The Tide Falls, The Tide Rises

After escaping being imprisoned in the Fire Nation, Minori reveals to Yokidan and Akira that he had been able to retrieve 50 pages of Kyokku's documents. It was back in the prison he saw them and took them. They spend a few days looking over them, mostly Minori, and find many hints where she might be stowed away.

Minori meets a girl named Emelia Bentine. He seems to grow attached to her quickly as she questions his choices. This leads further but is interrupted by Akira, who exclaims she must be prying for information. He forces her from the room and scolds Minori, who plays a leadership card. Later, the two exit to find Emelia seducing Yokidan, who is quite gullible. They stop her and make her run away.

After their run-in, Minori leaves out of plausible anger and investigates the nearby Kikono temple. He finds a beast which he kills, then an old Kikono emerges to threaten him off. Minori returns to report. They have no information gained, but still, know Kyokku might have been at another nearby village. They head there without a second thought. After an hour of looking around, before speaking to the inhabitants, they are ambushed by a group of Eritomoru. They fight them off but are eventually forced to flee and return to their village. Minor is confused why there are members of the Eritomoru, still dawning their outfits, and mentions the temple. Akira is flustered that he hadn't done so earlier.

They return to the temple, all three of them, and see the Kikono Minori did. They fight him and eventually overpower him, learning that the Kikono is a puppet.. Minori know's whose technique this is: Vexxis Sixxev. He is unsure now, and they rush back to the village. Minori enters the house and is unable to find the documents, he exits and exclaims in frustration. Yokidan hesitates to mention YIllia's prescence, and they try to attack her. She avoids their attacks with ease and causes the two to flee, while further trying to scare Minori from following the trail. She almost succeeds.
