The cycle of the Avatar, as it always did and always will, began anew.

For Amon, the years waiting for his reunion were long. Tedious, even, as he was aware that Korra had moved on. She found love, she had children, and she grew older. She changed, but was ultimately the same. Compassionate and strong, Korra never ceased to be the Avatar.

Amon could feel her last breath, and he inhaled as she exhaled. He stood in the seam, facing west, the gateway between life and death, and a smile spread across on his lips. The spirits had granted him this privilege, to not only greet her on the other side, but to leave with her as well.

Leave with her, meaning to be reborn with her. He had done little to deserve happiness in his next life… or perhaps the reward was hers. Several past lives of suffering and grief, the Avatar deserved another chance at pure, unadulterated happiness.

With a flash of light and a wave of music, Korra suddenly stood before him. No different from the way she did the last time he'd been in her presence. A hush brushed over them, her expression unbelieving.

"Amon," she breathed, frozen. Amon made his way toward her, not hesitating to place a hard, euphoric kiss on her lips. He cupped her cheeks, fingers twirling into her loose brown hair that dangled down her shoulders. She squeaked with surprise, but soon melted into him and wrapped her hands around his neck, pulling him down further.

After a few moments of burning, freezing, and electrifying contact, Amon pulled away. "It's time," he told her in a low, dripping voice.

Without asking, she knew.

Amon grasped her hand, their fingers lacing together and they faced the east horizon. Here, passing through the vein separating two worlds, they rose to a new day, a new life. In the short time between their rebirth and their arrival, they saw each other. Hundreds of lives, hundreds of Avatars—once they churned in an eternal dance. Somehow, they lost their way, their destinies diverted.

No longer, though. Entangled again, were the Avatar and her lover.

And together, in the next life, they would be.
