The Myth of Y/N (Korra X Reader UNREQUITED) Part 16
A STRANGER AMONG STRANGE LANDS
Y/N'S POV
I open my eyes to see a world full of life and colour. It's full of luscious green, various of flowers, spirits flying across the plains, mountains stretching for miles. This place is...breath-taking.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Jinora asks who sounds just as amazed as I am.
I gasp for breath in the awe of what I am seeing. "Beautiful is an understatement. I...I've never seen anything like this."
Korra, on the other hand, seems less amazed than we are. "Just stick close together, okay? This seems nice, but you never know when we'll run into dark spirits."
Huh...fair enough.
She proceeds to touch a flower, only for the flower and transform into a massive spiritual butterfly! Wow!
"Look!" Jinora exclaimed, pointing at the spirit. "It's like it's made of jewels! The spirits are so much more beautiful in their own world than they are at home."
I chuckle at the scene before me. Man, this place is so...magical.
Jinora starts chasing the spirit, though, and I realise she's starting to get a bit far from us. I remember the last thing Tenzin said to me.
"Look out for my daughter."
I promised him that I would. I'm not going to let him down.
"Jinora, wait!" I shout, running to catch up with her. After a short moment, I finally reach her. She's still playing with the spirit.
"This is so amazing, Y/N!" Jinora tells me, her eyes never leaving the butterfly.
I sigh in relief. "Yeah, it is. Don't run off next time, okay? Korra's right, there can be dark spirits anywhere. We need to stick together."
The airbender sighs but nods. "Yeah, okay. I understa-"
"-Y/N! Jinora!"
Korra?
We both turn around, and it looks like she's being attacked by some meerkat spirits trying to attach some blue liquid onto her or something. They don't look like dark spirits to me. Did she somehow piss them off?
Jinora realises this too and is quick to act. "Korra, stay calm! Your energy is upsetting them!"
I concentrate a bit and...yeah! Her energy is having a negative affect on the spirits here!
"Jinora's right, Korra!" I shout at her. "Stay calm! You're making this worse for yourself!"
We both rush towards her, hoping to settle the situation. By the time we get to her, she is surrounded by this...blue jelly? What?!
Suddenly, the ground begins to shake! What is going on?!
Wait! It's not shaking! WE'RE SINKING!
NO NO NO NO!
We all get sucked into the hole recently created by the spirits, only to end up underwater. I hold my breath as long as I can and I swim closer to Jinora and Korra.
Great. Now what-
-I see Korra's eyes widen and, as I turn, I see why.
THERE IS A MASSIVE CROCIDLE DINOSAUR FUSION SPIRIT HEADING RIGHT TOWARDS US! SHIT!
The spirit engulfs us quickly and easily but, instead of a stomach, we are in some kind of cave system, following a river's trail. I emerge from beneath and let out a huge breath of air. Then I look towards me, and see two diverging paths. Before I can warn them, Jinora and I start heading toward the left path while Korra is heading towards the right!
"Y/N! JINORA!" Korra shouts out, but by then it's too late. We're separated!
No no no no no no no no
I look forward again and I see two more separate ways. Before I can react I feel the water pushing me to the left direction while I see Jinora going to the right.
NO!
"JINORA!" I let out.
"Y/N!" she shouts back...and then she is gone from my view.
NO! NO! NO!
Finally, I reach the end of the river, as I am thrusted off the edge and I land painfully on my back on the solid ground. I groan from the pain and open my eyes.
I'm in some kind of...spiritual forest. It looks very peaceful and calm. Contrasting from the greenery from the area before, it's taking on some kind of a blueish appearance.
After recovering from the pain, I rise back up.
This isn't happening. This isn't happening.
We're all separated. I am lost in the Spirit World, with no hopes of finding Korra and Jinora.
Jinora.
"Look out for my daughter."
How am I supposed to keep my promise now that we're separated?! If something happens now I will never forgive myself!
"KORRA! JINORA!" I shout out, hoping, no, desperate that any one of them is nearby.
I get no response.
"DAMMIT!"
My scream as loud and fiery as a eruptive volcano startles the wildlife in the forest, causing some spirits to fly away from me in fear.
I pant and pant, trying to catch my breath. I need to find them as fast as possible. Me being angry at myself won't do anything helpful.
I sigh, take a deep breathe, and start walking in a random path. Every minute I call out Korra or Jinora's names but I keep getting no response. The forest seems to be stretching out for miles and miles and miles with no end in sight.
Come on, Y/N! There has to be something I can do!
"KOR-"
"-CAN YOU STOP SHOUTING FOR THE LOVE OF RAAVA?!"
Huh?!
I whip to my right and I see...nothing. All I see is just some trees, blue and pink flowers, and a colourful mushroom. Am I going crazy?!
"Who...who said that?"
"I DID!"
"Ah!" I let out as I fall backwards onto the floor in shock.
Did...did that mushroom just...talk?!
"You're talking to me?" I slowly ask them, my heart still racing.
The...mushroom...actually has a mouth. "YEAH! CAN YOU PLEASE STOP SHOUTING "KORRA!" THIS AND "JINORA!" THAT! KEEP THIS UP AND THE WHOLE SPIRIT WORLD WILL HEAR YOU!"
I...I...huh?
"You're...talking to me." I repeat to them, still stunned by what's happening.
The mushroom scoffs at me (SCOFFS). "OF COURSE I'M TALKING TO YOU! WHY WOULDN'T I?"
I slowly stand back up and lean forward to make sure my eyes aren't deceiving me. "You're...you're a mushroom."
"SO? ARE YOU SAYING MUSHROOMS CAN'T TALK?!" the spirit yells at me, clearly offended by my comment.
"Wha-No! No, that's not what I meant!" I urgently tell the spirit, waving my hands about to calm them down. "I'm sorry, where I'm from mushrooms talking isn't heard of."
The mushroom hums in acknowledgement, seeming to calm down now. "Yeah, I can tell. You're a human. Haven't seen a human in a while."
"Uh...yeah." I simply respond. "This is my first time in the Spirit World. I came with my friends but we got separated. Do you have any idea on where I can find them?"
"Hmmmm, let me think." The spirit replies. "Duh! Of course not!"
I frown at the response. Seriously?
"Why not?"
"I'm a mushroom."
"So?"
"Does it look like I'm the type of spirit to move around? Does it look like I know where to go?"
I open my mouth to respond...only to close it. Shit. The mushroom is right.
I groan heavily and rub my cheeks with my palms. Okay, so, it is going to take ages for me to find them, if I do find them anyway. And the only friendly spirit I've encountered so far doesn't know where they could be. Terrific. Just the best.
"Okay." I reply to them, growing agitated. "So there aren't any maps or something? Any knowledge on where to go?"
The mushroom hums again. "Hmmm. Knowledge, huh? Your best bet on finding knowledge would be Wan Shi Tong's Spirit Library. He knows ten thousand things!"
Wan Shi Tong? Library? Those stuff seem familiar. Didn't Avatar Aang and his friends go there once?
"Wait a second." I say, snapping out of my thoughts. "You said you had no idea on where to go!"
"I did not!" The mushroom snaps back. "I said I had no idea where you're friends would be. Doesn't mean I don't know anything! You ever been forced to sit in a single position for all your life, human?"
I just give them a blank expression. "No, I have not."
"Oh, you're lucky! It's pretty boring!" the spirit quickly replies. "But when you're a spirit like me, forced to remain in one position for eternity, you'll find yourself hearing a lot of things from the others spirits. Man, I remember when the library entering the Spirit World over seventy years ago was the big news. Every spirit who came to this area was talking about it."
"I see." I reply. "And I take it you don't know where the library is?"
"Of course I do!"
"Wait, really?!"
"NO! Were you not listening to me earlier?! I'm a MUSHROOM! I can't move! Just find the next friendly spirit and see if they can help you."
I sigh and rub my forehead. At least I have some hope now "Okay. Thanks anyway."
The spirit hums again. "No problem, human."
"Y/N. My name is Y/N."
"Nice, Y/N!" The mushroom replies, as if the spirit is amazed by my name. "I don't have a name. I was never able to come up with one."
Oh...that's sad. Maybe...
"How about "Hope"? I suggest. "Thanks to you, you've given me some light in this darkness."
The mushroom's mouth is wide open and is silent. Is it a good silence or a bad silence?
Then, all of a sudden, the mushroom starts squealing. "THAT'S GREAT! "HOPE"! I LIKE IT!"
I chuckle at the scene before me. "See you later, Hope. Thanks for the help." I tell them, waving them goodbye as I begin to walk away.
"See you later, Y/N!" Hope calls back.
Now...time to find another spirit.
THIRTY MINUTES LATER
DAMMIT!
Every single spirit I approach end up flying away from me! Do I look intimidating or something?
I rush around the forest, desperate to try and find a spirit at all...but nothing.
UGH! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW?! WALK AROUND AND JUST HOPE I'LL FIND ONE?!
"I need a miracle." I say aloud, sitting down on a big rock.
Come on, Y/N. Think! There has to be someone out here, right?!
I look around the area, the forest still looking the same. I can't hear any bit of movement. I don't see any spirits around.
I sigh and look down to the ground. What am I going to do?
"Hello, do you need help?"
The panic from the sudden voice made me lose my balance from the rock and fall off. Was that a spirit?!
I look back up and-
-It's not a spirIt.
It's...a human?
Another human is in the Spirit World? From his looks...he looks awful. His black and grey hair clearly hasn't been treated well, with its long and messy look. His clothes look terrible too, with his robes having a few tiny holes and are just generally unclean. Spirits, the bottom of his robes look like they've been cut to ribbons. And it looks like he is wearing bandages all around his arms and legs. I glance at his face and, despite his messy, black and grey hair, he looks to be relatively young. Maybe in his late thirties? Maybe early forties? His eyes are a olive green and his eyebrows are sharp. Interestingly, though, his left eyebrow seems to have been cut slightly, disconnecting one section of the eyebrow from the other. Where did this guy come from?
"Uh...I'm sorry?" I simply reply back, not really knowing what to say.
The man reaches out with his hand, a gentle smile on his face. "I'm sorry I scared you, that was not my intention. I was simply asking if you needed help."
He is stretching is hand out to me, an obvious gesture to pull me up. I glance at the hand, then at his face, then back at his hand. After a moment of hesitation, I take it, and he pulls me back up.
"It's fine." I tell him. "And, yeah, I do need help."
The man tilts his head slightly in confusion. "Is there a problem?"
I sigh deeply and nod. "Yeah. I was separated from two of my friends. A spirit told me my best bet would be going to Wan Shi Tong's spirit library to find answers."
He narrows his gaze like he is examining me. "I see. Do you know the directions?"
I groan again and turn around, examining the forest. "Nope. I don't have a clue. I was suggested to talk to another spirit, but every time I try to confront one they run away from me!"
I sigh yet again and drop my head. "It's fine, I'll figure something out. I'll just-"
"-I can take you there." The man interrupted, his gaze hardening. "I haven't been inside the library myself, but I have seen the building during my travels."
I whip back at the man, my eyes widened.
He knows how to get there?!
Should I trust him? I don't even know his name!
I walk closer to him. "No offense, but I have no idea who you are. What if this is a trap?"
Instead of being offended as I assumed he would, his smile widens slightly. "True, but then again I also don't know who you are."
Ah...touché.
"Okay...fair enough." I reply back. "But why do you want to help me? What do you gain from all of this?"
My words do not faze him in the slightest. "Can't a man help someone out of the kindness of their heat? Would have you done the same?"
Yes...I would. Hmmm. I...I guess he's got me there. This seems weird but...he may be my only chance on reuniting with Korra and Jinora. I guess I have no choice. I'll try not to tell him anything personal though...just in case.
"Very well." I tell him. I bring my hand towards him. "I'm Y/N."
The stranger takes my hand gently and we shake. "A pleasure to meet you, Y/N. My name is Yorru."
Yorru, huh? Cool.
"Nice to meet you, Yorru." I respond. "Lead the way."
Yorru begins leading me along a narrow path, so narrow in fact that the tree branches on the right begin scraping my arm a bit. Ow.
A few minutes go by, no word exchanged with one another. I can't tell if the silence is awkward or not.
"So, why were you and your friends in the Spirit World to begin with?" Yorru asks me out of nowhere, breaking the silence.
I'm still not sure on whether I trust this guy. What should I say?
"My friends and I always wanted to visit the Spirit World." I tell him. "We decided to just do it and see what was there. We should have been more prepared."
Yorru hums in agreement. "Yes, the Spirit World can be a beautiful place...but it can also be dangerous."
I tilt my head curiously. "Sounds like you have experience."
The man chuckles at my claim. "I spend most of my time in the Spirit World. I've seen almost everything that happens here.
Huh. Interesting.
"Forgive me for asking," I tell him, "but why do you spend most of your time here? Do you hate humans that much?"
Yorru lets out a full on laugh at my question, obviously finding it quite humorous. "No, I do not hate humans. I simply spend my time in this realm because it makes me feel more free than ever. Freedom is essential to one's happiness."
"I suppose." I tell him. "But what's stopping you from being free in the human world?"
The man remains silent for a moment, thinking on how to reply to my question. "I haven't been free in a long time. "What ifs" and what could have beens have been plaguing my mind for years. I'm homeless, you see? I am worthless to the eyes of corrupt leaders of the nations. But here? Here, I feel more alive than ever."
That's-that's really sad. I wouldn't go so far to say all the leaders are corrupt but from his position...I can't blame him for thinking that. I feel sorry for him. "I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you're finding happiness in the Spirit World. Do you have any friends in our world?"
I can see his eyes full of regret and sadness...and longing. "I did. Three of them, actually. They were my best friends. One of them...she...she was the love of my life. But they're gone now."
My heart aches at his words. I don't question what happened to them. It's not my place. Out of sympathy, I place my hand on his shoulder. "I'm really sorry about that."
Yorru sends a smile my way. "It's fine, it's not your fault."
I smile back and we continue walking in silence. After a few moments though...
"What about you?"
I look back at him and tilt my head in confusion. "What about me?"
Yorru chuckles at my confusion. "You said you always wanted to visit the Spirit World. How come?"
Shit. I feel bad about lying to him since of what he told me earlier, but I don't really want to give out some important information to a stranger. Maybe I just tell him a bit of truth.
"I was always interested in spiritual matters, Spirit World included." I start, pondering on what I should say next. "I don't know, just the mystic nature of it all grabbed my attention. And now I'm here...it's not like anything I imagined. Everything is so different here from our world, what we think is this way is actually different here. Like, just earlier, I spoke to a talking mushroom. I didn't consider the possibility of that happening, you know?"
See, not a total lie.
Yorru hums in acknowledgement to my rambling. "I understand perfectly. When you base your expectations only on what you see, you blind yourself to the possibilities of a new reality."
Woah...
"That was pretty wise, Yorru." I tell him. "Did you just come up with that on the spot?"
Yorru chuckles at my question. "No. I...I got that from a philosopher I admire."
Interesting.
"Fair enough." I simply reply. "That sounds like what an Air Nomad would say. I've heard plenty of stuff similar to that."
Yorru turns to look at me, his eyes widened. "You're familar with Air Nomadic culture?"
"Mmhm." I simply reply. "I'm not an expert or anything but I like to think I have a decent amount of knowledge of the culture. My friends think its boring, but I find it so fascinating."
I glance at Yorru and I see his smile has widened even more. "I, too, find the culture fascinating. I admire it. Their views on life and how the world works are truly inspiring."
"Indeed." I respond. "If you're a big fan of the culture, why not become aa Air Acolyte? I'm sure they will welcome you in."
Yorru chuckles at my suggestion. "Thank you for the suggestion, but I doubt I would fit in. There's a difference between admiration and desiring to join."
I chuckle back. "I suppose so. There are times where I think of becoming an Air Acolyte myself but I don't know. Maybe some day."
"You're young, you have plenty of time to figure it out." Yorru tells me.
I smile in response to his words. "Thanks. I'm going to be honest, I did initially judge you based on your appearance. I'm sorry about that. But, talking to you, you seem like a pretty cool guy."
My confession makes Yorru chuckle again. "I am not offended, I understand why you would have thought of that. And it looks like we're here."
Wait what?!
I look upward and....there it is. The library. Its...its upside down?! And there are vines all over it! It looks like it hasn't been used in years! I also notice that I was so focused on my conversations with Yorru that I didn't realise that we are no longer in the blueish forest.
"I am not sure how you will be able to get inside, but I am certain you will figure it." Yorru tells me. "Perhaps one day we will meet again."
I turn around to ask him what he meant by that and...he's gone. What?!
"Yorru?! YORRU?!" I shout out. I get no response.
Huh...that was weird.
Anyway, enough with that. I'm here. But how do I get to the library?
Then, faintly, I hear a noise of...wings flattering?
I turn back around and see something approaching me...its...
ITS THE BUNNY SPIRITS THAT JINORA AND I BEFRIENDED!
"Oh, heyyyy...." I say but begin to trail off. As it gets closer to me, I realise that it is a lot bigger than they were back in the human world. When it lands next to me, it produces a sound of joy and begins nuzzling against me.
"Hahah, it's nice to see you too." I tell them.
Wait a second.
I know how to get into the library!
"Hey, is it fine if you can help me with something?" I ask the spirit. "I need to get into the library, would it be fine if you can give me a ride?"
The spirit nods enthusiastically and I hop onto the spirit's back, and we are off. As we get closer, I realise just how enormous the library is, and once we're inside I realise that it is far, FAR bigger than I imagined. Seriously, there are hundreds of shelves here and there appears to be multiple floors!
I hop off the spirit and gave it a hug. "Thank you."
When I release from the hug, I realise something...isn't Wan Shi Tong supposed to be here? The spirit owl? Surely he would have shown up by now, right?
"HELLO?" I shout out, my voice echoing the halls. "ANYONE HERE?"
"Y/N?!"
Wait! Is that-
-As I look closer I see...
JINORA!
"JINORA!" I yell out, rushing towards her. "Are you okay?! How did you get here?!"
"I'm fine!" Jinora quickly. "After we got separated I was transported to some sort of open field. Furry-Foot found me and they took me to the library. What about you?"
"I was taken to a forest." I tell Jinora, attempting to summarise everything. "At first I had no clue where to go, but then I got help from this spirit mushroom and some random guy who happened to be in the Spirit World, and then one of the spirits we befriended took me here."
The airbender tilts her head in confusion. "Someone else was in the Spirit World?"
"Yeah, he seemed alright." I assured her. "But that doesn't matter now. I thought Wan Shi Tong is supposed to be here?"
"Oh, he was." Jinora clarifies. "But then after he allowed me to stay because I told him I came with the Avatar he left to go somewhere else."
Then, out of nowhere, some spirit l fox runs up to Jinora, a book in its mouth. The airbender's eyes light up with enthusiasm and takes the book. "There it is! You arrived just in time, Y/N! I found the book about Harmonic Convergence!"
Shit, really?! Awesome!
"Well, what are you waiting for?" I ask her. "Lets read it."
She opens the book and, after a few moments, she finds what she is looking for. "The tree of time. That's where Avatar Wan imprisoned Vaatu. "The elders believed that as long as the portals are closed during the Harmonic Convergence, Vaatu will remain imprisoned and the battle between good and evil will not be fought again. But if both portals are opened, spirit energy is amplified greatly. During the Harmonic Convergence, this energy will be great enough to allow Vaatu to break free from his bonds, and the matter world will again risk being consumed by darkness."
SHIT! That's not good!
"We need to tell Korra this! Now!" I urgently tell Jinora. "We need to-"
"-Why, isn't this a pleasant surprise?"
That voice.
Jinora and I both turn around and see the menacing Unalaq and Wan Shi Tong, staring us down.
"Ah, it looks like the child has brought a friend with her." the spiritual owl notes displeasingly.
"Indeed." Unalaq replies. "When Wan Shi Tong told me he had a visitor, I had to see it with my own eyes. I can't believe Tenzin sent his daughter here instead of coming himself. What kind of a father is he? And let's not forget about you, Y/N. Did you get bored by all of the temples that old fool was showing you?"
I clench my fists in anger. "That "old fool" is twice the man you are, Unalaq!"
Jinora speaks up too but with confusion instead of anger. "Wan Shi Tong, how can you be helping him?"
The spiritual owl glances down at Unalaq with pride. "Unalaq has proven to be a true friend to the spirits, unlike the Avatar."
DAMMIT!
"But don't you understand what Unalaq is going to do?" I plead, hoping to persuade the owl. "He's planning on releasing Vaatu! He will destroy everything!"
Unalaq smirks at my accusation. "Don't believe everything you read. Why don't you two come with me so you can have some first-hand research?"
NO!
"Jinora, run!" I yell at her but, before we can move, our spirit friends grab hold of us and proceed to grow bigger and transform into terrifying versions of what they were.
Dark spirits!
I try to break free from the spirit's grip, but it's no use. It's the same with Jinora too. The airbender can't move an inch.
"I can't move!" she exclaims.
"Look out for my daughter."
"Unalaq, please!" I beg the waterbender. "Let Jinora go! She's just a kid!"
"And let her warn Korra?" Unalaq smoothly replies, his smirk growing. "No, she is coming with us too."
"YOU BASTARD!" I yell at him, trying to lung forward with all my strength. I still can't break free from the dark spirit's grip.
"So much anger, young one." the waterbender taunts. "Now that you're here, I know exactly how to open the northern portal."
My eyes widen at his comment.
He's going to use us for blackmail against Korra!
NO!
"You won't win!" I spit out, but the threat is hollow.
Unalaq's smirk is still present.
"I already have."
LATER
Korra's POV
I'm on the adult dragon bird spirit and we are on our way to the portals. After that I have to figure out where Y/N and Jinora went to.
As we finally land, I approach the southern portal. It's time to finish this. I raise my hand, ready to close it and-
"-So you've returned, Raava."
I turn around, only to be face to face with the tree of time.
Face to face with Vaatu.
"The Harmonic Convergence is coming soon, and this time, I'm going to wipe you out for good."
He still thinks he has a chance? How wrong he is!
"I think you've said that before, Vaatu, but I'm here to close the portal." I proudly declare to the dark spirit. "You're not getting out."
I begin to walk away, back to the southern portal. It's time I end this.
"You might want to reconsider, that is, if you want to save you friends."
Wait, what?!
I whip back and see Unalaq, using his waterbending to surround Y/N and Jinora in water loops! They're glowing purple. Are they being corrupted?!
"Y/N! Jinora!" I exclaim. I rush forward to try and free them but all of a sudden my path is blocked by multiple dark spirts. And the ones I were with earlier have been corrupted too. I'm surrounded.
I stare right into my uncle's eyes, sending him nothing but rage and hatred. "I can't believe I trusted you. You made me think you wanted to restore balance with the spirits. But this, this isn't balance. It's madness. Now let them go!"
Unalaq isn't deterred though, he is still continuing the process. "If you want your friends to make it out of the Spirit World, you'll open the other portal now."
"Korra, don't do it!" Y/N shouts. "Think about what will happen!"
"Yeah, Korra! Don't do this!" Jinora yells at me too.
Unalaq is speeding up the process! Y/N and Jinora are about to be consumed by darkness!
"What will it be?" Unalaq asks, a smug smile on his face. "Open the portal, or lose your friends' souls forever?"
I'm sorry.
"Stop!" I beg Unalaq. "I'll do it."
I know what will happen if I do this...but I will not let Y/N and Jinora die because of my mistake of trusting my uncle.
We all approach the northern portal. After a moment of hesitation, I press my palm against it. Entering the Avatar State, I cause the closed portal to rupture, spiritual lightning conducted from the reaction, until finally it breaks open. It is done.
I turn back around and glare at Unalaq, his back facing me. "Now, let Y/N and Jinora go."
However, in a blink of an eye, my uncle sends a water whip right into my direction which ends up hitting a portion of my left arm, severing it for a moment before returning!
"You should have come through the portal." Unalaq taunts. "Then you could do this!"
I try to dodge his waterbending attacks as best as I could, dodging, flipping, and running. At the corner of my eye, I can see two dark spirits flying away with Y/N and Jinora!
"KORRA!" they both scream, full of terror.
NO!
I rush forward, desperate to catch them, only to be knocked aside by a dark spirit and caught in the mouth of another!
NO!
It drops me to the floor but, before I can get back up, I am surrounded by dark water loops. My soul is being consumed!
NOT LIKE THIS! NOT LIKE THIS!
Just before it seemed like the end, I see the dragon bird spirit I was with earlier whack Unalaq to the side, who then proceeds to pick me up with their claws and carry me away from the fight.
Before my vision darkens, the last thing I hear is Vaatu's voice.
"I'll see you soon, Raava. Once the Harmonic Convergence comes, I'll be free from this vision. And then I will have my revenge!"
...
I awake with a gasp. I'm full of sweat and my heart is racing.
I'm back in the human world! NO!
"Korra!" Tenzin says, trying to gain my attention as he rushes forward. "What was it like? Did you manage to close the portal? Were Jinora and Y/N able to help you?"
Oh no...Jinora...
""Tenzin, I'm--I'm sorry." I weakly sputter out. How could I have let this happen?!
Tenzin's face and eyes begin to be filled with panic. He checks on Y/N and Jinora's still unmoving bodies. "Where's Jinora and Y/N? W-Why aren't they waking up? Why isn't she waking up?!"
The airbender rushes towards his daughter, fear overtaking him. Jinora's motionless body slumps towards Tenzin's body. He looks back at me, his mouth wide open and his eyes full of dread.
"Korra. What happened to my little girl?!"

And that's it! I hope you enjoyed it!
What did you think of the stranger? Pretty weird, huh? :O
Constructive criticism is always appreciated!
See you all in the next chapter! :D
