Please let me know what you think of this I foucused on the grammar and the vocabulary a bit more. Do you like it better this way?


Lin Beifong ran after Tenzin, but she was stopped short in her tracks when she caught sight of Tenzin, the man she loved kissing Korra. Beifong may not have seen everything that went down, but she didn't need to. She understood where she stood out of line and from then on decided that Tenzin was not the one for her. She shut her watery eyes and turned back towards the restaurant and paid the bill and let without another word.

Meanwhile Tenzin took the ferry back to Air Temple Island with an unconscious Korra in his arms. He gazed down at the Avatar with gray eyes and gave a slight shake to his head. What happened to her? He asked himself.

Back on the island Tenzin carried her back to her room and did not leave her side for the remainder of the night in fear of her going into the Avatar State again.

The gold sunlight filtered through the drawn shutters of Korra's room. A cool breeze drifted through the cracks. Tenzin looked up from his spot on the floor and laid eyes on the sleeping form of Korra.

He dared not to wake her up, but instead slowly exited the room. He made his way to the temple in hopes to talk to the spirits about what happened.

He entered the open air temple and sat down on the warm pavement and closed his eyes. At first Tenzin heard the calm voices of nature: birds chirping, the rustling of grass, the occasional chirp or murr from the monkey-lemurs.

Then slowly the cold voices of the spirits entered his ears:

"So we meet again, Tenzin of Air Temple Island, so nice of you to come and chat with us." The spirit gave a soft chuckle of gratification.

"Korra what did you do to her, why was she invoked into the Avatar State," Tenzin demanded his voice growing sharp in tone. He felt a cold sweat run down his voice as the spirit answered.

"Now, now Tenzin didn't you ever think that Korra was already in a certain stage of despair and we just 'egged her on' so to speak," The amusement in the voice dimmed down at the end.

With an intake of breath Tenzin haughtily answered, "What in hell's mind could you mean? Y-you aren't saying that she was jealous are you?"

"Precisely Tenzin, you do catch on quick," the spirit paused, "though I will not deny of me possessing her, but she let me do that. She herself may not have said it, but her heart did. I did for her what she did not have the courage to do."

"What does this mean though? Why would me kissing her calm her," Tenzin's voice rose with panic.

"Do I really have to spell it out for you? She is in love with you; she just hasn't realized it though. The love just needs to mature so don't be ever so rash as to go out with other women."

"But, I was told by you guys to ask Lin out."

"That was not me fool! That was a different one of us. Did you really think that you talked to one spirit directly? Tenzin you fool when you talk to us you talk to us ALL," the spirit scoffed.

"How can that be?"

"I am done talking to you fool." With that last sentence Tenzin's eyes were forced open and his connection with the spirits was cut off.

As his eye's adjusted to the brightness of the rising sun Tenzin wiped the sweat from his face with the back of his hand. He gave a small shake to his head. This is too complicated.


He walked the halls of the buildings of Air Temple Island. He didn't have a destination, he was only trying to distract himself from Korra, but he failed. It was no big surprise to him. Then suddenly out of nowhere he heard the scuffling of feet. It was one of the Air Acolytes.

Tenzin turned his attention to the female Air Acolyte who had a panicked expression. "What is wrong," he asked the female.

"There a young man who demands to meet with the Avatar and he won't go away no matter what we tell him and he now demands to speak with her Guardian." Tenzin looked at the woman and nodded as she proceeded to show him to the young man.

Tenzin was lead out to the dock of the island and he was met with the gold eyes of the boy who was hugging Korra. The young man crossed his arms over his chest. He had a cross expression.

"Please leave the island at once," Tenzin pointed at the waiting ferry.

The boy scoffed. "I presume that you are Korra's guardian? Look I need to see her, I heard that she went on a rampage and I want to make sure that she is ok." The boy proceeded to walk off the dock.

Tenzin held up a hand and he stopped in his tracks. "Avatar Korra is sleeping and needs her rest after her major excursion. So I will pass the message that you were here, WHEN she wakes up, what is your name, young man?"

"I've listened to people like you all my life tell me what to do, and I'm not gonna stand for it. I am going to go see Korra, and by the way my name is Mako," Mako jammed a thumb at his chest, his eyebrows drew close together.

"If you step any closer I can get you arrested for trespassing, so leave now, Mako and I will see that Korra gets your message." Tenzin pointed once again to the ferry.

Mako rolled his eyes and walked backwards toward the boat, and then he blew fire at Tenzin who deflected it. Just then Mako froze his eyes grew wide as he took a few steps forward.

"What do you think you are doing young man? Get back to the boat." Tenzin yelled, but only to be ignored by Mako who walked a bit fast towards him.

"Korra," Mako cried. Tenzin spun around and saw the young Avatar staggering across the yard towards the two men. Korra looked tired, she had bags under her eyes and her hair was in tangled tresses. Then she began to sway, Tenzin took a quick action and used an air sphere or 'scooter' to get to her faster.

He caught her just in time for her to go out cold in his arms. Mako ran up to Tenzin, panicked filled his eyes. "What happened to her?"

"She collapsed, she needs more rest. She also needs to be undisturbed, please leave NOW." His voice was firm. Mako gave a dejected expression and nodded as he slowly receded back to the ferry.

Tenzin turned his attention back to Korra who seemed to finally regain some conscious. With her lip arm she raised a hand to Tenzin's cheek and pressed it against it. "You're here," she whispered. Then she lost consciousness once again and went limp in his arms.

Perplexed Tenzin just stared at the young Avatar with wonder.
