My Light

by Demona Evernight

"The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all." - Fa Zhou Huan may have been an artist, an individualist, but he was blind to all. He never realized someone was always there for him when he needed them most. Never realized how she took care of him in such subtle ways. He never realized until he saw her light almost fade away.

I don't own any of the abilities or characters from Legend of Korra or Avatar the Last Airbender, just my Oc (Yanyu)

I am an Earthbender, a Sandbender, but most importantly I am a Glassbender, it was this last ability that terrified my parents the most. I came from a family of mostly non-benders. There were a few benders here and there, but no one of any real importance or skill so it came to my parents as a shock when they saw me playing with the pebbles and sand by the stream near out home.

Earthbending masters are more easily found, there a dime a dozen each with there own certain style and flair, but Sandbenders, true masters, could only be found in one place.

The Si Wong Desert, the only true settlement there was Laobao the glass city. My family lived there for five years while I learned to control my bending. It was during this time I found my passion in Glassbending.

Making pieces that when the light hits it a indescribable amount of colors and light pours out became the world to me.

My parents moved again once my training had been considered complete. They couldn't stand the heat and desolation of the desert, but my bending was still incomplete and I still needed masters to practice with. So we moved to the one place on Earth where I would never lack a master Zaofu the metal city.

I've now lived in Zaofu for ten years and have come to love it here...and someone, but despite our distant friendship...he doesn't even know I exist...not really anyway.

But I still hold out hope that maybe...maybe someday he'll notice...I'm here. I've always been here for him. Huan.
