legend of korra fanfic. Chp 1

Sylvia's POV.

"IS THAT IT" I practically yell at my computer screen as the credits roll for season four finale ended. I glare at it in annoyance, I heard my roommate pipe up from somewhere "ARE TOU YELLING AT INANIMATE OBJECTS AGAIN!" she yells out amusedly.

I got up and skulked to the kitchen to see her rummaging in the snack cupboard on the wall. "I mean come on! You watch it before me. How come kuvia only gets one minute of backstory, I mean even Amon and Tarrlok got a longer backstory that went all the way to their father Yakone. And don't get me started on Korra and Asami were they going to kiss, not kiss and will we find out what's kuvias fate is. It's just left so many questions unanswered!" I vent out as my roommate Ruby stares at me, hand frozen halfway grabbing a pack of biscuits.

"Ok!" Was all she said snapping out her paused moment and opens her biscuits and plonked her herself down on the kitchen chair. I stared at her in disbelief, " How could you have kept this from me!" I nearly wail out at her "You saw this before me! How are you all right about this?" I whine out taking a seat next to her.

"Simple my dear, I'm not obsessed like you. And eventually there will be a comic to cover any questions. Ok!" In a nonchalant tone before picking up her phone from the side. And I just huff before taking an offered biscuit.

"Hey, Ben and Lewis are going out for drinks, want to come?" She said looking at her phone with a cheese grin.

"Nah, you two have fun and eventually Ben will realise he's a third wheel and will disappear. I know you have a crush on him for a while. So, say I was sick or something. Beside I'm going to re-watch the whole of legend of korra again!" I finished with a smugly grin at her mildly blushing face.

She managed a few stuttered words out and stormed out in dismay, with me laughing as she left. I calmed down after a few moments and made my way to the big TV. With Ruby out I can claim the TV for the rest of the day.

Usually when Ruby's around she's always on it with her friends and I was stuck with tiddley small laptop.

I got my fist episode ready paused on screen. I grabbed my popcorn from underneath my bed which was away from unwanted greedy fingers known as Ruby who just love to eat.

To my Jealously she could eat and eat and would not put any weight on, so when we first moved in all my snack disappeared, so I learned to hide them in a range of places. But sometimes I think she's like a bloodhound and had found most of my stashes. But these ones seemed safe. For now.

Plopping myself on the sofa (nearly spilling my precious popcorn everywhere) I grabbed my remote and pressed the play button. But the screen had frozen, I played around with the remote, my happy mood dampened to annoyance. I groaned in frustration as I dumped the useless remote on to the floor and got up from my comfy place on the sofa. Looking closer I notice a slight haze on the edge of the screen, against my better judgment I stupidly poked it. As soon as I did there was a flash and everything went dark.

When I next opened my eyes, everything was fuzzy before it refocused. It was very light which made my eyes hurt, a swam of colours were all around me which looked very familiar. And I notice a figure siting on the ground sitting in a lotus style-meditating by the looks of it. His...robes were yellow and reddish orange and a signature blue arrow on his forehead and hands.

"Aang" I whispered out in surprise, my eyes widen in shock. His eyes snap open and was looking at me, his face broke in to smile as he saw me.

"Hello Sylvia. It's good to finally meet you. We have a lot to discuss." He said softly getting up from his position off the floor.

"W-we do?" I stuttered, snapping out of shock and trying not to freak out as I got up off the floor brushing myself off and straightening my shirt.

"Where are we?" I asked after a few moments was we walked, "Why don't you tell me" he said softly look in my direction. I have a proper look round, taking in all the details.

"The spirit world?" I answered nervously. "That is correct Sylvia. As you can tell my time as the Avatar is over and korra is the new Avatar. However there are some challenges she is going to have to face. And she is going to need your help."

"Help? How can I help? I'm not a bender and I certainly don't know how to fight. What good can I be?" I said with confusion looking up to him.

"Knowledge is power and we have some worries that need to away, and you are the best option. I had a spoken with a few spirits that inform me of a future, but we don't know the whole story. You do and can help guide korra after Harmonic convergent after Ravva is destroyed and reborn, the connection is lost so we decided with Ravvas permission and another we put a bit of her spirit in to you, so you can restore her past lives when the time is right."

It took me a moment to divulge this new information. Me go to the LOK universe. I know I've read fanfics about it. But I didn't think it was true, let alone happen to me.

"Why can't I change that completely? Harmonic convergent I mean stop Ravva from dying in the first place" I ask quietly, his eyes sharpen as he looked at me. Our pace came to a stop and he looked directly in to my eyes. "SOMEthing you can't change." He told me sternly, "like for example Amon taking her bending!" I clarified, he nodded. "It's the only way she will unlocked her Air bending and connecting to me!" He finished.

"When some of the bad things happen to korra... it changes her. From episode one to the last. They are very different people. Are you saying that all those bad things NEED to happen? Like korra being captured by the red lotus. Is that NESSASERY!" I spoke out anger flashing in my eyes.

He looked down his eye gained an old sad look "yes" he whispered brushing his hand over his head as he and me sat down on a branch.

Wait branch... no... it's a root.

I looked closer and realised that we were standing behind the tree of time. And we were sitting there in silence I widdled with my thumbs not sure what to say. He has a point. Can't change to many things though. Would knock the pilot WAY off.

I let a small smile grace my face, "Aang" I muttered chewing my lip slightly, "Hum" was his reply snapping him out of his thoughts.

" I'm not sure if you know this or not. But after Harmonic convergent it sets off a chain reaction in the atmosphere that gives a few non-benders air bending abilities" I said quietly.

He shot to his feet "REALLY!" He swivels to me his eyes widen in surprise with a hint of joy.

"Y-yer. Even Bumi" I stuttered. To my surprise he hugged me, after a moment he let me go. I saw him wipe a tear away from his eyes.

"This is the best news I've heard in a long time! Thank you!"

I chucked a bit "Well that is what to come... soooo" I said slightly awkward rubbing the back of my neck embarrassed looking away.

He chuckled at my embarrassment "I believe we may have gone off topic". We started to walk away from the tree.

"Yes" I agreed quickly. "So what point in Korras time line are you dropping me off at." I asked curiously, peeking up at him.

"We decided to put you 20 months before Korra arrival at Republic City." I open my mouth to interrupt but he continued, " FOR a few reasons. I know you have more questions, but you need the time to learn how this world works and to master your new bending abilities. And yes... you will be able to bend!"

I couldn't help but feel excited now. This is really happing. Then a thought crossed my mind. "Out all the people. You chose me. I mean there are more people obsessed with world then me. I'm curious why I was singled out?"

He was in deep thought for a few seconds "We did a check on other people but the results were not what we wanted. We need someone who can work in the light and shadows. The other options would have boasted their power. Or too conspicuous... So you are the best option we have..." I could tell there was another reason but I'll press him on that another time.

"So in short terms. My only purpose in this world is mainly to restore the avatar connection to korra and to do so from the shadows." I concluded in a sceptic tone with my right eyebrow raised looking to Aang.

"And I'm guessing that you want me to meet korra in book one because if I try to restore the connection after book two without knowing her it may look like I'm attacking her and she will react and so will the white lotus. Which will lead in to revealing where I come from and that will be bad!" I finished running my temple trying to rid of a developing headache.

"So what element can I bend?" I sighed, tiredly looking up to him.

"Well...with Ravvas spirit you are capable to bend all four but not able to go to the Avatar state, also fire and water will be your weakest but fire mostly though. I can teach you energy bending but only after you know the basics of the others. Despite having a fraction of Ravva another spirit has voluntarily stepped up and would allow to be bonded to you and would allow to shadow bend-"

"Wait SHADOW BENING is a thing I thought that was made up" I blurted out before I could stop myself.

He let out a small chuckle at my bemuse face before continuing

"Yes, Sylvia this is a thing but you must never tell anyone about this ability because there has only been one shadow bender and he went to assassinate several people of the state, several centuries ago which causes a few wars and is considered dark but that is misunderstood. It took all 4 nations best soldiers and the Avatar to working together to stop him. We don't know how he got that bending style. But we are in trusting it to you. I hope we chose well!" I gulped "D-don't worry I won't disappoint you!" I exclaimed quickly at his serious face.

"Can I learn Blood bending?" I ask. He looked sharply to me but I continued, " I know what it can do? And I know what it is capable. I know what Yakone did, which was monstrous, but I believe there is a good side to!" He raised an eyebrow at me.

"For example, if a person has been stabbed and are bleeding out I could use it to stop the bleeding keep the heart beating or to restart the heart completely. And if someone is thrashing or too violent it could be away to stop them from hurting themselves or anyone else. If I were allowed I promise you I will NEVER abuse that power. If I were to use it in battle it would be a last resort!" I said solemnly. He looked at me for several minutes to think though on what I said.

"You are right. I should remember that all the elements have a dark side. I never really thought about blood bending being use for healing aid." He answered, "Well... I guess it was because you have always been on the receiving end of twisted small-minded people!" I said bluntly.

"Like for example, lightning bending can be used to shock a heart to start. Or air bending to suffocate. And we all know earth to chest can crush. Like you said there is good and bad uses. People don't realise the power they have and what it could accomplish if they were put their mind to it and think outside the box." I finished feeling slightly out of breath. "Sorry I didn't mean to give a lecture." I said apologetically to Aang who seemed to be listening to me witter away.

"It's fine. It's good to see some with a different outlook on bending."

He replied softly with a hint of amusement with a twinkle in his eye.

As we continued our walk I notice a huge rock which looked to have a hole in which looked to be forced open as it was cracked all around it. "What's that?" I ask pointing to the thing in the wall.

"That is a window in to the physical world." I shot him a look as he said that. "T-that can't be right. There are only two portals in to the spirit world and there BOTH sealed"

"This is the result of that shadow bender who tried to escape to spirit world physical by trying to shadow bend a new doorway to here. The results were that he cracked the hole, but it killed him doing so. But we buried his hide out deep underground, underneath the ocean. Like the library which now resides here in the spirit world. Unfortunately, this door seems to be a one-way system. Any spirit can leave but they cannot pass back this way. It's protecting its self, so nothing can wander in." He informed me as I just stared at it...

"What about the spirit who wander out?"

"They eventually find their way back. It just takes them a while to get their bearings." He told me and I let out a huff of relief.

I look at it for a moment before asking "Is this where I leave you now?"

He nodded and looked to his left, I followed his gaze. In the distance I saw this black blob with a smaller glowing blob approach us until I look closer it seemed to be a humanoid but with glowing white eye which was a contrast as it looked to be a shadow...a shadow ...with creepy white glowing eye, like the ones in Once upon a time TV show. And it seemed to be holding a glowing orb in its hand, Aang just smiled at it.

"This is Kage and he is going to be your companion on your journey. The orb in his hand is a fraction of Ravva." And with that he stepped to me and put his thumb on my forehead and the other over my heart. His eyes glow white and so do his tattoos. The feeling was thrilling, my heart racing. I could see in the corner of my eye the shadows had placed the orb just above Aangs thumb. The feeling soon changes to and electrifyingly painful. I let out an agonising scream at it seemed to melt in to my chest but when the orb had gone his hand was being pulled in -absorbed. A few for painful moments I tumbled forward on to the ground. My chest heaving, "...I feel sick..." I groaned out rubbing where the orb had gone through.

"Where'd he go!" I slurred slightly to Aang as I picked myself of the floor, leaning heavily onto my thighs.

"He is a part of you now. And so is Ravva. It will take a bit of time to get use to the flow if chi in your body so don't try bending for seven days to let it sync in." He instructed me. I nodded dumbly as I hobbled to the crack.

I raised my hand to touch it but before I could I stopped myself. I turned back to Aang "What about my world? Will I be able to go back?" I asked. Although I should have asked this question much sooner.

"Your world will be fine; you roommate will not remember you lived there unfortunately. And you cannot return." He answered honestly.

I looked down, no one would miss me back home, I was in Forster care most of my life so no family to miss me and Ruby was my only friend. At work was a simple 9-5 at the local supermarket so nothing fancy. I took a breath and I passed my hand in to the crack, Darkness washed over me. Again.
