If not for a mask and a cowl- which was tradition- such a task would have been impossible. He wasn't the only one around who wasn't supposed to be there, in fact there was about a half dozen of them waiting in a hollowed out portion of the very hill the ceremony was taking place on. They were only awaiting their leaders signal.<br/><br/>They were all earth benders, that much was obvious, though they didn't wear the nation's colors. Most of them were trained Earthbenders both ready and capable of committing the crime they had planned. One girl, an inexperienced bender by the name of Anju, was the exception to the rule and the only one who wasn't calm as she waited. The girl was trembling, both from excitement and a bit of reasonable fear. She would be an outlaw after this and the thought was more than welcome. It was the the life she wanted, or at least thought it was what she wanted. By the end of the evening she would no longer have a choice in the matter.<br/><br/>Eventually, once the impostor had decided that the items used in the ritual were most definitely worth stealing, the signal came. It was a signal not of sound, but action. The leader of the rogue gang took a step back from the ceremony, taking a bending stance and tearing multiple holes in the stone floor of the room. Within moments, the other earth benders had lifted themselves out of the openings, working quickly to restrain the water and fire benders in the room.
