Book 1
Rebirth
Chapter 1
The Cycle Continues
Korra lay in her bed, her bones aching from arthritic pain and her hair as white as the snow outside her window. Beside her, Asami looked sad because she knew her time with her love was nearing its end. Surrounding her bed were her friends Bolin, Janora, Ikki, and Meelo. Bolin walked out of the room and Opal followed him as all eyes watched him leave, except Asami who was still focused on looking at Korra as long as she could.
"Bolin?" Opal walked up behind him, "are you ok?"
"No…I am about to lose another friend, just like I lost Mako"
"Sweety, I'm sorry. I know you have known Korra for a long time, and that is why you
have to come back in here."
"I don't know if I can, I can't lose her as I did him. I never even got to say goodbye
until it was too late."
"Exactly, don't you want that chance now before it's too late? I think Mako would want
you to be by Korra's side as she journey's into the next life."
"You're right...as usual Opal, ok let's go back in" Bolin and Opal re-entered the room as
each of them looked at Korra with love and support.
Korra's breath became more labored and she saw Asami begin to shed another tear, "don't worry my love, we will see each other again, that you can be certain of." Korra's breath became more labored, raspy, and filled with short gasps for air. Finally, she let out her last breath, and in that breath light followed. Korra's vision blurred to darkness and then suddenly filled with the image of the Tree of Time, "where am I?"
"You are in spirit world Korra," as Korra turned around she saw Raava behind her,
"although our time together has come to an end, we will always share a piece of each
other. Just as I have carried a piece of those who came before you."
"Wait...does that mean that my past lives...are they still within you?"
"No, that connection to those lives was severed. However, those spirits still reside in the
spirit world."
"I understand, so I guess we have to leave each other?"
"Though my essence will be part of the new Avatar, we shall always share a connection"
"Thank you for being a great friend Raava...and companion. It was an honor to serve as
Avatar"
Raava floated toward a spirit portal and re-entered the world where a baby began crying, over the crying a voice was heard, "I shall name you Honghui".
