Chapter 1
We start off on the first night of the Glacier Spirits Festival. Right after Korra just won the air bison and then headed to bed that night.
Naga lifted her head in attention to something. She got up and walked outside, waking Korra in the process. "Naga, what are you doing?" Korra asked, sitting with her eyes still closed. Not very long after her question she heard Naga howling outside. "Naga hush." Korra said rushing outside to stop the polar bear dog. There, Naga howled on the cliff in front of the huts. Korra rushed to Naga's side and whispered "Quiet Naga, You'll wake everyone up."
But in response, Korra got a lick from her and she continued to howl into the distance. Bolin and Mako came out of their own huts and Bolin yawned "What's going on?" In the distance, Korra saw something rising out of the snow. She couldn't get a clear view of it with the falling snow. The thing rising in out of the snow was purple, almost black and started to take a form of something. "What… is… that?" Korra said to herself watching what was just described.
It stood in place for a moment before it rushed at a tremendous speed towards Korra. The thing kicked her and sent her flying and almost brought her back to her own hut if she didn't hit a small drop off wall behind her. The creature grabbed Korra by the arms and held them against her; unknown to her the creature was a spirit. The spirit opened its mouth, about to bite Korra before getting a blast of fire on its side. Mako sent fire balls, as Bolin slide on the snow and shouted "Got it!" before sending a growing wall of earth towards the spirit.
The spirit jumped to its right, dodging the wall of earth and dodged an incoming fireball and got closer to the brothers. "Don't, got it!" Bolin shouted as he and Mako were kicked off their feet and rolled down hill, away from the spirit. Korra's parents and Tenzin came out of their huts to see Mako and Bolin as they came to stop, before rushing over to help them. Korra got up and regained her bearings and ran towards the spirit as it turned in time to dodge a fire-kick. She sent a fireball and it dodged it, getting closer like with Mako and Bolin; another fireball, but the spirit jumped into the air and was about to pounce on Korra.
"Korra!" Tonraq said as he rode on a wall of snow and ice towards the two fighters. He circled around the spirit and started to create walls of ice around it. But the little prison did not hold for long as the spirit broke through the top and used tentacle like arms and grabbed onto Korra's father and Korra before sending them in opposite directions. Korra slid next to the fence that surrounded the festival. The tentacles retracted back into the prison before the spirit broke free. Tenzin jumped onto the cliff and asked the Spirit, "Spirit, why are you angry with us? What have we done to offend you?" The spirit stopped for a moment and turned to face Tenzin, as if he cared.
The spirit was calm for only a slight moment, before it lashed out at Tenzin and sent him flying into the distance; back at his family's own hut. Korra got up once more, took a deep breath, put a fist in an open hand and went into the avatar state. The spirit was fast and made the long distance into a short one in a matter of seconds. Korra lifted slightly off the ground and launched herself away on a tunnel of air from the spirit, before it tried to land on her. The spirit slid into the festival uncontrollably; when it got its footing it was shot with several long flames from Korra as she circled around the spirit, taking all opportunities possible.
The spirit reached out with a tentacle and grabbed Korra and slammed her into the ground and on top of some boxes. Her concentration on the Avatar State broke and she tried regain herself from the damage. But the spirit had already moved in and was about to deal the final blow on Korra. When something happened, a white blur came into sight and grabbed hold of the spirit and sent it flying to the ground. The spirit was on its back as someone in a white hooded trench coat, punched it in the face several times. It seemed to have worked as the spirit gave little inhuman screams and grunts of pain.
The spirit managed to push the person off and flipped the tables as the person was on its back. The spirit made spears out of its arms and tried to stab the person. But the hooded person rolled out of the way, or pushed them out of the way with their hands, sometimes the person would get a few jabs in the spirit. The spirit placed two spears so he/she could not roll out of the way and raised a spear-arm above the person. It brought the spear down, but the person caught it with their bare hands and stopped the impalement.
Suddenly, water started to rise around the spirit and it soon lost attention of the person at hand. It directed its attention to Unalaq, who was waterbending. He had his eyes closed, his arm movements very calm and relaxed, yet slightly tense. The water started to spin up and down the spirit like a ribbon. The spirit turned slightly brighter and the water turned golden from the ground up; Unalaq took a few steps forward, lowered his arms and raised them as the spirit also turned golden. The water around the spirit rested back on the snow and the spirit walked away very calmly.
"Go in peace…" Unalaq said as the spirit dissipated into several sparkling pieces of lights. "Korra!" Tenzin shouted as he and Tonraq ran closer to the two benders. "Are you alright?" He asked once closer to them. Korra shook of them and asked, "How were you able to control that spirit when no one else could?" "As your father could tell you, I have spent my life studying the spirits and learning their ways. All of this knowledge is lost in the south, but I could teach you everything I know." Unalaq replied. "Chief Unalaq, clearly you are very knowledgably. But Korra still has much to learn about Airbending, and I hope that going to the air temples will help her connect to the past Avatar's." Tenzin said wanting to keep Korra on learning the way of Airbending. Korra shrugged and Unalaq responded to Tenzin with, "The air temples will teach her nothing, only I can give her the true training she needs to be a complete Avatar."
Something in Korra snapped and she turned to look at the hooded person who still lay in the snow. She rushed over and kneeled down before asking "Are you alright?" The person sat up and pulled back the hood to reveal to be a handsome white haired man with dark blue eyes, in his mid-twenties. "Yes, I'm fine, except I don't remember my alarm clock being a howl and going off so early." He said rubbing the back of his head. He turned to look at Tenzin, Unalaq and Tonraq before asking, "Did I interrupt something important or should I just lie back in the snow, take a nap and let you carry on?" With a sigh Tenzin spoke to Unalaq and said, "We'll talk about this another time, for now, we have to get this man some warmth and take a look at the others back at the huts." With that they headed back to their own huts to rest up and help the man, Mako and Bolin with their injuries.
After a long night of arguing of what Korra should learn (Korra included), they decided to let Unalaq teach Korra about the spiritual ways and let Tenzin go with his family and siblings to the air temples.
"Finally, I get to learn something new for a change!" Korra said as she took a seat and leaned into Naga's fur as she noticed that the man was still in her hut, poking the fire with a stick. "I never did get your name, mines Korra and that howling alarm you heard was Naga here." Korra said, rubbing Naga's side. The man turned away from the fire and said, "I know who you are Korra, but not that ball of cute fluff you have, my name is Pyuayunibāsaru chūsei, but I'm mostly known as Onmyō because that name is too long and hard to pronounce for most." The man said finally taking off the trench coat to reveal that he wore a black suit with a snow white tie. "Isn't that something you should wear in warmer weather?" Korra asked. "Not to me, I have an extremely high tolerance to particularly everything. I didn't feel the cold wet snow on my jacket until now." He replied before snapping his finger and a black fedora appeared in his other hand.
He placed the fedora on his head and heard clapping from Korra. "Nice trick, but how did you predict that spirit's movements when you jumped in?" Onmyō smiled and said, "I have no idea, I just did what came to me." Korra gave a huff and replied, "Yeah right; me, Unalaq, and the others will be going to the South Pole tomorrow; want to join?" Onmyō was quiet for a while before he gave a slight nod before leaving the hut with his coat.
"Ok, we have Bolin and the twins, Mako, Unalaq, Dad, and me here. All's were missing is Onmyō and then we can head out." Korra said as she looked over the group heading to the South Pole. It didn't take long, but they soon heard the sound of a motor running and getting near. A snow mobile was heading their way and had two people, one in a thick white trench coat, and the other in a completely black winter fur coat. As they came to the group, the white trench coated person was Onmyō while the one in the black still had their hood up and it covered their eyes. "Everyone, I would like you to meet my sister, Wasure rarete ita, but you can call her Wasure for short." Onmyō said, as the person in the black coat lifted up the hood to reveal a beautiful blonde with hazel eyes, in her early twenties.
Bolin just stared at her before he realized HE was being stared down too. "Wait, why are your last names different?" Mako asked. "Well you see, we aren't really related. We stumbled across against each other at a very young age… we had a really rough childhood growing up." Onmyō said, rubbing Wasure's head. They then set out, Bolin not really in the mood when he found out who would be driving.
They traveled a far distance and were now in territory that held evil spirits around the South Pole. "Oh man, I really don't like this…" Bolin said after hearing something again. "Bolin, just stay calm, there's nothing to- PANIC!" Mako shouted as a dark little spirit jumped on top of Mako's animal from the snow. Several more jumped up and attacked the group. "Wasure, the swords!" Onmyō shouted as Wasure handed a sword to him before jumping off and cutting any spirits that came near them. The spirits managed to grab everyone's but Onmyō and Wasure's bags. One of the spirits went inside the snowmobile that Bolin and the twins were in, "Oooh, it's in the engine!" Bolin said before the snowmobile went shooting off in the distance with him and the twins.
Korra tried to calm a spirit but failed and was attacked; luckily Unalaq was able to calm the spirits and safe Korra. Bolin got saved by Desna and Eska like the feeble turtle-duck he is. He slid down the mountain all inflated until Mako stopped him with his foot. "Could someone please- Bolin was cut off when Onmyō stabbed a katana through the coat, deflating it. "Thank you." He said, as he lies there. "Everyone lost their stuff but Onmyō and Wasure. How did you do it with those swords?" Mako asked looking at the damage done by the spirits. "Like I said, we had a really rough childhood." Onmyō said with a smile as he sheathed his katana.
Tonraq couldn't handle the pressure and headed back to the southern water tribe. Unalaq told them that only Korra could open the Southern Portal and needed to do this alone. She went in and soon walked through a tunnel of ice. She heard something and turned around to where it suddenly got much quieter. Two snake like spirits came out of hiding and towards Korra; she ran away from the two and blocked the tunnel with ice. She turned to look where she was and saw a large open area. "The Southern Portal, whoa." She said in awe.
She tried to open the portal with bending but it all failed. The two serpents were back, and they brought their whole family. The serpents piled on top of the ceiling above Korra who desperately tried to open the portal. The serpents started to merge together and through the ice into one large serpent that bit into Korra and started to create a web around her. Her arms started to get wrapped in the webbing and she went into the Avatar State for it to be easier to break the webbing.
It was, but not enough. She was just an inch away from touching the floor, but it soon became two, then three and then a foot. Korra was losing and she started to feel strange, she felt something sinister seeping inside her. She lost the Avatar State and was pulled back even more; but something hot came to Korra's side and saw a ball of white fire heading towards the spirits. Then a slash of water, cutting the spirits off and dropped Korra; instantly the sinister feeling rushed away and she returned to the avatar state and touched the floor.
The floor cracked before a pillar of light shined through and disintegrated the spirits while it pushed Korra away and into the arms of Wasure. "Are you alright?" She asked setting her on the ground. "Yeah I'm fine, just a little tired that's all." She said getting up. "You're not mad that I disobeyed Unalaq's and your orders not to interfere?" Wasure said surprised. "That really isn't what's bothering me right now, what's bothering me is that I saw you bend fire and water." Korra said as she crossed her arms. "We can talk about that some other time, Onmyō can explain better than I can." Wasure said as they headed back outside.
They walked outside and Bolin got the lesson of Eska, don't make physical contact with another woman. Korra apologized to Mako and Wasure was giving a small lecture by Onmyō. In the end, it all went pretty good; that was until Northern Water Tribe army ships were seen coming to the shores of the Southern Water Tribe. Onmyō and Wasure looked at each other with worried looks, because one was originally from the Southern Water Tribe, while the other was from the North.
