The weeks went by slowly at the air temple after Bolin, Makko and Asami had moved in. Since then, the young avatar grew…restless. Nothing had happened much since they moved in, much less to her surprise, however everything was happening inside. Makko and Asami only seemed to grow closer after the revealing of her father being entangled with Amon, much to Korra's dislike.

She harbored no ill will towards Asami, after what she had been through, she didn't blame anyone for it, but she couldn't hide the feels she felt for the boy named Makko.

Throwing herself back into her bed , the water tribe girl ran her memories through her head again before once again, getting up.

'I need to get out of the house.' She murmured subconsciously before walking out of her room and down the hall to the training area outside. Since it appeared to be a bit late out, she wouldn't bother to ask the girls to help her with her air bending training in the gates, instead wanting to practice her fire-bending. It had been so long since she did just that type of practice rather than water-bending. Later she figured she could practice her earth-bending.

As she came out to the training area, a thought occurred to her that maybe Bolin would want to come train with her. Turning around, she went back to the dormitory like rooms where she could find the earth-bender only to see he was already asleep. Silently closing the door behind her, she began to tip-toe back the way she came, only to feel her back run into something soft and living. Looking up she saw Makko looking down at her.

"What are you doing?" He asked before she jumped forward, showing to have a slight shocked look on her as she yelped slightly.

"I-uh was going-" At the same point of her trying to scramble together some words, the beautiful Asami came to Makko's side with her arm familiarly wrapping around his.

"It's kind of late isn't it?" She smiled with a slight chuckle. Korra straightened up before walking off.

"I have some training to do." She replied a lot more coldly than she had planned, feeling the boy's eyes on her back as she walked past the two.

When she was out of sight, Makko looked to Asami questionably before she shrugged her shoulders.

Once out at the training grounds on her own, she let out a heavy sigh, wishing she didn't have to see the two at a time like this when her emotions were down. With another determined face, the avatar child smacked her cheeks before sliding into a pose and striking out, letting loose a large amount of flames.

The 17 year old trained tediously for two hours straight before finally slugging to the ground. Aside from her envy of Makko and Asami, the memories of Amon still striked terror into her heart, unable to deny the fact that the man was out there somewhere, plotting his plans in order to destroy her.

Acting on impulse, Korra stood up and walked off to where she kept her polarbear dog. After hooking her up with her saddle and such, the avatar rode off towards Republic city's forest. She needed some time to think, and the forest seemed like the best place to ponder away her thoughts.

As Naga trotted into the forest, the polarbear dog came to a stop near a pond inside the forest, where she relaxed near it. Korra slid off next to her friend as she sat with her knees up to her chest, staring down into the pond. Eyes narrowed on the water's surface, it gave a distinct shiny glisten, reflecting the light of the moon's rays on the area.

Tshk! Tshk!

Ears perking towards the sounds, Naga raised her head as it alerted Korra.

"What is it Naga?" She asked, her eyes looking towards the place where the noise came from.

After a few moments of silence, the girl relaxed almost a bit too soon.

Three chi-blockers came into view, their ghastly masks glowing eerily in the light.

"oh sh—!" The young avatar leapt to her feet, releasing powerful blasts of fire in a circular motion, quickly followed by a think yet powerful water whip, released from her foot. The bolo's came out before wrapping around her wrists and legs. Protectively Naga stood over her owner releasting a powerful roar at the oncoming attackers, forcing them to hesitate in their trackers.

"Naga!" Korra yelled as the polarbear dog leapt at one of them, swiping her massive bear paw at one while another came in towards Korra…

Schling!

The chi-blocker was thrown into the water by an unknown force, before metallic gleaming metal claws shone in the bright lunar light.

Blue eyes glowed in the night, very animal-like in appearance. The stranger in surprisingly swift movements made its' way over to the other two before striking up at one of their faces, while the other tried to punch, however he flowed through their movements, almost as if he knew where they were going to attack. The both of them leapt back, large claw marks scathed their clothing before they disappeared not the night.

For a moment everything was terribly quiet before the humanoid figure stood up. His features showed him to be looking at the two, staring at the awe-struck Korra.

Walking over to her slowly, she grew a bit uneasy until Naga stepped in front of her growling at the unknown spectator.

The presenter seemed to making similar barking sounds to what Naga usually made, in response, the polarbear dog moved aside, much to Korra's surprise.

"Who are you?" The avatar asked as he came over to her. A tiny flame blew from her mouth as she readied herself to breathe fire into his face, however with the sharp weapons he had on his hands, he cut the ropes with ease, releasing her from their grip.

"I am sorry…I do not speak much with people." He replied quietly, his voice sounded a lot more innocent than he appeared. His hair was black as night, while his skin tone was similar to Korra's own. The blue eyes signified to her that he had to be of water-tribe descendant. Standing up, she looked at Naga who let out a little whine before rubbing her massive head against Korra's arm, wanting to find the reassurance of her being ok. Korra wrapped her arm around her head, feeling secure with her friend beside her. The boy smiled at her quite quickly, before offering a hand free of the weaponry which he had before.

"I didn't mean to spy or anything…I was just passing through…I live close by here." He replied. Korra took his hand before getting pulled up by his strength alone.

"Nah its fine, it's a good thing you came through when you did. That was amazing the way you fought the off. What are those things you were using if I can ask?" She replied, replacing the awkward feeling with an air of acceptance. The boy pulled out the hand weapons he had been using, which revealed metallic sharp claws, similar to knives.

"Those are pretty nice." She replied before handing them back to him.

"Thanks, I made them myself" He replied quietly, if it wasn't so dark, the boy would have been blushing at that moment by her compliment.

The two went walking through the forest, chatting about whatever came to mind when the sight of Air bender island came into view.

"Well, there's my home. Maybe you should come visit sometime? It'd be a change of faces really." Korra offered with a smile. The boy smiled back genuinely.

"I'd like that. My name is Chen by the way. What is yours?" He asked.

"Korra" She replied.

His face came to shock when she said her name.

"K-korra? The avatar?" He asked, obviously not catching on after she had explained where she lived earlier.

"Yea what of it?" She asked.

"Oh nothing…well, that is really amazing. I just met the avatar today." He smiled hesitantly. "Well, guess I gotta get home, see ya sometime later Korra" He grinned before turning to walk off.

"Oh…how rare…" He suddenly spoke up as he looked down at the ground below their feet.

"what is it?" Korra asked questionably.

"This" Chen replied before bending down to pick up an oddly glowing flower.

"They are very rare and only bloom during the lunar light…here" He offered her the flower shyly, the tiny white flower that had bloomed beautifully.

"Oh uh thanks…" Korra replied, unsure of what exactly to say. Chen looked at her, his vibrant blue eyes seemed to be very glossy, Korra looked to the side, a slight warmth came over her face.

"Seeya!" He waved before running off back to the forest.

Naga came up to Korra's side before the dog looked back in the direction of Chen, before the two headed back towards her home.
