Hi guys! So, I have been obsessed with the Legend of Korra, and since I am a dancer, this story crossed my mind.
This fanfic is based on the classic ballet story La sylphide (Which I consider to be a fairy tale kind of thing). There will be no dancing involved in the story, JUST THE PLOT LINE!
If you do not know the story that is fine too, then you won't spoil the ending for yourself!
But for those of you who do know the story here is the Cast:
James = Mako
The Sylph/forest fairy= Asami
Gurn= Bolin
Effie= Korra
Old Madge= Amon
Other characters include: Korra's mother and bridemaids, some random wedding guests, chi blockers, etc.
(I did what I thought fit. If you don't like it, too bad!)
So without further adieu…
I swear I do not own Legend of Korra or La Sylphide!
It was quite.
The sun still had a few minutes before it could climb into the sky.
The young Mako rested in his chair, dreaming of this day… his marriage to Korra.
While still asleep, a sylph appeared in his room.
She was truly beautiful, with her long dark hair, soft green eyes, and fair skin. She was dressed in white with a crown of bright red flowers on her head, and wrist bands of the same red star shaped flower.
She gazed lovingly at the sleeping human, gave a small giggle, and kissed him.
Mako jumped awake the moment the fairy's lips touched his, but when his eyes where wide open, he found only himself in the room.
Could it have been a dream? He wondered.
He couldn't shake off the feeling of the small kiss the sylph had given him. It truly felt like magic was on the fairy girl's lips. But why would a sylph kiss him? Sylphs would never fall for humans… right?
Perhaps someone else might have seen her?
He continued to think of where he could find the enchanting creature.
Mako rushed to his brother's room, only to find him asleep. Bolin's pillow was damp and Mako understood why.
He cried himself to sleep last night because he still loves her.
Mako shook his brother awake.
"Huh…? Is it morning already?" Bolin mumbled.
"No. Bo, I have a question for you. Did you see a sylph run around here?"
Bolin picked up his head and gave his brother a skeptical stare.
"No, sylphs are nowhere near here. Why would you ask something like that?"
"Because a sylph kissed me awake! That's why!"
Bolin raised an eyebrow, "You do realize you are getting married soon right? Why should you worry about something as ridiculous as that?"
Mako shook his head, "You're right. Sorry, I guess it was just some crazy dream."
"I don't even get how you could be so worried about some random fairy when you are about to marry Korra! You don't know how lucky that is…" Bolin said wistfully.
Mako's face softened at hearing this. He truly did feel guilt about taking away the one girl his brother loved deeply, but he loved Korra too much to just give her up.
"Hey, I'm sorry about how things turned out-"
"Mako, you don't have to apologize. I told you I would be fine. If you make her happy, and she makes you happy, then I'll be okay. She and I will just be the best friends, like we have always been."
Silence hung in the room for a few seconds until, "You should probably get ready. Your future wife will be here soon. Forget about all that sylph stuff okay."
"Of course."
Korra arrived with her mother and bridesmaids.
At the sight of her fiancé, Korra's face brightened up and rushed over to him.
Mako brought Korra into his arms, and kissed her.
But the moment they broke away, Mako noticed a shadow off at the corner.
Mako's heart jumped. Is that the sylph? He wondered.
Mako stepped closer to the shadow only to find it be Amon, the old warlock, who was warming himself by the fire on the hearth.
Mako couldn't help but be furious! How dare this old man pretend to be his sylph!
Korra's bridesmaids rushed immediately over to Amon asking him to tell them their fortunes. Until one of the girls said, "Why don't you read the bride-to-be's fortune?"
Korra laughed as if expecting it to say a happy marriage, but she reluctantly allowed the warlock to tell her future.
"Well my dear, it appears Mako is in love with another, and your wedding will not be with him, but his brother." Amon said gleefully.
Korra was in shock. That can't be true!
She looked over at Mako hoping for a reassuring glance that Amon was wrong.
She got it.
"How dare you say that to my wife! I love her! And if you can't accept that, then leave!" And from there Mako grabbed Amon by the arm, and dragged him out of his home.
"Mako," Korra said while pulling him close to her, "That was so brave of you to tangle with that horrible man for my sake!" She kissed him on the cheek.
"I would do anything for you. You know that." He smiled as he kissed her back.
"You and your friends should go get ready now dear." Korra's mother said leading the other girls upstairs.
Korra gave Mako one more kiss before she headed upstairs.
Mako was left in his room alone. He couldn't believe it. In just under a few minutes he would married to Korra.
Just then, out his window the sylph materialized in front of him.
She giggled, "Hello. My name is Asami. And it is truly wonderful to see you Mako."
"Asami…" Mako breathed. Her name is Asami…
"I must confess something to you Mako," Asami said tearfully, "I am in love with you! I wish it was I who was marring you instead of that boring human girl."
Asami broke into sobs.
Mako turned away, he could never do something like that to Korra.
But he was captivated by Asami's beauty. He could no longer resist the magic and mystery that surrounded this unique girl. He couldn't fight it anymore.
Mako looked at Asami, and kissed her full on the lips.
While this happened, Bolin walked in to check on Mako, only to find him kissing the fairy girl.
Bolin left the room quickly in total shock. He couldn't believe his brother would do such a thing, especially to Korra! And he wouldn't stand for it.
Bolin ran upstairs to inform Korra.
He hammered on the door, as Korra answered it. Bolin had to catch his breath a second the moment he saw how beautiful Korra looked in her wedding dress.
"Korra, what I am about to say will sound crazy, but I saw Mako kissing a sylph though the window."
Korra blinked, "That… that can't be true. Are you sure Bolin?"
Bolin hated to see Korra hurt, and regretfully he nodded.
Korra rushed down stairs, followed by Bolin. The two friends entered Mako's room, only to find Mako by himself.
Mako was startled when they entered.
"Mako," Korra rushed into his arms, "Bolin said he saw you kissing another girl." She looked up to his face, "It's not true is it?"
Mako looked away for a second, then looked down at Korra. " No, of course not."
Bolin had a confused look on his face. But, I saw him kissing another girl! I know I did!
Bolin backed out of the room.
"Why would Bolin say such a thing like that?" Korra said.
"I think I know why…" Mako said slowly.
"Why ?"
"He… has feelings -"
"For me?" Korra was in shock, "I never thought he would make something up because he was jealous of us…"
Mako pulled her in closer, "It's okay, we're together now."
Korra and Mako stood before the preacher and were about to exchange rings.
Mako took one hard look at the ring he was about to place on Korra's finger. And for once he never thought he would start to have second thoughts.
But just as he was about to give her the ring, Asami appeared before the crowd, and seized Korra's ring from Mako's hand.
"Asami…" Mako whispered.
Korra looked at him, "Who is she?"
"I am the one he loves now!" Asami said triumphantly, placing the ring on her own finger and then running away.
Mako had nothing to say, he simply acted out of not thinking, and chased after Asami.
"I can't believe you! Bolin was right!" Korra screamed, "I LOVED YOU!" She tossed her bouquet to the ground and cried into her mother's arms.
And that was part one.
So apparently the wedding guests and chi blockers do not appear until part two…
My mistake. :/
So what did you think? Good, bad, weird, or what? PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
