Capítulo 25: Wan Shi Tong
The airship soared through the sky once more, flying through the desert for days, searching for a lonely tower in the middle of the sand. Easy, right?
During the trip, Madara kept writing many different books about many subjects he learned from his previous world that he thought would also apply to this world, and one was the basics of chemistry, another was the basics of physics and math, a third one was a book that he wrote that contained information about all languages available in both human and spirit world.
It took him a little over two weeks to finish his job, and his first works didn't have much in-depth information because he dropped out of school very early on, but he believed that his knowledge would still be valid.
The language book was what he was counting on to get on Wan Shi Tong's good side, but he wrote another one that he hoped he wouldn't need to give. But regardless of that, he wrote it. It's always better to be prepared.
After a month of not finding anything, Kaliya finally spotted the supposed tower with her spyglass, and Lei being the good housewife he was, turned and flew towards it.
"Jackie, this time only me and Kaliya will go down. I will need you here to keep driving the Airship" Madara had the memories of Appa being kidnapped when team Avatar entered this place. He won't be risking it.
"As you wish, Mr. Uchiha. Where should I take it?" said Lei.
"Anywhere you prefer, a hidden location where the airship will be secure but don't leave it there, stay inside with the engine always on. We have more than enough fuel to keep this going for a long time. I want you to stay hidden until nightfall. Then you fly back here to scout the place. If we are out, I will light a fire so you can spot us. If you see nothing, fly back to the hideout, avoid leaving the hideout during the day, we don't want you to be tracked."
"Will do as commanded, Mr. Uchiha. You take care of yourself down there," said Lei.
Madara nodded and walked towards the hatch with Kaliya.
"It seems Jackie doesn't like me," said the woman pretending to be hurt. "Not even wishing the best for me too!" She concluded while chuckling.
Lei decided to ignore her remark, but his eyebrow twitched in annoyance.
"Lower our altitude Jackie, don't land. We will be jumping down."
Jackied nodded and piloted the airship until it reached roughly 10 feet from the sand and gave the signal.
Opening the hatch, Kaliya and Madara just jumped. While falling, Kaliya used her waterbending to create a whip of water and wrap around the hatch knob, landing gently on the ground.
Madara, on the other hand, ignited flames from his feet and glided down without any issues.
Waving his hand to the Airship, Madara turned away and walked towards the Tower with Kaliya.
Lei, who saw the sign, piloted the airship and left, disappearing on the horizon.
"Remember Kaliya, when we meet the spirit inside you need to be gentle with them, they can have quite the temper. Also, you will be offering this to them, Wan Shi Tong collects information, so we need to show proper respect." Said Madara while handing the Physics and Math book to her, keeping the Chemistry for himself.
"Alright, ye don't have to worry, we Northern Tribesmen are the most attuned to the spirits." Said Kaliya.
"Oh, don't go counting on that, Tui and La are gentle spirits... our friend down there won't be like that."
"H-how did ye… " sigh "Ye know what, I give up on trying figuring ye out."
Madara chuckled "Hehe, well.. girls like mysterious guys, don't they?"
Raising one eyebrow "What the… ye alright boss? This is the first time I've ever heard ye talking about stuff like that…"
Madara stopped in his tracks and his eyes widened "Oh… FUCK…" he let out a massive sigh and started walking towards the tower again while massaging his forehead 'GREAT, I WILL HAVE TO ENDURE FUCKING PUBERTY ALL OVER AGAIN! FUCK YOU, VOICE!'
With their bendings and skills they had no issue in climbing to the entrance, Madara tied a rope so Kaliya could go down safely "Meet you downstairs" he said before jumping excitedly into the darkness.
Kaliya sighed "Damn this man, he seems more excited about the smallest things since he came back from that town…" she smiled 'although… I prefer him this way' then she slowly climbed down with the aid of the rope.
Landing several feet below, the duo walked through the dark and dusty tunnels, Madara ignited a torch with his firebending on their way, they came prepared after all.
"Hmmm….. what do ….we have here…. Humans?" Said a rather soft-spoken voice, one would mistake the source of it for a gentleman if it wasn't for the creepy reverberation that came with it.
Looking up the duo saw a massive black owl with a white face and big black eyes that stared at them with curiosity.
"You must be Wan Shi Tong, the owner of this place," said Madara.
"Interesting…. You know about me… but I don't know about you…." Said the owl "Which is incredibly…. Strange…. Considering..... that I feel..... a spirit when I..... look at you…."
Raising an eyebrow Madara replied "Oh, you feel it? Good to know that other spirits can do that." He didn't mind, it's not like he was trying to keep it a secret after the whole swamp battle.
"Not only that…. But your face…. I haven't seen your face…." Said the owl, staring curiously at Madara.
"We never met, so obviously you wouldn't know my face..." said Madara with a drop of sweat coming down his forehead 'ohhh shit, I forgot to consider that detail… fuck…'
"Hmmm…. You are not wrong…. But a face like yours…. Unseen…. Will attract quite a bit of trouble in the future… young… hm…. Avatar?" asked the owl seriously confused.
This time Kaliya couldn't help but interfere "Wait…Wait.. Wait… Hold on for a minute, YE THE FUCKING AVATAR?!" she yelled at Madara, who had to cover his ears due to how loud she was.
"No, I'm not the Avatar, I have nothing to do with the Avatar." He said while shaking his head.
"Hmmm… You speak correctly….. You are not the Avatar…. But still…. You feel like one…. Is it because of the spirit.... inside you?"
"Wait, ye have a spirit inside you?! Why did no one ever tell me this?!" Kaliya was literally losing it.
Sighing "Kaliya we will talk about it after our introductions, it's rather rude to keep the owner of this place waiting when we are their guests."
The owl's face tilted to the side "You are a weird human…. Very humble…. But at the same time.... not humble at all…."
Shrugging, Madara replied, "Well I believe a lot of people think that I'm weird at this point, if you have a problem with that, I'm afraid that you will have to join the queue, Mr. Wan Shi Tong."
The owl laughed "Ha.ha.ha.ha.ha….. You are indeed… a very …. Interesting… human."
Madara rolled his eyes "Lost the count of how many times I've heard that."
The Owl was rather amused by Madara's casual behavior.
"So….. you came here …. For knowledge…. I presume."
Madara nodded and sent a signal to Kaliya, both of them presented their basic knowledge books to Wan Shi Tong.
"These are full of some knowledge about how the human world works, not about society or people, but about the world itself, among some other interesting stuff that can be found inside."
The owl took the books and quickly saw through them. "Most… intriguing…. These theories… these numbers…. Hmmmmm…. Not bad at all…."
"Wan Shi Tong, we are looking for some books and I hope that you can help us find them."
"Oh….. what… do you…. Seek?"
"For my companion here, I would like a complete collection of all bending styles, Northern, Southern, Foggy Swamp… and even Blood Bending."
Kaliya was shocked "Blood bending? Is that a thing?!"
Madara nodded "It's a very difficult thing to learn, and the requirements are very high, but I believe it to be one of the strongest bending techniques in the world."
The owl was also surprised "You know….a lot…. " Wan Shi Tong turned to Kaliya and spoke.
"Follow the …. Blinking…. Green lanterns… it will take you…. There."
Kaliya nodded but didn't move, she was waiting for Madara, she wouldn't leave her boss alone with a weird and rather unpredictable spirit.
"You can go ahead Kaliya, I will be right behind you, you don't have to worry about me. Enjoy every second of it, there's no source of knowledge better than this place in this whole world."
She nodded and followed his command, disappearing after crossing the passage.
"What about….. you…?"
"Combustion bending, Chi breathing techniques, Lightning Bending and the best fighting styles… and if you can… Energy Bending."
Wan Shi Tong was in silence for a long while "You…. Have some dangerous…. Knowledge… about this…. World…. Energy… Bending… is not meant…. To be known to … humans.."
Madara said nothing "I take it you won't allow me to read about it then."
The owl nodded "You are …. Indeed correct."
Sighing Madara pulled one final book from his backpack "If you let me read all about energy bending, I will be giving you unique knowledge that no one else possesses, and it may be related to energy bending."
There's no bargaining here and Madara knew it, if Wan Shi Tong willed… this whole place would disappear and they would never be able to learn anything, it's better to just make a simple deal with the spirit instead of angering it.
The owl now was curious, very curious, they were tilting their head from one side to the other trying to decide what to do in this situation. "A unique… knowledge… you say?"
"A very unique knowledge," Said Madara while grinning with conviction.
"If you… manage to surprise me…. I will… accept."
"My only request is to never, NEVER, let this book exit your library, do we have a deal?"
"A….. very simple ….. deal… yes…"
Madara tossed the book to the Owl, who instantly scanned through it, its eyes could only widen when he finished reading about it "I… never heard …. Of anything like… this…. Is it true…?"
"Yes, I am the living proof that it is true."
The owl flapped its wings excitedly.
"Show…. Me… this so… called…. Sharingan…"
Madara willed and his eyes turned blood red, displaying their three tomoe slowly spinning while staring at the Owl's eyes.
".....Magnificent.…."
