Chapter Eleven: Tragedy
Six months later
Khari had her shirt lifted a bit to look at the small scare she had on her side. She had talked with Iroh bout what she knew and it turns out it didn't surprise him either. She was so happy to hear he did get his promotion even if he only got it because her father made it happen. There was a knock at the door, making Khari spin around. She saw Kimiko standing in the doorway staring at her funny. Khati then realized she still had her shirt pulled up. She quickly lowered her shirt before the two girls started to laugh. Khari grabbed her sword before the two girls left the room. They began to walk around the palace, soon talking about what the following weeks would hold. Khari never intended to stay at the palace as long as she had but the royal family became more like family over the past few months. About a month after Khari told everyone what had happened with her parents Izumi had summoned them to the palace. Khari and Kimiko snuck into the meeting, hoping they could figure out what was going on. The girls had never seen Izumi scream or act the way she did. They thought she was going to torch the room. Izumi was always so calm but during that meeting she wasn't herself. Khari had never seen her parents rattled by one person. Not even her Grandma Toph. To this day the girls still think about that day. Khari knew she hurt Izumi when she told her what her father did but she couldn't keep that to herself. As the girls were strolling through the palace, they saw Izumi coming in their direction with an advisor so they quickly changed their direction. Izumi took notice, making the advisor pause where he was for a moment.
"Girls, what has been going on with you lately? You have both been acting different lately. I feel like you two are avoiding me. Are you two avoiding me?" Izumi asked.
"Well, we aren't avoiding you but we aren't really trying to hang out with you either. We saw the meeting between you and my parents. We are just staying away so..." Khari never finished the sentence.
"You're scared. You're scared that you will make me mad and I'll act like that. Oh girls, I love the both of you and nothing will change that. I will never ever act like that towards you. One day if you two are lucky enough to be mothers you will understand why I did what I did. Khari, I didn't only do it because of Iroh. You have become a part of our family and like my own children I will protect you. I want you both to remember this talk. I must go now but maybe later the three of us can do something," Izumi told the girls.
Both girls nodded as Izumi and her advisor continued on. As the day continued the girls talked and joked about everything. They soon saw Sokka standing there, simply staring at Khari. The two girls gave him a concerned look before they ran over to him. He continued to stare at Khari for a moment. The girls looked at each other before they looked back at Sokka. Khari feels like everyone has been acting so weird since she got hurt. Khari sighed before she even asked him what was wrong, he spoke.
"My sister and the White Lotus want you and I to come to the Southern Water Tribe. They said Korra does well with her waterbending training but when they try to change the element she acts out or doesn't want to do anything. They think if she sees more people from Aang's time it will help her a little," Sokka finally said.
Khari only stared at her uncle. She couldn't believe that they wanted her to meet the new avatar. She had to think about it first. She didn't think she was ready to meet the new avatar. A few months ago, she was telling people that they made a mistake when they found her and now, they want her to meet the child. She walked away for a moment as she tried to think about what she wanted to do. Sokka and Kimiko knew when Khari had her answer, she would let them know. That night Izumi met with Khari and Kimiko as she said she would. The girls made their way around the palace as the sun began to set. Izumi and Kimiko stared at Khari as she thought about a trip to the South Pole. The two knew what Khari was thinking about but they didn't know what they could do or say about the situation. They left Khari for the rest of the night to try and decide what she wants to do. The following morning Khari sat with everyone at the table, still deciding what she wanted. A guard soon ran in, making everyone look up.
"Lord Zuko, I have news from the White Lotus. They said they need you, Suki, and Chief Sokka to come to the Southern Water Tribe immediately. There has been a threat on the avatar's life. They don't know much but they feel-" the guard was interrupted by Khari.
"I want to go! The White Lotus wanted me to meet Korra anyway. I mean I have lavabending, metalbending, and I'm a Beifong and if that doesn't scare someone, I don't know what will. I think this is my destiny. I'm supposed to protect her. I'm supposed to do something with her. We need her. We all have a strong bond with her already because we had one with Grandpa Aang. Please, just let me come," Khari tried to plead her case.
Zuko stared at Khari for a moment before he got up. Khari sat back in her chair without another word. Khari did not protest much of anything Lord Zuko said. She usually nodded and agreed or stayed silent if she didn't agree. She knew now was the time to be silent. She went to stand when she heard someone clear their throat. She looked up to see Lord Zuko standing in the doorway with dual katana swords. Her eyes widened as she ran over to him with excitement. She picked up one of the swords, slowly running her hand across the blade. She was so amazed at the detail that was put into the sword. Zuko nodded at her, making her grab the other sword. She had convinced them to take her and she couldn't believe it. As the group was getting ready there was a knock at Khari's door. She turned to see Kimiko standing in the doorway with something in her hand. Izumi soon walked behind her, placing a hand on her shoulder. Kimiko handed Khari a black outfit that she recognized. She looked up for a moment before looking down at the outfit.
"Kimiko, I can't take this. This was your dad's when he fought. Even if you don't want it there is still Iroh. Plus, one day one of you are bound to have children so you could pass it down," Khari said.
"He'd want you to have it. We were all young when he passed but he always told us you would do great things. You're gonna need it in the Soth Pole. It is cold there ya know. It will protect your face and you don't have to wear shoes. When you wear shoes, it is like Toph wearing shoes. You're a sitting turtleduck. Promise to stay safe. Okay?" Kimiko told Khari.
Khari hugged Kimiko and Izumi as a tear rolled down her cheek. As she put the outfit on, she could tell it had been altered so it would fit her. After she grabbed her things, she met the group by the dragon's resting area. Sokka and Zuko went on Druk while Suki and Khari went on Sakata. The fly felt like forever but when they reached the South Pole Khari pulled her mask over part of her face to keep the cold out. When they landed Khari ran over to Katara, hugging her tightly. Katara looked down at Khari but gave her brother a look. He shrugged, knowing exactly what she meant by the look. When Khari turned around, she froze. She saw her father standing there with a few members of the White Lotus. Tenzin soon turned around to see Khari standing there dressed for a fight. He gave her a concerned look but knew nothing he said would work. Khari was going to fight no matter what he said. The White Lotus told everyone what had happened and what their plan was when the threat arrived. Khari gave them a strange look. Khari knew it wouldn't be safe to move the avatar especially since they didn't know where the threat was coming from or who they were. The White Lotus sentries started to get Korra and her family ready to leave then there was an explosion. Tenzin worked on clearing the smoke as fast as he could. There was soon a loud scream, making Tenzin clear the smoke quicker. Everyone looked around to see Korra had been grabbed by four people. They threw her in a vehicle and quickly took off. Tenzin took off on his glider while Tonraq and another water bender took after them using their waterbending. Khari pulled out one of her arrows and changed its form, making a small sled. She threw it before she jumped on it, sending her cables for the vehicle. When she grabbed the vehicle, she started to pulled her cables in, trying to get herself as close as she could. The back door soon flew open and lava suddenly appeared. Khari's eyes widened before she swung her arm up, making a part of the lava solidify for her to slide across. Khari whistled, making Druk, Oogi and Sakata fly overhead. She watched as they landed a few feet in front of the vehicle, making it slam on its brakes. Khari used her cables to quick grab Korra, throwing her at Tonraq. Tonraq fled with Korra as fast as he could to get her to safety. The four members got out of the vehicle only to be surrounded by everyone. Khari saw that the lavabender was going to try and take her father out of the sky as he tried to land. She used her cables to pull his feet before she ran straight for him. The two collided, before they hit the ground. When she looked up her father was with a few sentries battling a man that looked like he had no bending. Sokka and Suki had a combustionbender and Zuko with a few sentries had a waterbender with no arms. Tonraq soon showed up to help the group. Khari was hit by a large boulder, knocking her back. Khari jumped up, soon sending her own boulder at the man. He easily dodged it, sending lava at her. Khari stuck one hand up out, making the lava push back like a wave. Khari looked down when she felt something wrap around her leg but before she could react, she was lifted from the ground. She soon started to feel cold all over and couldn't move. She looked to see she was covered in ice. There was soon a woman in her face with a grin on her face. Khari tried to not let her see the fear she was feeling but she knew it wasn't working.
"You're gonna come with us and we are going on a little trip. Maybe if you're good we will let you go," the woman told Khari.
Khari nodded, showing she understood. She saw the group she came with only standing there as Khari was taken away. She didn't scream out because she didn't want anyone to get hurt. She looked at her Uncle Sokka to see what he was saying and then she smiled at him. She soon started to count with him. One. Two. Three. She soon felt a giant gust of air in her face before she slammed against vehicle along with four invaders. Khari soon felt a sharp pain in her side. She tried to get up but struggled a bit. She saw icicles flying above her head. She tried to do something but she stumbled getting up. She heard her Uncle Sokka shout making her look up as high as she could. The only thing she saw was a figure with arrows on their body running towards her. Tenzin ran towards Khari as Zuko, Tonraq and the sentries handled the four criminals. When he tried to pick her up, he stopped for a moment when he saw the blood. He whistled, making Oogi fly near him. Tenzin helped Sokka get an injured Suki into the saddle before he got down, grabbing Khari. He looked at all the blood on the ground before he quickly jumped on Oogi. The group took off towards Katara's hut in hopes that everyone would be okay from their injuries. Tenzin pulled Khari close as he told Oogi to fly faster. A group ran out when Oogi landed to see what had happened. When Kya and Katara looked at Sokka and Tenzin they knew it wasn't good. Sokka stood, holding Suki's body in his arms as he tried to keep it together. Kya and Katara helped Sokka off of Oogi as Tenzin jumped down still holding Khari. He pushed her hair out of her face as she groaned. Suki kept her hand pressed against her wound as she started to cry. Khari's breathing got heavier, making Tenzin drop to the ground with tears in his eyes. Korra girl ran out with a polar bear dog, both poking their heads out behind a water tribe woman. She slowly made her way past the woman taking small steps towards Khari as Tenzin held her in his arms. Korra reached out, touching her arm and making her gasp. Tenzin shoved Korra to the ground, making everyone look at him.
"Get away from her! It's okay Khari, I promise. Your Aunt Kya and Gran Gran will make everything alright. You'll come home and things will be different. Khari, you're my little girl. Please. PLEASE WAKE UP!" Tenzin pleaded.
Korra watched as her airbending master broke down in front of her. Kya quickly rushed over to Tenzin to see what she could do but Khari's wounds were pretty severe to handle where they were. Kya told Tenzin to follow her and the two went into the hut. Outside the hut Katara shook her head at her brother before she placed a hand on his shoulder. Sokka shook his head in disbelief as he held Suki close, slowly stroking her face as they both cried. Katara stood, walking away to give her brother a moment. Sokka smiled a Suki even though he knew what was about to happen. Korra was picked up and taken into her hut to protect her from what was about to happen. In Katara's hut, Kya worked on Khari the best she could but things were still looking bad. Katara came to help Kya as Sokka came to sit with Tenzin. Tenzin stared at his blood-soaked robes with tears in his eyes. Sokka only shook his head before the door to Katara's door opened and Zuko appeared. The three men sat in for a few hours before the door slid open and Katara came out. She smiled a bit as she moved aside to show the men Khari resting in a bed. They all let out a sigh of relief. Zuko and Sokka stayed back as Tenzin slowly made his way into the room but stopped as soon as he got close to the bed. He soon started to walk towards the bed again, picking Khari's hand up. Everyone watched how different he was acting towards Khari at the moment. Tenzin pulled a chair close to the bed, sitting in it and pushing the hair out of Khari's face. Katara closed the door, leaving Tenzin to stay with Khari. Tenzin brought Khari's hand up to his face as he thought about the last few months. Later that night the door slid open and Kya peaked in to see Tenzin sleeping while Khari rested. She slowly started to close the door until she heard Khari gasp. Everyone ran in to see Khari sitting up, breathing heavily and looking around. Tenzin reached out for Khari but she pulled away.
"Khari, sweetheart it's okay. When you're all rested and okay to travel I'll take you home," Tenzin said.
"Who's Khari and who are you? You have tattoos like my Grandpa Aang. Are you an airbending master too?" Khari asked giving Tenzin a puzzled look.
"You're Khari. Khari, it's daddy. Your Grandpa Aang is my father. C'mon Khari, none of this is ringing a bell at all!" Tenzin started to get louder with Khari.
"Gran Gran! Wait why are you crying? Aunt Kya? Uncle Sokka? What's wrong? Umm your name is a little fuzzy right now but I know that it's really important. Wait! Iroh... no that's not right. I'm sorry. I'm really trying to remember both of you but I can't. I can't remember much of anything," Khari started to cry.
Tenzin wiped the tears out of Khari's eyes and kissed her forehead. He walked out of the room, making Khari stare at the doorway. The group stared at the little earthbending girl before Kya quickly turned. She rushed after her brother, grabbing his arm. She spun him around, making him face her. Kya smacked Tenzin across the face, knocking him to the ground. Tenzin looked at Kya from the ground before he quickly got up and made his way for Oogi. Kya shook her head because she knew her brother would never change. When Kya came back in the hut, she saw Khari staring at the floor. Zuko was telling Katara that he was going to take Sakata and Druk back to the Fire Nation. Sokka was going to leave for Kyoshi Island to prepare for Suki and her funeral. Katara tried to convince him maybe he should wait a bit but Sokka looked over at Khari and he knew that she needed Katara and Kya more. As everyone left Khari wiped the tears out of her eyes before anyone could see. Someone died. Someone that her family cared about. She didn't even remember them. She couldn't remember them. She couldn't remember if it was her fault but she knew some had died. Katara and Kya gave Khari her space as she requested but worried about her. When it was time for a meal no one really wanted to eat so they carried on with what they were doing.
Later in the Fire Nation
Zuko had finally landed with both dragons, commanding them both to go to their housing areas. He sighed as he thought about everything that had happened. He couldn't believe four members of a group could do so much damage in a battle. They wanted Korra but no one knew what they wanted her for because none of them would talk. They knew special prisons would have to be built for the four prisoners or they would get out. No prison could hold a combustionbender or a lavabender. As he walked into the palace the last thing they said rang in his ears. They would be back and everyone would be sorry. Zuko thought about how everyone was already sorry that they faced them once. There was already a death and multiple injuries. When Zuko saw Izumi, Kimiko, and Mai he paused for a moment. He tried to smile but it was becoming more difficult by the moment. When the women looked around for the other three that had gone with Zuko he only shook his head. Kimiko shook her head before she started to shout at him.
"Kimiko, please. Today was extremely difficult. We were never prepared for the threat that came. A combustionbender, a lavabender, a waterbender that uses her water for her arms, and a man who didn't even have any bending but was simply amazing at avoiding us. They call themselves the Red Lotus. There were a few injured and one fatality. It was Suki. Sokka went to Kyoshi Island to prepare everything. Khari was injured pretty bad so I left her with Katara and Kya. There is another thing. She has very little memory. She woke up and didn't remember Tenzin or even her own name. She did remember Katara, Kya and Sokka. She also remembered Aang and that airbending tattoos mean you're an airbending master because she asked Tenzin about his tattoos. She thought I was Iroh at first then corrected herself so maybe she will remember him. I'm going to pack her things. She won't be coming back here. She will stay with Katara or Tenzin mentioned taking her back to the island. Until her memory improves that would be the best," Zuko explained everything.
Three weeks later on Kyoshi Island
Khari stood in front of Kyoshi's statue, marveling in its greatness. Her memories were coming back in chunks day by day but she was still missing some of her memories. She was told that she may never get some of them back. She knew she had to accept that but she didn't know how. She felt like she lost part of herself. She heard someone call her name, making her turn around to see Iroh and Kimiko walking up to her. The royal family had been part of the memories that had come back which made her smile briefly. She sighed as she thought about why they were on Kyoshi Island. Khari smiled when she thought back to when her Aunt Suki had told her about Kyoshi Island for the first time. Kyoshi Island, where the warriors fight like girls. The Kyoshi warriors were to never be underestimated even if they were females. She heard singing, making her turn away from Iroh and Kimiko. She started to walk in the direction of the singing until someone grabbed her wrist. She looked back to see Iroh giving her a concerned look. He guided her to the funeral but she stopped outside to take a deep breath. Kimiko and Iroh stared at her from inside which made her take a step inside. She started to slowly make her way to the front but she stopped when she looked at the spot where her parents were supposed to be, only to find it empty. She didn't understand how they just didn't show up. This wasn't just some random person. This was family and family was there no matter what. She looked over at her Uncle Sokka but he only looked in the casket. She went to her seat and sat in silence, trying not to cry. One of the first memories to come back was what had happened with the avatar. Khari was told the group called themselves the Red Lotus but she didn't really care. They managed to get names out of them last week. Ghazan, Ming-Hua, P'Li, and Zaheer. Those four names will forever be in her memory. Those monsters took something from her and they almost killed her. Iroh sat next to Khari to see if he could get her to say something but she wouldn't. She sat there staring at the ground as she continued to think about the fight with the Red Lotus. She tried to think of what she could have done differently to make the outcome different. Iroh turned his head when he heard Lin and Tenzin but Khari continued to stare at the ground. Tenzin made his way over to Khari, crouching down in front of her. Iroh glared at him as he wondered what he could want. He placed his hand on Khari's lap, trying to get a reaction but there was nothing. Iroh continued to try to get Khari to speak to him but she wouldn't. She finally had enough of Iroh bothering her and she snapped. Everyone turned their heads as Khari started to shout at him.
"Will you please stop already?! Just leave me alone. I'll tell you how I feel. I'm scared! Actually I'm absolutely terrified. I barely have any of my memories. Four of the craziest people just tried to capture the avatar and do who knows what with her. My Aunt Suki just died and I couldn't protect her. I managed to protect the stupid avatar but I couldn't protect my own family. I have nightmares from that day. Nightmares that I didn't walk away. So just stop okay," Khari admitted.
Everyone in the room stared at her as the tear drops ran down her face. Iroh grabbed Khari's hand but she tried to pull away. Iroh tightened his grip on her hand, making her pull even harder. She finally managed to get out of his grasp but she lost her footing, making her fall and hit her head. Flashes of her memory started to come back before they finally stopped. Khari felt a hand touch her, making her open her eyes. She saw Iroh giving her a concerned which made her smile at him. Sokka looked at her before he crouched down, hugging her as tight as he could. As Khari hugged Sokka she didn't know who needed the hug more her or him. The funeral was conducted by one of the Kyoshi warriors. Khari grabbed Sokka's hand as the funeral continued. Khari looked down when she felt a hand on her lap to find Iroh holding onto her leg. She placed her hand on his, letting the tear drops fall. When the funeral was over the family sat in their seats for a while longer. Khari started to think about the things her Aunt Suki had done in her life. She then began to think about the things she done in her life and she realized she hadn't done much but cause trouble. She did have all her things with her because the royal family brought it so she could go back to the South Pole. She was her grandparents age when they traveled the world but was that really what she wanted. She looked around to see she was the only one still sitting in her chair so she finally got up to make her way up to the casket. She stared at Suki, hoping she would give her some type of answer. She finally did get an answer but she didn't know if her family would support her. She looked out to see everyone talking amongst each other which made this decision even harder. She slowly made her way to the group, looking at the ground the whole time. When she got to the group, they all gave her a concerned look. She didn't know how to tell them because she knew it would break their hearts.
"I've been thinking a little bit. Now that I'm strong again I think it is time for me to leave the South Pole. I'm not going to the island or back to the palace either. I was thinking of all the things Aunt Suki did in her life. There was so much she accomplished. I hope I don't have to help end a war but I don't feel like I've accomplished anything in my life. I'll be fourteen soon and I don't want to live with any regrets. I'm around the same age as you were Gran Gran when you and Uncle Sokka left the South Pole to help Grandpa Aang end the war. I could go with someone to the main land of the Earth Kingdom and travel then eventually make my way back to the South Pole. I can't take this being told where to go because I was hurt anymore. I need to find myself. I haven't felt like myself since Grandpa Aang died," Khari said.
"You're only a child," Tenzin argued.
"So, and you're a negligent parent who thought he could take advantage of my injuries and memory loss. Oh, sorry I thought we were stating facts here. I get it dad, out of all of your children I'm the family disappointment. I'm thirteen, dad. I can't be trapped on an island my who life like you, Aunt Kya and Uncle Bumi. They left to travel because that island may make some people happy but people who have a free spirit it makes them stir-crazy. That island brings up horrible memories for me. Even if you two acted different, Grandpa Aang isn't there anymore. I watched him die that day on that island. I, A CHILD WATCHED MY OWN GRANDFATHER DIE. I was expected to get over that part though and I can't. I can't go back to that island. Right now, the South Pole doesn't have great memories either. Aunt Suki died, I got hurt, and Grandpa Aang's reincarnation is there. I'm just not ready for that," Khari responded.
"I'll take her! I'll take her with me to the main land when I go to the Earth Kingdom. I have to travel through a bit so if Khari lets me, I will go with her to make sure she is safe," Iroh said as everyone turned their attention to him. "We have to get ready soon though I have to be back and even with Satomobiles if I don't leave today, I won't make it back to my post in time."
Iroh and Khari looked at each other before they looked at everyone else. The adults finally nodded which made the two smile. Khari wrapped her arms around Iroh and he laughed in her ear. She looked up at him for a moment before she pulled away. The two started to pack their things before they faced their family to say goodbye. Khari knew her goodbyes would be so hard but it was time. Katara held her arms out, making Khari run into them. Bumi, Kya, and Sokka soon joined in on the, making Khari blink back tears. She felt someone tap her on the shoulder, making her turn around to see Toph with her arms crossed. Khari hugged Toph and thought about how she should stop in Gaoling on her travels. Kimiko hugged her and made Khari promise that she would write and stay safe. Khari thought Kimiko was being a little ridiculous but Khari told Kimiko she would do everything she asked. Lin and Tenzin stood in the distance, watching as Izumi pushed some of Khari's hair behind her ear. The remaining royal family hugged Khari, only leaving her parents and brothers. Everyone turned to Tenzin and Lin to see what they would do but they only stood there. Khari stared at them, hoping that they wouldn't let her down for once it her life. She decided if they weren't coming to her she would go to them. She walked over to them, hugging her mother first. Lin stood there for a moment. It had been so long since Khari hugged her so she was a bit shocked. Tenzin looked at Lin for a moment but before Lin could react Khari had hugged Tenzin and was gone. She didn't realize how much she missed Khari's hugs. They all watched as Khari and Iroh got onto the ship to leave. The two turned to see everyone waving at them so they gave them a smile and waved back.
"Iroh, am I making the right decision?" Khari asked.
"Did the decision hurt? Does leaving them hurt? Did not going home with one of them hurt? If the answer is yes to those questions then you're probably making the right decision. When I first left for the United Forces it was hard. Other than you, all I thought about was home. I even thought about leaving to go back home at one point. It's gonna be hard for a while but it will get better and like you told them you'll make your way back to the South Pole when you're done," Iroh tried to assure her.
"Did we make the right decision by letting her go?" Kya asked.
"Does it hurt now that she is going on her own? Are you terrified for her?" Izumi asked.
"Yes," They all responded.
"Then you are making the right decision. We all knew Khari had a free spirit and we would have to let her go one day. We couldn't keep her little and protected with us forever. She'd find a way to get away somehow. When Iroh left for the United Forces I was devasted. I stayed in his room for a couple day. To this day I still have his favorite shirt in my room. When Khari came to the palace, I put her in there. It gave me more of a reason to go into the room. Khari will do just fine and if not, she knows where she can run. I think we are going to be taking it harder than her," Izumi said.
On the ship Khari had placed her head on Iroh's shoulder as she tried to stay awake. The two joked as the ship sailed across the water. Khari didn't realize how much she missed Iroh in the short amount of time they had been apart. Iroh went to ask Khari a question but saw she was already asleep. He grabbed his jacket, tossing it over her. When the ship docked Iroh woke Khari and the two made their way through the Earth Kingdom. They soon came to a sign and that's when Khari knew they would part ways. She had to go in the opposite direction as Iroh. She didn't have to but she wanted to go that way. She wanted to go to Gaoling. The two placed their things on the ground for a moment before she hugged him. She took a deep breath, smelling whatever, he had put on. She pulled away from him to see him looking down at her.
"Goodbye Khari, I'll miss you. I'll promise to write you and you have to let me know where you are going. Please keep me updated so I know you're safe. I also put a map in your bag if you get lost. Stay safe, it can get kinda crazy out here," Iroh whispered.
"I promise. I'm going to Gaoling first. That's where Grandma Toph is from. I think I'm going to travel all over the Earth Kingdom then stop off in Zaofu to see my Aunt Suyin. I'll miss you too. Stay safe brave solider boy," Khari whispered back.
(Author's Note: So, I wanted Khari to go travel by herself. Also, yes, we had the Red Lotus. I did want to show that Lin and Tenzin do care for their daughter they just I don't know how to describe it. I know we had another tragic death, sad yet needed to help Khari. Yes, we kinda get a bit of what happen to the royal children's father. I don't know how much more detail I want to go into that. I also wanted Izumi to use her authority to shake Lin and Tenzin a bit. I really hope you guys are enjoying it so far. Drop a review. Thanks so much.)
