Still don't own Anastasia's plotline or the Legend of Korra and its characters. Anyhow, I'm hoping this clears up a few more answers for you guys as to why Tarala is with Amon.


"Sir, she's returned at last," the Chi blocker said as he knelt before Amon. "Your long-lost niece has returned. She seems to be able to block chi, but is with child. She claims to have been raped but can remember nothing of her past."

"My niece is not a priority of my own at the moment. However, just to make sure… Tarala, go and dispose of your cousin," Amon ordered as he looked to his left. "It seems that Kailee survived our attack. To be honest, I don't want her getting in the way of this war and revealing who we are to the Avatar."

"As you wish, father," a teenage girl said walking into the light. She wore clothes that mirrored your average nonbender and was one of the few the Amon secretly kept around for bending purposes. "If I may, may I borrow some chi blockers to ensure that if she has a bender friend that I can get to her?"

Amon beamed behind his mask and his precious daughter went out to kill the one that she had always hated, even since they were infants being around each other. It was why he'd rid his niece of her bending, to make his own little girl better than that freak of nature, along with a few other reasons. He'd done it when she was a baby, he'd done it again when she was ten just in case it had somehow come back, and he'd do it again until he was sure that his niece would never be the same again.

Tarala continued searching throughout the city, stalking Team Avatar as well as Banished-Prince Zuko had to the original Team Avatar, rarely getting caught. And if she was, she was wearing a disguise at all times. But to her confusion, her cousin's lie wasn't fleshed out, and she felt her face burn with anger and hatred.

"Who am I?" she heard her cousin ask herself quietly one day as she looked up at the bending arena. "I wish I could remember something, anything from what I must have known in my past. Was I a bender? What happened to my parents? Why can't I remember anything?"

Tarala smiled evilly before returning to Amon and reporting what she'd heard. He'd laughed openly at this, relishing the feel that he wouldn't need to go wipe his niece's memories and bending from her a third time.

But as the war continued to rage, Tarala kept an eye on her cousin, who clearly wasn't showing signs of any kind that would have even remotely hinted at a pregnancy. She knew for a fact now that it was a lie, and that she would make sure that her little cousin would forever be unable to use bending. Even if the Avatar did manage to get her hands on the ability to reverse her father's bloodbending, she would kill her cousin before letting one brunette heal the other.

But one day, Kailee managed to slip from her sights, and she hissed and swore angrily as she began hunting down her cousin, but to no avail. It was of no use – Kailee was again gone.

Kailee went into the arena that the pro bending matches were held in. she'd watched the fire ferrets a couple times and listened to them on the radio just once, but she felt like she should stay near them for some strange reason.

She found that all she could remember was her name, not that she could tell anybody since her voice was taken from her by some strange man wielding two electric rods. She remembered what the man wore, and wore rags to hide herself from anything and everything that could have happened to her in case he arrived again. She hadn't seen him since, but she was terrified of anybody wearing black.

She went into the rafters of the arena to find two of the pro benders camping out up in the top, and the two turned on her curiously. Terrified of benders and equalists alike, she stumbled backwards.

"Hey, wait!" the larger one yelled, and she ran until she hit a rock and stumbled forwards.

She hit her head, and suddenly remembered that she had come to Republic city to find her family for some strange reason… but why? Who was she before the circus? Who was she before she'd become a stowaway and a vagrant that nobody liked? She heard two sets of approaching footsteps and decided that playing possum was the best idea for her right now.

"Nice going, Bo. You probably knocked her out for a solid week," she heard the taller and thinner of the two benders say tartly.

"I'm sorry, Mako! I was just trying to be friendly, I don't know where the rock came from!" the larger of the two said defensively, and Kailee remembered that he was the earthbender and the other one that had gotten onto him was a firebender.

"Look, let's just get her upstairs so we can keep her alive. The last thing we want is a dead body on our hands," Mako said before trying to lift her up. "Don't just stand there, Bolin! Help me get her up there!"

"Right, sorry!" Bolin said quickly as he went to lift Kailee up. "Hey, Mako… do you think it's possible that she's the missing royalty?"

"What are you talking about now, you hooligan?"

"The missing royalty, bro! The grandchild of Avatar Aang, Master Katara, Chi Blocker Ty Lee, and the ever-resourceful Sokka! Of course, they just adopted a firebender and waterbender from the streets since they couldn't have kids themselves for some strange reason. So technically the parents weren't related by blood, but it still explained why there was a firebending son of a waterbender and a chi blocker."

"Bo! Get to the point!"

"Right, right, I was getting there, Mako," Bolin said defensively, "So you know how the grand meeting of Team Avatar was interrupted ten or so years ago? Well, the grandchild in question just up and vanished from the fight, even though her impression was clearly in the snow next to her parents' dead bodies! To this day, nobody knows whether she's dead or alive, or even where her body can be found."

"Bolin, if this is another one of your methods to scare me," Mako threatened, and the earthbender shook his head. "If it is, you're in trouble, and I'm going to make sure that you can't do anything funny for the rest of the year!"

"Got it," Bolin squeaked as the two set Kailee down on a spare pile of blankets.


So, she meets the... well, not exactly "Demitri" and "Vlad" of the story, but in a way they act as the laisons to them. She'll meet Korra next chapter and get a small hint of what happened. Iroh and Asami will appear in the next chapter after that, for sure, but I'll probably have to put them in the homeless area that they had their war strategy in.

Again, please review and let me know what you think.
