AVATAR:
The Legacy of Yorha
BOOK 1: AIR
CHAPTER 1: THE RETURN, PART 1
AIR..., FIRE..., EARTH..., WATER.
Long ago, Avatar Korra disconnected herself from the Avatar cycle and when she died, so did the Avatar chain. In the year 2003, modern warfare is on the rise and benders are being hunted by a new threat called the Bender Hunters. Now, the world is thrown out of balance yet again. But this time, there is no Avatar to save it.

[August 1st]
Jinora arrived in the port of the North Pole, ready to meet the birthday girl and old friend, for a day of fun and relaxation. A sign bobbing up and down that read "Flutterbutt", a "cute" nickname that Jinora got from her old friend Yorha, indicated where the birthday girl was in the crowd. Ginora was like a mentor for Yorha and they had nicknames for each other from those days. As fate would have it,Yorha had a handicap, being developmentally delayed. For even though she was going to be 18 today, she still had the innocence of a 14 year old. Jinora made her way through the crowd to Yorha.
Yorha : "Flutterbutt!"
Jinora : "Waterwench!"
The pair hugged and jumped up and down...
Yorha : "AH! I'm so glad you're here! I just unlocked all the characters and stages in Super Smash Bros Melee and I've been practicing with Mewtwo, so there's no way you can beat me. Mwahaha!"
Jinora : "Well then, I'll have to ketchup to you."
Yorha : "I'll relish the challenge."
Jinora : "I'll take that as a condiment."
The two of them share a laugh at the bad jokes, as they head to the citadel and play together until the party is ready.
After playing a few matches in Smash Melee, the party gets started and it's huge! 100,000,000 yen spent on the Chieftain's daughter's party: the decorations, the catering, and the cake. And 70,000,000 yen spent on presents, for this would be the last birthday party that Yorha is going to celebrate. From this day forward, she is an adult and must contribute to the survival of the tribe. She received some practical gifts: a map of good locations to hunt and fish, a sewing machine, and a 10 pack of black and dark blue fabrics. She was not too fond of those, but was grateful anyway. She WAS especially exited about her new games: Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, Devil May Cry 2, Biohazard: Code Veronica Kanzenban, Halo: Combat Evolved, Team Fortress Classic, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, Mario Party 4, Metroid Prime, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. But she could not shake the feeling of dread. Her life was going to change forever and not just contributing to the tribe, which in itself was a change she was not ready for, something else. ...She blew out the candles and she made a wish. The wish was for the Avatar to return.
Chieftain Ayane : "Good night, my Goth Princess."
Yorha : "Good night, Mama."
That night, Yorha had a nightmare that she had been captured by the Bender Hunters. She had tattered black clothes and her black eye makeup was running. But just as all hope seemed lost, Raava came to her saying that SHE will be the new Avatar! In a flash of light, Raava gifted the abilities of the Avatar to Yorha. She metal bent her cell bars and used the rest of the bending styles in Avatar State, tearing through the base and burning it to the ground. Then, she woke up.

[August 2nd]
Yorha and Jinora travel to a fishing spot, but Jinora gets beaned in the head by a snow ball. The culprit is none other than Yorha. The two play a snow ball fight game. Yorha, overjoyed at the levity of the situation, subconsciously makes a torrent of air below her, lifting her off the ground.
Jinora : "YORHA! LOOK DOWN, YOU'RE AIRBENDING!"
Yorha, shocked at the fact she was airbending, falls and creates an ice slide, catching her and landing herself safely in the snow.
Yorha (panicking): "I can't believe that I just did that! I don't why I did that. How did I do that?"
Jinora: "I don't know how it's possible, but the only explanation is: you're the Avatar!"
Yorha: "So that wasn't just a dream. Raava really chose me to be the new Avatar?!"
Then, Yorha fills in her friend and mentor about her dream last night. The Avatar is back!
