#2. victory:

It took five long years, but they finally won the war.

She killed Amon; the feat was anticlimactic to say the least. A quick slit of the throat, with a platinum blade of all things. Then it was over, just like that.

The Equalist movement slowly crumbled, no one left in the picture to call the shots. Of course, the anti-bending resistance still remained, but - with the help of the metalbenders - forces dwindled into virtual nonexistence.

It was a victory for Republic City, a victory for the Avatar: balance had been restored.

It wasn't a victory for Korra.

Too many people lost their lives, lost their homes, lost everything. Many of them were her friends. How could she possibly consider that a triumph?
