"Senna, it will be okay. The White Lotus will be able to help. I've already summoned them and they should be here in the morning," he replied to her. He closed the space between them and held his family tightly. "It will be okay, love."
"I hope you're right, Tonraq, for their sakes," she replied. She looked down at the children. Her little girls were sleeping peacefully, despite the turmoil that their parents were facing.
The next morning arrived and Senna was in a panic. The two children played happily in the igloo while their parents sat and awaited for the arrival of the White Lotus. Senna and Tonraq sat in torturous patience while they waited for the masters of skill to arrive in their modest home.
Finally, they heard a knocking on the side of their igloo. "Excuse me," a voice bellowed. "This is the order of the White Lotus."
"Please come in!" Senna exclaimed and immediately sat up from the cushion she had been sitting on with Tonraq.
"Ah, you must be Senna and Tonraq. I am Kohl, the leader of the White Lotus. We are here because your husband claims that your child is the Avatar. We have searched many water tribe children and we do not have time for false proclamations. Do you have any proof that your child is the Avatar?"
"Sir, you must have misunderstood. Our children are the Avatars," Senna responded nervously. Never before in the history of the world had there been two Avatars. Avatars were meant to be only one person.
"I told you we did not have time for jokes, especially one as that. I'm sorry Senna, but we will be leaving," the leader declared. The followers behind him began to turn around, but the leader stayed put to see if Senna had anything else to say.
"Please, sir, just take a look at my children and you will know," she pleaded. Tonraq was still sitting on the cushion. His face was in his palms.
The regal looking man looked back and forth from Senna's pleading eyes and Tonraq's distress. Something strange passed over the man and he could tell that the parents were genuine in their concerns. The man had never heard of dual Avatars, but their search for the Avatar had turned so sour that he had no choice but to listen to the woman. He looked at the little girls that sat on the floor of the igloo quitely. They played together in harmony. It seemed as if one girl's movements were an extension of the other's.
"Korra, Kai, could you please come here for a moment?" Senna called in her most cheerful voice. The two youngsters immediately ran towards her. When they were at her feet she bent over and spoke only to them. "Darlings, could you please show the kind man what you can do?"
"Me first!" Korra yelled. She was the more aggressive of the two children. She stood in front of the man with a proud smile on her face. She held her palm out in front of him and a small flame shot of of her hand. With her other hand she produced a large stream of moving water and doused the flame of the fire.
"My turn!" Kai cheered. She stood on a stone square and almost instantly she forced the square up so that he was standing a few feet above the heads of her parents. Then he produced a small ball of air and sat on top of it.
"Good job, Kai!" Korra yelled from below. With that her sister moved the air away and pushed the rock down to the ground. The two toddlers high fived each other and returned to the other corner of the room where they had been playing before.
Senna looked back at the White Lotus' leader. The other memebers of the White Lotus had returned into the igloo. They all stared at her with widely gaped mouths.
Then Kohl spoke, "Senna. I am so sorry for doubting you and claiming that you were trying to play tricks on us. You weren't. Together, your children can bend all four elements. I've never even heard of such a thing. Never before in the history of the Avatar cycle has this happened."
Tonraq moved from the cushion he had been seated on, obviously relieved that the White Lotus believed them. "What should we do?"
"I believe that the White Lotus will make permanent headquarters in the South Pole so that we can help to train your children as best that we can. We need to prepare them for every obstacle that life is going to throw at them. Being the Avatar isn't easy, but only possessing half of an Avatar's power, now that is really going to be a challenge."
Senna looked back at her children with sadness. She knew that they were strong, but she hoped that they were strong enough to face this challenge.
