Chapter 1: Reconnection

In the mystical Spirit World, Korra and Asami wander around the aquatic scene. "Wow this is indeed amazing." Asami said with amazement in her voice. Thanks to the new portal in Republic City, some of the citizen will be able to pass through into the Spirit World from the Physical World. Korra smiles a little. "Yeah isn't it? It feels more powerful in this world." She responds back.

Asami glances to Korra to find a frown on her face. "Korra, you okay?" She asks in concern. Korra comes out of her trance. "To be honest with, I'm not." She responds and they take a seat on the roots of a big tree. "Then why are you depressed? You manage to accomplish a lot of things. You defeated Amon and exposed him as a fraud in his group of Equalists. You put your mad uncle and the spirit Vaatu in peace, capture the members of the Red Lotus. But the most incredible accomplishment is you getting through Kuvira who clearly didn't know anything about balance. All she ever did was take control of the Earth Kingdom, which she prefers to call the Earth Empire. But you stopped her nonetheless. You should be proud of that." Asami reminds Korra about how much she has down for this world.

Korra holds her chin in the palm of her hands, as her elbows rest on her knees, "Yeah but I lost something in the process. Amon took away my bending, Vaatu and Unalaq ripped Raava out of me and severed my connection to my past lives. Zaheer and his members almost killed with the metallic poison while forcing me into the Avatar State. Kuvira almost did the same thing with the spirit vine weapon." Asami comforts her with a hand to the shoulder, "At least Avatar Aang restored your bending as well that ability he had before you. Jinora had Raava's light and put it into Vaatu's body. And the new Airbenders put a stop to Zaheer's flying ability. What more could you want?" Asami asks her.

Korra sighs, "I just want to find a way to restore my connection to my past lives. But I don't know how. Do you have any ideas?" She asks with a hopeless tone. Asami frowns in guilt, "I wish I had the answer but I want to be there for you to achieve this task." Korra sighs even. "So much for your advice. No offense." She comments bitterly.

Soon enough someone comes to them. "It appears you're having a problem, Korra." An elderly male voice gets their attention. Korra recognizes the voice. "Iroh." She smiles to the old man. "It's an honor to meet you, Iroh." Asami bows to him respectfully. Iroh repeats her posture. "Nice to meet you too, Asami Sato." Iroh gestures the girls to come with him. "So I hear you're a hard time connecting to your past lives." He assumes as they come to his little home in the meadow of a lovely meadow.

"There's a way you can reconnect to your past lives." Iroh cheers Korra up. "Really? How?" She asks in sheer joy. "Have you even been to any of the Avatar's homes?" Asami and Korra looked at each other. "No I never did. All I know is where Aang grew up in the Southern Air Temple. I bet the statue room is one step in the right direction." Kora explains so far for what she knows of Aang's home. "The Southern Air Temple shouldn't be the only place to go." Iroh agrees on her terms. "In order to restore the first cycle of the Avatars, you'd have to go to the last Waterbending Avatar before you." He suggested as he goes inside his home and pull out something in a scroll. "This here is where all the Avatars have been born. The towns where they were from would have temple of them with a piece of them." He unrolls the scroll to reveal a lot of dots to pinpoint where the Avatars were from. "You should take this with you to the Physical World." Iroh tells them with a smile. Korra carefully rolls the scroll. "Thank you, Iroh. We should get going." Asami nods her head and the girls left the Spirit World through the Spirit Portal in Republic City.

Republic City has changed so many times ever since it was founded. The newest change is the Spirit Portal. This spirit portal was created by the discharge of spiritual energy from Kuvira's spirit energy cannon, the Republic City spirit portal glows bright green and is situated in downtown Republic City, surrounded by a mass of spirit vines. Kuvira took advantage of the Spirit Energy from vines of the banyan grow tree in the swamp area. Her mecha tanks took so much of the vines that the connection from the vines spread to the city's spirit vines to capture any citizen they think is a threat. Unlike the other two gateways, the Republic City spirit portal leads to an aquatic meadow in the Spirit World covered with underwater flowers and surrounded by icebergs. And that's why when Korra and Asami passed through, they ended up in a majestic aquatic area.

From an Avatar's point of view the locations on where the Spirit Portals are position in the physical world are that different than in Spirit World. In the physical world, The Northern and Southern Portals are at their own poles of the world. However they're close together in the Yin Yang symbol dots with the Tree Of Time dead center. The one in the city is much different that the two original ones. In the Physical World, it's in the middle of the city. But when going to the other side, you end up in the aquatic meadow in the Spirit World covered with underwater flowers and surrounded by icebergs.

Korra and Asami come out of the spirit portal to see Mako and Bolin waiting for them. "So how was your spiritual trip?" Bolin asks in a gleeful tone. "It was nice where we went. You should go there some time." Asami said back to the younger Earthbender boy. "What do you have there Korra?" Mako asks as his points his finger to the scroll. Korra chuckle, "Well it turns out I'll have to explain to you what this scroll has on it." She said to the Firebender. "We should go to Air Temple Island. Let's go." She declares as they go to Asami's Sato mobile and drove to the harbor.

At Air Temple Island, Tenzin, Jinore Meelo, Ikki, Pema, and the infant Rohan are having their lunch. "I wonder what will happen today?" Ikki speaks rather quickly. Knowing her, she has a reputation to speak so fast that it'd be a bit irritating to understand her. Jinora sets her silverware down. "I sense Korra and her friends coming this way." She stands up and head outside to greet the upcoming visitors. Tenzin decides to join, "I wonder what Korra wants?" He murmurs to himself as he follows his oldest daughter.

The boat arrives at the Air Temple Island dock. Naga runs to her owner. "Naga, hey there girl." Korra happily pets her dog. Mako, Asami, and Bolin get off the boat as well. "Pabu go play with Naga." Bolin tells his fire ferret. Pabu jumps off Bolin's shoulder and onto Naga's head. "Welcome back, Korra." Tenzin greets her along with Jinora. "Hi there Tenzin." Korra greets back and hugs him. "What brings you here?" Jinora asks her this time. Korra smiles to the girl, "I was hoping you guys could help me out with something." She said to them sincerely. Tenzin smiles back, "And what is it that we can help you with?" He asks.

Before Korra could answer, Bolin takes over. "We want to go to the Southern Air Temple so Korra could reconnect with her past lives." Mako and Asami couldn't help but glare at the Earthbender. Tenzin, Jinora and Korra did as well. Bolin looks confused. "What did I do?" He asks the group. Tenzin sighs to calm himself. "Bolin, with all do in respect, you shouldn't answer the question that was asked by someone else." He advised him. Bolin now feels ashamed at himself and his previous action. "Sorry Master Tenzin." He apologizes to the Airbender. Tenzin nods as in a gesture to accept the Earthbender's apology. "So you want to the Southern Air Temple to reconnect to your past lives. Why so?" He asks Korra. Korra pulls out the scroll she received from Iroh. The group decides to go to the Temple to learn more what's on the scroll.

Once the group came into the building, the rest of Tenzin's family come into the room. "Hello Korra." Pema greets the female Avatar. "Hi there Pema. Hi there guys." Korra kneels down to the kids' level to hug them. "What you got there Korra." Meelo asks as he points to the scroll. Korra chuckles playfully. "Why don't you follows us to see what's on it." She suggests to him. Meelo smiles even more. "Let's go." He said and runs to one of the other rooms in the temple. The rest of the group couldn't help but laugh at his childish behavior. "That boy is something." Asami comments. She couldn't get over the first time she met him.

The group go into the room where a table is put in the center of the room. "So what's on the scroll, Korra?" Ikki asks her. Korra unrolls to reveals a map. "This here a map of the world. See these dots? These dots represent where my past lives were from." She explains the information. Tenzin couldn't help but to feel intrigued. "Well, the Air Temples are the easiest ones to go to since there's only 4 of them." He comments the area. Korra then frowns, "It's too bad that the Northern Air Temple was destroyed by the members of the Red Lotus. I didn't expect that they would go great lengths to get me." Tenzin nods in agreement. "Sadly a few Airbender Avatars were from there. I went through the temple thoroughly and yet I haven't seen any statues of the Avatars there." He thinks back when he had to train the new Airbenders since the Harmonic Convergence effect. "Well for starters, the Southern Air Temple is the first place to go because Aang was from there." Mako suggests. "I agree. I'll go back to the city and get us a Future Industry blimp." Asami said and left the temple.

"We might as well get going and wait till Asami comes back with the blimp." Bolin tells the group and goes outside. Tenzin suggests to let his older siblings, Waterbender sister Kya, and the new Airbender Bumi to tag along. They said yes and got their stuff. The rest of the group decides to get their belongings. Not long after everyone got what they needed, the blimp arrives. "Who's ready to go?" Asami asks the crowd. "We are." They all board the massive blimp, Bumi decided to drive the thing. The animals made themselves comfortable. Oogi, Tenzin's bison was able to fly with the blimp and take a rest one top of the blimp. Once everyone was settled, they head southern to the Southern Air Temple.
