I'm sorry my writing is really terrible tonight guys. I think I'm dying.

Day #21: Sunset
Characters: Korra
Setting: During Turning the Tides

7/26/12

It was the only time that everyone was busy enough that she could sneak out and have some time to herself, which sometimes she just really needed.

She waited until she heard the whining of the two younger kids as Pema and Tenzin tried to get them to go to bed, and she slipped out the door heading towards the cliffs. She loved to watch the sunset over Yue Bay.

She tried to hide it during the day, but being the avatar strained her. She was only a teenager, and she had the responsibilities and the expectations of the entire world on her shoulders.

A tear fell down her cheek and she let out a half-hearted laugh. She couldn't even cry in front of anyone, she had to be strong for the entire world. And she just felt so alone. All the time, no one else ever understood the pressure of what she had to go through on a daily basis.

And she couldn't even airbend. Or connect with her spiritual self.

Everyone believed that it would be so easy because she had mastered all the elements a hundred times over and a hundred times again.

But what if she was the first avatar that failed to master the elements. What if she was unable to form a bridge between the Spirits and the physical world? What would happen? What would people say for hundreds and thousands of years after her death?

Avatar Korra was a failure as an avatar, she allowed a man to go around and erase bending from the earth. She couldn't even connect with her past lives; we would have been better off if anyone else was the Avatar. Not her.

A few more tears escaped and she brought her knees up to her chest, burying her face in them. This was something that nagged at her every second of everyday.

And today, Tarrlok had brought all of her worries out into the open, confirming her fear that other people were noticing her failure as well.

No matter how many other people were around her she was alone and they would never understand.

I guess I'm feeling angsty tonight, channeling my inner Zuko bitches.
Please review.
