Every citizen in the world knew that Avatar Korra and Raava will soon leave the world permanently but, little do they know that Raava didn't leave the world for chaos to bloom. Continuing the Avatar Cycle, Earth was the next in line. Before Korra passed away, she left Asami in charge of the White Lotus to search for the next Avatar because deep in her heart, she knows that she wasn't the last.

"S-sweetie, there's something I haven't told you about." Korra coughed as she said those words.

Asami was holding her hand alongside Mako, Bolin, Opal, Jinora and her siblings. Korra was lying on the hospital bed, staring at her beautiful wife.

The engineer was startled about what Korra said, "W-what do you mean?"

Asami held her hand tighter than ever before while warm tears drip down the sides of her cheeks.

"This is j-just the beginning," Asami continued to cry while looking at Korra mumbling through her last hours.

"'Sami, I know I'm not the l-last Avatar. I can f-feel it. Raava's searching for another chosen one. I want you to l-lead the White Lotus to search for my next l-life." Korra smiled after saying that last word.

Asami was quite shocked about what the Avatar said. "What? I thought you we're the la-" Korra interrupted her before she can finish.

"No 'Sami, I'm not. I'm the start of the new cycle. There will al-always be an A-avatar." Korra's eyes filled with tears while she laid her head back on the pillow.

"I love you Asami. More than you know. You're my everything and I want to see you again in my next life." Korra closed her eyes and smiled as her heart slowly stopped beating.

Asami weeped as if she wanted to go with Korra. "No! Korra! I l-love you." She nuzzled her face on the Avatar's ears as her hand traces Korra's cheeks.

Asami, together with the White Lotus, began the search for the new Avatar throughout the nations in the Earth Kingdom. It has been ten years of searching for the Avatar and one day, they heard a fight brew up in the middle of a public market.

"HEY! GIVE IT BACK!" A young girl's voice was heard throughout the small market. "What are you gonna do little kid! HAHAHA" Deep, rough voices of men can be heard as if they we're circling someone. Asami and the rest of the White Lotus guards rushed towards the screams they heard. They finally reached a place where a crowd was huddling up. They pushed aside several people to get through the tight spaces in the crowd. In the middle was a young girl wearing a green sleeveless top and brown pants with white wraps on the shin of both legs. She was small like Toph in her younger years and had short hair like Korra's previous hair do. She was crying and screaming at the 3 huge brawlers around her.

"THATS MY MONEY! PLEASE! I NEED FOOD!" The young girl screamed over and over again. Asami signaled the guards to protect the child. The guards reacted quickly because it was their first fight again in a while. They ran towards the 3 men who then threw a huge chunk of rock to one of the guards. The last few guards bent their abilities. Water, fire and earth could be seen spitting out through the rumble. The 2 brawlers fell unconscious to the ground while the last one stood high and strong. The last 2 guards threw water at the huge man but the brawler blocked it with an earth wall. He threw the wall over the guards and knocked them out. Asami, who sneaked behind the thug, smashed her electric glove on the man's back to knock him out too. She then ran over to the crying girl.

"Hey kid! Are you alright?" Asami said with a worried look in her eyes. The girl slowly stopped sobbing and looked at Asami. "What's you-" Asami stopped as she was struck with awe. The girl's eyes had a beautiful ocean blue tint to them, much similar with Korra's. All those memories with Korra suddenly flashed in front of her. She didn't notice the tears building up in her eyes as she hugged the girl in her arms. The girl giggled as she wrapped her short arms around Asami neck. Asami pulled away and asked her "K-Korra?" she realized she wasn't holding the love of her life in her arms but a small child with warm smile. "I'm not Avatar Korra miss" the girl chuckled and wiped Asami's tears away. "Oh, I'm s-sorry." Asami quickly brushed of her tears with her sleeves. "What's your name, kid?" Asami said, now with a clear voice. "My name's Kurana and I'm an EARTHBENDER!" Kurana raised her hand as several rocks surrounded her and Asami. Asami was shocked and in that moment she knew, she has found her.
