AN: Mermaid Korrasami, Korra being an idiot and goes for a late night swim.

I was never known for making smart decisions. I mean, when I was 6, I decided to go out even though there was a huge snowstorm going rampage outside. I was lucky my parents found me in time. Or else I would've ended up as a popsicle. (Sorry Aang. No offense.)

Or when I was ten, I came along with my parents when we paid Tenzin and his family a visit. I wanted to go ice skating outside, even though everybody warned me about the ice not being thick enough. I ended up in the water, freezing my butt off after sneaking out. Thank Raava that Naga was there. She picked me out of the water and, while she held me in her mouth, took me back to safety.

There were other moments where my decision making were put to the test. Today isn't really any different. We were once again in Republic City and I woke up in the middle of the night. It was hot. I was sweaty and I needed to cool off. So I decided to take a swim. I must've been still somewhat sleeping cause the water was not as calm as I had imagined it would be.

I dove in without second thought. Enjoying the cool water in my soaring skin. Without me realizing that I was drifting further and further away from Air Temple Island. About an hour or so later, I decided it was enough and looked around. I found myself miles off shore and panic started to build in my heart. After this swim, I was exhausted but I tried to swim back anyway.

It didn't have the effect I wanted it to have and surely, the exhaustion started to demand it's toll. I started to scream for help. With no effect at all. The waves started to grow in size and the wind started to blow more ferocious. My voice was lost in the wind and each wave that hit me, took a piece of my left over energy with it.

Each breath I took came with a stinging pain in my lungs. my side's were hurting like no other. All my muscles burned when one huge wave crashed down on me and send me several feet deep under the water surface.

I was just floating. My eyes open as I looked at the water surface. I could see the moon but I no longer was able to move. All my energy gone. 19 years old and dying like this. Way to go me. I closed my eyes and surrendered to the darkness. Ready to blow out my final breath when something wrapped around my torso from behind. I no longer cared.

Whatever it was, it dragged me to the surface and once again my lungs were filled with fresh air. I was to tired to even open my eyes, all I heard was a gentle voice.

"I got you Korra… don't worry. You'll be alright."

I don't remember what happened, I probably lost consciousness during what happened. Finally, I woke up. Slowly. I noticed that I was on my back, laying on sand. Something stroke my cheek, my neck and ended at my shoulder.

"You're awake, welcome back…" It was the same voice as before and I finally managed to open my eyes.

My breath hitched in my throat when my eyes locked with green ones. I blinked a few times before I realized that she wasn't a hallucination. "Am… I dead? Are you… an Angel… or… whatever?"

I saw the cutest blush appear on her cheeks but she shook her head. "You're not dead, if you are, so am I." she said and pushed herself up slightly with her elbow.

My eyes moved to her chest and I thought I'd die there and then. My gaze didn't stop at her chest but slid down her entire body before my eyes locked back with hers. A deep crimson now decorated my own cheeks. She's naked! What the fuck!?

"Y-y-you're… n-not wearing… a-any… clothes…" I stuttered and had a hard time to keep my eyes focused on hers.

She smiled warmly at me and slowly got back up on her feet. She walked over to the sea and stepped in the water.

"Wait, where are you going? Please don't go!"

She stopped and turned around slightly to face me. Her face a mix of fear and worry. "You should stay here Korra. Don't go out swimming again."

I got up with the speed of light and stumbled to her side. She turned around completely and caught me before I fell face first into the sand. She lowered us both down on our knees, her arms still around me to keep me steady. "You should take it easy, you were in the water for a long time…" she said, one of her pale hands tenderly caressing my cheek.

"I… uh… what's your name?" I blurted out. My hands rested on her pale thighs. "And how did you know mine?"

"You're the Avatar, everybody knows your name." she said and a soft giggle followed.

"I… well…" I stuttered and rubbed the back of my neck nervously.

"I'm Asa…-" her eyes grew wide when she looked at her right, before I could even say anything, she got up and dove into the water. I looked to my left and saw people coming my way. Exhaustion finally took over as I turned my gaze back to the ocean and my body collapsed back onto the sand. Slowly darkness started to take over my vision. My eyes still gazing towards the water surface. I blinked once when I saw someone rise up from the surface and when it dove back into the water, I swore I saw something that looked like a fish tail. Then, everything turned black.
