"What would you have done if I refused?" Desna asked Eska curiously.
She thought for a moment. "I really have no idea. I wouldn't have done it of course, but I don't know." She felt conflicted about her decisions. It was her duty as princess to do what is best for her people. It was her duty to do what was asked of her. It was her duty to serve her tribe. But the choice she made was to refuse all of it. When she was younger, she never really cared that she was going to have to take over the tribe when she grew up, but that had all changed when she fell in love with Bolin. Suddenly, she didn't want to go back. She didn't want to leave him.
"Hey, we are going to be there in about an hour." Korra informed them.
"Thanks," Eska said.
Korra had borrowed a speedboat from Varrick. That's why it took so much less time than their trip to RepublicCity. For this Eska was grateful. She wanted this over as soon as possible.
"But, why? I don't understand why you won't let him! He is royalty to the tribe as much as me!" Eska yelled at the men before her. All of the men were scared of her. She was vicious when she was mad. She began to go back to her old ways, but only for this one occasion because these men were against her.
One of the men cowered when she spoke, but then said, "I'm sorry, princess. It's the law. We cannot change it."
"Eska, let me handle this." Korra walked in front of her and began to speak. "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I AM THE AVATAR. I CAN CHANGE WHATEVER LAWS I WANT," she yelled.
Had she not been a fully realized avatar, they probably would not have listened. Everyone fears a fully realized avatar. Especially when she is this feisty. Their mouths said differently.
Korra had been told not to abuse the avatar state, and she'd really come to appreciate it, but she only needed to scare them. She figured it would be okay.
"I'm not sure we can change traditio-" The air started swirling around them. "OKAY, please get her out. We will change it!" The man said to Eska and Desna.
She came out before they could say anything. "Why?" Korra challenged them.
"Because a male is a better heir than a female, regardless of age."
"That's better." She smirked and crossed her arms.
Desna walked out of the main room in the palace with the man talking to him.
"You will have to come and assume the position as soon as possible. We don't want things to fall out of order."
Desna nodded, then went to join Eska and Korra right outside waiting for them. "I don't understand why they think this is so important. Korra, your father will overall be ruling both tribes. I won't be doing anything," Desna complained.
"You do get all of the perks that come with it," Eska told him.
"When have I ever enjoyed things, Eska?"
She shrugged. "At least its cold all the time." She didn't mind the temperature of RepublicCity, she just preferred the freezing temperature of the poles.
"When do you think they'll get back?" Bolin asked as he flopped on the couch.
"I don't know, Bo. These things take time." It wasn't that Mako was okay with waiting because he hated it. He just wanted Korra to come back. He wasn't there to keep her from doing things she is going to regret. He was worried for her. He just didn't show it.
The door opened, and Eska ran in straight to Bolin and hugged him. She would have knocked him down, but he was too built. Mako watched and saw how happy his brother now is. He turned, and Korra was behind waiting for him.
"I'm back, city boy."
He hugged her. "I wish I was there. I hope you didn't do anything out of line."
She gave him a look, but that was exactly what she did. She forced them to change a law they've had for as long as they were considered a nation.
