Chapter 1- The Spirit World and the Ice Princess

Bolin was freezing!

His nose, cheeks, and ears were all bright pink in direct contrast with his normally pale skin. His eyes were watering due to the icy winds blowing at his face, and the tears painfully froze. With numb, gloved, fingers he attempted to wrap the large fur lined jacket tighter around his midsection, Pabu scurried through the inside of his coat in hopes of finding a warmer part of his body with no luck.

As he trudged through the snow the young Earthbender couldn't help but check on his travelling companions through the gloom of night: Korra, Asami, and Mako. Each wearing snow shoes, thick furry coats, and sporting pink noses and ears.
Mako was keeping as warm as he could with his breath of fire, while Asami was trailing just behind Korra-who was surprisingly undaunted by the ice and snow. She had a job to do.

There were reports of spirits attacking people in a village in the North Pole, and Team Avatar was quick to set out, having nothing else better to do. Bolin was slightly uneasy accepting the idea of going back to the North, a few too many bad memories plaguing the back of his mind.
Focus on the task at hand. He reminded himself; swallowing thickly he reached out a hand and grasped Asami's. The girl gave him a grateful look and moved closer to him, wrapping her gloved fingers tighter around his as best she could in hopes of restoring feeling to them.

It wasn't long before Bolin caught sight of the village, small buildings built up of ice and snow.
Lamps stood tall just above the roofs of each house, and small blue flags flapped endlessly under the harsh wind.
Korra dashed ahead, and the others found themselves loathed not to follow her example.
Cold filled Bolin's boots as he attempted to run through the thick snow, Asami released his hand so that she could go faster, while Mako came closer to him; "Remind me again why we couldn't bring Naga?" he joked between pants.
Bolin gave a wan smile, "Everyone knows that Polar Bear Dogs hate the cold," he joked in return.
As soon as they reached the village the ground became solid, roads paved with firmly packed snow. Bolin noted that due to the storm everyone was inside, it made it feel…deserted.
Breathing heavily he leaned against a lamp, the cold made his lungs burn with each intake of air.

Korra had started searching the doors of each building until she found the house she was looking for, it was larger than the rest.
With one swift motion she waved everyone else over and Bolin found himself trailing behind his brother. Team Avatar slowly entered the building, and Bolin realized that they were surrounded by people.
They all held similar features, that of the Water Nation. Dark brown to black hair, ice blue eyes, dark skin, prominent noses, and high cheekbones.
"Um, hi! ... everyone!" the young EarthBender announced, feeling decidedly uncomfortable. He ran his gloved hand through his dark hair.
Korra stepped forward, "I'm Avatar Korra and I'm looking for whoever's in charge here." She placed her hands on her hips.
A tall woman stepped forward; her hair was put into one large bun atop her head-an unusual hairstyle compared to the usual WaterTribe Hairdos. "I am Tailla, you may speak to me," she said not unkindly.
Korra gave a crooked grin, "I'm here because there were reports of an angry spirit," she replied respectfully, "I thought I'd offer some assistance."
Tailla nodded, "That is true Avatar Korra. The Spirit 'Omeghi' has been keeping us from the North side of our village, and he claims that it is his territory!"
Bolin could see the woman's hands clench into fists, "He is keeping my people from their homes."

Korra's brow furrowed, clearly thinking about the situation.
Asami stepped forward, "Have you tried talking to it?" she asked, rubbing at her arms. Despite the warmth of the small room, the cold from outside still chilled their bones. A soft chuckle came from behind Tallia, "You can't talk to monsters."
"Anana hold your tongue!"
Korra angrily addressed the speaker, "Spirits aren't monsters," she said tersely. "That's your opinion," replied the girl named Anana, she came into view and…Bolin found himself lost for breath. She was beautiful!

Her hair was shoulder length and smooth like silk, with a length of blue running through the locks near her forehead. Her eyes were big, but not too large, with sparkling blue irises. Her lips were full and covered in red lipstick, and her coat stuck to her curvaceous frame tightly.
Bolin managed to pull his gaze away from her to shoot Mako a blank stare, his brother was looking at Anana with wide eyes and a slightly opened mouth.

Both Asami and Korra seemed unimpressed. Luckily before Korra could go full circle on this girl Tallia spoke, "I'm afraid that we have not tried conversing with the 'creature'," she said, shooting Anana a dirty look. The young woman flashed a fabulous smile to show off her innocence and then…suddenly she was smiling at Bolin! The young EarthBender felt a blush creep across his cheeks, also feeling guilty because he was in a relationship with Opal and shouldn't be falling head over heels (as it were) for some other girl merely because she was pretty-scratch that-gorgeous.
His mind strayed unwillingly to his first true love and he felt his heart squeeze, his first true love…wasn't Opal.

Truth be told his relationship with Opal hadn't been going anywhere as of late, she was sweet, kind, smart and supportive. But, not someone he found himself loving to the full extent of his ability. Her presence didn't force him smile anymore; she was a friend, not a love. He bit his bottom lip at this, suddenly realizing the truth of the matter he managed a weak smile back at Anana.
"Than that should be our first course of action," Korra said, interrupting Bolin from his thoughts. He absently nodded with the others in agreement when without warning a harsh wind blew in from behind, Bolin quickly grasped at his arms, shoulders hunched as the cold tightened his muscles.

The door slammed shut and the wind stopped, Bolin was aware of a strange tingling running through his spine and up his neck. With a swallow he turned around to face three forms, two looked incredibly alike-twins- while standing behind was an older woman-clearly their mother.
The young EarthBender found himself focusing on the twin to the right, and only her.
Her small nose, light blue eyes and uniform dark hair. Her baggy robes having over her slim nearly curve-less figure.
Bolin, for the second time that day, found his breath taken away.

"Eska…"


So as you can see I grew impatient for Book three to be finished, I was growing anxious with the story I had in my head already.
Chapter two is finished already so you'll have that right away, I hope you liked it!
