Chapter 10
Mako:
It was so great to see Bolin. I'm so glad that Korra brought him to the spirit world. He must feel so relieved to know that he can visit me whenever he wants, even though I am dead. I can't thank Korra enough.
Korra.
I wonder why she just ran up and kissed me. I'm not complaining or anything, but it was very unlike her. Then she told me she loved me again. I loved her more than anything in the world. I would do anything for her. To her, I thought with a groan.
I needed to show her that we can make this work. We can make this complicated relationship work out. I need something to show her that I truly love her.
Maybe a walk would help me think of ideas. I was sitting in my usual spot in the grass by the portal. I stood up, looked around, picked a direction, and started walking. This was my daily routine now as I had nothing else to do. I spent my time thinking about my friends and family and waiting for them to show up.
I started over to a path that went under the trees and through the forest. When I made my way through, I passed a lot of spirits. I was surprised because I had never seen so many in one place. They giggled as I walked by them and I smiled at the ones who looked at me.
"Hi Mako!" a small orange spirit said to me. It was on the chubbier side and had four green leaves sticking out of its back.
"Uh… how do you know my name?"
"Everyone knows your name. You are the newest addition to the spirit world."
We kept walking and I saw a clearing in the distance.
I smiled, "It is nice to meet you spirit."
"It's nice to meet you too."
By then, we reached the clearing and I stuck my hand out to keep the underbrush from scratching my face. When I looked up, I saw a beautiful blue house at the edge of a cliff. It had big white-paneled windows in front. Behind the house, I could see vast mountains. We were high enough up that I could see the mist that was forming at the snowy peaks.
"Wow. Who's house is that?" I went to ask the spirit, but it was gone.
I turned around and saw that I was now alone. I slowly made my way up to the grand front door. There was a small piece of parchment taped on it. I ripped it off and read the writing.
This is a present for you, Mako. All the spirits (and Iroh) want to welcome you to the spirit world.
I looked from the note to the house, and then back to the note. This house was mine? I pulled opened the door and stepped inside. It was breathtaking on the inside, too. There were big windows on the back wall of the house. I could see a huge majority of the spirit world from where I stood. I took in the whole layout of the house.
As I stood at the front door, there was a small bathroom to my right. There was no shower or bathtub. Past the bathroom, was my new living room. There was one big couch and a small arm chair. I was delighted to see the radio on the coffee table. Straight in front of me was the kitchen. It was relatively big and still had the amazing view of the mountains. By looking through the windows at the back of the house, I could see a deck.
To the left was wide a hallway. I walked down to found a small bedroom with a queen bed inside. This is probably going to be my bedroom? There was also a bathroom attached to it, this time it came with a tub. I walked further down the hall and came to what looked like a place to wash clothes. The last door was at the very end of the hall. I pushed open the double-doors and couldn't keep my mouth from falling open.
There was a very large bed in the center of the room. To the right of it were the same big windows that ran along the whole back of the house. There were red and blue curtains that hung from the ceiling to the floor. The doors to a separate balcony were open and the curtains were blowing gently in the wind.
To the left of the room was a bathroom. This room was less extravagant but still beautiful. There was a large clawfoot tub in one corner. It was blue with red designs mixed in. There were two sinks rested up against the other wall. An open shower was located in corner opposite to the tub. There aren't any curtains...hmm? The toilet sat at the back of the bathroom.
I walked out into the living room again and opened the door to the deck. I leaned up against the railing, letting the wind hit my face and rustle my hair. I let myself admire my surroundings as I gazed down upon the spirit world.
This house was almost too nice. I never imagined owning a house like this. In comparison to Asami's mansion, this is nothing. But I like the coziness of it. The house was full of blues and reds and it reminded me of Korra and I.
That's it! I could show Korra how much she means to me, by showing her this house. In a way, I feel like this place was meant for us.
She will love it.
