AN: Hello, my readers! Happy 2020! I begin this new decade with this story that one day crossed my mind. Enjoy it.
The chronological order is as follows:
The world of 'The legend of Korra' is placed shortly after 'Turf Wars'
The world of 'Frozen' is placed after the first film.
I don't own anything.
Korra had been through a lot in her life: discovering that she was the Avatar, being in a training center (although she would consider it a prison) where she had been training in firebending, earthbending, and waterbending for many, many years; traveling to the Air Temple Island in Republic City to train in airbender, to face a group of Equalists whose leader turned out to be a bloodbender, to fight against her uncle who merged with an ancient, powerful and evil spirit, to face a terrorist group that almost took her life, to fight against an old friend who had turned evil and to face a criminal who had merged with a spirit. But she never thought she would go through anything as hard as what was happening now.
It had been weeks since Tokuga had escaped, and since then she and her girlfriend Asami had been going out on several dates. They went out for walks in the park, visiting museums, dining in restaurants, and even working together on some Future Industries stuff. They had a great time together and had never been happier in their lives. Soon after, they reached the next step: living together.
From that moment on, Korra was a little overwhelmed. All her life she had been living in simple places, from her house in the South Pole to the Air Temple Island, but now she had to live in an elegant mansion full of servants who acted in an elegant manner. However, she had to move on, for it was a step in her relationship with Asami, and she was delighted with the idea.
During the first days she tried to adapt to life in Asami's mansion, learning some manners and behaving in the best possible way. But no matter how hard she tried, she still felt overwhelmed and failed at times, even some of the servants cast a few looks at her. Worst of all, she wanted to tell Asami, but seeing her so happy, the urge to talk went away, fearing that she might be hurt in some way if she told her that she didn't feel comfortable in her own home.
At this time, she was meditating in a part of the back garden, which Asami left ready when she moved in for peace and quiet. Korra hoped that, if she calmed down a bit, she could find the courage to talk to her girlfriend. She stood there quietly, like a statue, not moving a finger.
"Uuuggghhh!" snarled Korra as she left her concentration. "Come on! I've faced powerful enemies and near-death situations and I can't even talk to my own girlfriend." Korra said complaining before sighing in frustration and resting her head in her hands. "I wish I had some help." sighed Korra.
"Avatar! Avatar!" a high-pitched voice interrupted her train of thought. Korra looked around the place, but saw nothing, until a spiritual lizard with dragonfly wings appeared in her range of vision.
The lizard flew away until he positioned himself on the Avatar's lap.
"What is it? Another problem between humans and spirits?" Korra asked the little spirit.
Since Republic City's spiritual portal was declared a protected area and a new residential area was built for those who lost their homes in the Kuvira attack, there have been some problems between humans and spirits. Fortunately, Korra and her friends were able to handle the situations peacefully and get both commanders to start treating each other with respect.
"Not this time. It's the spirit world, something weird is going on." said the spirit lizard.
Korra was worried when she heard that. She remembered that Tokuga escaped into the spirit world, and for days they tried to look for him with the help of the spirits, but found nothing and ended up leaving him for dead. If something bad was happening in the spirit world and Tokuga was involved, the situation would be worse than she thought.
"Does a human with a tentacle have anything to do with it?" Korra asked, recalling the look of the criminal after he merged with a spirit.
"No." said the spiritual lizard, making Korra sigh with relief as she saw the situation improve a bit.
"All right. I'll be right there." said Korra.
"Okay. I'll wait for you on the other side." said the spirit lizard before he flew away.
After losing sight of the spirit, Korra got up and went to signal her departure. Though Korra was serious about accepting that mission, she was relieved deep down that she could use that mission to clear her head a bit and maybe be brave enough to talk to Asami on her way back.
Thanks to information from one of the servants, Korra learned that Asami was in the workshop repairing her Satomobile. One of the things they did together that she liked least was teaching Korra to drive. It was pretty hard the first few classes, but over time, she got used to it.
Asami averted her eyes from the wheel she was checking to see her girlfriend approaching. "Korra." Asami said happily before approaching her.
Both girlfriends smiled at each other and hugged to kiss each other on the lips. If there was one thing they loved, it was the moments when they were together and alone.
"Hehe. It's good to see you too." Korra said, smiling sweetly at the person she loved most.
"So, is there a reason the Avatar came all this way?" said Asami playfully.
"Well, yes." started Korra changing to a serious expression. "It turns out there's a little problem in the spirit world and I'm headed there." said Korra.
"Do you want me to come with you?" asked Asami.
"No need, I can manage on my own." said Korra trying to keep Asami from joining her mission so she would have time to think on her own.
"Are you sure?" asked Asami with a slightly worried tone.
"Don't worry. I'll let you know if I have any problems." said Korra.
"All right." said Asami as she got her smile back. "But still be careful." she said seriously.
"I will." said Korra before giving her a quick kiss on the lips.
After that, Korra left the mansion and went to the spiritual portal of Republic City, to go to the spirit world. When she was near it, she could see how much the area had changed, she now had a fence around the place so that humans wouldn't continually enter the spirit world and spoil it. Of course, there was a gate, guarded by a spirit of rock, so that people, who were accepted, could enter the spirit world as tourists.
Korra smiled as she saw that humans and spirits were beginning to get along better despite all the difficulties they had experienced over the past few years. When she approached the door and the spirit guardian saw her, he recognized her instantly and allowed her to enter the portal. When Korra passed the portal, she found herself in the flower field on the other side, where she saw a couple of people enjoying the view and even some children playing with small spirits.
Korra's heart was glad to see that humans adequately respected the spirit world. Even if she couldn't talk to them, she was sure that Wan, the first Avatar, and the others would be proud of her. Passing by the flower field and the people passing by (because there was a border area to keep them from getting lost) Korra went deeper into the spirit world, looking for the lizard that informed her that there was trouble.
"Where is he?" Korra wondered as she checked the surroundings.
"Are you looking for something?" an old, familiar voice caught the Avatar's attention.
Looking in the direction of the voice, Korra met someone she hadn't seen in a long time.
"Iroh?" asked Korra as she saw an old (very old) friend.
"Long time no see Korra." said Iroh.
Without saying anything, Korra rushed towards him to give him a hug.
"I've missed you." said Korra.
"Haha. Me too." said Iroh before the hug broke. "Tell me, why did you come here?" he asked. "I'm sure you didn't come to have tea with me." he said as he lifted a teapot full of hot tea in his hand.
"No. A spirit lizard told me there was something weird going on around here, so I came to try to solve it. I was looking for him so he could take me there, but I can't find him." Korra said, telling him what had happened.
Iroh stroked his beard thoughtfully. "Well. I don't know anything about a spirit lizard, but I felt something strange was happening, and I know where to find him." said Iroh surprising Korra.
"Really?" Korra asked.
"Follow me." said Iroh before he started walking, with Korra following him.
After a while of walking, Korra started to feel that the air around her was getting colder, she even saw that the ground was covered with ice.
"I didn't know there was an ice zone around here." said Korra, looking at the ice zone.
"There isn't." said Iroh, making Korra's eyes wide open.
Was this the problem the little spirit was referring to? A climate change in the spirit world? At first glance it didn't seem like much, but after what Korra went through when she was in the spirit world for the first time, she knew there was something else. I just hoped it wasn't something that serious.
"We're here." said Iroh interrupting the Avatar's thought so that she could see that they were standing in front of a large, completely frozen tree, but what caught her attention most was the mirror that was embedded in the trunk. "Tell me Korra, what do you know about the spirit world?"
Korra was surprised by such a question. "Well... everything?" Korra said not knowing how to answer that question.
"Hehe. Not quite." said Iroh, laughing at the Avatar's clumsy response. "You learned from what the books and the teachers talk about, but in my case, I learned from the world itself. In all the years that I was here I was able to learn things that I never thought existed." said Iroh recounting his experience.
"And what does that have to do with it?" asked Korra pointing to the frozen area around.
"You'll see Korra. Many people think that the spirit world is connected to ours, but the truth is that it is connected to many other human worlds." said Iroh.
Korra was shocked by that. Are there other worlds that are connected to the spirit world?
"Other worlds?" Korra asked.
"That's right. Some worlds may be similar to ours, while others may be completely different. The mirror you see here is a portal to one of those worlds." said Iroh pointing to the mirror in the tree.
Korra was even more surprised to discover that the mirror was a portal to another world, but she was also confused. If that was a portal to another world, why was it in that state?
"Then why is everything around it frozen?" Korra asked.
"Mmm. It is possible that there is something in that world that affects the spirit world." said Iroh stroking his beard.
"Do you think it could be something dangerous?" asked Korra thinking of calling her friends if so.
"I don't think so. If it were, half the spirit world would have frozen by now. I think whatever's going on there, it's going to be something small." suggested Iroh.
Korra felt relaxed that the situation wasn't too serious, but even so, she couldn't leave things in that state.
"I guess that means I have to go through the portal, right?" Korra asked seriously.
"Well. You won't be able to solve the problem here. You have to solve it directly." said Iroh.
Korra started thinking about the options. She would travel to another world that might be completely different from anything she had seen to solve a spiritual problem. But what if she couldn't go back? It hurt her to have to leave Asami with the possibility of never seeing her again, but she couldn't leave the spirit world in that state either. She was the Avatar, the bridge between the human world and the spiritual world. Even if that wasn't her world, she couldn't turn around and pretend it was none of her business.
Determined, she took a deep breath and made a determined expression.
"I guess there's no choice." Korra said.
"Good luck, Korra." said Iroh.
"Thank you, Iroh. You helped me a lot, even though I didn't expect to meet you." said Korra with a smile.
"As I always say: The only thing better than finding something you are looking for is finding something you weren't looking." said Iroh quoting one of his most popular sayings.
With that said, Korra started walking until she stood right in front of the mirror. She still had her doubts about whether she should do it or not, but she hoped that she would return to her world, to her home, to her girlfriend. Taking a step forward, Korra began to walk through the mirror, going directly to another world, not knowing what to expect in it.
AN: The first chapter's over. What do you think? Of all the ships in this world, Korrasami is one of my favorites on the Yuri/Lesbian side. What will the Avatar do when she meets the Ice Queen? We'll find out in the next chapter.
