The Myth of Y/N (Korra X Reader)

LIBERATION

Y/N'S POV

I trace back and forth in silent anger in the garden behind the Swanky, trying in desperation to resist the temptation of marching to the palace and unleashing my rage.

FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

In just a short amount of time, so much went wrong.

First, before even Korra got back from the Earth Queen, we realised that Kai was missing. The little thief ran off to do spirits know what. Mako and Bolin went off to find him and they haven't come back yet, much to the worry of all of us.

Then, if that wasn't enough, Korra returned and told us that she has to something for the Earth Queen before she even considers helping us. She said it was something about collecting tax money from the South and bring it to the highness. Basically, being a poster girl for her like some little servant. Despite her dismay, she and Asami went to collect it.

However, when Korra finally obtained the money and brought it to her, the Earth Queen has the absolute nerve to tell her that our report of airbenders in Ba Sing Se was incorrect and that there were none of them present. Bullshit! I wasn't even there, and I can already tell that she's hiding something. Then, when my best friend gives her a piece of her mind for giving her nothing after helping her, she demanded for her to leave!

FUCK!

Korra isn't happy about this either, obviously. Actually, she's fuming just like I am.

As I pace around the area, I notice Korra sparring with Asami presumably to blow off some steam. They've seen to gotten much closer. The thought makes me smile.

That slight trace of happiness is quickly diminished by my anger once more at the situation. At the Queen. DAMMIT!

I march toward the pair, both women lost in their own world. "You guys all right?"

Korra turns me to me, eyes blazing with a fiery rage. "No! The Earth Queen is nothing but a no-good liar! I know it with her stupid little queenly smirk! I should have known she was using me!"

"Don't blame yourself." Asami assures her gently. "There's nothing you could have done."

I let out a deep, frustrated breathe. "Agreed. Don't give the bitch another victory. We just have to wait for Mako and Bolin to retur-"

Before I can finish my sentence, I hear the all-too familiar chitter of our friendly fire ferret, Pabu. Then, immediately afterwards, we see the two brothers rushing towards us in a state of panic.

Speak of the devil.

"You guys all right?" I ask them with concern.

The two brothers, Bolin especially, are catching their breathe. The earthbender tries to give out a simple explanation. "We chased Kai. Train. Slipped away. Lower Ring. Slept in trash pile. Met our family. Grandma tears. Mako scarf. Earth Queen. Lying."

The last three words catch my attention.

Earth Queen lying?!

Asami turns to Mako. "Can you interpret that?"

"The Earth Queen's been secretly taking away airbenders and forcing them into her army." The firebender elaborates with utmost seriousness.

WHAT?!

She's been forcing airbenders to be her slaves?! Like they're not human?!

My fists clench tightly, teeth grating.

First Tarrlok, then Unalaq, now this?!

Nothing has changed! Why are these people so fucking vile?!

"She was lying. I knew it!" Korra angrily responds. "I swear, the next time I see her-"
