Korra's POV
Sometimes, it easier to just give up, but sometimes, if you keep on fighting, it will be worth it in the end. Some people have to fight, while others just sit back and relax.
Being the Avatar, I never really had the chance to just sit there, it was always training, trying to be the best I could be. Back when I had everything I wanted, it was easier to take thing for granted. Now, I would give anything for life to be like it was when I was little.
When I was eight, I made the worst mistake of my life, and that is where my story begins.
"Naga, come on", I shouted to my polar-dog puppy. Running towards my voice, Naga started to follow me up to the ship from Republic City.
Every two weeks, ships stop in the South Pole to dropped off supplies from the city that we can't get here, and I was dying to check out the ship.
Naga and I ran over the dock and onto the ship. We dodged boxes and workers and made our way to the other side of the ship. Leaning over the railing I looked over to the ocean. It was a beautiful, clear blue color with a few iceburges flouting around. Even after living in the South Pole all of my life, the ocean still took my breath away.
Soon I left, eager to see more of the ship. The workers ignored us, focused on taking the boxes off of the ship and start the journey home. I spotted a door that looked like it could lead under the ship. Running and calling Naga, I went to see what could be under the ship.
When we got under, all we could see were boxes going to Republic City. Suddenly I heard shouting and the ship moved forward, knocking me off my feet.
"Naga, what do you think that was?" My polar-dog tilted her head to the side. Running up the stairs, I peaked my head out and stared, and suddenly I relieved what was happening, the ship was moving.
Even though the ship was moving, I still didn't want to get caught and get introuble with my mother. I ran back down to wher e Naga was. She raised her head to look at me.
"We have to hide, come on!" I said, pulling Naga towards a large pile of boxes where we wouldn't be seen. When I was seated against the boxes Naga came and set heft head on my lap. I started to pet her head and whispered, "we'll get out off this, I promise." I closed my eyes and fell asleep to the rocking of the ship.
The ship stopped, causing Naga and I to be jolted awake. Suddenly, light flooded into the large room we were in. I brought my hands up to shield my face and walked back to get my polar-dog to get off. We dodged workers who shouted, "freeloaders!"
We ran around the city in search for a way to get home. Around noon, I stared to get hungry. Yesterday, I missed dinner and I was used to get three meals a day. Spotting a food stall, I went up to it and asked for noodles and a kamono chicken.
"That will be three yuons", the food stall women said
"I don't have any money", I said.
She took her food away and closed the curtains. I walked away, saying under my breath, "Mean old lady." When it stared to get dark, I found a alley behind a café that had thrown out a days worth of bread. Splitting half of it with Naga we both dug in.
Soon , with a full stomach and aching feet, I went to sleep.
