The real Chapter 72

-----Scribblehub has a gross editor.... So um, making the duplicates will take some time. However a duplicate of my fics will begin on Scribblehub! Now onto the fic.-----

With traveling a literal entire 3 days in the desert. We or more I found the library. I was busy strapping the trunk of stolen goods to my back. I planned on just climbing up the libraries tower the old fashion way. I even swapped my clothes out for non-fire nation attire.

"Are you seriously saying we can't follow you down? What is the fucking point of this trip?"

I looked over at Azula. "The last fire bender who came here stole a bunch of stuff as well as burn a chunk of it. This trunk has the stolen goods, I don't know about you. Except I prefer not to fight a spirit as powerful as the one down there."

Azula raised an eyebrow. It was cute, "The spirits can be defeated, but its better to know which ones to fight off and which ones to be friends with. A spirit with a library filled with literal archives dating back before the 4 nations. I'd say is in the category of friend not foe."

Azula scratched her cheek slightly, "Hurry up, I want to get down there. I have some research I want to check out."

I made finger guns. "Right-O princess pretty face."

Azula looked confused, but I could see her mood change. I grabbed onto the wall and pulled myself up and into the window. I tossed a rope down on both sides and tied it to the window ledge. "Come down in, uh... 10 minutes?"

"You got 5!"

Eyeing Azula I shrugged and fell backwards into the library. Before reaching the ground I changed stance and landed on my knees. The fact people could land like this was nutty. Stepping free from the the ground I upturned with my landing I looked around.

The library was, honestly I had no words for it. I pulled the Trunk free from my back and placed it right side up. I was gonna sit here and wait for Wan Shi Tong. He had to hear my entra-

"Holy fuck!" I fell backwards as the big ass owl flew onto the landing I was on.

"And who might you be? A Tomb raider? A Thief here to take what does not belong?"

"Hold on a second!" I got up and brushed a feather or two of me. I popped open the trunk and lifted it out. "This stuff wa-"

Wan Shi Tong bent increible close to my face. His eyes just seemed like black beads. "How strange."

"What's strange?"

"You, any many aspects. These are the stolen goods from my last visitor. It does not make up for the records he burned, but... That is not the only oddity in this..."

Wan Shi Tong looked up int the way I had entered the library. "You have friends up there? What ever beast you rode here on made an awful amount of noise."

"Not a beast, but a ve-"

"Yes, Yes I know about the mechanized monsters. You smell like a spirit, do you care to explain?"

"Can I get a word in?"

Wan Shi Tong just stared at me before pulling back. "My curiosity is getting the better of me. If you permit me to ask my questions later i will provide you access to my home."

I raised a finger, "Thanks, but, when my friends come down here you aren't gonna kill them right? I need them alive."

He gave me a deep stare, before asking why. "You smell of smoke and earth as well. Am I to assume your friends are fire benders?"

"Princess of them actually, she has a whole temper thing and is a bit of a control freak. You aren't gonna kill her right?"

Wan Shi Tong bristled and sighed. "You have returned my belongings, I cannot in good faith deny this request. However! Should she cause any damage it is you who will pay do you understand?"

I nodded, also getting the hint. "My name is Orin."

He nodded, and turned to the trunk. He quickly closed it and then somehow hide it within his feathers. How he did that I was flabbergasted. Ignoring the witchcraft of Wan Shi Tong I began my climb up the rope.

I didn't even need 5 minutes!

------Hio pov-----

I was so excited! We had finally made it to the library! Orin said this was where we were heading. To think it was real though!

"What are you doing standing around its been 5 minutes climb up there after him!"

Princess Azula pointed at me and was tapping her foot. Thank god Mai came to my rescue.

"It hasn't even been 3 minutes Azula. Just keeping pacing, why are you even in a rush?"

I stepped back away from Princess Azula. Seriously how did anyone deal with them. I just wanted to read some history books! It was why I came out here first. Why was the Princess so intent anyway?

"Omph!" I turned and saw Orin face plant into the sand. Why did he jump off the window?

I then saw small fox and I realized it was because that was one of Wan Shi Tong's assistants! it was so adorable!
