Eardic. "What are you most afraid of? Let your fears become clear to you."
Began to concentrate on the specific Chakra and images began to flow into his head of his near death experiences and that of his friends. Then suddenly appearing in front of him was a man in the flames and Hiccup realised immediately that it was Drago and panicked.
"Hiccup, your vision is not real," said Eardic's voice. "You are concerned with your survival, but you must surrender those fears. Let your fears flow down the creek."
Hiccup then immediately relaxed and swallowed his fear and immediately his image vanished as quickly as it appeared.
"You have opened your Earth Charka," said Eardic proudly.
Hiccup however was sweating.
Fishlegs looked at Ragnar concerned. "That was only the first one and he's already sweating."
Ragnar grimaced. "He did say was going to be in an intense experience, but Hiccup has no choice but to keep on going."
Soon they made their way to the falls and could hear the thunder of the waterfalls.
"Next is the…" Eardic began.
"Water Charka?" Ragnar assumed gesturing to the water behind them.
"Brilliant?" Eardic said cheerfully looking at Ragnar. "Maybe one day you will be Druid too." He then focuses attention back onto Hiccup and looked serious. "This Charka deals with pleasure and is blocked by guilt. Now look at all the Guild that burdens you so. What do you blame yourself for?"
Hiccup immediately concentrated, but the answer came very quickly to him. The image of him realising the fall of his father and knowing that he could have helped.
"I could have helped," said Hiccup.
Then images of him in the Avatar State unleashing his power on General Han and his men.
"I hurt all of those people."
"Except the reality that these things happen, but do not let them cloud and poison your energy. If you are to be a positive influence on the world, you need to forgive yourself," Eardic guided.
Hiccup immediately took a deep breath and accepted his guilt and forgave himself.
Meanwhile Chameleon Bay, Oswald was explaining to heaven the twins what their intentions were. They were sitting beside Oswald as he began to fumble with containers and watched as several men voted them onto the boats.
"This Bay leads directly to the outskirts of Meridian, we have been using these tangle minds to stop Empire ships from getting through," Oswald explained.
"Me and dad came up with the idea ourselves," Dagur smiled as he began pouring some sort of ooze into the mines.
The twins immediately began to examine.
"Destructive," said Ruffnut.
"Buoyant," said Tuffnut.
"And…" said Ruffnut as she stepped the contents, "terrible smelling."
Oswald chuckled. "Very perspective. Your father came up with the concoction himself, the mines are filled with rotten fish and seaweed. When a ship detonates the mine, the seaway tangles at the propeller and the foul smell forces people to abandon ship."
Then began pushing the cork on top of the mine and scraped the ooze that poor out of it with his blade.
"I call it the stink and sink," said the twins father as he approached them.
The twins laughed along with their father.
"Good one, Dad," they laughed.
Vorg ground as he helped pouring the contents into the mines. "You're definitely your father's children."
"Oswald," said one of the men rushing over towards them. "Our scouts have spotted four Empire ships."
Oswald immediately got to his feet. "Vorg get these mines loaded up. The rest of you men prepare for battle."
Immediately the men began to rush towards the ships, but Heather and the twins looked at him.
"And what should we do, Dad?" Heather asked.
Oswald smiled. "I could use some extra hands and a Master Waterbend on board my vessel."
Heather and the twins got their feet and nodded and made their way over towards Oswald's ship.
Meanwhile in the upper ring in Meridian, it was the grand opening of Bjorn's new tea shop, the Jasmine Dragon.
"Who thought when we came this city as refugees that I end up owning my own tea shop," said Bjorn as he looked as customers entered and took their seats and serving men presenting them with their drinks. "Follow your passion, Eret and life will reward you."
Eret smiled at him. "Congratulations Uncle."
"I'm very thankful," Bjorn nodded.
"You deserve it, the Jasmine Dragon will be the best tea shop in the city."
Bjorn shook his head. "No, I'm thankful because you decided to share this special day with me. It means more than you know."
Soon the two of them embraced one another.
"Now let's make these people some tea," said Eret.
"Yes," Bjorn nodded in quickly rushed over to the kitchen. "Let's make some tea!"
Meanwhile Hiccup and the others were still with Eardic as they began to open the third Charka. They were currently sitting on some stairs that led to the temple and looked on towards the sunrise.
"The third is the Fire Charka, located in the stomach," said Eardic.
"My Fire Charka would like to eat something other than onion and banana juice," said Hiccup rubbing his stomach.
Ragnar and Fishlegs the same.
"Yeah, if we're not careful we'll burp a fireball," Ragnar nodded.
Eardic chuckled. "Good one. Moving on." They then maintained their meditation state. "This Charka deals with willpower and is blocked by shame. What are you ashamed of? What are your biggest disappointments in yourself?"
Hiccup knew that answer instantly as he began to remember the incident that caused him to fire lightning at Heather.
"I'll never wield lightning again," he said.
Ragnar looked at him. "That was hardly your fault, Snotlout was the one who created the earthquake that made you lose balance."
Fishlegs nodded. "You shouldn't be ashamed about that, it was unavoidable."
"You should listen to your friends," Eardic nodded. "You will never find balance if you deny this part of your life."
Hiccup then took a deep breath as he came to realise that the entire ordeal was unavoidable.
Ragnar looked at Hiccup. "Think that you can wield lightning again?"
Hiccup frowned. "I don't know, but what I do know is that the incident was not my fault."
Meanwhile at the Palace in Meridian, May and Talia were sitting outside on the large steps. Secretly and without them knowing watching them what the Jade Vipers.
"I'm tired of wearing this getup," she said gesturing to the leather garments. "I don't understand how you can fight in this?"
"Maybe that's why it was so easy beating the Defenders of the Wing and take their clothes," said Talia.
"How much longer do we have to serve the Earth King? I know it supposed to be a great honour and all, but we are not even from his kingdom."
"Princess Devi promised that we would go back to the Empire as soon as we capture the Avatar," said Talia as she leaned back so much that I hands were touching the ground. "We just have to be patient."
"Shut up," May snapped. "You want the whole palace to know that we are from the Empire?"
"Sorry," said Talia apologetically.
The Jade Vipers smiled and immediately scurried off and then emerging from behind one of the pillars was Devi. The Jade Vipers had no idea they themselves had been watched and that the entire conversation had been staged.
"Good work girls," she smiled. "I'm sure the Jade Vipers will deliver the message."
Meanwhile back at the Eastern Air Temple, Eardic took them to the entrance of the Air Temple.
"The fourth Charka is the Air Charka and is located in the centre of the heart," Eardic explained. "It deals with love and is blocked by grief. Lay all of your grief out in front of you."
Hiccup then concentrated and soon found himself in a valley, the same one where he played with his parents when he was just a child. Suddenly appearing in front of him was his father and Hiccup just stared at him, but then he disappeared in a burst of flames. Hiccup tried to reach out for him but he felt himself being drifted away and no matter how he tried he could not get closer.
"You have indeed felt a great loss," said Eardic's voice. "But love is a form of energy and it swirls all around us." The flames that were produced by Stoick then surrounded Hiccup lifting him up into the air. "Your father's love for you has not left this world, it is still inside of your heart and is born in the form of new love."
Then suddenly the smoke began to take the form of Astrid.
"Let the pain flow away," Eardic instructed.
Hiccup was now in tears and then he began brushing them off.
Eardic nodded. "Very good."
They then made their way inside the temple where they were looking down at a large statue of an Air Nomad.
"The fifth in the chain is the Sound Charka, located in the throat," Eardic informed him. "It deals with truth and is blocked by lies. The ones that we tell ourselves."
Hiccup's mind turned when Astrid and the others kept on asking whether you was okay. The truth of the matter was he was never okay, he just put on a strong face because he knew that he had to stay strong for them.
Eardic looked as if he could read his mind. "You cannot lie about your own nature, while you are the Avatar that is not mean that you can hide things from your friends. Telling them how you feel can strengthen you and face the dangers that you have yet to face."
Hiccup then took a deep breath and saw himself standing there with his friends ready to face the danger ahead on.
"Very good, Hiccup," Eardic smiled. "You have opened the Charka of Truth."
Fishlegs looked at Hiccup. "You mean that you were never fine all the times we asked?"
Hiccup looked at him ashamed. "Yes, I know that if I fail then the whole world will fall. How can you live like that?"
"By telling your friends and allowing them to share your burden," said Ragnar. "You don't carry this burden alone, every single one of us would do whatever it takes to bring balance."
They then soon made their way onto the stairs that led to the tallest tower of the temple and there they saw the setting sun.
"The sixth pool of energy is the Light Charka, located in the centre of the forehead," Eardic instructed. "It deals with insight and is blocked by illusion. The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation. Things that you think are separate and different, are actually one and the same."
"Like the four nations," said Hiccup.
"Yes," Eardic nodded. "We are all one people, but we live as if divided."
"We are all connected," said Ragnar remembering what they learned of the swamp. "Everything is connected."
"That's right," Eardic nodded. "Even the separation of the four elements is an illusion. If you open your mind, you will see that all of the elements are one. All part of the same whole, even metal is just a part of Earth that has been purified and refined."
Meanwhile Snotlout were still trapped in the cage as Ward and Balder making their way to Icarus' is a state. Snotlout began thrashing his hands into the metal and concentrated on the minerals inside of the metal.
Snotlout smiled as he could sense the earth was in the metal and put everything he had into moving it. He took a deep breath and put all his strength forwards.
"Come on metal, bunch," he said as he retracted his wrists.
He then slammed into the metal once again and this time created a powerful dent.
"Snotlout, Snotlout! Oi, oi, oi!" Snotlout cheered.
Meanwhile Astrid had found a new teashop called the Jasmine Dragon and judging from the people that were entering inside of it was quite popular. She could feel that she was firstly decided it couldn't hurt to have a quick drink and started to make a way to the entrance.
"They were the one please," she said to the waitresses.
"Uncle, I need to Jasmine, one Green and one Litchi," a familiar voice called.
Astrid immediately recognised the voice and turned to find Eret and it wasn't only him, but Bjorn as well.
"I'm growing as fast as I can," Bjorn called.
Astrid immediately backed away from the tea shop in quickly made her way to the Palace as quickly as she could.
Meanwhile Eardic had taken Hiccup and the others to the very top of the temple, it was now dark and they were beginning work on the final Charka.
"This is the final Charka, isn't it?" Hiccup asked.
"Yes," Eardic nodded. "Once you open this Charka, you will be able to go in and out of the Avatar State at will. And when you are in the Avatar State, you will have complete control and awareness of all of your actions."
"Let's do this," said Hiccup.
"The Thought Charka, is located at the crown of the head. It deals with pure cosmic energy and is blocked by earthly attachment," Eardic explained. "Meditate on what attaches you to this world."
That was easy enough, it was Astrid and memories of her began to flow into his mind.
"Now let all of those attachments go… let them flow down the river forgotten," Eardic instructed.
Hiccup immediately broke his concentration and stared at him. "What? Why would I let go of…" He stopped remembering that Ragnar and Fishlegs were there with them, "someone I'd like. I care a great deal about them."
"You have to learn to let her go," said Eardic with a knowing eye. "Or you cannot let the pure cosmic energy flow in from the universe. Why would I choose cosmic energy over the people I care about? How is it a bad feeling that I feel I attachment? Three Charka's ago that was a good thing."
"You must learn to let go," said Eardic.
Hiccup looked very unsure and Ragnar and Fishlegs looked at one another slightly concerned.
Meanwhile Astrid was rushing to the Palace as quickly as she could and that's where she found the Defenders of the Wing.
"Thank goodness you're here, Mala," Astrid panted. "The Empire has infiltrated the city I have just seen Eret and his uncle. We have to tell the Earth King right away!"
Devi smiled upon hearing about Eret and then stepped out of the shadows. "Oh, don't worry. I'll be sure to let him know."
Heather's eyes widened when she realised that it was Devi and her two friends. Then before she could make a single move Talia somersaulted towards her pressed her hand on her shoulder. Immediately her body went numb and she collapsed to the ground and was unable to move a single inch.
"So Eret is in the city too," said Devi as she and her friends looked down at Astrid. "I think it's time we organise a get-together."
Meanwhile Hiccup was stubbornly refusing to unlock the final Charka.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let go of my feelings," said Hiccup.
"Hiccup, to master the Avatar State you must open all of the Charkas. Surrender yourself," said Eardic.
Hiccup took a deep breath. "Okay, I'll try."
He then began to concentrate and immediately an image of the road appeared in his head and Astrid was drifting down it.
"Now think of your attachments and let them go," said Eardic. "Let the pure cosmic energy flow."
Hiccup then suddenly found himself looking down at the world and he was standing on a pathway that led to a giant shadow of himself with light glowing eyes. He then began to walk down the pathway and the shadowy figure of himself lowered itself onto the path. Its hands were spread far apart and bakes world energy began to appear between them.
Hiccup felt the energy flowing into him, but then suddenly he heard a cry and recognise it as the voice of Astrid. Suddenly a vision of Astrid in chains appeared in front of him, she was struggling to break free, but nothing she did worked.
"Let me go!" she yelled.
Hiccup then made a snap decision and immediately left the ball of energy. The result cause the shadow figure to disappear and to the path where he was walking on disappeared as well. The moment it disappeared from beneath his feet he found himself falling down back towards the planet.
Hiccup immediately opened his eyes and looked to the others. "Astrid is in trouble! We need to go!"
Ragnar and Fishlegs' eyes widened as they quickly got to their feet followed him.
"No, Hiccup!" Eardic yelled following them. "By choosing attachment you have locked the Charka, if you leave now you won't be able to go into the Avatar State at all!"
Hiccup just stood there and Ragnar and Fishlegs looked at him. He then immediately jumped off the roof and they quickly followed him.
Eardic then closed his eyes and watched as he saw Hiccup and the others riding their dragons away from the temple.
At the same time, Ward and Balder was still making their way down the pathway when they suddenly heard a tearing sound. Balder immediately pulled the reins stopping the horse and immediately made their way to the back of the card when they found a large gaping hole in the cage and Snotlout was nowhere to be seen.
"It's another one of his tricks," said Ward.
Balder looked at him. "There's a giant hole in the box! How is that a trick?"
"It's not," said a voice. Immediately the two of them turned and saw Snotlout standing there. "It's the real deal."
He then lifted his arms upwards raising columns of earth on the ground and immediately pinned the two bounty hunters together. He immediately jumped, having his back face towards them and thrusted his hands backwards, causing a chunk of earth to push them right into the cage. Then before they could get out he propelled himself forwards and used his new Metalbending technique to seal them inside.
He then jumped on top of the cage. "I am the greatest Earthbender in the world! Don't you two muttonhead's forget it!" he said slamming his foot on top of the cage.
He then jumped onto the ground and had the earth him forwards and quickly made his way back towards Meridian.
This left Ward and Balder in the most embarrassing position one could imagine.
"I'm going to be stuck in here with you forever, aren't I?" said Balder.
"I have to go to the bathroom," said Ward.
Balder then slammed his head on the cage.
Meanwhile at Chameleon Bay, Heather and the twins were starting to board Oswald's ship.
"You three ready to take Empire heads?" Oswald asked as he approached them.
Heather looked at him. "We're ready whenever you are."
Oswald looked at his daughter and smiled. "I could not be any more prouder and I knew you had what it took to become a Master Waterbender."
Heather looked at him. "Really?"
"I knew it the first time I saw you bend water," Oswald smiled.
There were about to board the ship when suddenly they heard several dragons landing on the bay. The three of them looked at the panicked faces on Hiccup, Ragnar and Fishlegs they realise that something was wrong.
"This can't be good news," said Heather.
Heather and the twins immediately mounted their dragons, leaving behind their fathers and Dagur and followed Hiccup and the others back towards Meridian.
Meanwhile Devi have been apprehended by the Jade Vipers and were making their way to Lamberts' cell.
"What is this about?" she snapped. "Your agent show up in the middle of the night and drag me down here? You were not treated Defender of the Wing this way!"
Lambert merely smiled. "But you are not a Defender of the Wing, are you? Princess Devi of the Fire Empire."
"What do you want?" Devi asked.
"I want to make a deal," said Lambert simply. "It's time that I regained control over Meridian and you have something that I need."
Devi looked at him. "Oh?"
"The Earth King's trust," Lambert explained.
"Why should I help you?" Devi asked.
Lambert approached her. "Because I can get you the Avatar."
"I'm listening," Devi smiled.
Meanwhile Eret and Bjorn had closed the tea shop and Eret was sweeping the floor. Then a messenger approached Bjorn with a scroll.
"A message from the Royal Palace," said the messenger.
Bjorn unravelled the scroll. "I… I can't believe it."
"What is it uncle?" Eret asked.
"Great news, we have been invited to serve tea to the Earth King," Bjorn announced.
He then immediately rushed towards the kitchen and Eret merely smiled as he continued to sweep the floor.
Unbeknownst to everyone Devi had just finished her meeting with Lambert and had a devious smile on her. Everything was going according to her plan and Lambert had fallen for it hook line and sinker.
