Chapter 29: Departure



Author here, we have two chapters left till the time skip. Just wanted to give you a heads up. The time skip will be till about a year before Aang wakes up. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walking through the town I could feel the tension at the news that was just announced to the whole guild. Zhao and Go Rehi along with some members of their party would be leaving the town, returning to their own nations. While no one particularly cared about them personally they were still the highest-level climbers in the guild. Their leaving meant a decrease in high level goods. 

"Didn't think this would be this big a deal" I said hearing everyone I passed talking about it. 

Entering the gild building I made my way up to the guild masters office to find a Go Rehi discussion with Gishen. 

"Any particular topic you are on?" I asked. 

Looking up Goshen answered "Yes. With Goshen leaving I need to appoint a new vice guildmaster" 

"True, even though he wasn't involved much he was still in the town if anything important came up" I replied. 

"Do you have any suggestions?" Go Rehi asked. 

"Not at the moment" 

"How about He Tun" Goshen suggested. 

"I don't think so, he's not really the leader type. Plus he and his family are content on the fifth floor" I commented. 

"How about Zhao's explorer Soren" Go Rehi suggested "He has a good head on his shoulders" 

Thinking for a moment I said "I don't think that is a good idea. Even if he is a good option I don't think having two Fire nation citizens running the guild" 

"I agree with you on that," Goshen said. 

"How about Pakku then?" Go Rehi suggested. 

"He left for the northern watertribe a week ago. Said he would be back in a few months" Goshen informed us. 

Finally remembering someone I suggested "How about Sarak. He recently returned from the northern water tribe right?' 

"That's right" Goshen started "He came back with the last group of water tribe warriors"

"I have seen him in the tower a few times. He would make a good vice guildmaster" Go Rehi conceded. 

"I will send for him immediately," Goshen said. 

"No need. I will be back in a moment" I said, stopping him. 

Teleporting back into the tower I used my map to find him on the fourteenth floor. Transporting myself there I made sure to be a bit away from his group. When I saw him I got ready to approach but I thought to check his status first.

"He seems to be doing fine" I said starting to approach "Sarak" 

Turning around he was obviously surprised to see me "Tower Master? What are you doing here" 

"I have come to inform you that Go Rehi is leaving" 

"I heard. It's a shame to lose a high level climber" 

"Yes and with him gone the vice guild master position will be open" 

"Me?" he said figuring it out. 

"Yes, during the discussion your name came up as a candidate" 

"I would be honored" 

"Then let's get going" I said, grabbing his shoulder. 

Brushing out of my grasp he said "Just give me a moment to give my companions some instruction" 

"Sure go ahead" 

It took a few minutes but he soon returned back towards me "Im ready" 

"Alright then" grabbing his shoulder I immediately brought both of us back to the guild masters office. 

"Your back," Goshen replied. 

Looking around I noticed someone missing "Where is Go Rehi" 

"He left to get ready for his departure. He is taking your recommendation of visiting other places in the earth kingdom rather seriously" He replied "Now Sarak I believe you have been informed of the offer" 

Stepping forward Sarak said "Yes guild master. I would be honored to take the position" 

"Then we have much to talk about," Goshen replied. 

Stepping forward to get their attention I informed them "I will be leaving now, I have a long overdue visit to make" 

"Thank you for bringing Sarak here" 

"No problem" 

Stepping out of the room I transported myself to the fifth floor specifically to the safe zone. Looking around I spotted the large cabin that He Tun and his family have made their home. Approaching, I knocked on the door and waited for an answer. 

Analay opened the door "Callum, what are you doing here" 

"I came to visit," I said, opening her status. 

Name: Analay

Class: Healer

"Oh, where are my manors, come inside" she invited. 

"Thanks" I said, stepping through the door and closing it behind me "Where is He Tun and the boys?" 

"The boys are on the next floor and He Tun is hinting for dinner with Tyro" 

"The kid?"

"He just wanted to spend some time with his son. Not like he can't protect him here" 

"True" 

"I just wanted to check in on your guys see if anyone is giving you any trouble" 

"They can't hurt us here"

"True but that isn't the only way to cause trouble" 

"True, no, no one is giving us trouble. That fire nation commander has put in some effort making sure were left alone"

"Yeah, Zhao is good at getting on someone's good side when he wants to be" 

"I expected as much"

Looking around the the cabin I noticed despite it being nice it was still a little primitive "How about I give you an upgrade" 

"An upgrade?" 

Waving my hand I watched as the cabin stretched to be bigger. More rooms were added and the wood smoothed out to look nicer. I changed the room to have some shingles and even added a chimney in the front room. 

"There we go," I said. 

Looking around in wonder, Analay said "Thank you Callum this is quite nice. I sometimes forget what you can do" 

"You guys were the first ones in my tower so I am a good bit more familiar. It's a lot easier to act normal around you guys" 

Laughing she responded "Thank you for the compliment, Callum. Would you like to stay for dinner?" 

"No thanks. I need to go see Go Rehi and Zhao off. It is about time for them to be leaving" 

"Well thank you again and stop by anytime" 

"Sure" I said before transporting myself to the town's front gate. Turning my head I spotted Go Rehi's and Zhao's separate groups packing up their final provisions right near the gate. Approaching them they finally saw me. 

"Come to see us off Tower Master" Go Rehi said, getting everyone's attention. 

"Yes. My two highest climbers are leaving" I replied. 

"Thank you Tower, Master," Zhao said, giving me the standard fire nation bow showing some humility for once. Though I doubt it was real. 

"No problem. I am looking forward to when you return. In fact here" 

[Quest] 

[Return to the tower: The Tower Master himself is looking forward to your return. Complete your duties and come back] 

[Rewards: 150 XP] 

Standing speechless both quickly said thank you. 

"Now remember after you leave my territory you will lose access to your status, though you won't lose your powers, or equipment benefits you simply won't be able to look at your stats and skills" I explained. 

"I appreciate the warning," Go Rehi replied. 

"Now I think it's time for you to go. I will see you all again" 

Watching both groups break off in two directions I waited till they were a mile from the town before I turned and walked back into the town closing the gates behind me.
