Dangerous 2: Change

Chapter 7

Things have been working slowly with me when it comes to writing, so chapters might be coming even slower than before. But there's no way in hell that I'm just gonna discontinue this!

~Korra. The next morning ~

I got up rather early to start my training with Unalaq. In fact, I barely slept due to my excitement. Finally, I was going to learn something relevant to my Avatar duties and possibly my history. I got out of bed and got dressed, kissing Asami on the forehead before I left on Naga. I arrived at the camel yak stables, my uncle already waiting for me when I got there. I jumped of Naga's back and walked to him.

"You're early." he said.

"What can I say?" I replied, grinning. "I'm pumped up learn some of that Unalaq spirit fighting!"

Unalaq placed a hand on my shoulder. "I'm not here to teach you to fight spirits. I'm here to help you being your spiritual training." he said. "We're going to one of the most remote places in the world, the long neglected spiritual center of your tribe, the South Pole."

My ears perked up immediately. "You're going to train me at the South Pole?"

"We'll do more than just train." Unalaq said. "By neglecting the spirits, the people of the South have brought darkness upon themselves, and now it threatens to destroy our tribe. We must set things right. The Southern Water Tribe depends on you."

"A dangerous trip to the South Pole?" I asked. "Count me in!"

~time skip~

I was saddling up Naga later that afternoon, preparing for my trip. Asami was helping me pack my stuff, but I could sense her uneasiness. I looked over my shoulder at her, a smile on my face as I fastened the latches on the straps.

"Why are you so worried?" I said. "You're coming, too."

"I know." she replied. "It's just... you said this trip was dangerous."

"It was over exaggeration." I said. "The most dangerous thing out there will be the cold."

"But what if there are more dark spirits out there?" Asami said.

I let go of the saddle and went up to her, wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her to me. "Then we'll handle them. Trust me, we'll be fine." I looked up towards the entrance, narrowing my eyes. "I thought you said the others were coming."

"They should be here soon, but let's make sure you have everything you need." Asami said, placing a quick kiss on my lips and making me smile.

"You sure do know how to take care of me." I said just as my ears picked up the sound of a snowmobile approaching. I looked up, seeing my father pull up.

Unalaq looked up from his own stuff, noticing my dad and scowling before walking up to him. "Tonraq, what do you want?"

"I heard you were taking Korra to the South Pole." Dad said, crossing his arms. "I'm coming."

"Absolutely not." my uncle said, angry. "You are a distraction to Korra and a hindrance to what needs to be done."

"My daughter is not going without me!" Dad said. "She needs someone to watch over her!"
