The pack

"Hey I'm going on a ride with Naga" Korra calls up to the guard posted at the gate. An questioned look clearly on his face " And no I'm not going to far." An annoyed look clear on her face. Eventually he opens the gate for her and Korra passes through. "why can't the ever trust me, Aang was only an year older when he ended the war "

When she was finally out of sight from the guards, her spirit lifted up again. She always felt trapped at the compound where everything she did was always controlled by the white lotus sentries. Only when she went on rides with Naga like this she could and felt truly free.

The ride was calm whit an clear sky and small breeze, when Naga suddenly changes course "Hey what's wrong girl. What did you find." Trusting Naga's tracking she led herself be led by the polar bear dog. 'what could have left an trail that got Naga so excited.'

It only took Naga a few minutes to reach the end of the trail. Korra descent from Naga and starts looking around to see what got Naga so excited. At first the only thing she saw some snow hills and caves, not something al too special at the south pole. "There is nothing here girl" but as she was about to remount Naga she spotted an shadowy figure standing upon on of the smaller hills. "You think he sees us Naga." Just as she looked back towards the figure an arrow landed only a few feet away of her.

"What do you and that beast of yours want!" the figure yelled at her.

Not wanting to find out want the man was going to do with them and what he was capable of Korra reacted fast, shooting several fireballs at the figure.

Seeing the fireballs coming from afar the stranger had an easy time dodging them. "so a fire bender at the south pole. That's an new one" he called at her while closing the distant between the two.

Seeing that the distant between them decreased vastly, panic struck Korra and in a moment of pure desperation she shot the largest amount of fire she ever had. Not being able to dodge such an projectile at such small range the stranger was hit dead on. But the force of the blast was too much for Korra to handle as she was knocked backwards.

Recovering as fast as she could hoping to have defeated her attacker Korra's hopes were immediately proven wrong. As in front of here the stranger stood, be it only barely with an arrow aimed straight towards here.

"Call down that beast" he ordered her, as Korra looked at Naga who was about to jump straight at the attacker. "NOW"

"Naga stay." she ordered quickly before something could happen to her only friend. Luckily Naga obeyed her command, although this didn't withhold her from growling and cleansing her teeth at the stranger.

Korra brought her attention back to the figure ones she was sure that Naga wouldn't try anything. She was shocked to see on the place her attacker stood, an boy around her age stood holding an tied grip on the bow. The hood that had covered his face during the fight has been blown of, most likely because of that final blast Korra send to him. This revealed that he was only just a kid like she was. His hair was of medium length, messy and dark brown of cover. she could easily she that he didn't pay much attention to it as it hang down. When she looked directly into his eyes she was shocked. They were grey of color and looked like they hold winter within them, they also had an glow over them that she could only describe as an look of pure cold like nothing she had ever seen.

"I will ask again. Who are you and what do you want?" she was pulled right from her thoughts as he spoke to her and it cost her some trouble to gather herself together.

"My…. My name….. I'm Korra and I was just…"

"You were just what?" he sked her, his voice drenched by calmness and a slight cold undertone. But also thought it held something of curiosity, but she soon dropped the idea as she realized who she was talking to.

"Speak up." Korra was once again shot right out of her thoughts by this boy in as many minutes. "Me and Naga were just on a walk. We weren't looking for any trouble"

"Then continue on with your walk." he basically ordered her.

Slowly Korra walked back towards Naga, not daring to take her eyes of him afraid he would shoot his arrow when she did. She was about to re-mount Naga when something stopped her in her tracks… curiosity. Something about the stranger intrigued her. 'Why am I standing still, I should get the hell out of here now I still can.' Turning around she tries to put on a determined face. "I gave you mine name, but what's yours?"

This caught him of guard and Korra could see this clearly, but he quickly recovers. "that's none of your business." He scowled to her.

This struck an nerve at Korra. "what's wrong with you, can't you be even a little bit nice to someone for on…"

"Shhh". This was the only reaction she got. Now she was done with him. "How dare you to shush me, don't you know who I am"

"you'll be snow Leopard lunch if you don't shut up." Korra followed the direction towards he was pointing to see what he was talking about. And to her dismay she saw a group of eight Leopards making their way towards them.

She froze. 'No, not this everything but this.' Images flew by her in her head, none of her limbs doing anything she want them to do. She could do nothing but to watch the group come closer and closer. Then she saw him running past her directly at their attackers, firing arrows as he sprinted to meet them dead on. 'what's he doing, we should run. He should run.' She stared in disbelief as she saw him taking one of them down before they reached him. Only for him to pull a knife and take the fight to them. 'why is he helping me, defending me. He was about to kill me mere minutes ago. Or was he…'

She saw one of the leopards jump upon him and fear struck her thinking the fight was over. She was only in for an surprise as she saw him dodge the attack by ducking under him, holding his knife up and delivering a nasty gut on the animals belly. Turning around in a blink of an eye he rolled over the body of the wounded animal, stabbing the beast in the trough while doing it delivering the Kill shot. "what's wrong with me. I'm the avatar for crying out loud and I'm afraid to take the fight to some animals. Even an none bender puts up an better fight then I do" She scowled to herself in an hushed tone.

Then out of nowhere she started running. She wasn't going to turn her back on someone who needed her help. She headed straight towards the fight, bending the snow around her to water. Then she came to an abrupt stop shooting the water she bended around herself at the predators as icicles, hitting two and barely missing the boy.

She locked eyes with the boy and saw pure disbelief clearly visible. Unfortunately for him, the fact that Korra could both bend fire and water made him lose his focus. One of the leopards saw this opening and leaped in for an attack. Not seeing the attack coming made that the boy had no way to evade the attack and the predator caught his arm. Farouche shocking the hand back and forth before Korra managed to blast him of with an fire blast.

She quickly took two other of the leopards out with water bending. Seeing this the last of them decided to run for his life.

"WHAO. Yeah you don't mess with us." A smile clearly visible on her face. "hey we actually make a great te…"turning around she sees the boy lying unconscious in the snow. "Are u alright" she screams running to his side. She turns his body around and sees the large wound the leopard bite left on his arm. 'What do I do? I can't take him to the compound he may not make it so long.' She looked around an worried look on her face. Then she spots one of the ice caves. Think fast she lays the boy on the back of Naga and runs towards the cave. Ones there she starts an fire with some of the stuff the boy was carrying with him. 'he sure was equipped for survival. Maybe he got some medical equipment with him?' quickly scanning the bag he carried with him the only thing she found were some bandages. "what am I going to do now?" 'I can try to heal him with water bending… but I never done that before.' She knew she had to handle fast or it would be too late.

Deciding there is no other option she gathers the cleanest snow she can find and brought it to its liquated form. "here goes nothing" as she brings the water towards the wound she doesn't dare to watch, but when an light begins to shine from her hands and she sees the wound slowly healing and skin cover the ones bleeding flesh.

Seeing that the wound was finally healed she took a step back and sat around the fire. Being able to really calm herself for once since she met this strange boy, she felt an wave off relieve fall upon her. Being completely calmed down again she watches the boys unconscious body. To her surprise the face that seemed so cold and hostile to her for this entire time, was now peaceful and even a little bit friendly. "why couldn't be like that when we met?"

"Because I couldn't trust you yet" she heard him say, surprisingly her deeply and making her blush lightly. Not because of the fact that he clearly heard everything she said, but because the commanding cold voice he used to her for this entire time was replaced by a voice that was kind without losing the calmness he had for this entire time. 'Maybe he isn't as bad as he looks'

"And to answerer your question Avatar Korra my name is Tikaan."
