MAKOs POV

After Bolin and I went to look for Kai, we did find him, but we had to chase him down. We chased him all the way to the train station, but tricked us into going inside the train that left for the lower ring. We arrived at the lower king, to find out that we couldn't go back to the upper ring without passports. We tried to give them our identification but realized our wallets were gone and were probably stolen by no one other than Kai. Since we were stuck in the lower ring, we had to spend the night in the alley. The next day, we went around to search for food to eat. After a small misunderstanding, we actually found our whole family, including our grandma. I was so happy to find the family that dad had been talking to me about before. Bolin and I had a small private talk with grandma about our parents. Grandma missed them a lot, so I gave her my red scarf. She was really happy when I gave it to her. We had a large dinner prepared for us, and we were told that the Earth Queen was secretly hiding the air benders somewhere so they can be used as her army. We needed to get to the upper ring to tell Korra and the others immediately. Tu, their cousin, offered to help them the next morning by trying to find them some passports. Right now, It was a bit late at night, right after the dinner. Everyone had gone to bed but I couldn't sleep. I was in the living room, looking out the window, overlooking the small town of the lower ring.

"You couldn't sleep, Mako?" a voice behind me asked, I turned around and saw grandma.

"No, I just need to get back to the upper ring quick," I smiled, grandma nodded slowly as she took a seat next to me.

"So, who's the girl?" Grandma asked, I raised my eyebrow in confusion.

"The girl that's on your mind, dear child, and the one Bolin keeps talking to me about," Grandma chuckled and smiled at me, "It's obvious that you want to go back to see her, so tell me about her,"

I sighed and looked out the window, seeing the starry night above, while saying, "She's a princess, a firebender too, a really skilled one. She's been my side since the very start. I would do anything just to see her happy,"

I smiled as I talked about Lei to my grandma, I continued, "She wouldn't like someone like me. She's a princess, and I'm just a regular person,"

"Mako, you have to know that love has no bounds. She may be a princess, but if you love her then that shouldn't stop the both of you," Grandma said softly. She took my hand and looked at me.

"Promise me, that you follow what your heart tells you, even if you're scared, listen to your heart," Grandma continued softly, as she squeezed my hand. I smiled and nodded.

She got up from her seat, and started heading to her room, while saying, "Go get some sleep, you need energy if you wanna see her tomorrow,"

I smiled widely before going back to my own bed to get a good night's rest before heading back to the upper ring.

LEIs POV

It was the next day, Korra went to the Earth Queen last night and told us about how she shouted at her. She was really angry, and when Korra was angry there was really no stopping her. So, I suggested for her to blow off some steam by throwing a few punches and kicks. We were at the garden right next to the small villa, Asami was holding punching pads, while Korra was throwing punches and kicks with all the anger in her system. I stood behind Korra, crossing my arms watching her constantly punch over and over.
