The trumpets sounded all over the castle, the main hall was full of people and the place was quite decorated, as at this time an important event was happening for Arendelle.
In front of the crowd, there was Korra kneeling in front of Elsa. A servant approached her with a pillow and on top of it was a sword that Elsa took.
"Korra of the Southern Water Tribe. Despite coming from another world, you came to ours and did so much for us. Not only did you save my life, but you helped me and my sister, princess Anna, when the kingdom was in danger. That's why I, as queen of Arendelle, made you a knight of Arendelle." Elsa said, raising her sword and passing it over the Avatar's shoulders. "Arise, Sir Korra." Elsa said before Korra rose.
They both gave each other a smile before Korra turned around and raised her fist. The people began to cheer with joy at the appointment of a new knight and defender of the realm. Shortly thereafter, the celebration party began. Needless to say, the focus of everyone's attention was Korra.
As soon as the day began, Elsa told the people of her kingdom everything that had happened, from the assassination attempt that night to when they confronted Hans. Some found that a little hard to believe, especially on the subject of the otherworldly Avatar, but Korra convinced them when she showed her abilities. People were about to ask, among other things, if it wasn't for Elsa's information that she would later name Korra as a knight of the realm. Korra tried to say it wasn't necessary, but Elsa insisted that it was the least she could do after all she had done.
During the party, people gathered around Korra to ask hundreds of questions, some of which were related to her world and others to her powers. Everyone was amazed by her abilities, children even asked her excitedly to do some tricks, which Korra did without hesitation.
"All right. Check this out." said Korra taking a piece of strawberry and then, using the air control, she made it spin in a ring of wind in her hands, just like Avatar Aang used to do.
"Oohh." expressed the audience contemplating the Avatar's abilities.
"You're amazing, Mrs. Avatar!" said one girl with emotion.
"Yes! Your world must be amazing!" said a child.
"I wish I had amazing powers." said another girl who was a little depressed.
Korra bent down to her level and put one hand on her head, making her lift her up to see her.
"Even if you don't have powers, that doesn't mean you can't be amazing. My girlfriend doesn't have any powers and she's capable of beating a couple of bad guys on her own. I'm sure, with a little training, you could be as amazing as me." Korra said, smiling at the girl.
"Do you really think so?" asked the hopeful girl.
"I do." said Korra.
"Yes! I'll do it! I'll train hard and become a knight like you!" said the girl with elevated emotion.
"I'm sure you will." said Korra smiling at the girl's enthusiasm.
After that, the kids ran off to play.
"You're good with kids." Korra stood up and turned her head to see Elsa approaching.
"Well. I have some experience with Tenzin's children." said Korra remembering the times she had to take care of them.
"How's your shoulder?" Elsa asked.
"Much better than I was yesterday." said Korra putting her hand on her shoulder and moving it in a circle for emphasis.
"How does it feel to be a knight, Sir Korra?" Elsa asked a bit jokingly.
"It's strange, yes, but it's good." answered Korra. "And please, just Korra, I don't feel very comfortable with that 'sir' thing." said Korra with a nervous smile.
"It's okay. It was just a joke. There's no need to call you that if you don't want to." said Elsa.
Then, Korra remembered that there was an issue she had to report to Elsa and the others.
"Elsa, could you get the rest of them together? There's something I have to tell you." Korra said seriously.
Elsa was a little concerned as she saw what the Avatar would be like when she spoke. It must have been a serious matter. She listened to her and went to warn the others. She was just hoping that whatever she was going to tell, it wasn't anything bad.
Korra met with the others in a secluded area of the party so no one would hear or interrupt them.
"Well. What did you want to talk to us about?" Elsa asked.
"Do you remember why I came into this world?" asked Korra.
"Yes. You said it was because of a little trouble in the spirit world." replied Kristoff recalling the Avatar's mission.
"Well... The point is... my mission is over." said Korra.
"What? How do you know that?" Anna asked, overwhelmed by the Avatar's information.
"Call it intuition, but I think when we defeated Hans and destroyed his spell book, the area around the portal in the spirit world must have thawed out." responded Korra with a vague idea of what caused it all.
"I guess that means you have to go back to your world." said Elsa depressed.
"Yeah, I don't know exactly how, though. Do you know anyone who knows anything about spirits or anything like that?" Korra asked.
"Yeah. My family's an expert on that sort of thing. In fact, they're the ones who helped Elsa and Anna when they were kids." said Kristoff.
Korra was pleased to learn that there was someone who might be able to help her return to her world, but her expression softened when she saw the sad expression of the royal sisters.
"Hey. I don't have to go now. Let's just enjoy the party for now and then go see Kristoff's family." said Korra, wanting to cheer up her new friends.
Elsa and Anna saw her intention and smiled about it. It wasn't time to say goodbye, but to have fun, so they would make sure they had a lot of fun at that party.
Hours later, the party was over and people had gone home. Shortly after that, the Team Royal Avatar prepared to go see Kristoff's family. While Kristoff led them with a serious look, the women in the group were a little sad about having to say goodbye after the time they had spent together, even though they knew that this moment would come.
"One thing. I know you've seen a lot in your world, but you must know that my family is somewhat... peculiar." said Kristoff.
"Take it easy. I've seen so much I could say nothing would surprise me." Korra said.
"Well... here we are. This is my family." Kristoff said, pointing to the place before them.
Korra was stunned to see a field full of rocks, but there was absolutely no one there.
"Uh... I don't see anyone." said Korra.
"They'll be sleeping or something. Guys! Wake up! I'm back!" shouted Kristoff, letting his voice be heard all over the field and standing in the middle of the place.
Suddenly the surrounding rocks began to shake and roll into the center of the field. Korra was about to suggest some sort of earthbending, but that went down when the rocks revealed themselves to be human-like creatures, but smaller and made of rock.
The creatures stared at Kristoff for a few seconds before they...
"Kristoff is back!" cheered one of the creatures.
The creatures began to gather around Kristoff as Korra watched in awe.
"I admit it. This has surprised me." Korra admitted. "What are they, anyway?" she asked the queen.
"They're rock trolls." replied Elsa, leaving the Avatar with her eyes open.
"Yes. It's good to see you too. Listen, I've brought someone who needs your help." said Kristoff pointing to the Avatar.
The eyes of all the trolls pointed at her, making her a little nervous at all the looks.
"He... Hello." said Korra.
"A new friend!" cheered one of the trolls.
"A NEW FRIEND!" cheered the other trolls.
The next instant, all the trolls surrounded Korra and started bombarding her with questions.
"Are you a friend of the queen?"
"Where do you come from?"
"Do you have a partner or something?"
"What kind of clothes are you wearing?"
"Okay. Okay. That's enough. Make way. Bulda coming through." A group of female trolls piled up in a tower, and on top of them was the one who stopped the horde of questions, who called herself Bulda. Bulda grabbed Korra's face. "Let's see. Big eyes, small nose, strong teeth... No doubt a great woman." said Bulda as she inspected the Avatar.
Korra quickly backed away, covering her mouth. "That was a violation of my personal space." Korra said.
Elsa laughed slightly at the Avatar's reaction, earning an annoyed look from her, accompanied by a faint blush of shame.
"And tell me, who is this beautiful young lady?" Bulda asked.
"Korra, from the Southern Water Tribe." said Korra.
"Everyone, let's say hello to Korra of the Southern Water Tribe!" cheered Bulda.
"KORRA OF THE SOUTHERN WATER TRIBE!" cheered the other trolls with smiles.
"Well. What do you think?" Anna asked.
"Sincerely. This is something you don't see every day." responded Korra before returning to the main theme. "Excuse me, but I've been told that you guys can help me. This is a spiritual issue." said Korra.
"Spiritual?" the trolls stepped aside to make way for a troll that looked like the oldest of them all, suggesting that he was the leader.
"Grand Pabbie, can you help her?" Kristoff asked the old troll.
"Maybe. Young lady, come closer." said Grand Pabbie. Korra knelt down to about his level and put his hand on hers. "I can see it. There is a very powerful spirit inside you, a spirit that doesn't belong in this world." said Grand Pabbie.
"That's right. I came to this world through a portal from the spirit world." explained Korra to the old troll.
"The spirit world? I haven't heard that name since many years ago." said Grand Pabbie.
"Do you know about that world?" Elsa asked.
"Most spirits aren't attached to this world; they live in one far from ours where they live peacefully." said Grand Pabbie.
"The spirit world." said Korra.
"Exactly. That world has hundreds of bridges to many other worlds, but I never thought anyone would be able to cross those bridges." said Grand Pabbie looking at the Avatar.
"It's a long story." said Korra not wanting to explain Avatar Wan's story. "The thing is, I know how I got here, but I don't know exactly how to get back. Do you know?" Korra asked nicely.
"Of course. Follow me." said Grand Pabbie as he started to walk. Bulda and a couple of trolls followed behind him along with the real Team Avatar.
They walked along a rocky path until they reached a place that left the group of heroes speechless. In the middle of the place, there was a very old and dry tree, in fact, it reminded Korra of the tree in which Vatuu was imprisoned for many centuries.
"What is this tree?" Anna asked.
"In the old days, the spirits used this portal to pass into the spirit world and vice versa. Few know of its existence, as the misuse of that portal can bring about the wrath of the spirits." said Grand Pabbie.
"Yes, I can confirm that." said Korra recalling what happened when that businessman tried to take over Republic City's spiritual portal for his own selfish affairs.
"The hole you see there is the entrance to the spirit world, once you cross it, you can go back to your world." said Grand Pabbie.
Korra was glad to be able to go back to her world and return to her girlfriend, but first she had to make it a little difficult for her, to say goodbye to her new friends. Even though they had been together for a couple of days, they had gotten along very well to the point where they formed their own Team Avatar.
"We may not know each other very well, but it was a pleasure to meet you." said Kristoff, holding out his hand.
"Same here." said Korra shaking his hand.
Sven walked up to her and stroked his head with her body with a moan of sadness.
"Hehe. I know Sven, I'll miss you too." said Korra stroking the reindeer's head, to the joy of the last one.
"Do you really have to go?" asked Olaf showing sadness for the first time.
Korra bent over to keep up with him. "I'm sorry, Olaf. But there are people waiting in my world." said Korra. Seeing that she wasn't encouraging the snowman, she decided to try something. "Would a hug cheer you up?" she asked with outstretched arms.
Olaf gave a big smile of joy before launching into a hug with the Avatar. Korra guessed it, despite appearances, Olaf was still a child.
After finishing the hug and getting up, Korra received another hug, this time from Anna.
"I'll miss you." Anna said with pity.
"Me too." said Korra, returning the hug.
Anna broke up with the Avatar. "Don't forget to talk to your girlfriend." said Anna recalling her talk during the sleepover.
"I assure you it will be the first thing I do when I get back." said Korra.
They broke their embrace and Korra addressed the last person left, the one who marked the most with her presence in that world.
"I guess this is goodbye." Elsa said in a sad and sorry tone.
"Hey. Don't think that. Now that I know the way there and back, I can come back here whenever I want. In fact, I might bring Asami next time, I'm sure she'd love to meet you all." Korra said.
"Yeah. I'd love to meet her too." said Elsa starting to cheer up.
"You know? An old friend of mine has a saying: The only thing better than finding something you are looking for is finding something you weren't looking." said Korra remembering Iroh's wisdom.
"What do you mean?" Elsa asked curiously.
"We were both looking for something and we found it, but we also found something better and that we weren't looking for. A friend." said Korra.
Elsa had to use all her efforts not to shed a tear. They met as savior and saved, then as teacher and student, and in the end, they ended up as friends.
Without warning, both women hugged each other. The embrace lasted for a while until both parties parted and Korra began walking toward the portal. She stopped a few feet from the hole that would lead to the spirit world and turned her head to see her friends behind her.
The Avatar and the ice queen shared one last smile before the first crossed the portal, leaving that world and entering the spirit world. Unlike the previous times she crossed a portal to that world, she didn't know exactly what the path to the portal to her world was. If what Iroh said was true, it would be a long time before she found a portal or a guide, which was what happened before.
"Avatar! Avatar!" Korra looked in the direction of the voice and was a little surprised to see the little spiritual lizard with wings she met when the mission began, flying towards her.
"Hello little one." said Korra stretching out her hand, allowing the spirit to rest on it. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to thank you. The spirit world is better off because of you." said the spirit lizard.
"You're welcome." said Korra before an idea went through her head. "Hey, you don't happen to know where the portal to my world is, do you?" Korra asked, believing he could help her.
"Of course, I do. As a thank you, I'll take you there. Follow me." said the spirit lizard before flying off in a certain direction. Without hesitation, Korra began to follow him, hoping that it wouldn't be long before he arrived.
Apparently, the trip was shorter than Korra thought. Thanks to the guidance of the spirit lizard, Korra crossed some passages that served as shortcuts in the spirit world. In less time than she thought, Korra had reached the flower garden next to the Republic City spirit portal. Unlike last time, there were fewer people in the area.
Korra smiled from the nostalgia of seeing that place again. "Thank you for taking me back." Korra said to the spirit lizard.
"You're welcome. See you next time." said the spirit lizard before he went back to wherever.
Korra walked through the flower garden, ignoring the people playing around, and walked through the portal. On the other side, she could see the place she called home, where she lived most of her adventures and where she lived with her love, Republic City.
Korra was glad to be back in her world, but one issue remained. A topic she set aside to accomplish the mission. She had to talk to Asami about her concerns. She knew it wouldn't be an easy subject, but she assured Anna that she would and would do so, even though it might have consequences.
While the Avatar was on her way to Sato Mansion, Asami was back in her workshop reviewing plans for a new Satomobile. She had a sad expression on her face. It had been days since her girlfriend had gone on a mission to the spirit world. Of course, she told her that she would be fine and that she would ask for help in case it was very serious, but not hearing from her didn't calm the engineer's nerves.
Mako and Bolin tried to comfort her by saying that Korra was strong enough to handle things on her own and that she would be fine, but even so, the nerves didn't leave her mind and heart. There were even times when she thought of taking the Naga and going to find her, but I had a feeling that if I did that, Korra would think I didn't trust her.
It wasn't that she didn't trust her, Asami knew that she was strong, independent, loyal, all the things that made her fall in love with her; it was just that she cared about her, as anyone would about the people he loved.
Her nerves were changed by surprise when she noticed someone covering her eyes from behind with the hands.
"Ugh. Bolin, if this is a way of cheering me up, I'll tell you it's no use." said Asami annoyed.
"Really? I thought she would." said a voice very familiar to the engineer.
Asami let out a small gasp and quickly turned around to see the person she loved most smiling at her.
"Korra!" shouted Asami with joy before rushing to give her girlfriend a hug. "I'm glad you're okay." said Asami.
"Hehe. Did you think I wouldn't be? How suspicious." Korra said jokingly.
Asami parted from the bridal embrace and a blush of shame showed on her cheeks. "No. That's not it. It's just..." tried to explain Asami, who hadn't understood the joke.
"It's all right. It was just a joke." said Korra before she planted a kiss on her girlfriend's lips. "I'm glad you're okay, too."
Asami smiled as she saw that her girlfriend hadn't changed at all since the last time they met and she responded to her kiss with another.
After the kiss was over and they parted, Korra's expression softened a bit, as this was the best time for her to talk about it.
"Korra, is something wrong with you?" Asami asked, worrying a little.
"You see Asami. There's something I'd like to talk to you about." Korra said, looking away from her.
"What is it?" asked Asami, getting a little nervous.
Korra had to summon up all her courage to look her girlfriend in the eye and start talking. "I know we agreed on the subject of living together, I was happy to live with you in the same place, but in the last few days, I felt a little overwhelmed, you've had a very different life than I have and I often felt like I didn't belong there." Korra told her girlfriend.
"What? Why didn't you tell me before?" asked Asami surprised by what her girlfriend said.
"You seemed so happy that we were living together that I was afraid that, by telling you, you might think badly of me or even that you wouldn't want me anymore. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner and whatever you think of me, I'll accept it." Korra said with her head down, waiting for Asami to say something.
But what she didn't expect, was that Asami would laugh out loud, making the Avatar look up in confusion. "HAHA. Korra, how in the world did you think of such a thing? Did you really think I would hate you for something as childish as that?" asked Asami.
Korra blushed a bit from the shame. "Well... I... It's just..." Korra said.
"Korra." said Asami interrupting the Avatar and putting her hands on her shoulders. "If that's what happened, you could have told me. I wasn't going to think badly of you. I love you too much to bother with something like that." said Asami with a warm smile.
Korra opened her eyes when she heard that. It was just like Elsa and Anna had said, she loved her so much that she wasn't going to get angry about something as ridiculous as that. A few tears came out of her eyes, but she wiped them with her arm quickly.
"Thank you. I guess that's what I needed to hear." Korra said.
"You know, if you have a problem with the mansion, we could do some touch-ups. Just so you can feel more comfortable." said Asami finding a solution to the problem.
Korra and Asami shared a loving kiss on the lips again.
"That's why I love you." Korra said.
"Me too." said Asami before something went through her mind. "Hey, how was the mission?" she asked, wanting to know more about why it had taken her days to get back.
Korra smiled as she told Asami about her adventure. "You have no idea." said Korra knowing that her girlfriend would love the friends she made in the other world.
AN: That concludes this story. What did you think? If there's any topic on both sides (The Legend of Korra and Frozen) that's wrong or something, let me know. See you in the next story! By the way, I've been thinking about making a sequel to this story, what do you think?
