Dangerous 2: Change

Chapter 13

So glad you guys still want books 3 and 4 :) That makes me so happy, you can't understand! I was worried when I started to lose slack with this one and thought that I wouldn't be able to finish this series in its entirety, but with this new found vigor you guys have given me I know I can :D

Also, this chapter and possibly the following will only be Korra's POV.

...

~Korra~

"Focus, Korra." Tenzin urged. "Focus."

My ears flicked, annoyed, and I grimaced slightly. "I am focusing."

We sat beneath the statue of Avatar Yangchen, the air Avatar before Aang. I had my eyes closed and my fists together, doing all but giving up on this whole thing and turn the world over to damnation. I'd die before letting that happen.

"No talking." Tenzin said. "Feel the energy of the universe."

I tried not to growl in frustration. I took a deep breath in and let it out slowly. "Okay, I feel it."

"Korra, really!" Tenzin snapped, making me open my eyes. He was glaring at me. "I'm trying to concentrate here!" He frowned and stood up. "I don't think this location is going to work either."

"What is going on with you?" I said as I, too, got up. "First, you're blaming Meelo, then Kya, and now me."

"Well, nothing is feeling right to me." he said.

I didn't bother to stop my growl that time. "I hate to rush your feelings, but we're kind of in a hurry." I said. I calmed myself, knowing that my impending anger tantrum wasn't going to get us anywhere. "How did you first get into the Spirit World? Let's try that."

Tenzin signed and looked down. "Actually, I've never been in the Spirit World."

My eyes widened in shock. "You've never been to the Spirit World?"

"But you used to spend days in the temple meditating." Pema said as she entered the room, followed by the rest of the family.

"Trying to get in." Tenzin said and looked at her. "It never happened. It's my greatest shortcoming as an airbender, spiritual leader, and son of Aang."

Bumi laughed, grinning at Tenzin. "Welcome to the 'I Disappoint Dad' club!"

His comment was ignored. "If you've never been to the Spirit World, how did you expect to get Korra into it?"

"I've spent years studying techniques and theories of ancient spiritual leaders. Now that the Avatar needs me, it must be my time." Tenzin said with a gesture towards me.

"Tenzin," I said gently. "Harmonic Convergence is almost here. If Vaatu escapes from the Spirit World-"

"You have to trust me." Tenzin interrupted. "I can help you."

"There might be another way." Kya said and looked at Jinora. "Jinora, is there something you'd like to tell Korra?"

"Jinora? She's too young and untrained to have knowledge about spiritual matters." Tenzin said.
