Sai, "Fire! Air! Water! Earth! These are the elements of our world. For thousands of years the elements have had nations in different incarnations that battle one another. The only one to bring temporary peace to our land is the Avatar, master of all four elements. The power of the Avatar is great, but unfortunately so is its cost.
The Avatar is a series of people that are incarnations of their very first live. They are responsible for keeping balance between all four elements. Kora of the Southern Water tribe was the last of the avatars to take on these responsibilities. Kora was killed at age 42 by four terrible benders of each element Yang the Destroyer, Suki the Preserver, Moa the Creator, and Pali the Great Flyer.
They have lived fourteen years without an avatar only to face a little girl who is barley a challenge to them. The Avatar must pull herself together supporters, the spirits, and anything else that may help in order to stop the Grand Deity Four. It will be a hard task since there is a taint in her sole keeping her from channeling all four elements. I believe the Avatar can free our land; because over fourteen years it is proven no one else can."
"Where do I run," the Avatar thought to herself while Sai knocked out, was being dragged on her shoulders. If she had not been so hot headed and arrogant revealing she was a wanted criminal by the four bending gods of there land, Sai would still be fine. "If I could either get to some metal or find some help we'll be fine," she thought to herself desperately. The avatars handicap is much greater than she anticipated. She couldn't feel the earth beneath her feet thanks to the snow and she was two frustrated of a child to learn water or air bending. All she had was fire bending and she was afraid to use that element because it caused more harm then good.
"Damn," she thought to herself. "Why was I so stupid. I should have kept it in, gotten healed, and then left on my marry way without anyone spotting us."
Sai mumbled, "Go to the inn, I know a maid there that can help us hide until this blows over."
"Where is the inn," the avatar asked Sai.
"North of the village," Sai answered.
"Which way is that," the avatar asked in frustration.
"The Docks are to our East so go North," Sai answered still mumbling but equally frustrated.
The avatar went in the direction Sai suggested trying to dodge her way through crowds and areas avoiding the gazes of guards. She did pretty well avoiding there gazes, but she did not last very long. A group of guards were searching the fruit market where there shipments of foreign foods and local fish was for sale. There they spotted her trying to hide behind crate ever so carefully moving.
The avatar may have not had earth before but in this market they ave street lights for when it is dark. These street lights were metal. The moment her gaze locked on to the street lamp it began to bend into a replication of a large metal arm with a hand at its front, but upon its palm was not five fingers but a very sharp axe blade.
"What are you doing," Sai mumbled a question. "You can't fight you must flee."
"I've been caught Sai, I need to get through the guards quickly," the avatar insisted.
"Go save yourself," Sai said. "You're the avatar. You're much bigger in value than I'll ever be worth."
"I'm not leaving you," the Avatar replied crossly.
The guards approached her slowly noting that she now has an axe for an arm. Each of them created a geyser and shot them directly at the Avatar. "Perfect," she thought to herself. The avatar tossed Sai in the air and kicked fire balls at each of the geysers. This coated the tow girls in steam. The Avatar flipped on her back and let Sai land on top of her body. "Hmph," she said after taking the impact of Sai. She then lifted Sai up with her new metal arm and shoulder and ran through the city to get to the north of it.
The avatar finally made it to the inn called Pigstalion inn. She made a quick glance around to see if other buildings were inns as well and to her dismay two others were. "Sai, which one," The Avatar asked.
Sai wasn't answering.
"Oh great," the avatar said and she ran into the Pigstallion.
The inn was quite peaceful as opposed to the commotion the avatar caused outside. It had a few customers in the lobby and was a two story building. There was a spring house on the other side of the inn, the bedrooms were upstairs, there was a dinning room with select furniture to make the place look warm as well as a stone fireplace that was lit to make the place feel warmer, and there was a kitchen that was hidden behind the front desk check in area.
"How can I help you," a woman asked. Her notable features where her most apparent. She definitely took of from the Eskimo culture of the water tribe and her eyes were like sapphires that gleamed with her smile. She also sounded cheerful and very embrace of any customer that would walk in her inn. Her clothing choice was fur, and she wore a lot of it. Her eyes glanced at the avatars giant metal arm carrying Sai and then drifted to her other side of her body which also showed no arm.
"Do you want me to help your friend or you first," the woman asked.
The avatar held out Sai and then turned her head to the sound of guard moving around the front searching for her.
"They're looking for you aren't they," the woman asked crossly. One man tried to get up from his comfortable chair and head for the door. The woman moved her hand toward him and out of the air a water bubble formed. "Don't do it Sudo," she cautioned.
All the few people looked at the woman wondering whether or not they're going to fight their way through her.
"Your not Sai's friend are you," the Avatar asked.
"No I don't know who Sai is," the woman replied.
"Sai is my unconscious friend," the Avatar answered.
"Fine then, Sudo go take them to the basement," the woman said to the man who was just going to rat them out not only three second ago.
"Fine, but if we get killed because of you I'm going to bicker your eternity in the spirit world," the man replied in a scratchy, slightly high pitched voice with the accent of a drunkard.
The man was also water tribe. His clothes were blue, he wore blue gems and his brown hair was long and flowed like the waves of the ocean. He looked a little smug and clearly a drinker.
"Could you help my friend," the Avatar asked while she was in the basement with Sudo.
Sudo looked Sai over. "Eh, she aint got no serious injuries. Rest'd fix her right up," he suggested while stumbling on his words. He then took a swig from his waterskin that wreaked of alcohol.
"For god's sake what if that ferments or something or molds over in the waterskin," the Avatar practically shouted but she still kept her voice low and her ears on the door of the basement.
"It ain't moldy and it S-ss-certainly aint goin to ferment," he replied bluntly still slurred.
"At least do something useful," the Avatar groaned.
"Say what your name anyways kid and why are the guards after you," Sudo asked.
"I'm not answering those questions until someone heals my friend or at least makes her comfortable," she answered with irritation clear in her voice.
"Fine," the man said now the one groaning.
He put his hand over his waterskin and started bending the alcohol out of it into little droplets. the droplets began to move toward Sai's mouth and coat the outside of her teeth.
"What are you doing," the avatar said raising the volume of her voice slightly.
"Y,never know if she has a tooth ache," the man replied.
"She's bruised you moron," the avatar said. "Oh never mind."
The man shrugged and left upstairs.
The avatar scanned the room and found barrels of the inns product and utensils. She also found stacks of beds with comforters folded and sheets as well. She grabbed a bed and dragged it off of the top of the stack, then covered it in a sheet, and then she put Sai on the bed. She then covered Sai in two sheets and a comforter.
She looked around the room again and found incense. The avatar poked her head out of the basement and looked for the kind woman that helped them. "Psst," she called out to Sudo. Sudo and two other guys who are also water tribe and in range of thirty to fifty years old looked at her. The men instantly turned away and acted like they saw nothing, but Sudo walked over to her. "I made up a bed for Sai," the Avatar said.
"Good for you," the old man replied as he poured a little of the alcohol in his waterskin on her forehead. "You wan a medal or somthin."
"No," she replied irritated. If he wasn't helping her who knows what state of injury he would be in. Chances are he would be crisped and she would be laughing. The very thought of that shinned through the avatars face. "Can I borrow incense?"
"Whhat for," the man asked.
"For Sai," she replied.
"Go for it, but bring me another one same kind up here so I can burn it," the man replied.
The avatar did just that and then grabbed an incense of the same scent. She burned the incense next to Sai and began to meditate. "I hope this works," she said but as her eyes opened she was in another world not covered in snow or pretty glaciers but a beautiful forest and open green valleys. "Huh, I'm not sure if I do this enough to warrant being good at it the first time," she said.
"You're not," Korra answered. "I've been waiting for you in long, deep meditation to guide you through your suffering."
