She's colder than ice when we find her, frozen in a small cove near the cliff. But she's alive.

Naga rushes to surround her, cloaking her in the white wooly fur. Naga whines, nudging the dark young woman under her chin with her nose. But she does not awaken.

We move quickly, Tenzin calms Naga as Mako and I gently lift Korra, placing her on the polar-bear-dog's back. Rushing back through the forest towards the city I clutch Korra tightly, trying to reassure myself that she will be alright, however I know it is unlikely; even Mako's firebending is barely warming her skin.

We bring her inside the temple, lying her down on the soft bed of her room, where Katara soon joins. Tenzin ushers Mako and I out the door, but Katara grabs hold of Mako and drags him back in; she needs his warmth. And I'm left outside the room. I cannot hear a word, though were one spoken it would echo through the hall, where Pema , I and the children stand paralyzed. Even little Rohan stared at the door not making a peep.

But even surrounded by these people, friends who had become family, I couldn't feel more alone. I knew nothing and we were told nothing. Even as the hours grew late and the children went off to sleep, even as they grew early when dawn was breaking and Pema dozed in her the rocking chair we had moved to the hall, I remained aware, waiting for any news of Korra's state.

Eventually it was Asami who convinced me it was time to leave, time to get something to eat, time to get some sleep. She was gentle and encouraging, but her eyes held worry, as they should. We ate in the kitchen, where we could at least see the sunlight and pretend we weren't about to fall off the edge of our sanity. When Mako walked into the kitchen we both jolted to our feet, but neither of us said a word.

He strode over to the table and took a swig from my juice before speaking. "She should be fine" his voice was gruff and husky from fatigue.

"Can we see her?" Asami pressed lightly after the joyous news sunk in.

"No." Mako dropped to the chair next to me and stared at his hands.

"Mako?" I prodded, "What's going on?"

"I'm not sure; Tenzin and Katara kicked me out when Korra's eyes lit up."

"They…"

"She's in the avatar state." I cut Asami off and she and my brother just stare at me, their mouths agape.

Mako manages to shut his. "That makes sense." He nods, "She probably was when we found her too, it's how she survived."

We all look back at the table and Asami and I take our seats. I give Mako half my bread and some fruit. We all relax a little, no longer needing to be tense because we know Korra will be alright. Now the question is, how did she get in that cove in the first place?

We finish eating, not speaking at all, and as I walk down the hall and am about to turn into one of the extra bedrooms of the temple, to finally get some needed sleep, Katara taps me on the shoulder.

"Bolin?" She eases, leaving her hand on my shoulder after I turn to face her.

"Yes Master Katara?"

"Korra would like to see you."

Hey! So, sorry I took so long... I kinda forgot about this story... So I'm sorry if this doesn't flow too well. I have a large workload so I probably wont get more chapters out anytime soon, but I'll try not to forget about this story... again... Hope you enjoyed it anyway!
