Elira, now 4 years old, leant over the side of the saddle on her father's flying bison, Oogie.
Her long brown hair blew in the breeze and her bright stormy grey eyes shone with excitement.
She was practically bouncing when she caught sight of her grandmother waving at them from the icy ground of the South Pole below them.
"Gran-Gran!" The girl yelled, jumping off the bison as soon as it landed and sprinting towards her grandmother.
"Elira! My little lotus flower, look at you, you've grown so big!" Azira smiled as the little girl ran into her for a hug.
"And check this out!" Elira created an airball with her bending and jumped on it, riding around her grandmother laughing and cheering with glee.
Azira chuckled at the hyperactive child before finally turning to her son and daughter-in-law.
"Hello, Mother. It's wonderful to see you again. "Tenzin bowed his head, holding his hand up in greeting.
"Stop being so formal, Tenzin. I'm your mother, there's no need for it," Azira laughed, pulling her son in for a hug as Elira ran around them playing in the snow.
"Of course", Tenzin smiled, returning the hug. "I've missed you."
"And I you" Azira pulled back and turned to Pema, smiling at her and pulling her in for a hug also.
"Pema, it's so good to see you."
"Hello, Princess Azira", Pema returned the hug.
"Now, now. The same applies to you. No formalities; we are family, after all," Azira scolded teasingly.
"Of course"
"Mother, how's Korra?" Tenzin asked, quickly turning for a second to catch Elira as she jumped into his arms "How's her training with Aunt Katara coming along?"
"Come see for yourself" Azira smiled and waved for them to follow her inside.
Elira looked up at her father, confused. "Daddy? Who's Korra? Can I play with them? Please! Please! Please!"
Tenzin simply chuckled. "We'll see."

Inside, Azira led them to the training ground, where Katara was busy showing a waterbending technique to a young girl about Elira's age. She had tanned skin, brown hair in a high ponytail and striking blue eyes. She was dressed in Water Tribe clothing, and not far from them, a polar bear dog pup was happily rolling around in the snow.
"Gran-Gran, who's that with Auntie Katara?" Elira asked as Tenzin set her down
"That is who we're here to see. Come with me" Elira took her grandmother's hand, and they walked over towards the pair.
When the little girl saw them approaching, she grinned widely.
"Elira!" She yelled, running up to the airbender and hugging her.
Elira just stared at her in confusion as the adults shared a shocked look.
"How do you know my name?" Elira asked, looking at the girl weird
The girl looked down, confused and stumped
"I...I don't know. I just do. I feel like I've met you before," She replied
"Elira, this is Korra", Azira introduced
"I'm the Avatar!" The girl, Korra, declared proudly.
"Elira's eyes sparkled. "Really?! So was my Grandpa Aang!"
