She silently declared that enough was enough and turned to face those who she had touched, in another time, in another life, and again even now. They looked to her in anticipation for what was unbeknownst to them, a historical event. In the sense that it had never been attempted before, simply because there was none as injured to test it. But, when was just being in the Avatar's presence not a historic moment worth cherishing? The four of them had unequivocal faith in her, but one of them would rather be hung off her feet upside down than to admit it. The Master's pride was too great, for herself and this woman. Even though the expectations were unjustifiably high, there was no hesitation in the woman's face when they stood and she stated that she was ready.
She began the process of cleansing. Searching within to purge and relinquish a deep-seated impurity, with churning motions of the arms, stance firm and rigid. Damp, moist air, filled large lungs crafted by a lifetime of extreme activity, feeding a powerful heart twice the size of the average. Her blood coursed speedily along healthy veins, fueling stirring sculpted muscle, pushing out the vile burdening substance. A structure created by the Spirits themselves, harbouring and protecting the greatest of them all. Body and mind worked to free itself, to do something against its plaguing demon. It would not give up.
Yet there he was, relentless in his objective, to end her and all that she stood for. The woman grasped her chest stiff. Let go, her mantra echoed and she reaffirmed a position. The four people of varying size and age watched over what might unfold as the Avatar stood before them in preparation of self-purification.
Zaheer is gone.
Reassuming swirling action, the poison fled her body through stretched fingers, accumulating ahead in a small undulating bubble. Three little kids in aerodynamic suits gawked in awe. The earthbender hovered a seal made of rock that encapsulated the menacing liquid, afraid it should make contact with anyone but the Avatar.
"Well done, Korra," her smirk said it all.
Korra's eyes burst open with vivacious yet haunting energy, as the literal spirited voice of light itself spread out and accessed all corners of their shared being once again.
She felt free. Her energy was flowing. She was back.
A/N: In case you haven't noticed, I like to hyperbole everything about Korra because I love her so much. I loved this scene in the show, and I like to think that it wasn't just the poison stopping her from entering the Avatar State, but her earth chakra was blocked. And the earth chakra is blocked by fear...
Also, apologies that this was so short.
Thanks for reading!
