Chapter 1

Ring Ring Ring!

Korra leaped up from day dreaming. She walked over to the counter in her room. Varrick had invented a brand new device that could allow people to talk to one another almost instantly. He called it The Ringer. He had one installed in all the important rooms on Air Temple Island, as well as Korra's room upon her request. She picked it up.

"Hello?" Korra answered

"Hey. It's Asami." Asami replied in an almost Melancholy tone. Korra knew something was on her mind and it wasn't going to be pleasant. "Can we talk?"

"Of course. What do you want to talk about?" .

"I can't say it over a Ringer. Meet me at the pier near the Pro-Bending arena in an hour." Asami Replied hastily.

"Asami are you okay?" Korra was beginning to realize the subject that Asami was going to bring up.

"I don't know. See you there." Asami hung up. Korra wasn't even worried anymore. She knew exactly what was going to happen.

Ever since Asami and her got back from their vacation from the spirit world, their relationship had been deteriorating.

Yes, there hadn't been any immediate threats after Kuvira's siege of Republic City but their responsibilities in their respective careers had torn them apart. Korra started working with Lin and Mako to help combat the increasing gang activity in the areas hit most hard by Kuvira's attacks and Asami, being the full fledged CEO of Future Industries after her late father, took everything on her shoulders at once.

They loved each other, that was evident. But the amount of work they both had was detrimental on their relationship. They had numerous fights, yelling matches that startled everyone in their vicinity when they happened. They had numerous sorrys that were said throughout the lifespan of their relationship, but they both knew things were just not meant to be between them.

Korra couldn't deal with the amount of pressure that was caused by their relationship and Asami had her own demons too.

Korra decided to leave Naga and take a ferry to Republic City. From there she would simply walk to Asami, trying to prolong the inevitable.

"Don't worry girl I'll only be gone for two hours." Korra said sympathetically to Naga as she rubbed his ears. Naga whimpered, seemingly understanding what the Avatar had said.

She probably did.

Naga was an extremely intelligent Polar Bear-Dog. She had been Korra's companion for the longest time and knew her better than anyone.

Asami stood at the pier, which was adjacent to the Pro-Bending Arena.

So many memories here. She smiled to herself. This was where she first met Korra. They had both hated each other back then since they were basically fighting over Mako. And now they were dating. Were they dating?

She couldn't decide if it was right to use that word to describe their relationship or not. Her heart was aching.

Partly because of what was about to happen, but also because of her father. She had finally reconciled with her father, but lost him way too soon. She still had nightmares of how he died.

She watched helplessly as he flipped the ejection switch for her.

She flailed out her arms to try and grasp the mecha suit, but to no avail.

She watched him look back at her and smile, with a single tear running down his face, glistening from the shine of the sun.

She watched him finish the entry hole to siege Kuvira's giant robot.

She watched his life get cut short in a matter of seconds, as the robot's hand came and squashed her dad's mecha suit like a fly.

The last family she had was gone in an instant, and she hadn't quite gotten over it yet. The pain was unbearable sometimes, but she soldiered on. That's what her father would have wanted for her. Asami looked behind her.

It was Korra.

She was walking slowly towards her, hands in her pockets, looking downwards.

She obviously knew what was about to happen.

"Hey Asami."

"Hi Korra."

"Listen Korra, we need to talk about some things. Our relationship isn't going to work." Asami almost couldn't believe she said those words. She loved Korra but she couldn't go on living like this.

"Yeah I know. I was about to say the same thing to you." Korra said apologetically.

Asami visibly eased up. She was partly glad that the feeling was mutual, but at the same time deeply saddened by the fact that things had come to this.

"I'm glad that this didn't turn into a messy ordeal Korra. I want you to know that I'll always love you no matter what." Asami said softly. She took Korra's hands in her own and Korra didn't stop her.

"Me too. I didn't think that I'd be able to handle an emotional break down."

"You can handle anything Korra. You're the Avatar." Asami said jokingly.

Korra giggled softly, "I guess but this is different. You know I'm terrible at handling my emotions."

"I'm sorry it had to come to this Korra. It was good while it lasted." Asami barely managed to say, feeling the wells that contained her tears beginning to break down.

Korra could see Asami's jade green eyes start to shine more than usual. She was about to cry.

"Me too Asami. I'll always love you." Korra replied, tears running down her face. She grabbed Asami into an embrace and cried softly into her raven black hair. Asami herself broke down and cried as their embrace seemingly lasted forever.

"I gotta get back to Air Temple Island. I didn't tell Tenzin that I was heading out and he's probably looking for me right now."

"I understand. Bye Korra."

"Bye Asami." Korra barely managed as she briskly ran off. Just like that, it was over.

Korra walked quickly to her room. She didn't know how much longer she could keep her tears in her eyes. She didn't want everyone to see her all sad and depressed. As she turned the corner to her room, Tenzin appeared.

"Korra where were you? I couldn't find you. I was worried." Tenzin said in a concerned manner. He noticed the dry tear streaks on her face and knew something had happened.

"Nothing I was just out in the city for a bit." She spat out, immediately regretting the tone she used. Tenzin hadn't done anything wrong. He was just looking out for her well being.

"Korra what's wrong." Tenzin replied, toning down his voice. She was clearly hurting.

"Nothing Tenzin. Leave me alone."

Tenzin sighed. "Korra. When something is bothering you, it is always best to talk about it. It helps soothe the pain." He put a hand on her shoulder.

"Asami and I broke up. It's over." She barely managed before breaking down. Her knees gave away and her hands immediately came to her face, trying to contain the torrent of tears.

Tenzin immediately put his arms around her and brought her head towards her chest. He rubbed Korra's shoulder with his hands to try and calm her down.

"Korra it's ok. I'm here for you." Tenzin lead Korra to her room and helped her into her bed.

"Do you want a glass of water?"

"No thanks."

"Korra it's going to be alright. You're going to get through this. I believe in you. Try to get some rest. I'll see you in the morning." Tenzin gave an understanding smile and closed the door softly.

Korra waited until she could no longer hear his footsteps.

She began crying again.

She stuffed her face into her pillow and cried until she slowly fell asleep.
