Recap

Not much happened in the last chapter since it was so short of a chapter. Well in the last chapter Korra, Mako, Asami, Bolin, Tenzin, and his family decided to go on a journey so Korra can train to improve her bending skills, and maybe even learn some new ones to defeat Amon for good this time. Li BeiFong said she and her officers will stay at the Southern tribe to keep Korra's Parents safe. Amon changed his target to Mako to ensure he would get Korra this time so he could strike fear into Republic City and then control Republic city.

Chapter 3: First Stop On The Journey

Mako's p.o.v

I woke up and rubbed my eyes. For the first time in a long time I actually had a good night sleep. Not having to hear Bolin's snoring actually made the room silent so I was actually able to go to sleep earlier than usual. Of course I was the first one up I have always been an early riser ever since that horrible day those monster thugs killed my parents. When they were murdered I promised my mom before she died I would keep him safe so I taught myself to wake up earlier than Bolin so I could go get things for him to eat and make sure everything was ready since we slept at a different spot every night to ensure Bolin and I were safe. It had also become a usual routine that once I woke up I'd exercise to improve not just my strength but also bending power. So I decided to go out and train. I got up and got dressed. The house seemed to quiet when I got up you could probably hear a coin drop from the bottom floor all the way up to the 2nd floor. I then put on the heavy but soft elkson ( An elkson is like a elk and bison put together. Has the body, and legs of the bison, but the head,antlers, and tail of an elk.) skin coat on that Korra made for me since I did not have a jacket for cold weather like the South pole. I went out and the sun was just starting to rise as I began to start throwing fire balls toward icicles coming from the ground. I then began to increase the power of the flames finally I decided to finish off with my most powerful move which is lightening. I shot it up toward the sky. I then decided to head back in since the others are probably just beginning to get up. After we eat breakfast Tenzin said we would be leaving.

Korra's p.o.v

I woke up and got dressed and put my blue water tribe attire on then I put my wool boots my father made me when I decided to go to Republic City to do my air training with Tenzin. Then I place my wool elkson skirt on. Then I put my hair pieces in and got my elkson jacket my mother made for me to match Mako's that I made for him. I then got up and made sure I had all my things together so after I ate I could pack and we could leave soon so I could get to Fire Island so I could start my fire training. I hope that Iroh will teach me how to bend lightening even though Mako keeps telling me I am not yet ready for that. I must first improve my fire bending before I start my lightening training I knew he was right but I still joked with him and acted like he was wrong just to get on his nerves. I then noticed Bolin and Asami heading down stars I asked them if they saw Mako or not but they both just replied saying "he is probably just finishing his usual morning routine and probably on his way in soon". I just laughed and said "ok. Ya that is probably true". I headed downstairs to my surprise Mako was there saving me a seat. " Hey there Mr. Hat Trick..." I said to him who replied by giving me a kiss and saying " hey saved ya seat". After breakfast we all helped Pema clean up the dishes. Then I told Mako I needed to tell my parents goodbye. I had told them last night about being alive and how he was seeing revenge on me. Of course my dad wanted to then come and help protect me but finally Mako and I convinced him in staying here. He needed to be here to protect mom.

Just as we finished packing Tenzin came out and told us that we were going to be going on this journey alone. We all were shocked, but he said that we are all adults and he trusted us and that this should be not just a journey to train but to also have fun. We all have not been able to have fun since we were protecting the city so this would be the perfect opportunity to do so. He said we must stay together and watch and keep each other safe since Amon is still out there but have fun at the same time. We all agreed and thanked him for trusting us so much. I then put Naga on the sky bison and got her tack and some food for her and loaded it onto the sky bison. We took the biggest one out the ones that we brought with us so we had enough room for her and us and some other items. I then looked back at my family. I was sad and worried to leaving, worrying Amon may try to harm them but I knew if I left they would be much safer than if I was there. I told Mako, Asami and Bolin I would take the first shift at flying the bison while they all rested for the next shift. Then we headed off to start the first step of training.

Mako's p.o.v

I woke up it had felt like I was out for a long time I noticed Korra was still atop the big fluffy sky bison's head. I crawled over to talk with her and hopefully see if she would switch with me. Korra was a very stubborn person and hardly ever listened to anyone thinking she could do anything, but that is what I love about her. I got over and she said " hi there City-Boy". I laughed and kissed her which she then kissed me back. " Korra ya ready to take a break while I take over. I am already up and you need some rest and I can handle Oogie for a while", I said to Korra hoping she would give up the reigns and go get some rest. No I was wrong she instead said " no, I am good, but if ya want to keep me company you can." Korra responded back to me with a smile on her face. I could tell she really needed some sleep, but how was I suppose to get her to listen to me. Just then Asami woke up and she heard I was trying to get her to got get some rest so she came over and asked me is she could try to get her to go and get some rest.

I agreed at that point I would let anyone try to convince her. " Hey Korra why don't you let me take a shift and then you can take a nap so fully rested. If we get there early we can start training remember that is what Iroh had said." Asami said to Korra but she just shook her head and said " I got this I can fly for a couple more hours. Finally Asami said something that got her attention and I was ok with it if it meant Korra would go to bed. She said " Korra you know now that Mako is your boyfriend if you take a nap the same time he does you can lay next to him, and he would be able to keep you warm. He may even let you lay your head on his chest if you ask him nicely." Korra then turned around and looked at me and I shook my head as to say I agreed what Asami had just said. " Well I guess I could take a nap for a couple of minutes then I could come back and switch back with you Asami." Korra said as she got up and walked over toward me. I then told her that I can lay against Naga and I would only allow her to lay on my chest if she promised me to sleep. She agreed and we both walked back and once I laid down she laid down on me then I covered both of us up. I then asked if she was comfortable and she blushed as I kissed her on the forehead. I ran my fingers thru her hair and she slowly but surely began to fall asleep.

Korra's p.o.v

I woke up and noticed we were what looked like a half an hour from Fire Island. I then noticed that we would be getting to there by sunset so we not be starting training until tomorrow morning. I also noticed Bolin switched with Asami flying Oogie. I then noticed I was snuggling up with Mako I began to blush thinking to myself that I actually was sleeping on his chest. He was so warm which he use to always tell me that firebenders are naturally warm. I was thinking about getting up and switching with Bolin, but I kinda felt so comfortable in Mako's arms I felt safe and warm. I decided I would stay and go back to sleep since we were only a half an hour away and it looked like Bolin was handling everything ok. Plus I kinda did not want to leave from Mako's grip since he made me feel so safe and warm. I finally fell back asleep knowing I be seeing his face when I woke up again. I felt a warm hand on my cheek I knew this was Mako. Then I heard him call my name telling me that we were here. When I woke he said " well looks like sleeping beauty is finally awake everyone." I laughed when he said this. I got up and we kissed then headed to our cabin to put our things away. I asked Mako if he could he and I could sleep I the only room I the cabin that had two beds across from each other. I was kinda of having nightmares about Amon ever since I found out he was alive and Mako said " ok, but hopefully Tenzin does not find out" I laughed and Bolin and Asami said they would take the other two rooms down the hall. They both said they wouldn't tell Tenzin. They both knew I had been having these nightmares and Mako and I were dating and would have out own beds. So everything was ok. We then packed for the night Mako and I kissed before we got in our beds and said " I love you" just as we both faded to sleep before training began in the morning.

Well done with chapter 3. I am currently typing up chapter 4 its called training begins. Once I finish typing it I will edit it then I can publish it. I should have it up in a week or less depending on if I have to do anything during the week or not. I hope you enjoyed it. I do not own any of the names in this story they all belong to Legend Of Korra. If you would like me to add anything into this story leave a comment saying what. Also if you want me to write about any other kind of Korra ideas comment and I will see what I can do. Please comment and tell me what you think please and thank you.
