Commissioned by =Destiny-Smasher for the Toph-centric project 'Esteemed':

Thank you! o/

Comment from the Commissioner:

warning: the following paragraph may contain spoilers for the Legend of Korra
This depicts the moments after Yakone has escaped his trial, as shown in Legend of Korra 1x09, 'Out of the Past.' Toph's earthbending senses take a minute to fully come back, so Sokka, her lover and Lin's stepdad-figure, helps her regain her bearings.

No. Damnit. Argh, no. What had Yakone done with Aang? Taken him hostage?

"Gurgh...Bastard...We have to...-" Toph's feet finally touched the ground, and her heart skipped a beat: she could hardly feel anything. She scrunched up her toes, and slid her right foot along the stone floor. The world was all a haze, still trying to assume its forms around her.

"Hey, take it easy," Sokka insisted, gripping her tight.

"Take it easy?" Toph growled out. "There's a madman out there, and...-" Her brain was dunked in a well of guilt. What if Aang had been captured? Or worse? She was supposed to protect this city and its people. If the Avatar - her dear friend - had been hurt...how would she be able to forgive her own shortcomings?
