Chiyo walked down the path at the park. It was quiet other than the rustle of leaves and wind, and the soft noise of the drizzling rain. "If I fought...well, there is always the possibility of us winning. But if we did win, what good what it do us really? Everyone would still be afraid of us - even more so. The government would find a way to make our lives miserable at one point or another. And if we lost...things would be even worse. Kicked out of the country, maybe? Prosocuted? Under lock down around the clock? Then, I could group up with some other benders and go back to our original land, that wouldn't upset the government further, I assume. That may be the safest choice. ......but what would mom do?"

A while later, Chiyo dashed back into her house and shut the door, them the rain began to pour down hard. She took off her shoes and jacket, leaving them on the floor. She sat on the couch and watching the rain pour down against the window. She listened to the sound of the rain with her head propped up by her hand. Chiyo fell asleep.
"Chiyo, honey. Come help me with these bags." Chiyo ran outside the house and took some of the grocery bags from her mother. As they locked the car and began to walk inside, a police car drove past the house. He slowed down and watched them as he slowly passed by. Chiyo's mother gave him a dirty looked. He returned the look, then focused his attention ahead and drove away. Once inside, her mother said, "Chiyo. No matter what happens, no matter what it is, or how hard it is, never forget who you are."

Chiyo opened her eyes and looked out the window. "Still raining..." she thought. She got up and walked over to the closet in the hall. Looking through the mess of coats, phone books, and other things, she pulled out a small locked journal that belonged to her mother. She found the key hidden where her mother had told her, under the large living room rug. Chiyo sat down at the kitchen table and opened the journal. Flipping through the pages, she found various notes, summaries, entries, and phone numbers. Here was what she was looking for. The information for the Bender's Rights Society. Her mother had written this down when the group first began forming. "Hopefully it's still there." She scribbled down the information on a crumpled napkin and continued flipping through the pages. "Now I fully understand why she said it was so important that nobody found this book..." Chiyo thought. "If they did, the group might not be here today." Stopping at an entry that looked really interesting, she began to read it.

"Today marks the first offical day of the Bender's Rights Society, for the purpose of keeping the bender's and their families safe from the rising discrimination against them. As long as we should stand, this generation and past, we will fight for the safety and rights of benders and the movement of equal treatment as the other citizens.
Though the discrimination may not be to the point of war today, future generations will experience worse if things continue as they are. This organization was made in secret, will act both openly and secretly, and location kept in secret. May all the benders stand together as one and fight back!" -Dani Hatasuki

Chiyo closed the book and locked it, putting the key in her pocket. Taking a small bag, she put the journal in it and took the napkin with the information on it, and heading out the door. It was still raining, but not as hard as was before. She put up her hood and walked down the street. "Alright, from the looks of it, this would be on the edge of town...alright." Chiyo went to the bus stop and waited for the bus. She was the only one waiting other than an older, serious looking man with a black umbrella.
The bus came a few minutes later, making noise as it pulled to a stop. Chiyo got on and gave money to the bus driver. She walked to the back of the half empty bus and sat in a secluded corner. The bus continued on, and Chiyo watched out the window as the buildings and cars came into sight and then passed out of sight once again. Soon after, the bus stopped again, and some people got off. She watched as people came and got off for the next 15 minutes. The bus pulled to a stop. "This is where I get off..." thought Chiyo. She made her way to the front and got off, looking around. Waiting until the bus left, she looked at her paper. "This is where it's supposed to be...' looking around her faced dropped. 'There's nothing here, not a living soul or building..."

"I can't believe it's not here..." dropping to her knees, Chiyo landed on the thick carpet of green grass and pounded her fists against the ground. Her eyes began to get glassy and she held back the urge to cry. Hitting her fists against the ground again, she gasped and sat dead still. A second of utter silence, and she dropped on her side and hit the ground again with her fist. Listening intently, she heard the slightest echo. She sat up and looked around. There still wasn't anyone else in the area, other than a curious looking squirrel in a nearby tree; staring down at her. She stood up and looked around, her knees shaking from being both excited and nervous. "Something's down there...' she thought. "But how to get there...?"

Despratley, Chiyo looked around. "A secret lever, a switch? How do I get down there?!!" She looked under things, searched the overgrown and half dead garden, pulled twigs, but she found nothing. "I don't know where to look...I tired everything I could possibly think of." she sighed. Reaching into her knapsack, she took the crumpled napkin and looked at the information. "There MUST be something here, there has to be a way in..." Scanning over the writing, she scatched her head. Then, like a thought struck her. A subtle memory, that was buried deep inside her; seeming to be unimportant, it revealed itself. Chiyo could so clearly hear her mother's words. "Chiyo, just remember, you must NEVER give up bending, no matter what. Bending is the key to everything!" Chiyo smiled slightly, silently thanking her mother, and put the paper away. She looked around briefly to make sure there was nobody anywhere near her. Then she opened a water bottle and bended out the water in a steady stream. Controling it calmly and surely, she began to pack the water in an odd looking crack in an old water fountain that she noticed. Not sure if this was it, but worth a try, she pushed the water in tightly.

Silence.....Chiyo looked around, deciding what to try next. Just then, she felt a slight vibration underneath the ground. "What I wish to be Earth Bender right now! So much easier..." she thought to herself. The rumbling stopped shortly, and Chiyo wondered what to do now. Then, the ground opened slightly and narrow stairs were revealed. A young man hurried her in. She ran over to the stairs, and glanced over her shoulder before entering. The mysterious man began to earthbend, and the opening shut. It was pitch black for a moment, than a small flame appeared. Chiyo blinked a few times to get used to the dim light, and before her stood another figure - a woman, but she couldn't tell much else with the lighting. Chiyo looked from the firebender, to the earthbender, then at the darkness beyond, wondering what was hiding there.
