Sup guys? Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one on Korra. Enjoy the 800-Chapter word. I don't own LOK Michael Dante DiMartino, Bryan Koniezko and Nick do.
(Earth Kingdom, City of Ba Sing Se, 1 day before season 3)
The boy continued running, the book under his arm from the library, he looked and saw he wasn't being chased at all like he had been for the past 20 minutes or so…
"Phew… Finally, I can read this in peace…"
The boy said as he balanced in-between two houses, placing the book on his lap.
This boy was known as Neige, the 13-year-old flipped through the book, he didn't care if the books were only in the royal library, they should be allowed to be read by the entire town…. Then again, when did Ming-Hua share anything with her subjects?
"Hmm…. I didn't know that about the former King…. Interesting… I can't believe… No wait, I can, she would never allow people to read anything that makes her look like a bad queen…."
Neige muttered before he tucked the book into his satchel and climbed up and onto the roof, this would be the 30th book he had read…. This month… In the last 3 years…
"I better get home, by the look of the sun's position in the sky, its nearly evening…. And that means mom and dad will be back…."
The boy said as he rushed across the rooftops, he nearly slipped but caught himself, he wouldn't call himself a skilled acrobat, but he was able to keep himself from falling off, he'd call that a clear victory in skill.
"Where is that brat? The Queen will have our heads if we don't get him…. He's been taking books for over 3 years and we still haven't caught him…."
He heard from one of the Dai Li below, he smiled as he looked at the confused and obviously outsmarted Earth Kingdom soldiers.
"And the worst part is he gives them back when he's done with them…. Peasant brat can't just stay with his worthless parents in the lower ring… Has to cause trouble for the rest of the city… And their coal miners…. They should be lucky they even have Earthbending unlike the kid… Doesn't even have a sliver of their talent…"
He heard from another of the Dai Li, this made him frown, but he brushed the insult off, he outsmarted them and they couldn't accept that they were outmaneuver and defeated…. It stung his pride, but he knew they had still lost…
"But I am so dead if I don't get home in time… Mom and dad will have MY head if I don't…. And there's still so many books I haven't read… Hmm… There's always tomorrow…."
Neige muttered to himself, he'd rather face the Dai Li then deal with his angry parents…. He hadn't seen them in a few days though… That both intrigued and unnerved him, they'd never be this late…. He would figure that out later… For now, he had the duty of getting home before the sun fell, then his parents would be home by that time, and if he didn't reach that location by that time… He shuttered to think of the trouble he would be in by then…
He spotted his way down, a cargo elevator which was being held by a rope….
Then again, just because it was fast, didn't make it safe…. He was good at balance enough not to fall off a small building… Being hundreds of feet off the ground?
Then again, it was better to try then not…. He rushed off the building and dove down, the Dai Li looked in his direction before he dove off the railing.
"Fudge, fudge, fudge…."
Neige hissed to himself as he reached out, his fingers nearly slipped before he was able to reach up with his other hand and climbed into the elevator.
He leaned on the food in the elevator… That was WAY too close for him to try again.
"Geez…. I have to stop this sometime…. Soon…"
The teen muttered to himself as he sat on the edge of the elevator and cracked open the book again. He continued to look through it while he rode the elevator down to the lower levels of the city, the only thing he was glad about was he was safe now.
He had no idea how his life would change tomorrow.
Author Note
Phew, first chapter done! Yes, I know it isn't perfect, first chapters aren't my thing. I'm surprised there aren't that many stories on Jinora…. I made this story after seeing some of Korra… This story is going to be different from the show… Next chapter will be on next Monday and will show Jinora and the others traveling to Ba Sing Se and Neige and his new powers. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
