Book 17.5: Fourth Wall

[savedtheworld]

[Behold Aang, the young air nomad. Physically 15 and now mentally about 16, he's grown quite a bit from his time in the Hundred Year War.

Today seemed like a good day to visit the library. He found out from Duck that there were stories out there where the characters came to life and left the story. So now he's checking around to see if he can find any books like this. Only to find unexpected visitors of a different variety...

Alternately? He can be found out in front of House 56, deep in meditation, trying to see if he can reach his past lives...]

You got a point there - us monks can be super helpful! And I'm glad you're just mysterious and not suspicious. It's nice to meet you, Xellos! My name's Aang.

[that_is_asecret]

Ah, excellent Mr. Aang. I have a few questions, if you don't mind.

[savedtheworld]

Sure! I'll do my best to answer.

[that_is_asecret]

First off, what sort of a monk are you? I've known a few different orders in my day, and it is good to know what sort of ideals you serve.

Secondly, do you know the name of this land, and perhaps of the universe?

[The universe might be asking a bit much. Most sorcerers in his world didn't know about that. Granted he was part of the reason they didn't know, but it was still possible to find]

[savedtheworld]

You might not have heard of it, but I'm an air nomad! We believe in spirituality and freedom. [He doesn't get his hopes up anymore for other worlds having people like the air nomads - they all seem to have different kinds of monks.]

I don't know what this universe is called, but I can help you with the land! This place is called Luceti.

[that_is_asecret]

[Hmmmmm. An air nomad was it?]

Does the name Airlord Valwin mean anything to you?

[He didn't think there were any human followers left of his around, but better to check]

[savedtheworld]

Nope! I never knew that there were airlords! Are they friendly?

[that_is_asecret]

Just the one actually. I wouldn't say Airlord Valwin is friendly at all really.

[Granted, they were sworn enemies bent on each other's destruction, but Airlord didn't particularly like humans to begin with either]

What sort of magic exists here?

[savedtheworld]

Oh... Then I guess I wouldn't want to know him.

And, uh, that depends on what you mean! There's lots of people here from different worlds who all have their own magic. And my bending's like magic, too! But the only magic that's native to this world is the kind you learn from the filial spirits.

[that_is_asecret]

[Excellent, better to keep potential mortal followers away from a dangerous enemy]

Probably not.

I see. I'm quite familiar with magic drawing from different spirits actually. Do you know any of the names of the spirits people draw power from?

[This should help confirm if he was anywhere on the known universes]

[savedtheworld]

Yep! There's a bunch. Kipinn, Nala, Sona, Hyt, Faelan, Eferin, Tsinku... and I guess there's Twila, too.

[that_is_asecret]

[He'll keep those names in mind. Always good to know who your colleagues were, well sort of]

I noticed you paused for Twila. Anything about that spirit I should know?

[savedtheworld]

It's just that spirit's kind of a troublemaker. A dark spirit! So you should avoid him.

[that_is_asecret]

Oh, I've had my share of dealings with dark spirits. I'm quite adept at speaking with them actually.

[Being essentially what he is]
