Gau stood in the shadows of the dock watching the two get away in the boat. Gau had found it amusing that the woman was carrying the man, but otherwise watched the Equalists argue with each other in frustration. While the woman had disappeared into the boat's interior to get the boat running, Gau had pulled a note he had written eariler to give to some people to help them, but seeing these two benders run like they did, Gau could always write another note. Tearing a piece of cloth from his pant leg and summoned a rock out of the ground, tieing the note to the rock, Gau chucked it at the boat as it sped away fearing for a second that it would not make it but watched it land just barely on the deck and smiled some.

The Equalists finally noticed Gau standing were he was and they walked towards him. "You!" Gau looked at them in a mock surprise and looked down at them, they were rather short even to Gau. "Why did you not help us get those Benders! it is your duty as a member of the Republic!" Gau watched the man pull out what looked like a thin metal club. "I am not trained in combat..i am a simple farmer here to trade my goods..sir" "What is your name Citizen" the lead Equalist asked.

Gau started to get nervous just a tiny bit..not because he was a bender but because he was on the list of Benders who were being hunted. His face was not known but his name was, and telling them that name would link his face to the name and no longer allowing him to help the other Benders,as he had promised himself he would do. With a sigh Gau looked at the lead Equalist "my name is Seifu Zaraku..I farm a hundred miles outside of the city in the flat lands..past the mountains."The lead Equalist looked to his right and that man produced a long peice of parchment and looked down the list."That name isn't on my list..and boss..he is a Farmer..I have seen him in the market trading more then once" The man growled and put the club away. "Good day Citizen..i am sure we will meet again sometime." With that he watched the group walk away.



Gau smiled some and thought of messing with them for a moment but thought better of it..He had hoped those kids had found the note by now..it would give him time to get to the spot to meet them.

The Note

I will not tell you my name right now..but know I am one of you..I am a bender, I am leading a resistance against the Equalists and I am helping out any and all Benders I can find..there are others out there like me..helping to hide and fight the Equalists..If you are even slightly Interested meet me on the open plane entrance past the mountains in the next two days..your question will be, What can we not live without. my answer in return will be. The earth under our feet. On the other side of this note is a map that will lead you to the spot..I pray that you show up. i hope to see you in two days. The Resistance.


Gau took his time wandering out of the city so as to not make a scene, even buying a few things from the market to eat on the road. Once outside, Gau paid the stable boy for keeping his Ostrich horse taken care of and road off towards the meeting spot.
