Sorry for not updating.


I felt Lin's soft lips press against my mine. I quickly pulled away confused. "Lin why the hell would you do that?"

She stared at me with cool eyes and said nothing. At that moment her cool façade broke for just a moment, but in that moment I saw something in her break. I knew from then on any and all relationship we had as friends was broken.

She walked away the steps of her armor echoing in the large halls of the council room. When she exited, I exhaled and pressed cool hands to my face. This couldn't be happening. Why did this have to be so hard? If only I didn't love the Avatar. . .


Later that day the White Lotus Sentries and one of the best healers came to watch over Korra on request of the council. Tenzin explained to Korra what the healer was for and she grudgingly complied with Tenzin's orders. Not only after setting fire to the carpet.

"Korra, the healer is here, please behave while she does the check up," giving her a stern look Korra flashed her pouty lip.

The healer was an old Water Tribe who had smile lines that framed her deep set blue eyes. Her stark white hair was braided back into a long braid that fell behind her back. Her aged hands were calloused and scarred from years of experience. Her pale face saw many things, it spoke of stories that she would never share.

"Hello, Avatar Korra my name is Lira. Please sit down." Korra gave a small bow and rolled her eyes. "So Avatar how long have the spirits been talking to you?"

Korra looked up eyes narrowed, not sure of how to answer. Lira sensed the Avatar's distrust. "I don't think that you have a mental illness Avatar, you don't have to be afraid to tell me. Maybe I can help you decipher what the spirits may have said.

"Well, they didn't really talk to me, they more told me things. But I don't understand what they meant."

"What exactly did they say?"

She scrunched up her face trying to recall the memory. "I-I don't remember."

"Try to remember," Lira encouraged her.

"Well, all I really remember is that I was feeling sad and the spirits said that I shouldn't feel that way, then nothing, just a blinding light." Lira nodded and gave an inquiring look.

"Okay, well please lay down young Avatar and I will look at your flow of chi."

"Why?"

"Because, that was I was brought here to do," Lira gave a knowing smile and Korra did as she said.

Lira looked down at the Avatar. This girl could possibly be in danger. The flow of her chi was off balance. The spirit who talked to her had the answers to fix that, but the other counter part of this would have to comply also.

Taking the water away from Korra she put it back to her water sack and stood up. "Get up young Avatar. Your time is done, I will talk with your guardian now, please go get him."

She stood up and nodded. But then she saw the stern face of Tenzin at the open doors. "I am already here, Healer Lira."

"Good, I need to speak with you now. Korra please leave us." Hesitantly Korra left with the Sentry who escorted her down the hallway.

Tenzin stood across from the old lady. Then a smirk cracked on his sculptured face. "Lira, nice to see you again."

Lira's cheek bones rose. "Hello, Tenzin nice to see you again. It's been years hasn't it? Last time I remember seeing you the Air Acolytes were giving you your tattoo. You were fifteen right? "

Tenzin remembered when he finally mastered

Smiling he nodded and gave her a light hug. "So what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Sit down first then I'll tell you." Sitting down and resting his hands on his knees, sitting tall and proud Tenzin awaited for the old lady to start.

"I know everything, the kiss what they said. Just what did you do?"

Emotion flashed in his eyes. Sighing he knew that there was no use hiding it so he told her everything. Sparing no details, at the end of it all Lira gave a small nod. "So you are in love with the Avatar?"

"Yes," was all Tenzin could manage to say. Lowering his head he brought a hand to his face tears streamed to his eyes.

"Why are you crying Air Nomad?"

"Because I am her teacher, I am not supposed to be in love with her."

"Have you ever thought that you were her spirit companion?"

"What is that," his voice growing silent.

"In each life the Avatar has two companions that move on with him or her in each life. The souls are always the same. They have one animal companion and a spirit companion. Your father's companion was his teacher."

"How can that be? I was born when my father was still alive."

"It was needed for you to be born early. Aang's spirit guide already passed one. You are needed to be older then the Avatar. You are meant to be her teacher."

"Why is that way though?" Tenzin cried tears streamed down his fine features.

"It is the way the spirits intended it to be," Lira said no other words before she stood up and walked to the doorway. "I will tell the council that Korra is fine and she was indeed talking to the spirits. But Tenzin be careful, I sense that something is coming after that girl. I fear for her safety and yours as well."

With those last words the old lady left Air Temple Island leaving Tenzin in a perplexed state. Meanwhile on the other side of the Island Korra was practicing her Airbender forms while being watched by the Sentries.

Still with no luck she couldn't get even a puff of air. The most 'Airbending' she did was breath.


Back on the mainland Asami was already making plans for the wedding. Mako on the other hand was working himself to the bone in the gym. Trying to get the thoughts of the wedding out of his head, it was just like when he was trying to get Korra out of his mind, it was nearly impossible.

Why did he propose to Asami? Was it because he wanted to deny his feelings of Korra? Was he trying to upstage her in some way or form? He didn't know. All he knew was that Asami was not the one who he was meant to marry.

The scuffling of feet came from around the corner and appeared Bolin. "Hey, bro you're here early."

"Uh yeah, I just wanted to get a head start. You know with the championships coming up and all. Don't want to let Asami and Mr. Sato down." Mako stopped what he was doing and smiled at Bolin.

"Yeah that is true, Hey bro can I ask you something?" Turning to his brother Mako nodded and wiped his brow with his left hand. He stopped and stared at the ring that was on his hand.

"Yeah, what is it?"

"Do you love Korra?"

Caught off guard Mako flinched and shook his head regaining his composure. "Come on Bo, she's just a pal."

"Okay, good because you can't like Korra while you're with Asami, that wouldn't be fair to her."

Mako silently nodded and went back to training. What Bolin said stuck with him; it wouldn't be fair to her. . .
