PROLOGUE

Bolin ran to the temple, hesitant to tell the group some news, news about Mako. "Guys, guys." He stopped short of breath for a little bit then cleared his throat. "It's Mako, he sent another letter. Well postcard to be exact." Mako four months ago mysteriously left on his own. Others wondered why he left, a reason they speculated was the relationship Korra and Asami, two girls he held dear feelings, now were in love with each other. During work, he became somewhat sloppy here and there, worked late, and became somewhat distant to the girls. The group understood this. However, later Mako claimed he was "busy" and started being distant by taking in night shifts, double even. He then began mumbling to himself and started writing down in a small notebook. If anyone asked what he was writing for, he would shrug it off as "just work" and would continue scribbling. And he would do this frequently sometimes during meals where he was interrupted to stop writing. During shifts, his brother became worried that Mako uses work to drown himself to forgetting his feelings for the two. He would share what he would write to his brother in few instances on cases, but Mako looked like he was always writing, as if Mako was writing for beyond work reasons. Bolin would try to find the notebook and peek what was inside it but Mako always kept in a clever spot, never to be found. One morning, Bolin woke up from his bed next to Mako's. He wondered where Mako was, usually he would wake earlier than him. On his bed was a letter. On the envelope it reads "I'm Sorry" across. Bolin quickly opened the envelope for the letter. The letter would only contain a few sentences. "Sorry I had to leave out of the blue. During work I encountered something that shocked me. During then I had to make sure. Now I'm off to find it. See you." – MAKO Bolin later read the letter to everybody. "What does it say?" Asked Korra. Asami turned to Korra then to Bolin "Is he coming back?" "I finally found what I was looking for." He read with enthusiasm. "But now…" he began to trail off a little "I think I need to find something important. I am going to be gone away longer. Sorry, again" - MAKO. Bolin felt so discouraged, he was gone for so long. "Why did he have to go?" He yelled. Korra puts her hand on his shoulder. "I don't know. Mako sometimes acts on his own and whatever he's looking for, or was looking for seems unreasonable now. Right now all I can say is he's making us wait for a very long time for a very long answer." Bolin looks to Korra. "But why?" "I hope the reason why he left was about me and Korra." Asami said looking down. "I hope so too."

On top of a ridge and valley there were two who were camping. One was tending the meal they were going to eat, and the other was looking at the night sky at the edge of a cliff.

"Hey dinner's almost ready"

"Thanks"

"You've been looking at the stars frequently, you know."

"Have I?"

"Yeah." He knelt up and cleaned his hand with a rag. "And you asked me, to ask you this every now and then…"

"Mmmhhmmm" He said while continuing to gaze up.

"It's been ten months since you and I left my town, to do this…"

"What about it?" "Mako are you by any chance homesick?" He sighed. "Yeah. I think I'm homesick now." He looked back at him.

"Alright then. Are we near by any chance?" He stood up and swept his hands together. "Yeah, it's a week's journey in total from here, I think." "Can't wait to meet them." He said nervously. "Don't' worry they'll like you." He said confidently.

He sighed "Hope so."
