Chapter 1: Birth of a new child
(Disclaimer!)
The sun began to rise on the water tribe.
A call was heard by humans and animals alike.
They all made their way to Chief Korra's throne.
He Lives in You
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Night
And the spirit of life
Calling
(Oh, oh, iyo)
Mamela
(Oh, oh, iyo)
Katara was calling the people. Korra had given birth to her new child.
Katara: Ubukhosi bo khokho
We ndodana ye sizwe sonke
Wait
There's no mountain too great
Hear these words and have faith
(Oh, oh, iyo)
Oh
(Oh, oh, iyo)
Have faith
Chief Tonraq who was now a spirit in the sky was looking down on his daughter and son in law.
The wind went down greeting Katara in his presence.
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you
Chief Korra, Mekan and their son Oren arrived and the people bowed.
Korra had her newborn child in her arms.
Katara took the child and presented it to the people below.
The child bounced a little bit and smiled.
Tonraq greeted them all.

Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection

Mako and Bolin were looking.
"Aww look at him Bolin, he's a chip off the old block," Mako said, "And you know who's gonna raise him?"
"His parents?" Asami asked.
"Well sure but who's gonna teach him the important things, like how to belch and savage for food?"
Mako looked at the child.
"I tell you its gonna be just like old times. You me, Asami, and the little guy."
Katara chuckled.
"It is a girl."
"Girl."
Mako thought for a moment.
"GIRL?! Oy…"
He fainted.
Oren looked at him.
"Is he gonna be ok Mama?"
Korra laughed.
"He'll be fine dear."
Later, Katara was in her secret location and painting a picture of Korra's newborn daughter, Tihima.
"This has been quite a day for Tihima's birth. The circle of life is secured once more."
The wind was blowing.
"There's trouble…. But where?"
Someone was watching the presentation.
"Soon we will have our revenge Unalaq… Soon…."
She had given birth to a child of her own.
"You will one day be the rightful chief and avenge your father's death."
6 years later….
Oren and Tihima were helping Korra make breakfast.
Tihima looked at the food.
"Doesn't it look good Mommy, I helped with all of it."
"You sure did sweetheart," Korra said picking her up, "You make Mommy so proud."
She nuzzled Tihima's nose and she giggled.
Oren placed some food on the table.
"Alright," he said, "Its all done."
Korra turned to Oren.
"You're getting better at waterbending as well Oren."
He smiled.
"Well I did learn from the best."
"Could you two go wake up your father and tell him breakfast is ready."
"Ok," Tihimi said joyfully.
She went up to Mekan's room.
Oren chuckled and said, "Looks like he did an all nighter again."
Tihimi opened the door.
"Daddy its time to wake up!"
He was still asleep.
"Daddy….. Breakfast is ready….. waken wakey…."
Oren made his way up to the room.
"That's not gonna work Tihimi, I think its time you let an old pro show you how its done."
He did a water bending move and sprayed water on Mekan who quickly woke up.
He looked at his two children confused.
"Mommy said breakfast is ready," Tihimi said.
"Wha….."
Mekan did the move again.
"Ok, ok I'm awake!" Mekan said laughing.
Later they were having their breakfast.
"Looks like someone got their hands on a few scrolls," Mekan said.
"Actually Master Katara taught me some."
Naga was eating from her bowl.
"Daddy do you know what today is?" Tihimi asked, "Today's the day where I look around the tribe."
"Oh I haven't forgotten."
"Now Oren you won't interfere with your sister's playtime will you?" Korra asked.
"I'll be busy with my friends actually," Oren said.
"Good to know," Korra said, "I know you love your sister but even you need to give her some room to grow."
"Right Mom," Oren said.
Korra kissed his forehead.
"I can't blame you though, you get it from your grandfather."
Oren looked and Tihimi was already outside.
"Wow," she said.
She was about to walk out but Mekan caught her.
"Where do you think you're going in such a hurry."
"Come on Daddy… let go."
Oren walked out.
"Dad just wants you to be careful," he said.
Tihimi was trying to catch a butterfly.
"Tihimi accidents could happen," Mekan said, "You could easily get hurt or…."
"Hurt or stepped on or even lost."
"And remember I want you to stay inside the barriers at…"
"At all times, and if I see any strangers don't talk to them. Come straight home. Can I go now?"
Mekan chuckled.
"Very funny."
"Tihimi mind your father sweetie."
"Yes Mommy."
"And stay away from the forgotten lands."
Tenzin arrived.
"Its full of those ravaging evil outlanders."
"Tenzin's right, and you should never turn your back on them."
"How come?"
"Well…. You'll understand when you're older. Now run along and have fun."
Tihimi hugged him and walked off.
"And stay on the path I marked for you!" Oren said walking back inside.
"Doesn't she remind you of someone," Korra said turning to Mekan.
"Me?"
"She's just like you when you were a kid, with a mix of me as well."
"Right, I still think of the dangers we put ourselves in."
Korra pinned him.
"I think you mean the dangers I Put us in. She'll be fine."
They both went inside.
Oren called on Mako and Bolin.
"Uncle Mako and Bolin come here."
"What can we do for you kiddo?" Bolin asked.
"I need you to keep an eye on Tihimi and make sure she isn't hurt."
"Don't worry we'll be on her like rubble."
"I'm serious guys," Oren said, "Danger could be lurking around every rock."
They went to go find Tihima.
