It felt good to finally get some sleep last night, but it didn't last long.
"Kalani! Kalani! Wake up we're here!" I opened my eyes to see Korra already on Naga. "C'mon get on Kavi and let's go!"
"Alright, Alright." I jumped on Kavi. The doors to the boat opened a people started walking in. Korra sprinted out almost knocking people over. I fallowed quickly behind.
"Sorry!" I called behind me apologizing to the sailor we knocked over. We ran down the road and stopped when we saw a golden bridge…
"Wow." We both said.
"Look at this place." Korra said it's amazing.
"It's amazing." The buildings were enormous, and didn't melt under the sun! People were driving up and down the streets this.
"This is great! Let's go!" Korra ran toward the city and I followed her.
We ran past a river, a giant statue of Avatar Aang was in the middle near an island. I stopped short.
"Korra! Look!" She came over.
"That's it! Air Temple Island, that's were Tenzin lives!" She was grinning wildly. "Ready for a swim, Girl?" She said petting Naga. I heard Kavi whine. Kavi didn't really like water…
"Uhh…Korra. Kavi is not going into the water."
"Well, there must be another way, let's go look."
We walked through the town looking for another way to the Island. We went through a park with a fountain. Then we heard someone shouting.
"Are you tired of living under the tyranny of benders? Then join the Equalist!" We looked over to see a man standing on a bench with a poster of a masked man. Don't listen to this man!
"Let's go check this out." Korra and I walked over to listen to the man. I told you not to go! I felt a dull pound in my head. You don't listen to Korra, you listen to me!
"Then Benders of this community have made us non-benders live in as lower class citizens. Join Amon and we will take down the bending establishment!" I looked at the masked man on the poster. The only facial feature you could see where his eyes, they were a beautiful, pure blue. They sent chills up my spine and made my blood crawl…that was the same way I felt when I heard that voice in my head…
"What are you talking about? Bending is the coolest thing in the world! You'll back me up on this, right Kalani?"
"Korra…"
"Let me guess, you are a bender?" The protester said.
"Yeah, we both are! Matter of fact, she's one of the best waterbenders ever and I'm the avatar." Way to be modest Korra… The whole crowd gasped.
"I bet you want to go all avatar state and blast me of this bench!"
"I'm really considering it…"
"You see this Bender is trying to silence me!"
"Oh my god. Korra, let's get out of here."
"Yeah, aright."
We walked aimlessly among the streets. People were starting to stare at us.
"Kalani, we're lost."
"No duh." We reached an intersection in the roads.
"How about this, you go this way, I'll go that way. We're bound to find something or someone that can help us." I shrugged then went to the left, as she went to the right.
I walked down the streets; at least it's still broad daylight. I walked for a while until I reached a giant golden building.
"This looks promising. What do you think Kavi? What to check it out?" Kavi jerked then walked straight for the building. We walked to the doors then I got off Kavi.
"You're going to have to stay out here." He whined but then sat on the ground.
I walked in to the building at was amazed. It was elaborately decorated in gold. There was giant window that looked over an arena. It was beautiful. I walked down the hallways, completely lost in my own thoughts. Next thing I knew I crashed into something hard, and then I was on the ground.
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" A voice said.
"I'm sorry, I-" I looked up and my breath got hitched in my throat. A young man, maybe a year older than me, was sitting in front of me. He had spikey black hair and brown eyes. "I'm sorry you're right I should have watched where I was going." I tried to scramble to my feet.
"No, I should have been paying attention to." He got and then extended his arm to help me. I took and he pulled me up. There was an awkward silence…
"I'm Kalani." I said extending my hand.
"Mako." He shook my hand, as soon as we touched, we both deeply inhaled. It was like…electrifying… We didn't let go for a few seconds.
"Yo! Bro!" We both quickly took our hands back and took a step away from each other. Another younger man stuck his head out of a door. "We have to keep training."
"I'll be right there!" Mako called to him. "Yeah, well…I got to go…"
"Okay…" I started to walk away.
"Hey, wait!" I turned around. "Why don't you come to my Pro-Bending match tonight?" I smiled.
"Okay…sure."
"Great." He smiled back, and walked away. I have no idea what Pro-Bending is, but I have a feeling I'm going to like it.
I walked outside of the building, still caught up in the encounter, to see men in metal suits around Kavi. I ran over.
"May I help you?"
"We're are part of the Metal bending Police Forces, is this Polar Leopard yours mam?"
"Yes sir, is something wrong?"
"We were sent to you, by someone named Korra; she claims to be the Avatar."
"Is she okay?"
"She is currently imprisoned mam; we need you to come with us." Imprisoned! Oh, c'mon what could she have possibly done? I hoped on Kavi, while they got into a Sato Mobile. I guess I'll find out soon.
