It was there that he learned about the Moon and Ocean Spirits of the Water Tribe and where their mortal incarnations could be found. Interested in learning the information it held, he searched through scroll after scroll for knowledge that could aid the Fire Nation in its efforts against the Avatar and Water Tribes, until he came across a detailed illustration with the words "moon" and "ocean". As a junior lieutenant serving under General Shu in the Earth Kingdom, Zhao discovered a vast Spirit Library hidden underground, and offered Wan Shi Tong the knowledge of Fire Nation war machines to gain entry.

Passing away just over a year ago, the American left was robbed of unquestionably one of its brightest, most perceptive commentators. This includes historical figures such as Walter Benjamin and Eugene Debs to more contemporary figures like Mark Fisher and, the subject of this article, Michael Brooks. There are a huge number of people robbed of the opportunity to develop their analysis, witness future victories and age gracefully. Indeed, the British and Irish Left is feeling just this as we speak, with the Jacobin writer and former Guardian columnist Dawn Foster having passed away recently at the age of 34, leaving behind a short but impressive record of principled and intelligent socialist journalism.
