Into the Furnace
(A "The Legend of Korra" Fanfiction)
Chapter 1
The world has changed. After her victory over Unalaq, Avatar Korra made the decision to let spirits and humans coexist on the same plane. The greatest danger the world had ever faced was gone so no cared about the fact humanity would have to live with spirits roaming around the world now. They wanted to celebrate. Parades and grand balls were in order. Though one thing did sadden the celebrators, the Avatar was not present. Many wondered where she was, some even demanded her presence but the only thing on Korra's mind was rest. She secluded herself surrounded by her close friends and family in South Pole. They had their own celebration, one that was heartwarming. "This is bliss", Korra thought to herself as she glanced around the room at her friends and family. They were busy having their own conversations. Kya was telling Ikki and Meelo embarrassing stories about their father, who was too busy asking talking to Pema, who was holding the latest child, Rohan. Bumi was fascinating Bolin with his war stories that seemed far-fetched for Korra's taste. Her father and mother were conversing over the great food. Asami was on the phone for "Business" and Mako and Lin were in Republic City to watch over their parties and parades. "This is indeed bliss." Korra quietly told herself. She felt a pinch on her shoulder. She glanced to see Jinora staring up at her. "Are you okay?" she asked Korra, who scooped up Jinora into a hug and stated "I am actually thanks for asking." Jinora returned the hug and went her merry way. Korra reflected on the events from just a few days ago. The harmonic convergence and the temporary separation between her and Raava still were at the forefront of her mind. She closed her eyes and shook her head to get rid of the horrifying images. When she opened them in front of her stood Bolin. "Come on Korra lighten up!" he said as he stuffed Korra's face with food. Korra couldn't help but smile. Yes this was indeed bliss, she thought to herself again. Outside the house, on top of a hilltop stood three figures. Two wore dark green cloaks and on wore a dark red cloak. "Avatar Korra. finally." The one in red said with a glee. "Shall we begin?"
