Only the Avatar master of all four elements can bring balance, however, something unprecedented occurred, resulting in two Avatars existing at the same time. Wan and Korra. Wan, however, lost his memory and must relearn what it means to be the Avatar at this time and find who he is.

Lost in your World

Book I: Air

Chapter I: Welcome to Republic city

Wan follows the air bender master though a seemingly endless corridor. People dressed in yellow and orange robes pass by with their own lives to attend to. Wan seems like a young child, curious about everything around him. The door slides open to reveal a modest bedroom set with a bed, table, mirror, and window. "This is where you'll be staying," Tenzin explains, Wan stares blankly for a moment then turns back around to face the taller man. "Thank you, Tenzin," he says gratefully. Tenzin nods. "If there's anything you need, I'll be here." With that, he slides the door closed and lets Wan be to himself.

Tenzin panics as he paces into his office; he has to tell Korra eventually about Wan and he doesn't know how the headstrong Avatar will react. Luckily for him, Korra is in the Southern Water tribe. The man rubs his temples, his head is aching. He is lost in his thoughts until the ringing whacks him back to reality. He picks up the phone, his eyes widening in pure fear. Avatar Korra is in Republic city and arrested.

Tenzin hangs up, now he is concerned. Keeping this from the public is his first choice but now that Korra has revealed herself to the world, the rumor of the Dual avatars will thrive. Tenzin doesn't want to think of the consequences of two avatars existing at the same time. Really he has no choice at this point, it is truly inevitable. Wan and Korra must meet each other.

A few hours later, Wan is watching the tides on Yue bay. He exhales as his body relaxes, a tiny bit of peace in the chaos. That is until he hears a voice within earshot, "What do you mean there's a Second Avatar!?"

Wan tenses up from the female voice, he quickly turns his head. "Korra, calm down, he doesn't remember who he is-" Wan stands up as Korra hikes towards him until they are centimeters apart. "So you're him." Her voice drips with venom while her cyan gaze rips through him.

"Nice to meet you?" Wan's mouth goes dry; he has to admit that the younger girl is terrifying- she looks as if she is about to kill him. "Look, I have no idea what's going on!" He protests, raising his hands protectively in front of him.

"So you're not taking my place?" Korra's eyebrows arch curiously, Wan sighs, his shoulders relaxed, a bit annoyed at the whole situation. He honestly hadn't even known what an Avatar was, but he had looked into it and he apparently fit the category and so did Korra.

"I don't know... I lost my memory I guess, honestly, I don't know who I am. I just ended up here." Wan glances back to the bay. "Sorry if I caused any confusion, I'm not here to replace you. I just found out I'm the avatar for some reason and somehow I could help you."

Korra's aura completely changes as if something about what Wan had said has made her trust him. Her hand lands on his shoulder, "I don't know why you can bend the four elements or anything about your memory loss, but I will try to help you find out who you were," she promises.

"Thank you. In return, I will help you bring balance...I think that's what an avatar does?" Korra chuckles. Wan breathes a breath of relief; he is on her good side and he intends to keep it as such. "No, you're right, I'm kinda new at Avatar stuff too, well, I can't bend air nor enter the avatar state, every time I try." Korra blows an annoyed raspberry. "Nothing but you and Tenzin can help me!" Wan glances to his right side as he scratches his hair. "About that, I don't really know how I did the whole Avatar state thing, it was... an accident?" Wan's voice goes up a pitch as he looks at Korra with a nervous grin.

"Guess you're in the same boat as me bud, we'll figure it out sooner or later. So what's your name?"

"My name is Wan."

"Korra." With that, they shake hands.

A man opens a door, then closes it softly behind him. The man is lean; fit behind his back are two Kai sticks, he glances at his leader, who simply stares at a map of Republic City, hands behind his back, lost within his thoughts. Though the man doesn't want to intrude on the leader, it is necessary. "Amon, there seems to be a rumor going around," he begins hesitantly.

"The Dual Avatars, I heard." He simply states, his voice slightly annoyed. Then he waves it off, "It is nothing more than a distraction, Lieutenant."

"Sir, the radio."

Amon turns on the radio, absorbing every piece of information, "We're putting the rumors to rest," says Korra's voice from the radio "There are two Avatars, the other's name is Wan." Amon's eyes widen under the mask, but he still keeps himself composed. Reporters begin asking questions right off the bat, eager to get the two avatars' answers. "Avatar Wan, why were you brought here?" A female reporter yells. Another joins in, and they all begin to scream for attention.

"I don't know why I was sent here, I honestly don't even remember who I am." Wan answers on the mic, as another hand rises, waving frantically to get noticed. "Does this mean you and Avatar Korra have moved to Republic City?"

"Avatar Korra, Were you trying to send a message to the Triads yesterday? Another asks.

"Avatar Wan, what do you mean you don't remember?"

"Look, I don't remember anything about my past. I may not remember but I do know that in my heart I could help this city and help my fellow Avatar," Wan announces confidently. This, in turn, influences Korra to say, "Yes, we are definitely here to stay, but honestly we don't exactly have a plan yet, see, I and Wan are going through training. But, I do know that Avatar Aang meant for this city to be the center of peace and balance in the world, and I believe we can make his dream a reality." Korra finishes.

"We're so happy to be here. Thank you, Republic City!-" The radio is shut off by the Lieutenant as he looks at his leader.

"Amon, how would you like to handle this?" He asks, already anticipating his orders, "So, the rumors were true." He turns his head towards his second in command. "It looks like we'll have to accelerate our plans."
