Love burns brighter...

Chapter 15

PS : I am sorry for such a long delay on writing this short end piece for the long story I wrote. I am so thankful to each and every one of you for being with me. So with this episode I will complete "Love burns brighter" as a whole.... I could continue writing further because there are so many loose ends which could continue for a longer story. But it all depends on your comments whether I will continue further or not. Thank you so much and I hope you will like the ending. You may feel the ending is rather abrupt and rushed but that's how it's supposed to be...

As usual this may contain errors.

Thank you everybody...

A heavy rain of blood and water began to fall all over the republic city and it went on for days. The sky was permanently covered with a strange gloom and drizzling weather. Citizens of the republic city who were taking refuge in the shelter had slowly begun to return to their daily lives. Varrick & Zhu Li had released their captured footage and photographs to mass public through newspapers and other media. Finally it was clear that if it weren't for avatar Korra, there wouldn't be a republic city anymore. Soon after the republic city became aware with her actions with solid evidence it had begun to reach the other parts of the world. Finally the world had come to realize the importance of having the Avatar. She was the only person who could simply stand against the destruction of the celestial object.

She did what she is supposed to do. Since that fateful day no one had heard about Korra. Asami, Jinora and Zaheer left with the avatar and that was it.

Republic city authorities had launched a special team of scientists along with Varrick's supervision towards the impact zone for further investigation. No one knows what really crashed in to republic city waters that day. Korra tried to stop it and she failed.... but she managed to stop its devastative power from reaching the city.

A week later...

Air Temple Island...
Morning

The heavy cold wind kept blowing across the air temple island. Even though it is morning, gloom makes it feels as if a cold late evening. Tenzin walked in to the front porch with a warm cup of tea held in his hands. He felt terribly lonely and bored to live in the house without his family. He looked up at the gloomy sky as it began to drizzle again. Suddenly he noticed Lin walking towards his residence. A faint smile was bought to his face by her presence. She walked up to the front porch and Tenzin starred at her in a strange manner. She had her hair tied back to a little pig tail and wore a black riding jacket over a dark brown sleeveless skinny and a pair of dark blue jeans.

"What...? You're freaking me out by doing that..." she said with a smiley face as she stepped on to the front porch.

"It is surprising to see you, not in the police uniform at this time of the day" said Tenzin with one of his brows raised in a peculiar way.

"I just thought of taking few days off... I guess it is time I let go off being a workaholic... I am getting too old for this..." said Lin as she approached him.

"I just can't believe it... is this really you who's talking...?" said Tenzin and smirked.

Lin took the cup of tea from Tenzin without his permission and sipped it.

"I thought you might need a helping hand with the cleaning... but I see that you have already got it covered, cleaning up the place by yourself..." said Lin while leaning against the railing with the cup of tea.

"Some of the air bender disciples had return back to the temple sooner than I thought... They helped to clean things up... but thank you for the thought Lin... I appreciate that..." said Tenzin coming over to her and resting his hands against the railing.
