Inhaling slow with your eyes closed as you get into your stance standing in the middle of the your own practice areana your father had made for you. Once you exhale you start to firebend, making fire blast, a ring of fire, a whip of fire. As you practice your skills you incorporate air bending as well. Using the circle motion style of air bending your fire bending came out a bit different then the normal kind. But none the less you where still good. Thanks you all the training from Korra and Mako, though mainly Mako, you had become a pretty well firebender not fully up to their level just but you where getting there. And thanks to your father who explained more about your phantom bending and you being a distant from the Sun People as well getting you books on them. Allowing you to have a better understanding of the arts. Your grandmother Katara even sent you somethings that belonged to your grandmother Avanai a person whom you admitted to Mako you would like to meet one but, you couldn't since she was not here anymore. So stories where all you received.
As you practice, your three younger siblings came rushing over to you. Meelo calls your name to get your attention, which caught you off and he did as well. Jumping on you completely knocking you down. Jinora and Ikki come and stand over you.
"Kashi!"Meelo gives you a goofy smile
Despite the pain you where feeling you give your little brother a smile back, you then look up at your sisters."Yes?"you asks them.
"I thought you where practicing?"Ikki asks you with a questionable look.
You give her a look but just roll your eyes at what she said, sitting up as you place Meelo in your lap.
"I was, but what is it that you three want to talk or tell me about, and I thought you where racing with Korra on your air scooters?"
"We were, but then we came to find you."Ikki tells you giving your neck a hug.
"So I see."you tell her.
"Korra invited us to the Glacier Spirits Festival"Jinora tells you.
"I almost forgot about that, it is coming up soon. And it has been along time since I last saw grandma"you tell them excited about it"When do leave?"
"Soon"Ikki
"Great, I can use this time to make some new clothing designs based of the culture there. This is going to be great. We better start packing soon."standing up and placing Meelo down, you and your siblings run off to your rooms to pack.
In about two days everyone leaves for the Southern Water Tribe. The group took a ship there to, you enjoyed it very much, and what made it better was that Mako and Bolin as well Pabu where coming, you showed Mako your new scrap you had started for him, since your last on was full. He asked how your training was going which he you told him it was great. Leaving him with Korra since they where now a couple, you hang out with Bolin and Pabu.
Always making you laugh, Bolin tells you about his pro-bending team. And the fact it was not doing well, you showed him your fashions in your book. Which he greatly admired, you where eating lunch with him and Pabu laughing and having a good time. Your mother Pema sees you and him, she couldn't help but smile at this. Tezin comes around the corner and sees the two of you.
"It's so sweet"Pema tells him.
"...Yes well"he huffs at the thought of you being with a guy. Something he did not like or like to think about. If he had his way he would blow any guy away he felt was not good enough for you. Which was any.
"Oh Tezin"Pema shakes her head at her husband.
Finishing up your food, you felt the temperature drop, once it did you focus on yourself to heat yourself from the inside though not to high. Once the ship docks, you and siblings run to your grandma Katara she embraces you all. Standing next to her was your auntie Kya. Whom you greet as well.
You look around at the tribe, it had been sometime since you last step foot here. You do remember coming as a child before Ikki was born and few more times after.
"Look at you Kashi"Katara places her hands on the side of your face as she observers you."You are growing into a beauitful young lady, ah I see your grandmother's eyes lovely eyes coming through."she tells you warmly.
You hug her tenderly"Thank you."
"So your dad finally let you loose?"Kya"And I'm really liking your clothes. Model for me."
You laugh as you spin around"Thank you auntie I made it myself."
"Well I be"Kya"I knew you where always had talent. And your hair it grew."she pulls playfully on your ponytail"So any boyfriends yet?"
"What! No!"Your father protest angrily speaks up on your behalf
"Let me guess you blew them all way?"Kya laughs as she teases her younger brother, you couldn't help but join in.
Next thing Korra grabs hold of you and pulls you over to her, to meet her parents."Mom and Dad this Kashi, my best friend. She's Tezin's daughter"Korra introduces you."Kashi these are my parents, my mom Senna and my dad Tonraq"
"Hello, it is a pleasure to meet you."you bow to them in respect. Though Korra's mother quickly embraces you in a hug.
"It's nice to meet you as well, Korra's told us so much about you."her mother she smiles at you, you return it.
"Wow I can't believe all these people came out to greet us"Bolin comes over.
"Actually they came for them"Korra points, you turn around as well and see a royal ship pull up as the crowd started to cheer.
"The great chief of the Northean Water Tribe"Tonraq says with a bit of distaste in his voice"Comes to grace us with his presence, hooray"
"Just relax Tonraq"Senna calms her husband"He'll be gone soon enough"
Tonraq growls at bit, you watch on as a few soldiers step off followed by a man who held himself with a regal manner, he had to the chief he was then followed by two teenage twins your age dressed pretty much the infact they almost looked the same though one had markings on the corner of their eyes they both had what seemed emotionless facial expression. But they seem to carry themselves just like the man they walked behind.
"Who, are those lovely ladies?"Bolin says as he watches the teens
"That's Eska and Desna"Korra tells him"The chief's children. Desna is a guy"
"...Heh yeah sure I knew that"Bolin tries to cover it up."Ah which one is Desna?"
The chief then comes over to where Korra and the rest of where standing he and his children bow to her"Good to see you again Avatar Korra."
"Good to see you too"Korra does the same gesture back to him. The chief then looks up at Tonraq
"Tonraq"
"Brother"Tonraq to the chief, hearing that it suprised you, Bolin and Mako.
After the greets everyone heads to the festival, your siblings went to spend time with grandmother Katara, while you stayed Mako while Korra talked with her uncle. You and Mako toured the place, enjoying the festival, playing games getting your face painted Mako won you a cute turtle duck stuff animal, a few times you bumped into the twins which you greeted, they greeted you back though for some reason you felt Desna's eyes on you much to your discomfort.
After spending sometime at the festival there was a feast being held, you again stayed with Mako as you ate the chief of the Northean tribe expressed his worry over what has been happening with Southern Tribe about the Spirits.
After the feast, you left Mako with Korra and went with Asami to tour the festival at night, Jinora came with you two, while Jinora played some games you showed Asami your new designs.
"These are really good Kashi, you have such great taste. I might have to higher you as my personal designer."Asami flips through your book.
"Thanks, I've already started making a few. Though their not done just yet. My dad is getting a bit upset that my room is getting messy."you tell her.
"Well if you need more space let me know."she tells you"Oh, I really love this one. The dress is just to elegant. These clothes are way out of our time. But yet they fit in."
"I know, since where here in the Water tribe. I get see their style of clothing, go to the last few pages."
She does as you ask, and finds your drawings"Wow, you've really been busy."
"Thanks, I asked my grandma if I can start making some prototypes here. She said I can, so I've got to find some of their fabric. Plus I want to take some back home and merge their colors with a few others."
"I can't wait to see them"Asami hands you back your book.
"It's good to hear that you found a partner to help you, I'm so happy for you."you congratulate her
"Thanks, me too. Things have be hard, but now things are looking brighter. So hows your training coming along?"
"Great, as you can see I don't need to wear a jacket at all here in the snow."
"I see"
Jinora comes over to you both"Kashi, I'm going to be over there trying to win me a fish"
"Sure, I'm just going to a few booths down. There's this fabric booth I want to check out. Come meet me in a 10 minutes"
"Ok"with that Jinora goes off, you and Asami make it to the booth you wanted to go too. You ask to see some of the fabric.
"Feel"
Asami does"Wow pretty soft."
"It is I love the texture just not the color. May I see that one please"you point to a dark purple one. The man gets it for you, as you feel it with Asami.
While you and Asami where into the fabric you did not notice someone standing next to you, until you the man looks at them. You and Asami turn around to see who it was, and almost jump out of your skin. You find Desna standing there looking at you with his bored facial expression, he was just an inch taller then you. You where the shortest on team.
You smile uncomfortably."Hello prince Desna."you say to him as you try to keep your smile on your face.
"Yes, hello"he finally speaks something. He turns his attention to the fabric then to your fashion book that you had open on a page."I see you engage yourself in attire of others."he turns his look back to you."Purple?"
"Ummm...yes. I think this color is would look nice."you tell him.
"I see, tell me Kashi is it?"he asks you, you nod your head"What about my clothes, what you say of them?"
"...Well I love the sleeveless they are nicely done. That's pretty much all I can say."
"...You'er not wearing any jacket to keep you from the cold down here? Why?"he asks
"I don't really need too. I just have a higher body temperature."
"So your a firebender. You don't seem to act like one. Your more...calmer Yet your not. Are you enjoying your time here?"
"...Yes, thank you"you look around and realize his sister was not by him"Where is your sister?"
"Eska is with your earthbender friend. Right over there. He has taken a great liking to me sister"he turns around, you look and see Bolin with Eska just two booths down. Desna then blocks your view of them.
"They seem to be having fun."you tell him.
"Indeed."Deska
It grew quiet with you both"Well...ummm I should go and get my younger sister. She's umm playing to win a fish. It was nice walking to you, Prince Deska. Have a good evening."
"Do you want that color of fabric?"he asks
"Oh, ummm yes but it's alright. Here"you give the fabric back to the man"Anyway have a good evening again Deska."
With that being said you quickly grab hold of Asami and go get Jinora. Eska and Bolin come who was holding a massive amount of prizes.
"How did verbal engagement go brother?"Eska asks her twin.
"Well...it seems she left this."he picks up your fashion book.
"Kashi is all into fashion she loves to design clothes. And you know you what else loves the mornings always walking when dawn breaks. But fashion oh yeah, that is her passion."
"I was able to observer such a "he calls to fabric man, then turns to Bolin"Earthbender,you know much of the Avatar's friend. Infrom me."
As it started to get late, you meet back up with your family, Meelo and Ikki had many prizes. Korra had a place set up everyone to family had their own bunk, as you all went to rest. The sound of Naga howling caused you to wake up, rubbing your eyes you go outside. Just you do, Mako and Bolin come flying back.
"Mako! Bolin!"you go over to them, they seem find but knocked out. You look up hearing an eerie sound. You see a dark spirit attacking Korra"Korra!"you waste no time and rush to your friend's aid, you fire a blast at it. It feels it as it tries to hit you with its tail, though lucky for you, you dodge it. Still attacking it. You make your way over to Korra. And get down to help her, up.
The Spirit comes to attack you both"Korra. Kashi!"Tonraq calls to you both, you both turn and see him come waterbending as he slide on the ice, he goes to fight the Spirit surrounding it with an Ice Wall. When it look like it was working, the Spirit's tenticals brust out and attack you three. It wraps around Tonraq, Korra and you. Thrown the three of you, you scream as you get flung in the air, and land hard on the soft snow.
"...MMMmmm"you wake up a little dazed, looking around you felt a warm wonderful and comforting feeling.
"Ah, Kashi"Kya smiles you.
You turn and look at her, she was healing your abdominal. You slowly sit up, Kya stops as she helps you up, then goes back to healing you"Feeling better?"
You nod your head"...Korra!? Where's Korra?"you asks her.
"She's fine, you got quite a beating."she tells you"But looks like your done now."She stops healing you"Come on, everyone is wondering about you."She helps you stand up, you wobble a bit but regain yourself. She leds you out of bunk, it was morning time now,your Auntie and you make it over to your family. Who was loading up on Oogi. When Ikki sees you.
"Hey Kashi!"she drops the items she was carrying to wave at you.
"Kashi!"Meelo runs over to you and gives you a tight hug almost knocking you over.
"Hey Meelo."you hug him back.
"Oh, my baby."Pema comes and gives you a motherly tight hug"You had me so worried, are you feeling better?"
"Yes mom, I am. Thank you auntie Kya"you thank your aunt
"You're welcome."
The rest of your family comes over to you happy to see you alright, your father was the last one. He checked you out to make sure you where fine."Good, now that your better, we bests be going to the air temples."
"Where is Korra?"you asks him, as you notice she was not around.
"She won't be coming with us."Tezin tells you.
"Why? I thought that was going to be part of her training? The spiritual part."
"Yes, well she has a new teacher to help her in that. So we will go as a family and see it."
"But..."you
"Come on, let's load up."Tezin tells you.
Your mother, and siblings go and get on Oogi. Everyone but you"Dad..."you call to him.
Tezin turns around to you"I want to stay here, with Korra. Please?"
"Kashi, I know you want too, but we have other important matters. We have to visit the temples of your grandfather. Doesn't that sound more exciting?"
"It does, but I would like to stay here. Besides this seems more like a trip for my siblings more so then me."
He understood what you meant, though you where raised in the airbending culture, what use would you have at the temples and also since you where not really related to them, this seem better for his children then you.
"...I can't leave you alone Kashi. You'll be injured"Tenzin.
"I'll be fine dad. I'm not a little girl. I can take care of myself. Besides grandma will be here, so I won't really be left alone."You go and stand next to your grandma.
Tenzin looks at you then his mother"...Tezin, you know your daughter is right."Katara tells him.
"..."Tenzin exhales as he rubs his temples, first the Avatar now his eldest daughter not wanting to go. But seeing his mother was right, even if Tenzin did not want to leave you alone. Though it was more so out of fear considering what happen last time with Amon. And now with the Dark Spirits roaming and the way you where attacked last night. Did not help, but you seem just fine. He places his hands on your shoulders, you look up at your father waiting for him to say pulls you into a hug."Just be safe, alright?"
You smile on him"I will"
"I love you, very much."
"I love you too. Daddy"you tell him, he breaks it looking down at you as you look up at him.
His face then turns serious"But no boyfriends."
You roll your eyes, at what he said. With his blessings and your good-byes to your family. You and your grandmother watch as your family leaves with your auntie and uncle with them.
For some reason though you felt slightly scared as you watched your family fly away, you swallow a hard lump in your throat, your grandmother touches your back gently"Don't scared Kashi, the first step hard with your parents but it helps you grow. You and your father will be fine, he will grow during this time and you shall as well."
"Ok, grandma."she pulls you into a hug to comfort you.
