He convinced Jesa to participate in a scheme, and she fell in love with him and the criminal life. She says that Jesa was a nun born in the Eastern Air Temple, becoming a highly regarded master at a young age however, on a journey through the Earth Kingdom, she met Kyoshi's father, an earthbender and daofei. Kyoshi hopes that continuing to give details about her mother will help her escape the difficult training. Rangi says that it is relevant and that Air Nomads are not outlaws. Kyoshi then agrees she should have told her that her mother was an airbender and that she did not think that information was important. She apologizes, but her friend tells her she is allowed to speak once her hips are parallel. Kyoshi feels intense pain in her thighs and backĀ and after three minutes she realizes Rangi wants to punish her for not telling her everything. Kyoshi reluctantly asks her if they will be firebending in that place since they can be easily seen and Rangi responds that they will only be reviewing the basics, telling her to hold her stance for ten minutes. When they reach the mounds, Rangi tells her to get into the horse stance. On the way there, Kyoshi feels like a prisoner as Rangi prods her several times to move faster. They walk away from the camp to some small hills as Kirima, Lek, and Wong sleep and Lao Ge is missing.
Rangi wakes her up before dawn and tells her they will start her firebending training. Kyoshi sleeps poorly, concerned that Lao Ge knows she is the Avatar, and thinking she is in danger if every old person she encounters is able to deduce she has great power or discovers her true identity. Later, Kyoshi agrees to join the Flying Opera Company and takes a daofei vow.
Rangi begins to train Kyoshi in the art of firebending.
