Earth. Fire. Air. Water.

After Avatar Korra saved the world from the forces of Unalaq and Vaatu, she told us that nothing will be the same again. She was right. For better and for worse.

This was when the rebirth of a nation begun. This was when I had to face one of my hardest challenges yet.

This...was the biggest change in my life.

BOOK THREE: CHANGE

Y/N'S POV

"Did I mention I'm so lucky those stupid vines haven't entered my home?"

I look up from a newspaper I'm reading to gaze at Kyuni who is looking out of her apartment's window. Ever since Harmonic Convergence two weeks ago there have been a lot, and I mean a LOT, of vines in the city, with several of them having entered many people's homes and other buildings. Spirits, I even heard that one of the vines has made themselves nice and cosy in President Raiko's office.

A lot of homes has been affected by the vines...but fortunately Kyuni's apartment hasn't been affected.

And, spirits, let me tell you how many times she has told me how lucky she is that she hasn't been affected. Seriously, she has told me so many times I've lost count.

I don't mind, though. Honestly, it's kind of cute.

...

Dammit.

"You may have mentioned it once or twice." I teasingly reply, a mischievous smile on my face.

The firebender turns back to me and gives me an eye roll. "Yeah, yeah I get it. I've said it a lot."

I chuckle at her reply and turn my attention back to the newspaper. "You know I'm only joking. I don't blame you for mentioning a lot. You are lucky."

If only President Raiko and Korra were as lucky as Kyuni.

Since the Unalaq crisis and the beginning of the new age, there has been a lot of controversy surrounding how Korra handled it and her desire for spirits and human's living together. There has also been a lot of criticism towards Raiko for how he is handling it as well. I can tell from the latest headline: "Raik-oh-no. Polls pans prez plans!" As I skim read the article I learn that the President's approval rates are at a devastating 15%.

And Korra's?

8%.

When I learned how so little people approved of Korra's decisions and actions I was furious. I get that this big decision is a lot, and I completely understand and sympathise with those who are frustrated that their homes are being ruined by the vines, but Korra just saved all of our asses and she gets this in return? Come on!

I fold the newspaper, place it on the round wooden table, and lie back on the comfy sofa. I sigh in frustration at the whole situation but I take a good time to look at Kyuni's apartment again. It's been a while since I've been here but it hasn't really changed. From the crimson red walls to the gentle and calm candles scattered around and the beautifully painted dragon canvases on the walls. It's a nice place, I got to admit.

Kyuni looks back to me in response to my frustrated sigh, her right eyebrow raised. "What's the matter?"

I glance back at to her and lean forward slightly. "Eh, nothing. Just a bit frustrated at how Korra's been treated by the public since Harmonic Convergence."

The firebender hums in agreement and proceeds to sit down on the sofa next to me. "If there's one thing us humans love to do it's complaining."

I snort at her comment. "You're telling me. Before I arrived here, Korra told me she was going to the centre of the vines with Tenzin and Jinora to see if she can find a way to get rid of them. Let's hope she has found a solution by now."
