This is a little story I wanted to work on until Halloween. I'll be trying to post two chapters at a time up until Halloween so that this story will be finished by then. But for now, I hope you enjoy.

Prologue: The Mysterious Grave and a Mystery Poem
Wheeling towards the graveyard, Avatar Korra was actually smiling for the first time in a long time. This would be the one time of year where she could just enjoy herself and finally not be bound to a wheelchair because of that battle! No empty promises from her 'friends', no annoying Tenzin, no police chief breathing down her neck, no rehab with Katara,and certainly no overprotective parents trying to do everything for her! Just her and a bunch of her Halloween friends.
It didn't take her very long to find the grave she was looking for. It was an ornate grave that seemed more like a tomb with a large statue of an angel holding an open bible and a lit torch. On the doors of the entrance to the grave was a small carving of a Jack o' Lantern with a scary face carved into it.
Korra quickly looked around to make sure that no one was following her as she drew a small knife that she kept hidden away in her sleeve. She winced as she cut her thumb deep enough to draw blood and began to smear the blood on the Jack o' Lantern carving of the grave. The doors made a loud *click* as they unlocked before groaning as they opened up. Leaving her wheelchair behind, the currently crippled Avatar stood up on shaky legs and began to hobble down a staircase lit by two rows of torches.
Slowly, as Korra descended down into the darkness, the doors to the grave closed behind her. And forming in Korra's blood was a poem that seemed to reflect just what may be going on here.
Twas a long time ago
Longer now than it seems
In a place that, perhaps, you've seen in your dreams
For the story that you are about to be told
Began with the holiday worlds of old
Now you've probably wondered where holidays come from
If you haven't, I'd say it's time you begun
For the holidays are the result of much fuss and hard work for the worlds that create them for us
Well, you see now
Quite simply, that's all that they do
Making one unique holiday especially for you
But one, a calamity ever so great occurred
When two holidays met by mistake
Now, what this poem means and its significance, I do not know. But I do know this. Things will never be the same for the nations of the four elements. Never again.
*To Be Continued…*
The next chapter will be up either today or tomorrow. It's being written as we speak, so look forward to another update. Thank you guys so much for reading! Don't forget to leave a LONG REVIEW for the chapter. May the Force be with you, and Happy Halloween!
