After a Hold

Won Shi Tong laid back in his chair, and sighed.

"I thank you for the company it has been a long time since I have had such a lengthy conversation, I must sleep now. Please close the door on the way out."

I nodded, closing the door. Drinking Tea and talking what just might be called metaphysics was tiring even for myself. I yawned and looked around. I took out my pen and paper, our conversation had led me to some theories.

I learned the location of the Air Lion Turtle which, was at the bottom of the ocean. So I mean, fuck. Won Shi Tong learned about it when one of his assistants raided the destroyed air temples. Second thing I learned was spirit hierarchy. Won Shi Tong was something called a settled spirit, which was something like a duke I guess?

Spirits like Raava and Vaatu were like Kings and were known as fundamental spirits. Which led to the lion turtles who were well...

I opened the status screen and stared at the garbled line I had. If the fundamental spirits were like great leaders of the spirits. The Lion Turtles acted as something of a higher being. After all a new fundamental spirit can be born if one were to die, but if a lion turtle dies. They are gone from the world.

Which lead me to my new theory on why I was chosen. Since the world wasn't exactly as perceived from the show. Aka the 'opened wound' which caused the whole bleeding of worlds or what not. If the wound bleeds down to make a new world, and I was brought up in the sequence. I could assume the lion turtles were individuals from a higher wound that bleed down into this world. A good theory I'd say. Where this becomes important is the fact that it also means humans are a by product of the bleeding as well.

Which led to the world falling out of balance and causing what Won Shi Tong called the First Great Collapse. Apparently he was a child then and the destruction of knowledge during that time is what made him decide on his whole library thing. Good stuff really, but what I get from it. Was that the lion turtles made an artificial balance of the world.

Which meant they brought me here to create a new balance. Summary! My small obsession with the series led to the lion turtles using me as a good replacement. How lovely...

I blinked, and then reopened my status screen and checked the relations. "Fuck am I stupid sometimes."

Won Shi Tong had a bar. I didn't get any pop ups from it because he was likely a spirit. Which seemed true enough.

<Status: Friendly>

<NEW! Font of Knowledge>

The fuck, this was the first time it said NEW!. I looked at the indication and my eyes widened.

<Font of Knowledge: A shared piece of Wisdom from Won Shi Tong. Touching a book or scroll gives you a small idea into what it is about and what knowledge it can provide you. Works on User and owned abilities.>

I smiled, The new was there because it was new information. Which meant...

Picking up a random book a notification popped up. <NEW! Journal 4B by Krisi: A journal about the life of a earth kingdom settler who learned from the badger moles. No skills will be increased for reading.>

I almost laughed hysterically, it told me if I could gain skills from the books too! I raised my hands to the air, I AM GOING TO LEARN EVERYTHING!

-----Mai pov-----

"Ha! That's a good one..." I found a section in the library dedicated to jokes and some of them were not bad.

"Hey Mai! Check this out!"

i dropped the book and looked at Ty Lee, "What is it?"

"What were you reading?"

Looking down at the book I picked it up and set it back on the shelf. "Just these terrible joke books." Thinking a little fast, "Reminds me of the old times when we hung out at the palace."

Ty Lee smiled, "How sweet!"

I rolled my eyes, not sweet at all. "What did you want to show me?"

Ty Lee jumped, "Right!" She grabbed my arm and pulled me along so quickly I didn't even have time to stop her. I nearly tripped over my dress, "Slow down."

"Sorry, but we are here! Look at this place!"

Looking at the room Ty Lee pulled me into I could figure out what it was. A star charter, a increible complex on at that. Walking to the middle I turned a dial and the different cut outs moved. The Sun positioned the next day and the moon changed the phase.

"Neat isn't it?"

I was about to tell her off, but... Instead I turned the dial to the assumed date. A small red ball entered the scene and I realized it was way more complex then I had thought.

"What is that little red dot?"

"Sozin's comet..." Looking at the moon and the comet, I sorta.

"it can even pre-"

"Ty Lee? If Water bender's get stronger in the phases of the moon and fire benders go by the day. Do you think that there would be other celestial changes that effect benders? like Sozin's comet?"

Ty Lee seemed to think about what I was implying, "I don't think that's a good idea."

I sighed, "I saw this scroll earlier in a glass case. It read as the darkest day in fire nation history. So?"

Ty Lee's lips puckered and folded her arms. "I'm not helping you put that in."

"Fine whatever, just watch the props up there and tell me what happens."
