Freeman's Odyssey
Chapter: 53
Information Library
Gordon Freeman was involved in the incidents like Azula coming back to cause them problems but they were quickly taken care of, then it was Aang's training lesson and finally a vacation, but before that Gordon told Toph all about himself and his adventures as the teenage girl seems to be admiring him as some sort of father figure.
After heading to some kind of Oasis and meeting some professor, they are on Appa and are in the desert to find a library until it was found. Aang, Sokka, Katara and the professor headed inside, leaving Gordon, Toph and Appa outside.
"It would be best to go inside," said Gordon
"I'm blind remember I don't read," said Toph
"Have you ever heard of brail," said Gordon
"No," said Toph
"It's a form of reading for the blind, instead of seeing the words," said Gordon "You simply feel the words with your finger tips like how you see with Earth bending,
"Really," said Toph
"Oh yes," nodded Gordon
"Then let's go," said "Toph "It would be cool to read a book with your finger tips,"
"Sure thing," said Gordon "Time for princess melon head to experience the library,"
Both of them got on board Appa lifted them up to the window and went inside, Toph is following them as both of them hear voices as they are in the unknown and Gordon sees a very large owl and a talking one too.
"To prove your worth as scholars, you have to contribute some worthwhile knowledge." said Tong
"Please accept this tome as a donation to your library." said the professor as he kneels on the ground, offering a thick book
"First edition, very nice." said Tong as he takes it
"I have an authentic water bending scroll." Said Katara as she comes forward with it
Oh... these illustrations are quite stylish." said Tong
"Uh, oh, I know!" said Aang he pulls a scroll from his shirt collar and presents it, revealing it to be a Fire Nation wanted poster of the Avatar "Ha!"
"I suppose that counts." said Tong
"Oh Great Spirit" said Sokka for he is holding a piece a string between his fingers. "Check this out!" quickly ties the string into a butterfly shaped knot and holds it out "Ta da!" Wan Shi Tong as he stares in silence
"It's a special knot! That counts as knowledge." said Sokka
"You're not very bright, are you?" said Tong after a pause he takes it and looks at two more.
"No he's not," said Gordon "I present the works of William Shakespeare in one book."
"I never heard of a William Shakespeare," said Tong "It looks impressive," he takes it
"I'm from another dimension," said Gordon "That is why,"
The owl blinks "Right and you," said Tong
"The Earth rumble belt," said Toph "I being the former champion and all,"
"Very nice design," said Tong "Enjoy the library"
"One more thing sir," said Gordon "Do you have any brail books,"
"A matter of fact we do," said Tong "It is down the hall to your right,"
The own flies off as Sokka muttered something in which then Gordon and Toph went off to take a look at the brail books while the others are looking for information, also a map of the fire nation and any weaknesses they can find. It wasn't long before Gordon found a lot brail and went over to the table with Toph. He opened the book as it is brail and Toph felt it.
"This is so easy to do," said Toph "And I don't have to see it,"
"Not at all," said Gordon
"I guess you were right from before," said Toph "This is a new experience for me,"
Gordon nodded as Toph used book after book of brail to learn many more until she didn't want to feel read any more, so they got up and walked around as Gordon looked at a few books to find anything useful as he noted it would at least take a decade or two to get an understanding of all of this.
"So you will be leaving soon," said Toph
"Yeah I will," said Gordon "Don't worry I will be back to visit this dimension from time to time, the combine are still out there."
"I understand," said Toph "You have a very cool and great life,"
Gordon walked with her to the window entrance, as Appa is called and she is put down to the sand below as Gordon went to go find the others in which they must be around some where, until he found them in the fire nation area. Looks like Sokka is complaining as always, the professor is around somewhere and Aang, along with Katara look on.
"Well guys," said Gordon "It's been fun, but I am leaving soon,"
"Good luck Gordon," said Aang "We will need it in this one,"
"Yeah, yeah go," said Sokka "Wish I was a butt kicking warrior like you,"
"Take care," said Katara
Having made several logs already, as Gordon opened a portal by way of his suits technology and stepped inside as both of them vanished into thin air.
