After the events from November 11th, the city has been in a constant state of repair. In an effort to speed things up, a variety of construction companies have offered high wages for helping out since many have too many orders to keep up with. Earthbenders in particular are welcome, especially if they're able to metalbend, but it's hands for labor that are most needed.

Those who received the newspaper on the 5th of this month will have noticed some overlaying text that probably shouldn't be there. It said to meet outside the city council office if you want to help rebuild the city, but those who went on the 5th and the 6th know that nothing happened. Around noon today, however, a golden light shoots out of the ground. Instead of dissipating right away, it sketches out the word "hope" in the dirt. Shortly after, genuine gold appears where the light had burst forth. Every now and then, a variety of items and tools appear, lying scattered among the gold. Many of the newly appeared items can be used to help rebuild the city such as stacks of timber and stone, but many of the other items appear to have been previously owned. Heirlooms that had been previously destroyed now in perfect condition along with other lost items and the like keep appearing at random in front of the city council office in addition to all the gold.

The text on the newspaper wasn't lying, though. Someone is watching. Or something. Everything everyone does will be under close surveillance. Whether they keep the gold, leave it alone or give it away; whether they work to repair the city or sit and do nothing. Either way, the area around the council office is brimming with spiritual energy, but no spirits are coming out to play.

That's certainly good information to know. She would have dismissed the rumour outright if it hadn't been repeated so many times, but even then she wasn't fully expecting it to turn out true. But that thought is disregarded because Aang continues being as easy to pin down as she suspects.

"You're certainly full of surprises," Mia says with a little bit of surprise and amusement. "Not many are courageous enough to journey to the North given the climate up there. It is pretty amazing, I'll agree. Though Republic City is... it's beautiful in its own right too, hm? Especially the Spirit Wilds!"

"I guess I'm just a- a surprisey kind of monk?" He chuckles. "But you're right. This city's unlike anything I ever saw before! I really love the spirit wilds. They're so beautiful!"

"Exactly. I have to think that, so far, that might be my favourite place in the entire city," Mia says, almost breathless. "There are so many spirits there; I thought I already knew a lot about the spirits back home, but here, there are just so many more, and I find I have so many questions still unanswered. Especially since there are some definitely curious ones in there."

"I know what you mean! There's more spirits than I've ever seen before over there. I wanna get to know them all! And hey, maybe some of them'll know something about all of this gold business!"

Mia has to admire the young monk's enthusiasm. "Yes," she says with a light-hearted chuckle. "Maybe they just might. If you find something out though, I'd love to know."

"Don't worry, if I do, I'll definitely pass some word along to you. OR I'll see if I can get a spirit to send the message! Wouldn't that be neat?"

She can't help but giggle. "That would be pretty amazing. Spirit, yourself, or otherwise, I'll be happy to hear it.

"Good luck meeting all of the spirits in the Wilds then. I think it's going to take a while for that."

"Thanks! Don't worry, I'm sure I'll meet them all eventually. If you ever need to find me, I should be there in the wilds or up by Air Temple Island!"

"I'll make sure to look for you there," she says with a smile. She gives Aang a little bow before heading off on her way.

He returns the bow as she sets off. "It's been nice meeting you, Mia! Bye!"
