Chelse leaves the girls alone for a while so they can talk. She knew how hard this separation was going to be for them. It was only for two weeks, but it wouldn't be free of challenges. Chelse was worried about Mizu too. The water essence would finally have a body of her own. There was no telling how Mizu would feel when she'd have to give it up.

The Fire Essence also hoped that Asami and Mizu had come to an understanding with one another about Korra.

Inside Asami's office

Korra trembled slightly after Chelse explained that the water essence would be assuming Asami's identity while she was gone. It was vitally important that they keep things business as usual so people wouldn't become suspicious. That set the Avatar on edge.

The Fire Essence also told her that the only way to communicate with Asami would be through Mizu. Even though they were separated their telepathic connection would still be intact. Korra and Chelse would have up to date information on what Asami was experiencing. Korra didn't like the thought of that either. What if her wife got hurt or captured in there; what could she do about it?

Korra sits across from Asami. They gaze into one another's eyes. She wanted to burn the image of them into her mind, engraving the light jade green warmth of Asami's gaze onto her heart. She had to. It was the only way she'd be able to make it.

This would be the most difficult battle of Korra's life. The last year and a half of fighting was nothing compared to this. She wouldn't be the one fighting this time. And even the thought of standing by and doing nothing sent chills up her spine. Suddenly all she could think of were her failures as an Avatar.

The water tribe woman thinks back on her life and how naïve she was when she found out she was the Avatar. She thought she was going to change the world for the better. She was so immature back then having no idea what the world was really like. Her first enemy, Amon, gave her a huge wake up call. She was terrified when she saw him take people's bending away. That was something she heard only Avatar Aang could do. People started following Amon when he claimed that he wanted equality for everyone. The only problem with that was that he was willing to destroy people in order to get it. Then he took her bending away. He took away her ability to be the Avatar. Korra thought her life was over after that, but somehow some way she continued living.

Unalaq showed up less than a month after she defeated Amon and fooled her into opening the spirit portals, betraying Tenzin, and freeing Vaatu. The world was thrown into darkness for 24 hours. She almost gave up then too.

Things just kept getting worse after Vaatu destroyed her connection to her past lives. Sure the Air Nation had returned, but she ended up opening the door for Zaheer and because of him Kuvira got the chance to take over. Yet again Korra remembers being practically powerless and unable to do anything but get her butt whooped.

And now the mastermind behind the most devastating defeat of Korra's life was about to take Asami away from her…again. She was supposed to be the Avatar, the one person who could bring balance to the world but so far all she's done was mess it up. She begins to think that maybe the Red Lotus was right, maybe the world didn't need an Avatar anymore.

Asami takes her partner's hand as she gazes into worried blue orbs. She feels a barrage of emotions coming from her wife but is unsure of what to say to soothe her. She knew Korra was just as scared as she was about what their future held. What if these were their last moments together?
