A chapter a day after the last one. It will take a few weeks though before I can write a new chapter for the story. Thank you all for your support on this fanfiction, the fandom itself is something I only watch at my aunt's cottage and I'm glad I took my time to do it.

Lim used his birth given bending to move water out of the cylinder and move it in the air. People noticed a man bending water in Republic City now; no one was excited or angry about his bending. Lim made them awe as a dot of water came to be on his second finger, he stopped bending to touch the water and it was raised with his water changing shape for their entertainment.

Like a manager of a Mover star—someone now more famous than Bolin—the glossy hair moustache man Varric grabbed Lim's shoulders. He was trying to massage Lim's shoulders.

"I know what this boy needs. He needs the Varric outfitting expertise. He's leaving now for a show he will appear in."

Lim's Donkey-Giraffe moved in front of Varric and Lim to hide them from the crowd. Lim brought Varric's ear to him when he whispered his request of Varric finding a stable for Cheesewire. He was however split from Varric by a silent brown haired woman with glasses.

"This is my lovely wife Zhu Li. She can help you with your exotic animal." Said Varric.

"I also want you to take me to Kuvira."

All the color on Varric's face was flushed out by Lim just mentioning that monstrous woman. He had to give him some words of advice warning him how tyrannical Kuvira can be.

"I tell her not to use spirit vines to make a weapon and she chokes me with her metal bending. Don't look for her, nothing you her will be answered without her bending reaching for your throat."

"Let me see her. It's not only because she's a strong earth bender and a mighty metal bender, my explanation is menial but I have enough leverage to make you deliver me."

After riling up the crowd of people with water bending no one's ever seen, Lim and Cheesewire were flying to Wu's city on a flying machine.

"Honey, Zhu Li, do the thing." Varric said.

Zhu Li used a kitchen knife, a bowl of fruit, and a burner to make a delicious drink for the three of them. The three were Lim, Varric, and Zhu Li.

"Korra called to tell me you can make water turn gold." Varric said after drinking and getting the beverage on his moustache. "She knows I can smell talent on a person. What I want from you is a sample."

"I want Kuvira to have a deal: when people are taken, I can find where they are with her."

"The real answer is Toph!" Varric shouted.

Varric walked out of the room and came back with two plants. One was a prickly thorn and the other were orange star-shaped flowers with yellow pollen.

"One of these flowers is Kuvira and the other is Toph. I'm not normally someone trying to simplify people with flowers. The fact is I need to clarify what a short lived beautiful but painful to grab a handle on flower Kuvira is. The other flower is open and pretty to look at because it grows with age."

Lim asked Varric if his friend Cheesewire could eat the flower—to ask something like that was agitating for Varric to hear.

Lim saw a giant mountain. He soon stood on the mountain discovering the peak was really a prison. Varric was a man who preferred not to be inside a prison—in an excited stupor he admitted to being in a prison cell twice—he stayed on the flying machine while Lim approached two guards with spears.

"We'll let you in if you let a guard watch you." The guard at the left side of the gate said.

Lim walked until he saw long dirty dark hair attached to the scalp of a beautiful girl in a metal box. The box was one of the three boxes Kuvira trapped Suyin and her sons Wei and Wang; she was powerless just like them in that box. Lim gained entry into the room thanks to his permission to speak with her up close.

"I heard how you surrendered after nearly dying in the Spirit World." Lim said. His choke of words made her feel resentment towards the boy who wasn't actually there.

"If I could go back I wouldn't have started a war against Suyin, but she tried to kidnap me in my sleep. Now whatever life I have left is being punished."

Lim showed Kuvira one of his fingers. In the dark dreary room her eyes didn't see the water spinning from his finger. Without warning, the metal split open while Kuvira's body felt cool after being heated for a short time—she was placed in the metal for her meeting with Lim.

"My name is Lim. I may be a water bender, but after the one-hundred-year war I lived in a fire bending town, my original home before I was two and learned water bending from my Dad. When you were as big as Princess Azula—strong but not right in the head—I was a big fan of yours. At least I was until I heard the slave labor you put non-benders and earth benders through and the "re-education" you put fire benders and water benders in."

Kuvira's last examination after being freed were her wrists. She now looked at Lim. Lim expected a fight from her, but instead of a fight…tears streamed down her face.

"I'm sorry."

The guards never seen her cry. It was apparent to them all earth benders had no allegiance with her. In prison her only hope was a different bender could help her.

"Please wait." Lim bended a pike of ice he crafted on his finger. He used it to cut off clothes on his pant leg and gave it to Kuriva. "For a day, you'll be back in the earth nation helping me fight a lava bender."

Kuvira walked next to Lim back to the ship. Lim admitted to her he like many kids in the fire nation developed a love of classical music. He told her how she didn't have to apologize for anything Varric said she did in 174 AG. The door to the flying machine opened with Varric walking out.

Zhu Li was also in the opening of the door. She had Cheesewire wearing reins over his face. Cheesewire seemed to like her since the moment she was left with caring for him.

"I warn you Kuvira…there is a group of guards tasked with making sure the plane lands safely."

Kuvira looked at Zhu Li remembering the word Monster that was said to the metal bender when she tried fixing the world.

"Where are their manners? You are my guest so we should get you to bed before your eyelids wilt."

Lim helped her walk past Varric and Zhu Li. Kim expected a commanding general when she woke up. Right now, Kuvira shed a tear from Varric and Zhu Li's hostility.

"A long time ago, I had a mother who loved my father enough to fight with him on the battlefield against Unalaq's men. Although most troops led by Korra's father made it out alive…my mother died. Three years later, he had gotten remarried. If one of us dies from lava—lava spews deathly smoke—the other can tell my father how brave, we were. You won't be a prisoner who was mad with power and my another has another kid."
