The sun was long gone beneath the edge of the horizon, and the two had already set out again. The air was already much cooler than before, and the moon's light lit up their surroundings. They'd been looking around for a few hours, but still had nothing, and the night was almost over. Korra let out a sigh, and stopped in her tracks, she opened her jaws to speak to Bolin as she was about to say something, but stopped and stared at a figure in the distance.
She shut her mouth, and grabbed his arm and started running towards the small figure in the distance. Bolin stared confused at her for a moment, but then also saw the shape in the distance and just decided to let her drag him along still.
Halfway before they got there, Korra fell to the ground in exhaustion. Bolin sat down beside her, listening to her breathing in large gasps of air. He found it cute that she was so determined to get there, and especially just dragging him along in her effort. Suposively that was one of the reasons why she got so tired that easily, because she was carrying extra weight. That didn't matter, though, the only thing that mattered was seeing what that thing was, and before he knew it he was being dragged along once again.
Korra let go of his wrist as they stood a couple of yards away from the figure, it was a small cottage, big enough to hold a family of two. Why would someone just put it in the middle of nowhere, though? They'd never know that answer, but Korra took the first step towards it and opened the front door, walking in without hesitation.
"Hello, is anyone there?" She shouted, but clearly she didn't have to, there were only two rooms by the look of it. A blast of water shot through the room, ripping down the paper wall on Korra's left side, knocking her out of the house. A fairly old woman stood ready for a fight on the other side of it as Bolin peered in, the woman shot another blast of water at him, but he merely blocked it by a few centimeters.
"Get away from my house! You aren't allowed here!" The lady yelled in a crackly voice, Korra walked in through the large hole in the other side of the wall, holding up her arms to show she meant no harm to anyone.
"We don't wish to hurt you, or do anything at the least. We just want to get out of this place, but first of all we have to know where we are." Korra spoke firmly to the lady, dropping her arms after the woman dropped her own arms.
"Well, I suppose I don't have a choice, but come in and have a cup of tea, you two must he thirsty from that horrid sun out there." She murmured, turning around out of sight towards a small table where a large set of tea cups and a large pot of tea sat. The two of them walked into the room, and sat down at the edge of the large table where their cups sat waiting for them after she carefully poured tea into each cup.
"Uhm… First of all, I'd like to ask where we are, if I may." Korra asked, half unsure if it was too soon or not to be asking any questions to the lady.
"Oh, you're in Paradise, it's where everyone visits to see the amazing scenery. Isn't it wonderful?" The older lady chuckled; sipping her cup of tea while Bolin had just finished his own, he surely was a fast drinker, and no doubt about it.
"Doesn't look like any kind of paradise to me, are you crazy or something?" She questioned her, and the old woman just stared wide eyed back at her in reply.
"You mean you haven't seen it? Oh, you must see it! I'll take you both once the sun rises, it only shows when the sun is up and shining. Then you won't think I'm a crazy old person after all." She replied back to Korra, looking away out of the small window on the side wall, the sun was rising already as they spoke. It wouldn't be long until she took them out to see what kind of "Paradise" this place was. Bolin asked for another cup of tea while Korra watched outside the window impatiently, time went by much slower as she stared at the lightening sky.
