The Library

"I know, I know. I was just hoping there was some way you could use your weird space feel-y powers to help us out." You glanced at the sand dunes below Appa. You should be trying to take advantage of your powers. Maybe you could help yourself out, too.

"That reminds me. Y/N, how did you know about that weird tank thing? You're not an earthbender like me, so I know you don't have my abilities." Toph said.

"Oh yeah... Well, uh... I can kind of bend the stuff that forms the universe."

Toph's eyes widened again, but she quickly regained a neutral expression.

"This stuffs gonna become a normal thing now, isn't it?"

"There it is!" You perked up, but immediately realized that it was Toph who was talking. You chuckled as everyone else seemingly forgot she was blind. "That's what it'll sound like when one of you finds it." She waved a hand in front of her face with a dumb grin.

"It shouldn't be this hard to find a giant, ornate building from the air..." Katara muttered, scanning the desert for anything resembling the library.  "Down there! What's that?" Sokka pointed at a structure in the distance. Momo and Appa flew down towards it, only to find a singular tower.

"Forget it, it's obviously not what we're looking for. The building in this drawing is enormous." Katara said. You noticed a fox carrying a scroll in its mouth, scale the buikding's wall, and enter a window.

"A knowledge seeker! We must be close to the library." The Professor smiled, excited. "No, this is the library– look!" Sokka held up the drawing of the library,  proving that the tower was connected to the actual building. "It's completely buried."

The Professor's eyes widened in horror. He had spent his whole life waiting, hoping for this moment. Only for his dreams to be crushed, buried, shot down and destroyed. He would never get to explore the amazing library. His entire life was purposeless and meaningle-
"Time to start excavating!"

"Actually, that won't be necessary." Toph placed her hand on the tower, "The inside seems to be completely intact. And it's huge."

"The fox went in through the window. I say we climb up there and give it a look."
Sokka said. "I say you guys go ahead without me." Toph huffed.

"You got something against libraries?" Katara questioned. You tapped her on the shoulder and waved and hand in front of your face, reminding her, again, that Toph was blind.

"O-Oh, right. Sorry." She mumbled, rubbing the back of her neck with an awkward smile. "I'll let you know if they have something you can listen to."

Sokka tossed his boomerang up to the window with a rope attached to it. You all entered the building, surprised at the inside.

The Professor began to rant about the interior excitedly, and you found yourself walking away from the group. You felt your arm grabbing a book off a shelf, and suddenly, void began to drip from your fingertips.

It circled a few letters and words. "Be"
"Ca", "R", "ef" "U", "l." Although she wasn't anywhere around you, you nodded. Then, suddenly, a powerful gust of wind sent you flying in front of the gang. You landed on your butt and rubbed your head, gritting your teeth.

In front of you was an extremely tall owl, who's stare sent a shiver down your spine. His was just as bad as Ozai's.

"You should leave the way you came. Unless you wish to become a stuffed head of anthropology." The name Wan Shi Tong rang in your ears. "Wan Shi Tong. The spirit of knowledge." You muttered. "You know this guy!?" Sokka whispered.
