Still don't own Legend of Korra or Anastasia!


Anastasia felt like her entire body had been turned into a furnace, but she wanted nothing more than to have a male figure by her side. Whether it was the male who had rescued her originally or Iroh, she couldn't figure it out. Her every fiber was scorching, and she felt someone pick her up and carry her outside.

"I thought the fresh air would do her good," she heard Iroh say, but at the same time she heard it in Demitri's voice.

"A training session will do her more good," Zuko said wisely. "She has too much chi in her, it is causing her body to overheat."

"Anya," she heard Iroh and Demitri say. "Anya, I need you to wake up."

She tried to open her eyes to see Demitri and the ship, but all she saw was stone around her, and she felt claustrophobic. She turned her head the other way only to see more rock, and she suddenly felt as though she were trapped. She could hear Iroh continuing to try to bring her to her senses, but he wasn't who her mind was calling out to.

She tried to picture Demitri to give her a reason to be able to use firebending again and put her fist out to the right. She felt the chi try to channel, but nothing happened.

"What's wrong with her, grandfather?" Iroh asked confused, and Zuko simply watched Anastasia in worry and knowledge.

"She has lost her original drive for bending," the elder replied standing up from where he had been sitting and meditating. "There is a way for her to get it back, but I think I know a quicker way to rid her of her excess chi."

"What would that be?"

"For her to channel it into you," Zuko said with a different kind of fire in his eyes. "use enough of your chi to nearly exhaust yourself, and have her channel hers into you. Her body will be rid of its excess, and yours will be replenished. Problem solved."

"Tatiana!" Alexei yelled excitedly as his elder sister walked in. "How did you know how to become solid?"

"Avatars Aang and Kyoshi taught us," she smiled putting a hand on his head. "Maria and mamma are following me. Olga and papa will take a little longer, she seems to be putting up a fight, but I don't know why..."

"Why did Olga become all mean whenever she was transferred here?" Alexei asked sadly. "She wasn't like this before. Why would she do this?"

"I think she is jealous of Anastasia," Tatiana said thoughtfully. "She does not like how Anastasia was the first one to escape the Bolshevik's, the first one to come here, the first one to get her bending, and the first one to meet someone as a possible husband."

"Who?" Alexei asked excitedly. "Who? Do we know him?"

"I don't know. Olga wouldn't say, only that he was a prince," Tatiana said shaking her head.

"Oh, you're referring to Iroh the second," Korra said walking in with Maria and Alexandra. "He's the only prince that Anastasia's come in contact with. Well, that I know of. What about him?"

"Olga's jealous of Anastasia because of him," Tatiana said rolling her eyes. "It doesn't make sense as to why she would be so loving before and so hateful now."

"I do know one thing, Avatars Aang and Kyoshi are not happy with her," Korra said putting her hands on Tatiana to give her airbending.

"But why would they not be happy? She helped the rest of us become solid," Maria said confused.

"Yeah, to fit her own purposes," Korra snorted as she came out of Avatar State. "She only did that so you guys would be out of her way and to not follow her."

"But what about father?" Alexei asked, and she looked at him as she went forwards to give him his airbending.

"Something tells me that he'll be trying to track Anastasia to warn her, but also to try to follow your sister," Tenzin said gravely. "I received a message from General Iroh. Anastasia's gravely ill, with no signs of the fever breaking at all, and he says that her sister was in his room before Avatar Kyoshi got onto her for breaking the rules and stepping out of line."

"She got back and channeled a massive amount of chi into us," Tatiana nodded. "We didn't know why, only that she found a place where she was surrounded by benders."

"This is not good," Korra muttered as she finished with Alexei. "I'm going to go off and see if there's someone in Republic City that I need to find. Something doesn't quite ring right to your story."

"Wait! What about Anastasia?" Alexei asked worriedly. "We cannot just leave her to die!"

"Relax, she's got people around her who will know just what to do for her," Korra said putting a hand on top of his head fondly. "They know what they're doing, and if not, they've got messenger hawks to send for water Tribe advice or if necessary a better medic. But I'm sure their elders will know what to do for her."

"Korra, who do you need to look for?" Meelo asked as he rushed up to her. "I want to help!"

"Sorry, Meelo. Thank you, but what would help me the best right now was if you stayed here and helped your dad teach these girls and Alexei how to airbend," Korra said laughing. "But the same goes for Jinora and Ikki as well. How's Rohan doing?"

"He's napping," Pema said walking in. "I heard you say something about new airbenders?"

"Yes, the Romanov family," Korra said nodding.

"Oh! Anastasia's family?" Pema asked, and the Romanov's eyes widened.

"You know Anastasia?" they asked in shocked unison.

"She stayed here for a couple of months before being moved to a safer haven," Tenzin said nodding slightly. "She's been in our world a total of four months, five at most."

"So long…" Alexandra murmured astonished.

"Yeah, but she's afraid of using her bending," Korra snickered, and Tenzin shot her a warning glare. "She is! I'm not even sure General Iroh was able to get her to use her bending aside from the time that she accidentally nearly destroyed him."

The Romanov family simply deadpanned at her words as she turned and left the Air Temple.


Okay, I admit, most of this chapter was just filler that my head decided to crank out randomly...

But still, a review or two would be nice!
