I held Momo in my arms, barely hiding the way I shook with fear. My wig was still in place, so Zhao hadn't recognised me yet - so for now, I was nothing but another waterbender who lost her powers.
"I am a legend now!" He declared proudly, holding up the bag with the Moon Spirit inside.
"You're a loony!" I snapped in a brief moment of bravery.
He threw me a disgusted glare but otherwise didn't grace me with an answer.
"The Fire Nation will for generations tell stories about the great Zhao who darkened the moon!  They will call me Zhao the Conqueror! Zhao the Moon Slayer! ZHAO THE INVINCIBLE!"

Momo jumped out of my arms and jumped on Zhao's head, pulling his hair and sideburns and scratching his face.
"Uh! Get it off!" Zhao yelled.
I made a mad dash for the bag, only for Zhao to hit me as he threw me aside.
I fell into the water with a scream, my wig getting caught on Zhao's fingers and coming off.
"Amaya!"
