I do not own The Legend of Korra if I did then the next season would be out and I would be able to see my cute little Bolin :)

"Kiki!" Ardea screamed as her sister shot straight into the air. Water was turning from under her small body, though; Mizuki had no way in controlling it. It was clumsy and shaky, and soon it just broke apart, causing Mizuki to go into the water again.
Ardea screamed, her little sister was drowning, actually drowning. She took off her parka and boots and dove into the water since she learned how to swim by Katara before she died. Ardea opened her eyes under the water and began to look for her little sister. She saw her a few moments later, her sister sinking lifelessly in the water.
Ardea swam to her, swimming harder and harder, never giving up until she caught her little sister. Ardea pushed herself farther and farther, knowing at some point she would have to go up for air, but she couldn't stop now, knowing that her little sister was drowning.
Ardea finally got her Mizuki and picked her up. Ardea held her tightly and began to swim back up with her free hand. Her legs kicked and her arm went up and down. The cold water was still numbing her body, but she couldn't stop now. Finally, one minute of kicking and pushing, Ardea broke the surface. She gobbled up as much air as possible, occasionally choking on it.
Meelo and Rohan were there to help her and Mizuki up. Ardea was shivering and so was Mizuki. They were both cold. A couple of times, Mizuki would cough up some water and sound like she was choking. Ardea patted her back and made sure she was breathing at all cost. Rohan went to go get her father. She knew she was never going to hear the end of it, and plus, he will probably tell mom.
Ardea sighed and looked at her sister. Her brown curls were watered down and now looking shiny, she was wrapped up in Ardea's parka to make her stop her shivering, and her lips were blue and chattering. Ardea frowned. All of this was her fault. If only she was paying attention more to her, then none of this would have ever happened. Though, then again, if this didn't happen then Mizuki would probably not of unlocked her bending.
Meelo looked down at Ardea and smiled.
"On the bright side, she unlocked her bending!" He told her. Ardea glared at him. She didn't need this from him, nor did she care that her sister was a bender…okay, she did a little, but, she just wanted to know if her little sister was okay.
Rohan returned with her father after a while. The look on her father's face was horrifying to see. It wasn't that it was twisted up in anger, no, instead it was worry, sadness, but, most of the expression was worry. Ardea had seen it before, when they were leaving Republic City and their mother had to stay behind. He was so sad, and worried for her, and he wouldn't speak for days until he got her first letter. It was something that Ardea never wanted to see again.
"Dad, it was my entire fault! I should have been watching her, but Meelo started talking about how he got a letter from Grandpa Tenzin, and I wanted to know if he heard anything about mom!" Ardea told him. Her father put his hand up and shook his head.
"I don't want to hear whose fault it is, all I want to know now is that everyone is okay." He told her. Ardea looked at him and bit her lower lip.
"I'm fine, but I don't know about Kiki." She told him. Her father pursed his lips and looked down at Mizuki. He automatically picked her up and started to heat her up a little at a time, so that he wouldn't burn her.
"Come, Ardea, we have to go back to the igloo. And, as for you two, your mother will be worried sick if you're not back in time for supper." He told them. The two older boys nodded and scurried off to go home.
"Tell us how Mizuki is when you get the chance, okay, Ardea?" Rohan called.
"Yeah, okay." She answered back. Ardea and her father then began to walk back to the igloo, with Mizuki all bundled up in a now damp parka.

"Mizuki, look at mommy!" The call sounded distant to Mizuki, but she could defiantly hear it. It sounded low and very soothing, something Mizuki liked.
"Come now, sweetie, look at mommy!" The voice said again. Mizuki turned around and saw the same woman from the picture. Her hair was down and flowing all around her and she was looking at a baby who was giggling. She knew who the baby was; of course she did it was her, way back then.
Was it possible to remember something like this? Was it possible to remember something when you were this young? Most kids couldn't even remember what they had for dinner just the night before. It was strange to Mizuki to see something from this long ago, and only now remembering it.
"Korra, I'm home!" A man said. She knew this voice, she knew it, it was her father's voice. Mizuki pressed her lips together and looked at it some more.
"Oh, Mako, I was wondering when you would be returning! Look what Mizuki can do!" She told him. "Come on, Kiki; show daddy what you can do!"
Baby Mizuki began to roll around on the bed covering. Her high pitched giggling echoed throughout the room.
"That's daddy's little girl!" Her father told her. He walked over to her and picked her up. He then kissed her plump cheek and began to smile again.
"I taught her how to do that!" A little voice from the doorway called. It was four years old Ardea all dressed for bed, rubbing her left eye. In her hand was a little fire ferret that she treasured so much since it was from her uncle who tried his best to find one, and he did. Her parents turned around to face the sleepy toddler.
"Ardea, you should be in bed." Her mother told her softly.
"I know, but with all of the giggling, it was hard to get to sleep! And plus, I missed having Kiki right next door to me!" Ardea told them.
"All right then, why don't you get back to bed, and I'll put Mizuki right next to your bed. She has been sleeping all through the night now, so she should be fine." Mother told her. Ardea nodded. So, it was a happy memory? It was a memory on sharing a room with her older sister.
The next memory was quite confusing, since she didn't know what was going on. In the next memory, Baby Mizuki was in a little play-pen sort of thing, watching her mother and sister playing with some paper dolls. It was something about pro-bending, a sport Mizuki had never even heard of before. Baby her looked at her mother and sister and giggled a little. Mizuki laughed with her baby self, since it was funny watching her mother beat up someone she didn't know with goofy looking hair.
And then, soon, they both passed out on the floor, their snores were loud and they were obviously dreaming about something good. After a few more hours of just lying there, her baby self began to feel slightly drowsy. Her baby self shut her eyes for a moment, only to be interrupted by a voice calling for her mother over and over again. The voice then reached the room she was in and it turned out to be her father. He smiled at her and waved his hand at her. Her baby self saw as he picked up Ardea from the floor and gently placed her in bed, pulling the covers up to her chin.
Her father then kissed her on the forehead, and then came to get her. Baby Mizuki was then lifted up from the play-pen and placed in the cradle in which she belonged in. Her baby self was giggling happily, like nothing ever bad has ever happened in life. Then, Mizuki saw her father pick up her mother bridal style from the floor and carry her into the bedroom.
They whispered something to each other, but Mizuki could not hear them. Though, she did feel a lot of love radiating from the both of them. It was as if they were destined to be together since they were born. It was love, just so much of it.
And then, the last memory, but it wasn't a memory at all, more like a nightmare. The smell of smoke entered Mizuki's nose. Thick black smoke followed the smoke, leaving Mizuki almost blind. Mizuki coughed and began to walk around the apartment. Tables and chairs were knocked over, and books caught on fire by the crimson flames. It was horrifying. Mizuki entered a room that could have been nicer without all of the crimson flame that was coming into it.
She realized she was in her parents' room. What gave it away that it was indeed her parents' room was that pictures of her parents together littered the floor, and pictures of Mizuki and Ardea. Broken glass was with the pictures, and the table on which they were on was overturned. Mizuki coughed again. She looked around the room again, but it was deserted, no one was in sight. She walked out of the room the best she could and went across the hall. The room's wall was in pinks and yellows, but it was hard to make it out because of all of the smoke. Mizuki looked on the floor and saw little paper dolls on the floor, and every last single one of them were on fire.
Mizuki walked out of the bedroom and into the one next to it. It was of blue, and a crib was in the middle of it and it was overturned as well. It was also on fire like everything else. But, unlike all of the rest of the rooms, this one was not empty. Instead it had two people in it. A man with dark eyes, and a woman with a high pony-tail, it seemed like the woman and the man were fighting over something…or someone.
"Tell me where they are, Avatar, and I'll leave you alone." The man said. He had a snake like voice that was dark and full of venom.
"Never, I could never tell you where they are, and why would you even want them? They are only children!" The woman, who was the Avatar, told him.
"For my own reasons, they are children of you, I think that is a reasonable answer." He told her. The woman twisted her face like she was mad, and she was very, very, very mad at this particular person.
"You make me sick! They haven't done anything wrong to you! The youngest one especially! She probably doesn't even know you are! And yet, you insist on capturing her?" The woman coughed. It was a cough from the fire, a very hoarse like cough.
"They are strong, and powerful. If I can have them, then I can take over the world! I already have one strong earth-bender and one strong air-bender. One was prancing through the snow, the earth-bender of course, and the other one was fighting alongside of you, Avatar Korra." He told her.
"No, not Jinora!" The woman screamed.
"Oh, is that her name? I didn't even know. She is one of the most powerful air-benders ever, and for the boy…well, he is certainly a close call, but he'll do since he is the first child of an earth-bending family…well, almost, for their mother is a wealthy non-bender, but the last name of Sato." The man told her.
"No, not Akatsuki! You monster! He is still young! Still learning the basics of earth-bending! If you really want a powerful bender, then why don't you just take me instead of all of these children?" She screamed.
"That's too cliché, Avatar. Plus, everyone would get suspicious. So, just taking kids from the most powerful families seemed to help. It is not my fault that your family came in the top three." He told her.
"But, Mizuki, she's a non-bender. From what Mako's been writing to me she's a non-bender, so you're still missing a water-bender!" She yelled.
"On the contrary, Avatar, my sightings have told me that your daughter, Mizuki, was it? Is indeed a bender…a water-bender." He told her.
"If your sightings told you that my youngest daughter is a bender, then why can't you pinpoint them on your own?" She asked. She was so full of hatred at this man, that she couldn't even stand it. She hated him and wished him to be gone.
"Because, my powers don't work that way, Avatar, I thought you knew that!" He whispered. Her mother screamed.

Mizuki shot up from where she was laying and looked around. She was in the igloo, safe from the man. But, her mother wasn't at all safe. Her father was next to her and so was her sister Ardea.
"Mizuki, what's wrong?" Her father asked.
"Mommy," she answered. "She's in danger, along with Akatsuki and Jinora."
