Hi guys! Wow, that's actually the biggest chapter I've ever written about Feline. So, some small revelations in here, but stay tuned for the next ones because I promise you they'll be explosive with spoilers. And some plots will start to unfold. See you at the bottom.

I couldn't believe it. Even though I thought it might be true before, now that I knew it really was true, I couldn't believe it. My mind didn't seem to be able to grasp this idea. The fact that Korra was actually dead, it was so full of consequences, so horrifying and terrible, and sad at the same time. It just felt unreal. Like I was dreaming and would wake up at any moment from this nightmare. I couldn't believe it. Somehow, finally having the proof made it even less possible. I couldn't believe it. I didn't want to believe it.

"Oh my gosh…" My hand automatically reached for my mouth and covered it like you'd cover a child's eyes in front of something traumatizing.

I could see her really clearly now, even if she seemed to float in mid-air like a ghost. She was a spirit that only I could see. I was feeling like the weight of the world just fell on my shoulders.

"How… What happened?" I asked her, not being able to suppress the hint of pity in my voice. She seemed so miserable all of a sudden, her arms crossed on her chest, her hands clutching her elbows like she was trying to keep herself warm. I wonder if the spirits can feel the cold… She seemed lost for a moment, like she was absent, but then her eyes fell on me again and I saw all the distress in her stare. She was scared.

I… I can't tell you because… I don't remember… I don't remember how I died or when or where. I don't even remember what I was doing just before it happened!

She looked away, at the sea and it seemed to calm her a little bit. She bit her lower lip as I took a step closer. I seriously didn't know what to do. Since the last Harmonic Convergence and the almost-very-close-we-nearly-died-end-of-the-world – as my father calls it – the Avatar can't ask their past lives for guidance or advice. Korra was left all alone by herself with her spirit side and I was too until today. I was hoping she'd guide me or at least help me along the way but now it seems I'm the one who will have to help her. I took a deep breath.

"Korra, where have you been all this time. Why appear to me now?"

She looked at me again and this time, she seemed more powerful, like she was taking control of her emotions.

I was in the spirit world, with Iroh. I couldn't leave it, I was too weak. It took me a dozen years to gather enough energy to travel between our worlds. But when I tried to find you, dark spirits prevented me from reaching out for you. They have been getting stronger since my demise and they have to be stopped. They're slowly taking over the light spirits and throwing the spirit world out of balance. There are only a few places safe in the spirit world left, Iroh's house is one of them. These dark spirits have been helped by evil humans or those who are unaware of the consequences of such changes. You have to stop them, Feline. You are the New Avatar.

If a rock just fell on my head, it would have been the same. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I understood every single word she said, all the sentences were perfectly clear and I could see the big picture, but one small thing kept me thinking this whole idea was flawed. And that little thing was me.

"But I can't! You expect me to save the world and become the Avatar but I don't even know how to properly airbend! And I can't even earthbend! I'm a failure and most of the time, people save me, not the other way around! Jen, Jay, Sunai, Rei even Rohan, they're all saviors, not me!"

She kept her calm like she was used to deal with such kind of talk and just watched me as I paced in a line in front of her. At this moment I was more talking to myself than her.

"And my father, my family, what do I tell them! I have to tell them you're dead, they deserve to know! And your own parents too! Oh my gosh! What am I gonna do?"

I kept talking like that, asking myself a million questions without seeing a small hint of answer on the horizon. Actually the more I talked, the more I was frightened and stressed out, but somewhat excited, just like during a fight. I was probably fighting against myself actually.

All these questions will be answered in time. For now, you need to focus on your training. Mastering all four elements won't be easy, but it's not impossible. And in time of despair, remember that Aang hadn't mastered all the elements when he began his quest to stop the Fire Lord. Also I hadn't been able to airbend at all when I took down Amon.

She then looked at me and I saw myself in her eyes, as clear and calm as two deep lakes. Just looking into her eyes calmed me and when the wind blew in my hair, sending my small beads flying, I knew I had to have hope.

You're not alone. You have your friends and family and I'm sure that other people will guide you. Maybe you should try to visit some of my own old friends, they'll probably be able to help and I'm sure they'll do anything for the new Avatar.

I saw her starting to fade away as if her very essence was disappearing.

"What's happening to you? Where are you going?"

I didn't want her to leave me just now, I had so many questions and, just like she said, she was my only connection to the spirit world.

I can't stay too long in the physical world, but the stronger you'll get, the more often you'll see me. Don't come to the spirit world just yet, it's not safe for now and you're too spiritually weak. Try to master the four elements for now. As for telling my demise, wait a little bit, until the time is right.

And just like that, she vanished again.

I seriously didn't know what to do after that. It's actually one of the airbenders who found me because the entire island had been looking for me. Rohan was worried when I left and I agreed to tell him about my fear and the sort of illusion I saw during the fight. It seemed only to happen when I was facing a firebender though. We talked after dinner and Tenzin joined the conversation. He tried to reassure me, telling me that Korra had the same problem after her poisoning, but it didn't cheer me up at all. During the whole talk, I was thinking that it's not a good idea for me to firebend for now and that I really should start some serious airbending, nothing like the small things we did today. And I was also thinking how to tell the world Korra's dead, even though I wasn't planning on doing so in the next few days. But I knew I'd have to do it eventually. I wouldn't be able to hide my other bendings for ever.

I promised Tenzin to work on my airbending the next day and asked him for more difficult stuff but I also asked for my morning off. I wanted to give Rei the money as soon as possible and I also sort of promised Sunai to help him with his father's car problem. Tenzin complained a bit about me being impatient when I asked for more advanced airbending, but he eventually agreed. Rohan was delighted.

The next morning, I took off with Jen and went to Mako's place to pick up the money and some of my clothes, since I'd be pretty much always staying at Air Temple Island for the next week or so. Tenzin already told the detective everything that happened and so he wasn't mad or impatient for me to tell him. Sen was already at school and Jay was about to go to work after Mako who was already gone. Lin gave him another chance and he did some pretty decent working since he came from Zaofu. He actually helped a lot during the investigation on the train attack and got a brand new police officer badge. I still regret I lost his former one.

When I got into my room in Mako's apartment, I took the pouch of money my parents left me to pay Rei and I put some clothes in a big bag that I later swung onto my back. I still haven't found a decent pouch to attach on my belt behind my back. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to find a new one as useful as the one I lost during the train attack. I'm sadder about Jay's badge and my family picture than the actual money that was in it.

After one last glance, I walked out of the room and almost ran into Jay. We both apologized and then laughed. And then, without saying anything, just looking into each other's eyes, we both ran for the door. It's one of these things we still did even when we were grownups. But I wasn't always the one to win. This time, I reached the handle first and was about to run the whole way down the staircase and out of the building, ready to proudly and loudly announce my victory to the world, no matter how silly it seemed, but he pushed the door the moment I was opening it. As a result, we both pathetically fell to the ground, our limbs intertwined, laughing our heads off, just happy to be simply goofing around.

That is, until Sunai came in. We didn't see him at first. But his presence became not possible to ignore when he was towering us with his shadow, a faint smile upon his lips but his eyes not quite understanding what the hell we were doing.

"Am I interrupting something?" Asked Sunai. Is it just me or did I really hear a hint of jealousy in his voice?

"No!" I quickly got up and put my clothes back in order, slightly blushing. "Not at all."

Jay was almost like a brother, but I still couldn't suppress the redness of my cheeks and tried to hide my embarrassment in a quick diversion question.

"I believe you remember Jairo, my cousin?"

Sunai nodded as he watched Jay get up, all cocky and proud as usual. At this moment, I wanted to wipe this ferocious smile off my cousin's face.

"Yes, we met the night your father told us his youth stories and all kinds of legends." He still seemed upset, but at least, his spark of admiration when he talks about my hero of a father was lighten up and shining more brightly than ever.

"Were you going somewhere?" Sunai suddenly asks. It seems he's eager to change the subject too. Jay proudly showed his badge and said "To work, mate!" And then he patted him on the shoulder. Sunai wasn't expecting that and looked at Jay as if he had two heads.

"Before I go, Feline, do you have any plans for Friday's evening?"

"No, why?"

"Then it's decided, we'll go to the restaurant. And you can come too, Sunai if you want."

Sunai was about to reply, probably to give him a negative answer, but Jay was already gone so I closed and locked the door. Mako gave me a double of the keys, just in case and I always carry it in my pocket, not my pouch. Lucky me, I guess.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as we were both getting down the stairs.

"Remember when I told you about my father's car problem? Well, I actually need your help… would you mind helping me talk to Asami?"

I wasn't expecting that and for a moment I said nothing.

"Yeah… sure, no problem! I was actually about to go give Rei the money we owe her and we can go afterwards!"

I think that, because he saw me so enthusiastic, he didn't dare say no and just followed me. We quickly arrived at the Pile of Spares were Rei told us she'd be. It's been a couple of days since the last time we saw her but I was pretty sure I'd recognize her without a problem. You just don't forget a person like her, even if you want to. We entered the place without anyone stopping us, after all, just like Chakka had said, this was a free place and everyone was welcome. But there were dozens of people and so we tried to find Rei but it was almost impossible.

"Let's get to the main hangar and see if we can find somebody to tell us where she is." Sunai nodded and at the same moment, I saw something on a pile of wheels. I got closer and water guy just followed, wondering what I saw. A small white rodent was sitting at the top of the pile of wheels, just at my eye level.

"Hi Johnny!" The meadow vole seemed to recognize me. "Can you show us where Rei is?"

" You don't actually think this mouse is going to…" Sunai started but Johnny leaped off the pile, landed smoothly on the dusty ground and sped towards the throng of cars and different engines that littered the place, with always people bustling around them like a swarm of bees. I realized that, just like last time, two or three, four at most, persons were dealing with each vehicle and most of them were cars of motorbikes. I got the feeling they were preparing the vehicles for something big. A shiver went down my spine but I ran after Johnny.

"Come on!" I yelled at Sunai as I grabbed his hand.

Miraculously, Johnny didn't get stomped or squashed and made it safely to Rei. That day, she just had a wide strip of fabric around her breasts. There was a huge phoenix tattoo all over her back. She was wearing her usual pants and boots but a scarf was covering her head, keeping her red curls from falling in her face. Her goggles were on her eyes and Bonny's hood was wide open. Some sparks flew out of the part of the engine she was working on.

"Hi Rei."

She didn't seem to hear us so I said it again, louder this time. She turned to face us and a wide smile appeared on her lips when she saw the money pouch I was holding. She took off her goggles and black traces were left around her eyes. She probably knew it since it wasn't the first time she was repairing her baby, but she did nothing to wipe them and it was kind of funny to look at her. She closed the hood of the quad and started counting the money on it. After an eternity, she put the money in her pocket and shook both our hands.

"It's a pleasure to make deals with you guys. Come and see me anytime you want! And if some day you have an engine problem, you can count on me, I'll give you a ten percent discount."

She grabbed her tools and was about to go back to work but I asked her a last question.

"Hey Rei, what's happening here? What are all these vehicles for?"

She smiled and patted Bonny on the hood. Some dust flew.

"People are getting ready for the big event. The Great Flash Race will take place here, in Republic City this Saturday, right out in the outskirts of the city. And I'm going to win!"

She then told us that some important fancy business man had thrown thousands of yuans into this race, that he was going to bet all along the race so the winner will get a lot of money. She seemed so excited and ready to face an entire herd of rabid goat gorillas that we decided not to argue. She should have finished the repairs on Bonny by the end of the week now that she had the money and she even invited us to come and see her. She actually gave us tickets and I thanked her, promising to come. Sunai didn't say anything.

We made our way to Asami's skyscraper, one of the highest in the whole city if not the highest. Sunai got more and more nervous as we were getting closer. "You okay?" I asked him as we were sitting in the tramway. He nodded and said nothing.

"You don't have to come to the restaurant with me and Jay if you don't want to… or we can pay for you, it's no big deal."

He looked me in the eye and I almost drowned in the clear and enchanting color and brightness of his eyes. The sunlight of the now upcoming noon shed some rays on his dark face that just made him look so sexy that I couldn't say anything else.

"It is to me. I'll come and I can pay. I haven't got enough to repay your father my half yet, but I've got some decent money. I've been working a bit at a shop in the city center and I made some money, enough to pay for a small room above the shop and to pay for a meal in a restaurant with you guys."

He looked at his feet and his hands gripped the top of his dark blue trousers.

"It's just… I never thought I'd get the chance to meet Asami…"

So that's why he's being nervous. "Don't worry. She could probably kick your ass with her fighting skills and all, but she's really nice. Just like the other heroes you've already met."

We didn't say anything else until we arrived. The people working in her office already knew me and they just smiled and politely greeted us. They didn't ask anything about Sunai and just let us enter the lift. After a few minutes, we were at the top of the building and I knocked at Asami's very own office door.

"Come in!" Said a feminine voice from behind it.

I pushed the door open and went inside, Sunai following me. I was secretly hoping he wouldn't faint but since he didn't in front of my parents, I thought it was pretty safe. As always, Asami was wearing a really elegant and very professional outfit, with the logo of Future Industries on the sleeves. She was sitting behind a huge mahogany desk and pictures of her loved ones were littering another piece of furniture just on the left. The room was pretty small actually but since the back wall was entirely made of glass, it made the office seem bigger.

"Feline! It's good to see you! It's been a while! How can I help you today? But first, would you like some tea or coffee?"

I gently smile. She looks beautiful today, well she always does, but I really like how she did her hair today, this red flower just above her ear is really lovely.

"No thanks, it's sweet of you though."

I look at Sunai.

"Aunt Asami, this is Sunai. He's here to ask you something."

At the sound of his name, her smile immediately faded. She slowly rose from her chair and slammed her fists on the table.

"What are you doing here?!"

So, it's me again. This chapter is sort of longer than what I had in mind at first, but I guess it's a good thing. I seriously have to write down what's going to happen in the next chapters, in order not to forget anything. We won't see the Tyrian Blaze for a little bit (or we will, I don't know yet, MWAHAHAHA I'm so mean... *coughs*). Sunai's going to be in the picture next time and Sen also. He's just such a sweet little guy, I have to write more about him. So this dinner Jay talked about, watch out for this, it's going to be really... how can I say it... wet? And the Great Flash Race, it's going to be important too. The airbender kids as I like to call them, that is Jinora, Ikki, Meelo and Rohan won't come right away (except Rohan who's kind of hitting on Feline if you know what I mean) but they'll come around enventually, just as the other The Legend of Korra characters. I've also got some villains in store for you guys, different from the triads bosses so stay tunned. Feline will soon reveal she's the Avatar and some spoilers will be exposed, be ready to discover some of the deepest and well hidden mysteries of the realm of Avatar and... Ok, I'll stop there.

Anyway, if you have any questions, suggestions, critics or anything (we can just talk and drink tea, jasmine is preferable) don't hesitate to write, or fav or follow, I'm not just trying to sell the story, but I really do enjoy reading you guys and seeing that so many of you are actually interested in this story.

For next week, to keep you hungry my little wolves : MOTHER - ADVANCED AIRBENDING - HARD WORK

See you next week guys, wish you all well and see you soon
