Chapter 1: Heading to the North Pole

"Hah, I got you daddy" Korra shouted with pride as she successfully made a water whip touch.

"Ha ha you certainly did young avatar. You'll certainly to pass your waterbending test next week" Tonraq smiled at his young daughter with pride at just seven years old Korra was considered one of the fastest learning waterbenders in the South Pole. In just three years Katara had taught Korra all of the waterbending forms basic and advanced, she even taught Korra the art of healing.

As Korra looked up at her father she noticed that she had accidently made a small cut on his left arm. "Daddy your arm is bleeding. Let me heal it" Korra gathered a small amount of water and began to heal the small cut that she had made earlier with the waterwhip.

"How badly did she damage you this time" a familiar voice called out.

"Senna" Tonraq looked up and saw his smiling wife she looked lovely as ever. Not only was she becoming more and more beautiful to him each day, but she had genuine kindness unlike any woman Tonraq had ever met in his life. It was that kindness that had attracted him to her nearly fifteen years ago in Katara's waterbending class.

Senna watched as her daughter healed the cut on Tonraq's arm. Just like her husband Senna also had a sense of pride when it came to their daughter. Who wouldn't? Not only was Korra the Avatar but she was once again a skilled bender. However these were not the things that impressed Senna and Tonraq. No, it was their daughter's fierce determination, the willingness to always keep trying and never give up. To them that is what made their daughter special.

As Korra finished healing the cut Senna walked up to her husband and began to roll up his sleeves to see if their daughter had made any other cuts to her husband's arm. As Senna checked her husband's arms she didn't notice anything unfamiliar but Korra certainly did.

"Daddy what's that" Korra said pointing at three vaguely visible marks on her father's left shoulder.

"Those marks are the penalties of something that a foolish boy did in the North Pole long ago. " Tonraq sighed and then hesitated wondering if he should tell his daughter the full story.

Korra looked up fascinated and confused at her father's statement. "Dad, are you okay?" Korra asked as she noticed her father's suddenly grim expression.

Tonraq not quite sure what to do looked at his wife as she nodded understanding what his eyes were asking her. Tonraq met his daughter's worried gaze and said "Korra, why don't we go inside and I will tell you how I got these scars from a polar bear dog."
