Chapter 1

Korra awoke in a cold sweat, her eyes wide from what she had just saw. She lifted the sheets off of her and swung her legs off the bed and made to stand, careful not to desturb a sleeping Asami, fliching as a hand gently grabbed her wrist. Slumping her shoulders she turned around to face the worried eyes of her wife.

"Korra, you need to see Tenzin." Asami urged. "You know they've been becoming more frequent. This is the third time this week. You shouldn't be having nightmares about something that you've come to terms with, let alone something that happend eight years ago."

Korra grimiced at the memory, though realizing she wouldn't be able to keep hidden what the nightmares were really showing her now that Asami had directly addressed what they were about.

"I know." Korra replied. She got up from the bed and moved to the dresser to change out of her bed-cloths.

"You're going now? Sweetie, it's two o'clock in the morning." Asami looked at her, genuinly confused on why it couldn't wait until later.

"Asami, there is something I need to tell you." Korra breathed as she prepared herself for what was about to be said.

"Korra, you know you can tell me anything." Asami said, now more concerned then anything.

"The dreams, they're not about Zaheer."

"Korra, why didn't you come to me sooner?" While Tenzin was not particularly happy from being woken from an unusual restful slumber, this was something that obviously needed immediate attention.

"I know I should have come to you sooner, but I just thought it was a passing thing; something to do with, I dunno, the full moon?" Korra retorted.

"Korra, you just said that they began two years ago. How can you possibly attribute the cycle of the moon to that." Tenzin replied, too tired for the Avatar's antics. "Just start by telling me about the dreams; what are they depicting."

Korra took a breath. "They all show the same thing, but tonight was different."

"Then start there." Tenzin advised.

Korra breathed again, and started from the beginning.

"I'm standing in a room. It's fairly large, the walls are made of stone and the ceiling and door are platinum. The air inside is almost completely dry, and there are scorch marks on almost all of the surfaces, along with blood. The floor along the back of the room is a metal grate; I can feel water sitting beneath." Korra chokes in the meditative state. "The water smells like rotting wolfbats, and sewage." Korra breaths, then continues. "On the grate there is a boy, he doesn't look much younger than Jinora. He is chained down to the grate, his hands behind him. There is a line of scales twising down his right arm to his shoulder, where it branches off to spiral down is back and up his neck. His hair is the color of hay, his eyes are blue. A man is entering the room. He approches the boy, and injects something into his neck that causes his puples to dialate. The man leaves the room, and I see a lotus flower painted on the wall outside. Another man enters. He starts making motions that appear to be bloodbending techniques, but there is no reaction from the boy. Wait." Korra starts to sweat as she continues. "The man is bending what ever was injected into the boy through the boy's head. The boy starts shaking his head side to side, as if trying to escape an unpleasent sound. The man makes one final motion with his hands and then hold is hands in front of him, like he is hold something in place. The boy stiffens where he is kneeling, his back arches and he throws his head back." Tears start streaming down Korra's face. "The boy is screaming. And then, nothing. The boy relaxes where he is kneeling, and lifts his head. His eyes roll to the back of his head, and when they return, they appear lifeless, like all of his previous person is gone. Then it goes black, and I hear a voice. It fills the void with warmth but it feels emty all the same. A spirit, I think."

"What did the the voice say." Tenzin's features are perferated with worry.

"I-It said that he has been broken."
