Asami wondered the halls of Korra's home that centered within the Avatar's compound. She admired the many Water Tribe decorations that were hung and displayed. An almost endless ocean of white mixed with various shades of blue. Asami wondered if they were gifts from Korra's people or if Korra had picked them out herself. Many of the items displayed were weapons of some type, so she figured it was a mixture of both. Her eyes scanned the many trophies that she assumed Korra had won herself. Then her emerald greens fixed on a sword that was displayed on a pillar. The sword was unlike any other. Its blade was black and very sharp with only a few minor marks that let her know this blade had been in a few battles. Asami looked around and lifted the blade. It was light, not as heavy as many of the other swords she had handled in her lifetime. Asami swung the sword and could hear the blade cutting into the air the surrounded her. The rain guard was bronze and rectangular in shape, its center angled toward the blade. The handle was leather with turquoise lacing. Asami surmised that whomever made this sword put a lot of hard work and time into its creation.

"It was Lord Sokka's." Korra said softly. "He was a good friend of mine in my previous life and my youth."

"I – I'm sorry, I didn't mean to touch…" Asami said startled.

Korra laughed softly. "No, its ok." She stood behind the Omega , wrapped her arms around Asami and took her hands as Asami held the sword. She held the Asami's hands firmly and swayed the sword in the air.

"When I was about 6. I was kidnapped by the Red Lotus. They wanted to end the Avatar life cycle. The Mage known as Zaheer and his followers crept into a compound I was staying at in the South. It took 3 days for Lord Sokka and his men to track me down. It was a long battle, they managed to rescue me, but Zaheer and a few of his followers had escaped." Korra sighed. "I was fond of Lord Sokka….He was wounded in the battle, his wounds were too deep. I vaguely remember most of it, but I do remember being by Lord Sokka's side when his wounds were taking its toll. He put the handle in my hand, smiled and said, "Korra, I do not have children. I do however have family. You are part of my family, as an old friend and new friend. I am honored and proud to be part of the Southern Water Tribe and a Warrior. This sword, I give to you as you a Water Tribe member, warrior and friend. Be the Korra I hope you to be." They pulled me away after, and I never saw Lord Sokka again."

Korra slide the sword and placed it back on the display. She stood there silent. Asami moved toward her and placed her hand on Korra's shoulder. "Are you ok?"

Korra stared down at the sword and shook her head. "I'm the worst Avatar ever. I never lived up to Lord Sokka's expectations. I'm selfish, arrogant, tempermenal and …..a whore. All I ever done as the Avatar is defeat Amon and slay a dragon named Vaatu…. I- I don't deserve this and I certainly don't deserve you."

Asami reached down, grabbed Korra's hand and turned her around. "Korra, I'm sure Lord Sokka didn't just think of you as the Avatar. When I look at you that is not what I see. He made it a point to let you know you were special to him. He risked his life for you and gave the ultimate sacrifice. If that sword was his greatest treasure, I do not think for a moment he would just give it to just anyone who didn't mean the world to him."

Korra stared at Asami with her baby blue eyes, her eyes darting here and there in deep thought. She smiled at Asami, "Do you think I could be the Avatar Lord Sokka hopes I can be?"

Asami smiled, "Who knows what fate has in store for you, I do believe that if the world needs you that you will be there to defend it and keep balance. But in all honesty, I just want you to be the best Korra you can be." With that Asami gave Korra a lingering kiss.

Asami was amazed as how beautiful King Tenzin's palace was. It glimmered with silver, orange, yellow and red. Statues of various monks lines the palace main hall with tapestry so elegant it didn't fit the Air Nomads simplistic nature. Yet, there was a spiritual feel in the atmosphere that surrounded them

Asami walked hand in hand as Korra walked her down a smaller hallway, eagerly pointing out the air nomad carvings that lined the palace walls. Korra explained that as modern as it appears, that the palace was centuries old. Asami could have sworn it was built yesterday.

"KORRA!" shouted out three little airbenders. All three riding little airballs until they reached Korra and smothered her with hugs. Asami never seen Korra so affection towards anyone other than her. She smiled at the loving gesture.

"Korra we miss you," a small voice called out from the eldest of the airbenders. Asami loved the curls and the tiny ball of hair on her head.

"Yeah, Korra someone told us that you were in a battle with a terrible 20 foot high griffintroll that shot out rainbow arrows and when they struck you, it put you in a sleeping spell that transported your soul into a tiny ladybugworm and you were utterly consumed by a glowing light ball of blue fire." Screeched another small female airbender with two tiny balls of hair and big brown eyes.

"Thhaatt'sss NOT what happened," corrected the small male with a large bald head, who turned to Asami with hearts in his eyes. "Korra was on a special mission to find me this beautiful woman to be my bride." The boy smiled as big a grin to Asami as he could.

Korra giggled and patted the boy on his head. "Kids this is Lady Asami Sato. Lady Asami Sato, I'd like you to meet Jinora, Ikki and Meelo. These are King Tenzin's children."

Asami bowed and greeted the children enthusiastically. "A pleasure to meet you all."

Meelo took Asami by surprise, grabbing her hand and kissing it. "No beautiful woman, the pleasure is all minnnee."

Asami looked up at Korra, who had been holding in her laughter.

"Now, now Meelo, I may have to challenge you for Lady Sato's hand if you keep courting her in this manner."

Meelo glared at Korra, "If I must I will duel you to the death and WIN my fair ladies heart!"

"Ehem." Kind Tenzin coughed at the door way. He was a tall man. Regal even, just in his simplistic robes that draped his lean figure. His face was long and his eye carried its weight of responsibility he had been carrying on throughout his lifetime. A light blue arrow lined the top of his bald head with a simple gold crown.

Asami bowed once again. "You're Majesty."

"And whom is this lovely young lady you have brought Korra?" Tenzin smiled.

Korra smiled proudly, "Your Majesty may I present to you Lady Asami Sato, daughter of the late Lord Hiroshi and Lady Yasuko Sato."

Tenzin was at a loss for words. "Sato? as in the Sato, who's lands were taken by that slithering worm Vaatu? How did you.. where…"

Asami simply replied, "Vaatu destroyed my people and my family. He held me hostage ever since. He was a vile creature who has taken so much from me and this world…." Asami sighed and continued , "I was alone all those years and that monster destroyed anything or anyone who came near me. Many other lives were lost."

Asami explain what had happened and how Korra had rescued her. She explained her plan to rebuild her lands and fill it once again with people. King Tenzin gave his full support and blessings.

"Lady Sato," King Tenzin stood up "You have my sympathy and condolences as what has happened to you. Still, you have come out of this as strong a leader as your father. IF it pleases you, I would like to throw a ball in honor or your return."

"YAY! PARTY!" All the three kids screamed.

Asami looked down as Meelo took her hand. "It would be an honor if you accompany me to a ball in honor of your return beautiful woman."

Asami giggled, "Thank you dear sir, but I do believe I already have an escort. Whom else but the Avatar to escort me from her domicile to your wonderful palace? I would feel much safer. Don't you agree dear sir?"

"hmmnnn.." Meelo deeply pondered, "Yes, Yes I agree. There are many bandits, thieves and monsters out there whom would love to get their hands on a beautiful woman such as yourself." Meelo turns to Korra , "Avatar Korra I charge you with protecting my future mate from any vile creatures whom may want to take her away from me." With that Meelo simple walked out of the room.

Asami giggled, "You're highness, How can I refuse such an offer. I am honored. The sooner the better, I'd like to get started with your counsels as to how I can rebuild as soon as possible."

"Tommorow evening couldn't come soon enough. I shall make the arrangements!" Tenzin agreed.

Asami woke up and reached out for Korra. Her hands only found an empty spot of where Korra was sleeping. Asami couldn't shake this bad feeling in her gut. She got up and began walking down the hall. She could hear rustling and whispers. She slowly crept down towards the noises.

"Korra…. I'm so happy your back and in one piece…" a female whispered, "You're just in time for my heat…. Now please, Avatar give me that piece."

Asami peeked around the corner and saw Korra leaned back on a fur sofa with one of her maidens grinding on top of her. Korra was fidgeting beneath her groaning.

"What is going on here?!" Asami demanded as she popped around the corner.

"ASAMI!" Korra pushed the maiden off and jolted up. Her trousers fully pronounced with an erection.

Asami stared darts into Korra's eyes. Words didn't need to be spoken. Asami turned and ran into Korra's room, locking the door. Tears began streaming down her ivory cheeks.

Korra chased after Asami and was met with her room door being slammed in her face. She began knocking, pleading to be let in.

Korra easily could open the door but knew better than to invade an angry Omega's need for privacy, let alone face her wrath. Korra faced warlords, mages, wizards, ogremoles, dragons and many other fierce opponents, but the fear she felt now was ten times as frightening.

"Asami! Asami! Please open the door." Korra's broken voice was unanswered. "Asami, Nothing happened… I – I just went to get something to eat an – and she just appeared. Ok, ok I kissed her. Her- her heat overwhelmed me….Asami, please!"

Korra tried the door and much to her surprise it slowly creeked open. She pushed the door gently and peeked in. She heard the muffled sounds of crying in her pillows. She made her way towards Asami's weeping body lying on the bed.

"Asami?" Korra reached for the pale beauty but stopped knowing her touch was unwanted. Instead she sat down next to her, waiting for Asami to make the first move.

The Alpha woke up to an empty bed. She scanned the room and surprisingly found Asami's belonging still there. Then a scrolled paper caught her eye.

Dear Korra,

It is obvious you are dealing with a battle within yourself. The old you and the person you are now. I see you are trying your hardest to feel as though you deserve me. After last night I have come to realize, that as much as I love you, I cannot win you. Rather you have to surrender yourself to me. I don't expect an Alpha such as yourself to just roll over to an Omega. So, I'm going to focus on rebuilding all that I have lost. Even if a broken heart is a part of it. I do believe you can be a great Avatar, and an even greater Korra.

I couldn't face you this morning, I am sorry. I hope to bid you a proper farewell this evening at the ball and thank you for showing me that my life was not over or sad….but that my life had just begun.

Lady Sato
