Jinora's Point Of View

It has been three years since the fight with Zaheer. Korra has still not recovered and Kuvira is trying to pull the Earth Kingdom back to it's original state. All of us airbenders have spread out across the world to ensure that there is peace, and to help wherever help is needed. Korra sometimes writes to me, but she mainly writes to Asami. She told me not to tell Mako or Bolin, because she just doesn't know how to talk to them. She explains to me how she is haunted by her past self and she needs to get away and fight it. I read her letters and I worry, this Korra is not the same Korra I knew three years ago. Sometimes I wonder if that will ever happen to me, if I would lose myself just because of one fight or experience.

A week ago my best friend/boyfriend Kai left with Opal to help a village south of Ba Sing Se. I didn't understand why my father didn't allow me to go, probably because he still doesn't trust him. It has been very hard for me since Kai left, he is my only friend around my age that I actually enjoy talking to. Other male airbenders my age hit on me but I decline and make them train ten times harder. I wish Kai was here so he could show them that I am taken. I know, I know, an air bender should never in force violence, but they annoy me so much. If Kai was gone I would usually spend my time with Opal, but she is with Kai. My father must really hate me for sending my two best friends away. So what do I do, I am forced to hang around with Ikki and her annoying friends. I know just hide myself in my room and read.

I quietly sit in my room reading about an old legend about this swamp that contained mystical powers where you could see the lives of those you have lost or those you seek. Lin told me stories of how her mother ran away into that swamp to escape from her and Su. Lin tells me stories of how her mother hated her, I couldn't think what it felt like for her, but I don't think it is true. In my opinion a parent could never hate their child. The sun began to set and I headed down to dinner. As soon as I got there my two younger brothers Rohan and Meelo were running around crazy as usual. I sat down next to aunt Kya and began to quietly eat my white rice with vegetable curry sauce.. Every time I would eat this it would remind of Kai. Even though he is a quite messy eater. I slowly began to stop eating. Aunt Kya noticed.

"Jinora is everything alright?" She asked with concern.

"Yes aunt Kya. It is just that this was always Kai's favorite." I said staring at my bowl.

"Don't worry Jinora it is just three more days before he comes backs for Korra returning party. " Aunt Kya comforted me.

"Yeah I guess." I whispered.

I continued eating until I was finished. I got up and I bowed at my family before I got up and took my bowl away. I came back to the dinner table where everyone was still eating.

"Please excuse me, but I am going to go talk with Kai." I said before leaving.

I could hear my father's breath of concern and my aunt trying to talk to him as I walked away. I opened my sliding door and looked my self in the mirror. My blue airbending tattoos were shown. My brown hair had grown back into a longer bob with a bun on the side. My brown eyes stared at me. I took a deep breath and I sat down into my meditating position. I closed my eyes and before I knew it I could feel Kai's spirit. From the very beginning I knew we had a strong connection. I still remember the first time I was able to connect to him through spiritual connection. Sadly it wasn't a very good memory.

I was now a blue spirit floating in the grass field where Kai and his bison Lefty were. I scanned my eyes to see if I could find Kai. Not a few feet away he was there laying there on the grass with his shaggy brown hair and bright green eyes. I noticed how different he looked from the three years ago when I first met him, especially in that Squirrel suit Asami made for all of us airbenders. I slowly walked up to him, but before he could see me I heard him say something to himself.

"I miss her." He said while looking up at the stars.

Surely he wasn't talking about another girl, or his mother. I laughed at that thought in my mind.

"Miss who?" I asked as I walked up to him and lay next to him on the soft grass.

He laughed a bit before he said "You!"

I giggled.

I looked up at the stars he had been staring at. Then I looked at his tanned face.

"Kai." I whispered.

"Yes?" He asked as he looked at me with those bright green eyes of his.

"I can't wait to see you. I feel so alone and bored back here by myself. I have to talk to be with my sister, and guys keep on asking me out. I wish you were here." I admitted.

"Jinora. All thought these spirit conversations are great but I miss the real you. All Opal can ever talk about is how Bolin "Left her for Kuvira's army." As for your problem with your sister just tell her to go away, and I will teach those guys a lesson when I get back." He said while cupping my face with his hand.

"I know how you feel." I breathed.

I lay there for awhile until I decide it's time for me to go.

"Kai, I have to go. Be safe out there. See you in three days!" I said.

"Three days are so long." He groaned.

"I know. I have to go now, I will try to talk to tomorrow."

He nodded and I vanished returning to my physical form. I was back in my room and I crashed on my bed and began to read.

"Are you done talking with your boyfriend?" I heard someone giggle.

"IKKI!"I yelled at my eleven year old sister.

"Man she can be so annoying." I groaned at myself and locked my door so I could read in peace.

Kai's Point Of View

She just left me. I am now alone and I stare up at the clear starry skies. The wind blows at me face and I just remember her. How the wind blows reminds me of her, the way her hair dances in the wind or how she is so light as she bends.

She was the one who saved me, the one who brought out the true me. The person who is willing to do anything to save a person or bring things to the people who don't have it. I am no longer the thief anymore. I am Kai and I am an Airbender, and it is thanks to her.

"Three more days." I whisper to my self, as I know fall off into a deep slumber.
