2. The Beginning

The Legend of Korra and Kopa Chapter 1: The Beginning

It has been a couple of years since the passing of Avatar Aang and his lion Simba. The night still haunts Kopa to this very day. Though Kopa was able to push aside the memories to make it to the South Pole. There he had arrived the day of Korra's birth and he knew exactly where she was. Something clicked in him and told him exactly where she was. Since that day he kept a silent vigil of the hut, waiting for the day when they would look for her.

It was that night when it happened. Kopa had kept a watch out on top of his cliff, just above the hut, where Korra had been living. A snowstorm had blown in that night, which was no surprise to Kopa, since it happened almost every night down here. Then Kopa heard something coming from the distance.

"Do you think this could truly be the Avatar?"

"Don't know we have seen several that have claimed to be the Avatar. It is sad how many people will fake something so special."

"Well what do you expect? It's not going to be easy to find the next Avatar. Seeing how not a lot of us know about how to truly identify them, since it hasn't been done in almost 200 years."

That was when Kopa decided to give the poor old men a little hint. He let out a loud roar, drawing their attention.

"Look there! It's a lion! Do you think that is a sign that this is truly the new Avatar?"

"Could be, after all remember that Aang always had Simba around."

"Not to mention Aang had said before that an Avatar always had a lion at their side."

The men continued on as the lion watched them enter the house. Kopa then decided to get a closer look and ran down to the hut. When he got to the window he saw the men inside with Korra's mother and father. That was then that Kopa had finally recognized who the men were from. They were from the group called the White Lotus. Aang and Simba had been a part of their affairs. So it was no wonder that they were the ones that are looking for the new Avatar.

"We are happy to let you know that your search is over." said Korra's mother.

"And how do you know that your daughter is the Avatar?" One of the White Lotus asked.

"Well since Korra was born we have noticed a lion around here and he has always watched over this hut and seems like he watches over Korra as well. And if that doesn't convince you then let Korra show you. Korra honey get in here."

As an answer to her mother's calls she brought down the wall of the hut and yelled out something rather cute that made Kopa chuckle a little.

"I'm the Avatar and you better deal with it!" she shouted. Then she began bending 3 different elements at that time. Showing her guests what she could do and proved that she was truly the Avatar.

The three men looked at each other with a little worry in their faces but then showed they were glad that they had finally found the Avatar.

With that Kopa ran over to his cliff and turned to find the White Lotus heading out of the hut. This was truly the beginning of the new life of an Avatar and Kopa as her protector. With that thought in Kopa's mind he left out a mighty roar that rang throughout the South Pole. Which cause a lot of people to stop in their tracks and look up to the sky.
