Chapter 1: The New Girl in Town
"Here we are again, back in Republic City."
The young girl named Femke told her bound Elf Floxy as they stepped out of a taxi and paid the driver. The man looked at her with a strange look on his face because he couldn't see the little creature sitting on her shoulder.
"That's great, but maybe don't talk to me out loud because they might start staring."
Femke looked at the man who was staring at her and smiled kindly. The man shrugged and continued on. She walked straight to Air Temple Island where she knew Avatar Aang was living with Katara and their little family. She had seen them once when they were still very young but after that she had been gone for a long time, and unknown to her, the time streams in the magix and this dimension were so different that forty-two years had past in this world since she was last here.
Femke's POV
"I'm sorry, Sir, Can you tell me how I can get to Air Temple Island?"
I asked a nearby man. He looked at me before he pointed me into the right direction. I thanked him and walked in the direction he pointed out to me. I almost ran to the direction, I couldn't wait to see my friends again, I had so much to tell them. I'm finally a Believix fairy and saved the world twice. People were staring at me as I did and Floxy just stuck out his tongue at them.
"Floxy, behave yourself or I'll turn you visible."
I said as I petted him tenderly. When I entered the living room of the Air Temple, I saw strangers sitting at the table.
"Excuse me? Is this where Avatar Aang lives?"
I asked a bit unsure. A man that looked a lot like Aang looked at the woman next to him, confused.
"My father, Avatar Aang, died many years ago, didn't you know that?"
I shook my head, as tears started to form in my eyes. I wiped them away and tried to think how this could be. I was here three years ago. Did he only die in that period of time? Why was his son all grown up now? Last time I saw him he was just a baby.
"And the other members of Team Avatar?"
I asked a bit unsure. I hoped some of them were still here. Maybe they could tell me how much time passed since I last was here and what happened in that time. Just when the man was about to answer someone else interrupted him.
"Excuse me?"
A man with his hair in three parts asked from behind me. I smiled when I looked into his eyes. He smiled back at me a bit shy, and I could see he blushed a little.
"This is my home, Tarrlok. We're about to eat dinner."
So his name is Tarrlok. Sounds nice. he looked very nice too, even do he's acting a little too polite for my taste.
"Good, because I am absolutely famished. Airbenders never turn away a hungry guest, am I right? Is this beautiful young lady eating with us as well?"
He asked, pointing at me. I blushed and looked at the man with a kind smile. He nodded and I sat down next to a strong looking water tribe girl. I saw Tarrlok approach her as well.
"You must be Avatar Korra. It's truly an honor. I am Councilman Tarrlok, Representative from the Northern Water Tribe." He said as he bowed to her. So she was the new Avatar and the reincarnation of Avatar Aang? I looked at her, stunned and got up again, getting next to Tarrlok imitating what he did.
"And I'm Femke, a firebender and a fairy. Honored to meet you, Avatar Korra."
I said as I put out my hand to shake hers. I saw she looked at my hand with a raised eyebrow. I quickly realized that it wasn't normal to shake hands in this dimension. In this dimension they bowed. I had been away for so long I almost forgot that.
"Nice try but If you want to try acting like you belong here you better study the ways of this dimension better" Floxy said. I looked at him with a teasing smile.
"Shut your mouth and turn yourself visible so our friends can see you as well."
I said as I saw everyone looking at me, confused. I blushed a bit, knowing it looked like I was talking to myself for them.
"I'm talking to my partner; Floxy, he is an Elf, that's why you can't see him." I said as I used a little bit of my magic to turn him visible. I saw everyone look at him, shocked.
Tarrlok's POV
When I entered Tenzin's house I had never expected this beautiful young lady to be with him. She looked a little bit strange with her earthbending clothes, though. She said she was a fairy. I have no Idea what that might be. On her shoulder stood a strange, Spirit-like creature. He was very small, with a shot of purple hair with blue stripes into it. He wore dark clothes that had seen better days, but he smiled kindly at us as he waved at me as if I was the only one who saw him. I was about to wave back when I thought I better didn't.
"Nice try but If you want to try acting like you belong here you better study the ways of this dimension better."
The little Spirit said to Femke with a teasing smile.
"Shut your mouth and turn yourself visible so our friends can see you as well."
Everyone now looked at Femke, confused. I saw she blushed a bit. I didn't know what she meant with 'so the others can see you as well' because I already saw him. Didn't the others. She now used a strange beam of light and when I looked around I saw all eyes grew wide.
"This is Floxy."
My eyes grew wide. Only fairies could see this Spirit? Does that mean I'm a fairy as well? I could see him all this time.
Femke's POV
Tarrlok looked at me with widened eyes when I told people only fairies could see Floxy and I wondered why. After that we all sat down and Tarrlok started to flatter Korra with all kinds of compliments because he wanted her to join his Task Force. I didn't know what it was for, but I doubted it was for anything good.
"I need someone who will help me attack Amon directly. Someone who is fearless in the face of danger, and that someone might be you."
Tarrlok said with a kind smile to Korra. I wondered who this Amon guy was and what he has done that was so bad that he needed a direct attack, but left the question for later. Korra refused and Tarrlok left. First I wanted to ask this man called Tenzin earlier on what happened to the other members of Team Avatar, but knew it was better to follow Tarrlok first. Maybe he knew as much as Tenzin did about Team Avatar and maybe I could also ask why he was so shocked when I told everyone only fairies could see Floxy.
"Would you please watch Floxy? I got to do something for a minute."
I said as I placed Floxy on the table and ran after Tarrlok. He was just putting on his coat in the hallway ready to leave when I approached him.
"Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?"
I asked as I grabbed his arm. I looked back and saw Tenzin and the others looking at us.
"In private."
I said with a stern look. Tenzin looked at me with narrowed eyes. I was almost one hundred percent sure that he did not trust me at the time. Tarrok shrugged, as we walked out together.
Tarrlok's POV
"How can I help you?"
I asked a bit put off. Normally everyone eyed me with a frown, except my father who liked to scold at me because Noatak was much stronger than I was.
"I was wondering why you looked so surprised when I told everyone that only fairies can see Floxy?" She asked a bit unsure.
"That is because..."
I wasn't sure if I should tell her that I already saw Floxy before. I did not want to embarrass myself in front of this new girl. She had something mysterious.
"Come on, you can tell me what's the matter." She said with a kind smile. She really was special.
"I could see your friend before you turned him visible." I said as she looked at me, stunned.
"That's impossible. Only a fairy can see them without the visibility charm I used."
She told me. I looked at Floxy who had come after Femke while we were talking and looked at me with a worried expression. "Femke, could it be?"
Femke looked at him, her eyes grew wide when she realized what he tried to point out.
"Well, it isn't completely impossible. But I never heard of it before."
She said with overthinking look. I looked at her, stunned, before my eyes widened in realization.
"You mean I am a…?"
I didn't have to say the word because Femke already nodded with a bright smile on her face.
"There is no other explanation how you could see Floxy without that charm. You must be a fairy. Just like me."
She said still smiling brightly. I looked at her, stunned. This wasn't possible, this had to be a dream.
