The Myth of Y/N (Korra X Reader)

CONFLICT AND NEW FRIENDS

Y/N'S POV

It is a new day for Korra and I after we spent our first night at Air Temple Island. We managed to explore a bit of island to see what was there, as well as having a look at our respective rooms. Honestly, the area and the architecture are beautiful, Tenzin and his family are lucky to live here. Speaking of Tenzin, we are currently having breakfast with him and the Air Acolytes. I look to my right and see Korra reading the newspaper. Knowing Korra, whatever caught her attention has to be exciting.

"And in the final round, the Buzzard-Wasps won with a decisive knockout. What do you say we go to the arena tonight, catch a few pro-bending matches?"

Ah, pro-bending: my favourite sport in existence. I completely forgot about it for a while because of Korra's firebending test and our arrival in Republic City. It would be so cool if we could go and see a match.

Tenzin, however, looks uninterested.

"That sport is a mockery of the noble tradition of bending."

Oh, he's one of those. Great.

Despite this, Korra remains determined. "Come on Tenzin, Y/N and I dreamed about seeing a pro-bending match since we were kids, and now we're just a ferry ride away from the arena."

Oh yeah, how did I forget that the arena is so close to Air Temple Island? Man, I can really be oblivious sometimes.

Although Korra is persistent, Tenzin is determined too. "Korra, you're not here to watch that drivel. You're here to finish your Avatar training. So for the time being, I want you to remain on the island."

I mean, he has a point. We did come here to start Korra's airbending training and make her a fully realised Avatar, not to watch pro-bending. Once that is done, then we can watch the matches. Besides at least the island is amazing, it's not like we're going to be locked in our rooms or anything.

But Korra doesn't seem to get it. "Is that why you're keeping the White Lotus sentries around to watch my every move?"

Oh yeah, they were so quiet I didn't even notice they were there. Like I said, I can be oblivious at times. Still, they feel like parents breathing down their children's necks every second.

Tenzin doesn't see the situation like that though. "Yes, in order to learn airbending, I believe you require a calm, quiet environment, free from any distractions."

I decide to step in. "Master Tenzin is right, Korra. I want to watch pro-bending matches too, don't get me wrong, but we came here to complete your training. We can visit the arena after."

Tenzin seems pleased by my comment, as a small smile forms on his face. "Thank you, Y/N. I recommend you listen to your friend Korra, they recognise the importance of your stay, as should you."

Korra sighs in defeat. "Fine, I'll stay. I'm gonna head to my room and change into my new robes." She walks away, leaving Tenzin and I alone.

I gulp. Is this the right time to ask Tenzin that I want to be a part of Korra's lessons? To be honest, the Air Nomad culture really interests me, and I really want to learn more about it. I take a deep breath and speak up.

"Master Tenzin?"

The airbending master draws his attention away from his food to look at me. "Yes, Y/N?"

"Is it fine if I could attend Korra's lessons? I promise I won't distract her, its just your culture is so fascinating and I want to know more of it."

Tenzin looks surprised for a moment, and then his face softens. "Of course, Y/N. It is nice to see someone as young as you being interested in the Air Nomadic culture."
