Disclaimer: I own nothing except this plot
Summary: After failing Republic City fourteen years ago, Korra left but not before finding out something very important. Now a certain teenage girl wants to find what she never had for most of her life; her father but she can't bend with telling people who she is.
Author's Note: Just a heads up; Korra is in this but not that much because this is quest that her daughter needs to do and help fight Amon with her mother and friends. Oh yeah, Mieko's name is pronounce Mee-koh. And this story is just for fun and to see if I could write more Legend of Korra stories.

It has been fourteen years since Korra left the city in defeat.
She felt useless until she found out the most truly yet freighting news yet, she was pregnant. Korra didn't know what to do at first so she went home back to the South Pole until the baby was born. Nine months later Korra wished that her friend that would hate her by now would be here for her daughter's birth. After hours of pain and agony Korra finally gave birth to a water-bender named, Mieko. Mieko had her mother's skin and eyes but her father's hair color. Everyone in the South Pole was happy to see baby Mieko and even though Korra's parent weren't happy about Korra being pregnant but they were happy to see their first grandchild. It was truly a magical moment for everyone to see Mieko. Mieko smiled at her mother for the first time during that full moon of her birth and the high tides clashing near the cliffs. A small giggle appeared out of Mieko's tiny mouth and Korra was finally happy after nine months of being depress. Now fourteen years later Mieko is different for the rest.

Korra was currently standing still near the cliffs were her daughter and friends were playing at. She didn't know what to think now, her daughter was changing quickly and even now she was becoming less and less social. Korra was worried that one day her daughter would just give up and finally go to fine her father someday. She knew that it was time to fight for what's been gone for fourteen years; Republic City.
Korra was feeling a slight breeze coming from her left which was odd because normally the wind would come from her right never the left. She then turned to see a smiling Aang.
"Aang," Korra whispered not believing what she was seeing. Aang smiled at Korra and walked over to her calmly.
"Korra you may have hit our lowest point in the world but that doesn't mean you should give up. I know that Katara trained Mieko with her best and now I shall give you back you're bending, if you want." He said knowing what happened to Korra years back after her first fight with Amon leaving her with air-bending left.
Korra's eyes bugged but then she turned to face the water hoping to see her future now. With a nod Korra allowed Aang to give her bending back. After a blinding light filled Korra she started bend all four of the elements. What Korra didn't know was that Mieko was watching the whole scene with her mother's bending.
Korra's feet touched the ground then to be greeted by her daughter in her blue and white parka on. Tears filled Mieko's eyes from the previously scene she just saw. Korra was happy to see her daughter acting like a total different person around her.
"Mom, I'm so happy for you." Mieko said ignoring the tears coming out of her eyes at the moment. Mieko never really cried that much since she was eight. Her hair was planted on her face from being in the water with her friends.
Korra rubbed her hand on her daughter's back were Mieko's long braid ended and were she has a cut from sparring with one of her friends a few months ago.
"Mieko, you'll never lose me and that I'm very proud of you." Korra said with emotions for the very first time in years. Mieko smiled but it soon faded away when she saw Naga's pup (and Mieko's polar bear dog) Saga eating on her boot.
"Saga, please stop eating my boot." Mieko shrieks running past her Korra and towards Saga who picked up the boot and runs off with it.
Korra then walked into her parents' home to see them cuddling on the couch. Senna was the first to see Korra in the doorway then scooted away to hug her daughter.
"Mom I got my bending back but I need extra practice with it and since master Katara been died three years ago, you two are the next big thing close to me." Korra said trying not to think about her former water-bending master's death. Senna knew what Korra was thinking so she hugged her daughter even more.
"We will help you but I think that it would be better to read those scrolls that she gave you when you were little. I think they will be more helpful than me and your father, sweetheart." Senna said pointing to a closet with the ancient scrolls that Katara had. Korra nodded at her mom then walked over to the scrolls to grab them. Only to find one of the scrolls missing, and it was a fire-bending scroll missing.
"Uh . . . mom do you have any idea where the other fire-bending scroll is?" She asks turning back to the living room. Senna looked confused and shook her head at her daughter.

Mieko was still chasing Saga around the village hoping that he will past out by now. She was getting tired from running but also from learning water-bending moves from her mother's scrolls. Just then Mieko saw Saga drops the boot in his teeth and sat down.
"Thank you," Mieko whispered before jogging towards Saga with one boot on. When Mieko got next to Saga, she saw her friend, Kata sitting with her family. That got Mieko upset because she never had a dad figure in her life. Saga notice the way Mieko acted around him, so he licked her like no other. That got her to smile and to mount him so they could go home.
As they walked through the village, Mieko saw so many fathers at home because the men just got back from their hunting trip. This made Mieko to think about leaving her home to find him.
Once the two got back to the igloo, they saw Naga sleeping and everyone inside cooking or talking. It really didn't matter to Mieko because she loves to be outside practicing water-bending skills with other forms of bending.
Saga went to sleep next to Naga while she practiced her bending hoping that no one will see her practice the movements of fire-bending. After what seems like an hour, Mieko finally stopped and went inside for dinner. She saw one plate on the table and some in the sink waiting to be clean.
"Mie-Mie, Korra is asleep and what is it that you wanted to talk about this morning?" Senna said to her granddaughter that she technically rose when Korra was in her depress state.
"I saw things that I never thought that would happen to me someday. I want a father figure in my life that's not just my grandpa." Senna smiled at her granddaughter's pride.
"I need to find him and tell him about my existence and being his daughter, but I don't know what to do anymore. I'm tired of looking at my friends and their families with a dad in the picture. Do you know what I felt like during those hunting and bending classes I took and saw how everyone had a dad but me?" By this time tears were streaming down Mieko's face rapidly. Senna hugged her and said some smooth words.
"Korra told me that she conceived you when she was in Republic City before the fight Amon with your father. So on my account you might want to start in Republic City and find Tenzin." Senna said to Mieko. Mieko started to think about this before agreeing to it.
"What are we going to do about mom finding out? I mean I can't just leave like that, gran-gran." Mieko stated heating her meal. Senna thought about that before making tea.
"Korra was planning on going to there after she got her bending back up, so in your case you might want to leave later at night when everyone asleep." She said now taking a sip of her tea.
"Thank you, thank you; you are the best gran-gran ever!" Mieko squealed as Senna chuckled a little.
Later that night, Mieko was done packing up her clothes that should hold her over until she finds Tenzin. Mieko didn't know what to think after her talk with Senna. She wanted to do this with her mom but couldn't this was a mission for herself and only herself.
Once she got outside the igloo, Mieko saw Senna standing next to Tonraq with their arms locked into each other. Then there was Saga and Naga standing behind them looking sad.
"I need to do this, it hurts to leave but I need to." She said looking at the ground that was all snow.
"We know and this is so similar to when Korra left to go to Republic City to learn air-bending." Tonraq said walking over to his granddaughter.
"We're going to miss you so much, and Korra will to." Senna said before they did a group hug.
"You'll need this to show Tenzin that you know me." They heard Korra's voice in the back. Mieko turned to face her mother who had some tears coming out of her eyes.
"Mom you're letting me go?" She asked running into her mother's arms. Korra nods sadly at her daughter.
"I knew that someday you'll go find your father and remember this; bending comes from the heart and mind not the soul itself," Korra said giving her a red scarf and raped around Mieko's neck. "It was your father's but I never gave it back, so if you see a man who tries to take that scarf, you get the picture."
Tears were streaming down Mieko's face before mounting Saga and hugging her family once more before leaving towards the ships.

Korra felt like this before, well she had but it was different this time. Tears were coming down her face as she watches her only child leaving to find her father. The next person that will be leaving to Republic City was her and then she'll be ready to face Amon head on.
Korra couldn't take it anymore, she cried into her dad's shoulder. All they could do is hope that Mieko will have the spirits with her the whole way.
You're next Amon and this time I'm not losing.
