The legend of Korra: The Sansar Returns

Chapter 2

I stood on the deck as the South Pole was on the horizon. That dream I had, what does it mean? And what was it? Then I heard someone behind me, "You're up early." 

I turned seeing Zenji, "Zenji what are you doing up?"

"Well, I normally get up this time." I hung my head down. Zenji notices my concern, "Something's bothering you?"

"No, no. I'm fine." I answered.

"No, you're not fine. Tell me."

I sighed, "It's about Korra. I mean yes she's the Avatar, but she's a little........what's the word?"

"Careless? Hasty? Negligent? Immoral?" Zenji suggested.

"I was going to say carefree."

"That too."

"Not to mention, if it wasn't for her airbending Amon would've destroyed her."

" Maybe she'll come around." Zenji said.

I chuckled and rolled my eyes, "Right. That's easier said than done."

We arrived at the South Pole. Since it was close to the winter Solstice the night is usually longer. The airbending children excitedly greet Gran Gran, Aunt Kya, and a strange man who were awaiting us on the dock. 

"Oh ... you've all gotten so big." Gran Gran  said.

"We missed you, Aunt Kya." Jinora said.

"Oh, I missed you, too. Your father doesn't bring you to visit nearly enough. He's probably scared I'll beat him up like when we were kids."  Aunt Kya said playfully punching Tenzin's arm. 

I chuckled to myself. Aunt Kya hasn't changed a bit hasn't she.

"I'm not scared of you ... anymore." Tenzin said timidly rubbing his arm. 

After Aunt Kya said hello to Haruka and Hayato she eyes me and gasped, "Yukari, is that you?" she rushes over as we embraced in a big hug.

"Hi, aunt Kya."

"Look at you. You've gotten so big since I last saw you." Then the gentleman approaches us, "Oh, Yukari, this is Sonra. He's the healer I've been telling you about."

I looked up to face him. He looked a lot like lady Amaya but with darker skin and hair, "It nice to meet you." he said bowing. I bowed back, "You're related to Lady Amaya, right?"

Sonra was shocked by this, "Why yes. Who told you about my mother?"

"Well, I'm her granddaughter. Zeina's daughter."

"Zeina's here?" he then furrowed his brows. I turned behind me, seeing Zeina slowly approaching us. 

Kya clamped her hands to her mouth in disbelief, "I don't believe it."

Zeina chuckles, as tears welled up within her eyes, "It's good to see you too Kya. Aunty Katara."

"Welcome home Zeina." Katara replied with a smile.

Zeina then turns to Sonra who looks away with a cross expression, "Hello big brother."

"Zeina." Sonra said colder that arctic air. Zeina sighed, "Look, I understand that you're still upset with me but please---"

"I knew I heard someone familiar."

An elderly man approached us. He was hunched over walking with a cane, but it looked like he still could walk a hundred miles if he could. "Uncle Tariqq." 

"My ears weren't deceived. It's been a long time since I've seen you." he said giving Zeina a hug. Just then Yuuto and Zenji came along. 

"Grand Lotus. It's a pleasure." Yuuto said bowing. 

"Likewise." Tariqq replied bowing, "Is that little Zenji?"

"I'm sorry?" Zenji asked confused.

"Zenji this is your great uncle, Tariqq." Zeina introduced, "He was the governor of Kyoshi Island  and was apart of the Republic City council."

I gasped turning to him. He was the same person who was in my dream. 

"He might not remember me. But I remember him when he was nestled in Zeina's arms. And who is this young lady?"

"This is my daughter, Zetsuna. But she goes by the name Yukari." Zeina introduced.

Tariqq walks up in my face and inspects me, "You do have some of Amaya's facial features. Except she has green and blue eyes, while you have green and amber. Anyway, it's nice to meet you." he pats me on the shoulder and walks off along with Sonra. I turned to Yuuto and Zeina confused at what happen. Zeina chuckled to herself, while Yuuto shrugs giving a nervous smile. Korra and Mako approaches me, "Who was that?" 

"My great uncle. Long story." I replied wearily.

Just then Tonraq and his wife came by. Korra runs towards them and gives them a hug. "It's nice to see you again Yukari." 

"It's nice to see you too Chief Tonraq." I replied bowing.

"You remember Mako." Korra says to her father.

Mako offers him a hand, "Sir."

Tonraq crosses his arms, "I hope you're not getting my daughter into anymore trouble up in the city."

"Uh ... No ... uh ... I ... no." Mako stammers.

"Knock it off, Dad." Korra said.

Tonraq laughs and shakes Mako's hand. Yuuto then appears and punches Tonraq's arm. Tonraq turns and his face lit up with surprise, "Yuuto!" They embrace each other in a bear hug, "It's been so long."

"I see that you've met my daughter."

"Yukari is your daughter?" Tonraq asked surprise. Yuuto nodded in reply.

" Wow! Look at all these people that came out to greet us." Bolin said

"Uh, no. They came to greet them."

She points to a large and ornate Water Tribe ship that approaches across the water. It looked like a northern water tribe ship a royal ship at that. The crowds cheer running towards the other side of the pier.

 "The great chief of the Northern Water Tribe comes to grace us with his  presence. Hooray." Tonraq said sarcastically.

Senna, his wife puts an assuring hand on her husbands arm, as well as Korra, "Just relax  Tonraq, he'll be gone soon enough."

I watched as two sets of twins exited the boat. Oh monkey feathers, not these two. I thought to myself.

"Whoa! Who are the lovely ladies?" Bolin asked putting on a flirtatious smile. 

Korra and I watched. Korra was amused while I was alarmed, "That's Eska  and Desna, the chief's children. Desna is a guy." she answered.

Bolin's eyes widen in surprise and chuckles, " Oh, no, sure, I knew that."  he looks to the side, "Uhhh ...  and which one is Desna?" Zenji rolls his eyes.

Just then, Unalaq and his group approaches our group, " Good to see you again, Avatar Korra. And it's a pleasure to finally meet you Sansar Yukari." he bowed.

Korra and I bowed respectfully, "Good to see you too." Korra replied.

"This is my adviser and head shaman. Tarnok." he introduced a tall figured man beside him. He wore dark robes and very unique face painting on his face. 

He bowed respectfully. "Charmed." he said in a low and monotone voice.

There was something off about him. But I couldn't put my finger on it. Tonraq approached the chief, "Tonraq." Unalaq said coldly.

"Brother." Tonraq replied in the same manner. 

The tension was in the air. I knew that he had a brother, but I didn't know that they had history with each other.
