This is my first fan fiction for the Legend of Korra. It is a really laid laid back collection of Korra's musings in Republic city. If you're in the mood for some light reading, this is the way to go!
I. Korra is bored.
Korra is bored. Period. Just bored. She's had to listen to Tenzin whine about his stupid two thousand year old relic for hours now. It's not her fault air bending is so hard for her. Has anyone even thought that maybe, just maybe, she doesn't need to learn air bending? She frowns. Tenzin doesn't understand .He doesn't even openly berate her for having such thoughts. No, yelling and ordering around, she can deal with. Small hinted glares, whenever the topic is brought up, not so much. He just throws subtle barbs (which he thinks are harmless) when he sees her passing by.
She's getting sick of it.
At first, she felt guilty. All that guilt slowly turned into anger as the day passed by. Now, the anger has just cooled into quiet annoying boredom in the confinement of her small room. She reflects, once more, since she's been here, on her life in the South Pole. Wonders how her parents are doing. Their last letter was so long ago. She misses Katara too. She wonders what they've all been up to. This is taking her down a very depressing line of thought. She shakes her head. She needs to see Naga now.
She walks out of the room and out into the stables of the air temple. As she approaches, Naga lets out a grunt, recognizing her and rushes towards her, giving her a bear tackle. She pushes Naga off and laughs. Lifting her head up, she sees the Pro-bending stadium. She longs to go there. How long has it been, since she's been with people her own age? She needs to be there. Tenzin may be her teacher, but he's not her guardian. She needs fun too and he can't forbid that.
She gives Naga one last snuggle before turning around and walking back, while slowly hatching a plan to get past her white lotus guardians (who are, by the way, the most suffocating people ever. How does Tenzin keep them on such a tight leash?). She sees them listening to the commentary from the stadium. Slowly, the plan falls into place, as does her rising smirk.
They won't even know what hit them. She grins and thinks:
'Republic city stadium, here I come!'
That's it for chapter one. Hope you liked it!
