Sorry for the mega delay! I had a trip to Boston (my stepbrother got married) and I didn't take my laptop. When I came back home it was late and I did homework all day the next day. It's been a very busy week! Enough rambling and I hope you guys like the following chapters. Comments are always appreciated :)
Home
The word home can mean many things to different people. For some it was a place where they could feel safe, for others it was where their loved ones were, for others it was just a place, and the list could go on.
For Korra the Air Temple Island had become her home. Her first home will always be the Southern Water Tribe because that was where her mother and father were along with Katara. That was also the place where she met Naga, her precious companion.
However, when she moved to Republic City she had found a new family and a new home. At Air Temple Island she lived with Tenzin, Pema, Jinora, Ikki, Meelo, and Rohan and even Oogi, Kya and Bumi. In the city she met with her best friends Asami, Bolin and Mako despite the rough beginnings. It did not take her long to realize that she could not imagine a day without any of them. They all gave her the warm fuzzy feeling that one gets when remembering a good happy memory. And when she was with them she felt as if she could just be Korra, she could feel safe and still want to protect, feel loved and love in return, share laughter and tears, and just be accepted just as she was.
It was during her battle with Zaheer, and even after, that she realized that if she were to lose anyone who was important to her she would lose total control. When she thought that the airbenders were in danger or that her father had died she left as if part of her home would be gone. And that was a scary thought.
That is why Korra decided that even if the world did not need the Avatar as Zaheer said she would still fight for those around her and for herself, to keep those who meant a lot to her and were part of her home.
