Korra and Naga
"Ayhoooo!" Six year old Korra cried as she bended the snow at her feet to lift her small body high in the air, leaping over the tall gate of the confinement that held the young and rebellious avatar.
Korra laughed as she landed softly on the soft snow on the other side. She smiled brightly as she looked at the beautiful morning day that brightened the snowy land.
"Yes! Finally the avatar is free!" Jumping and then spinning in the air, Korra bended the snow ff her body. "No one can hold me prisoner!" She laughed as she ran away from the "prison" the White Lotus leaders took her to train.
Korra ran towards the open land of nothing but snow as she practiced her fire and water bending (mostly). Melting the snow around her with a quick flame then using the water to practice perfecting the water whip technique Katara was currently teaching her.
"Take that you ugly fiend!" Korra cried as she lashed her whip towards a wall of snow making it to collapse along with some boulder pieces hidden within the snow causing a small avalanche. "A-ha!" Korra launched the water whip towards the rock again this time adding enough force to cause it explode, shaking the ground roughly.
Suddenly a painful cry ranged in Korra's ears. Then black and white strips came from over the edge.
"Ahh!" She cried in surprise as a herd of zebra-seals rushed towards her. She put on a defensive stance, ready to attack but Korra blinked when she realized they went past her. "Yea, you better run!" She cried and laughed in victory as the last of the zebra-seals disappeared from sight.
"Huh?" Korra stopped laughing when she heard a small whimper. Turning around she slowly made her way towards the small edge where the land dipped inwards.
The young girl gasped as she located the source of the noise. It was a polar bear pup, covered in blotches of blood, its paws cut and bitten on, her tail tucked deep between its legs and shaking violently.
Korra unconsciously leaned forward and gasped as she suddenly lost balance and tumbled forward. She hastily got up and froze when she noticed she was very close to the injured pup who flinched back but couldn't move much due to its injuries.
"Hey there...it's okay," She tried to sooth the pup, choking back her own tears. Her eyes went wide when she noticed there were more polar bear dogs around. A full grown polar bear dog laid unmoving along with another pup next to her, both covered in blood. "Oh spirits..." Those zebra-seals attacked these polar bear dogs.
Korra's eyes watered as she looked at the now orphaned pup. "You poor thing..." Korra dropped to her knees, tears running down her round face.
She stretched out her right hand towards the pup. "It's o-okay...I'll be your friend." After it seemed like hours to Korra, the pup slowly moved towards her. Korra winced as she watched the pup limp towards her hand.
She gave a sad smile, "You won't be alone anymore... avatar promise."
The pup looked at the young girl and sniffed her fingers before lifting her nose onto her palm.
"Let's go home...Naga."
First one-shot.
Sorry it's really short, it wasn't as long as I thought it would be. And I'm sorry if some things are wrong such as the zebra seals being able to kill polar bear dogs.
Thank you, till next time.
