Hello there!
It's been a while since I wrote. You guys want more Red Lotus fics? I'll try and write more :)
I'm in college and my load is pretty much full. I got plates (artworks) to do, not to mention reports and research work too. I'm either reblogging during design workshop class or getting ideas from songs.
I'm actually wondering if I'm the only one who cried when P'Li died and was a bit bitter when Zaheer already said "Let go of your earthly tether." But hey, I'm pretty loyal to this ship and MingZan.
Disclaimer: I do not own Legend of Korra. Nick, Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino do.

Part 1 of His Earthly Tether: The Locket
The sunlight's rays penetrated the windows. They were enough to wake me up. The rising heat of the day surged through me, giving power to my bending.
My eyes scanned the room. I turned to my left and found out he wasn't there anymore. He must be in the living room, already meditating, finding out what our next move should be. I rose from the bed and fixed it. Who knows, someone might use this place as a hideout again.
I fixed myself up, wore my gear for battle. How I missed wearing these. The cold in the North Pole forced me to wear layers of rags. They weren't even comfortable. Those White Lotus bastards forced me into slipping in them or else I'll be freezing to death in that gigantic cooler. They're no different from those guards that kept me locked up unless the warlord needed me.
I looked at my reflection. It's been thirteen years but that doesn't mean I feel old. I'm never too old to join a revolution and be with the man I love. I fixed my braid and felt the shaved sides. Zaheer was right. It does feel more airy. I smiled as I remembered his face when I reached for that blue object that he uses to shave his hair. I picked it up and shaved mine as well. He was shocked at first then he smiled when I told him:
"We're in this together."
My spaulders were on the bed, ready for attachment until I saw a glint on the bedside table. I walked towards it and picked it up. I saw a figure in the middle, an air nomad. He must have gotten this from his infiltration yesterday. I opened the locket and read the inscription.
"Let go of your earthly tether
Enter the void
Empty and become wind."
Earthly tether?
What did he mean by "earthly tether"?

I'm sorry it's short. It was meant to be short. Chapter 2, coming up :)
