Drifting forth

'… ' = thoughts

"….. " = speaking out loud

'Back and forth, back and forth. All day long , night in and night out.'

'Not that I mind, the ocean speaks to me through her waves. She tells me that my choice is a right one, that my destiny laisse ahead of me and not on the south pole. Even though I'm on a ship surrounded by metal , I can still feel the ocean and it's movement. She is all around me and as my guide she tells me what direction I should take. I could just as easily jump in the water, into her embracement and let myself drift towards my destiny.'

'But what will it hold for me? Am I strong enough or…. Of course I am, I'm the avatar for crying out loud. I can't be stopped.'

'Or can I'

A Silence fell on the cargo hold.

'No one can ever see me like this , no one can now of my doubts or fears. I need to be strong the whole world counts on me.' "But on who can I count"

'I'm Aang's legacy and I will hold that up. I will bring balance to this world.' "but who will bring balance to me"

"STOP THINKING LIKE THAT" she screams while streams of fire shoot from her hands. Falling to her knees she can't contain her tears anymore. They drip from her face and onto the metal floor of the ship. Anyone who knows Korra wouldn't be able to tell what they were seeing. The normally strong and mighty avatar looks… vulnerable.

She just sat there all alone with only the company of the sounds of the waves and her own sobbing.

"I'm still only a child how can I be the protector of the world" At this moment all the doubt she ever had since knowing that she was the avatar clouded her mind, and there were a lot of them.

"I'm an decrease. Aang was probably never scared during the war" punching the floor angry at herself for her own doubt. She hates it when people doubt her ,but she hates it even more when she doubts herself

"But of course I was, we all were at some point"

Upon hearing this her head shot up, "Who said that. Show yourself." She yelled looking around

"Nobody but I could swear….."

The feeling of loneliness slowly fading away, and the doubt that clouded her drifted away. But her fears and doubt would never completely left her.

Standing up and wiping away the last of her tears, she looks through one of the small windows. She is just in time to see the sun rising signaling for the dawn of a new day.

But for Korra it is another sign. It was the dawn of an new era for her. No longer would she be hidden from the world at that compound in the south. From now on she would face the world and fulfill her duties. "I'm the avatar, I am avatar Korra and no matter what lays in front of me I will face and conquer it.
