Diclaimer: I don't own Legend of Korra

"Dad this is hard!"

"Come on. Keep trying!"

The blindfolded five year old slumped to the ground, creating a small cloud of dust to circle her. Sweat dripped down her head and mixed into her straight brown hair that resembled her mother. Her face shined with sweat as well. She was the shear image of her mother with only one exception: her beautiful green eyes. Just like her father.

"I'm never going to get this." Her head hung down in defeat as she threw the blindfold to the ground beside her.

Rohan approached the small child and slumped down next to her, shoulders touching. He nudged her, but the girl didn't stir. The chief of police nudged her harder, enough to send her to the other side and onto the ground. The young girl only came back and pushed her father's large muscular arms until he fell to the ground. Rohan laughed loudly and the little girl couldn't help but giggle adorably as well.

Calming down, Rohan looked towards his daughter. "Don't tell me you're giving up?"

The girl's head whipped around speedily until she was facing Rohan. "No way!"

"Sure sounded like it." Rohan smirked.

The young girl's eyebrows scrunched. "I'm not going to give up! It's just…too hard."

Rohan looked at his daughter sympathetically. This very moment brought him back to a wonderful memory. It started exactly like this. Him giving up and someone else pushing him to try harder. Literally and through example. Rohan knew exactly what to do.

"Come. Let's walk around a bit."

The girl followed obediently. The duo started to walk around the practice grounds, an all too familiar location.

"Why are we training here? Why don't we just practice at home with mommy?" the young voice questioned.

The chief of police just continued to look forward, steps heavy and strong. "This is a special place for me and I wanted to share it with you."

"What's so special about it dad?"

"This is where I completed my training." he spoke proudly.

The girl's eyes widened and suddenly she was taking in the entire area. The ground she walked on. The trees bordering the area. The large house that they had walked through to get here. It all suddenly amazed her. She knew her father was one of the best earthbenders she had ever seen, and maybe even the greatest in the entire city. He was chief of police for a reason, right? And to know that this is where he took his first steps to obtaining that reputation was absolutely incredible. Along with amazement, a large amount of pressure was suddenly put atop the young girl's shoulders. How can she live up to her father's abilities?

"So this is where Sifu taught you? Is this her house?" she curiously asked.

Rohan smiled. "Yes, this is her family's estate. And call her Master Lin. She isn't your sifu."

"Does that mean I should call you Sifu, dad?"

He looked down and right into her green eyes. "The greatest thing that I wish to be ever be called by you is dad."

"Alright dad." A wide smile appeared on her face.

Rohan continued. "I was taught here and so was Master Lin. Master Toph also lived here and taught Master Lin." He heard a large gasp escape his daughter's mouth.

The two were now coming up on a raised platform of earth. It was about as tall as the young girl. Amused, the girl climbed on top of the platform and stood, feeling a sense of power within the platform.

"What is this dad?"

He answered, "Master Toph stood where you are standing now. This is where my sifu figured out how to use seismic sense. She launched Master Toph straight into the sky."

The girl instantly looked to her feet and studied the very spot she was standing on. The pressure on her shoulders only strengthened. She gulped and leapt off of the structure. Next, they started walking to a second earth platform. This platform was taller than the girl by a whole head. Sudden movement to her left caused her to watch her father jump atop the raised earth. The way he stood looked as if he were strong, proud, and unafraid. More pressure collected on her.

"Can you guess who did this?" Rohan asked as he towered over her small form.

The girl placed one of her hands on the earth. She could feel a familiar energy and power, the same that has been protecting her every since she was born.

"You did this, didn't you dad?"

He nodded and jumped off of the platform. He grabbed his light weighted daughter and placed her to sit on the platform. Afterwards, he took a seat right next to her. He noticed the girl's shoulder's slump and her head to hang low, long brown bangs shielding her face.

"What's wrong, my little badgermole?"

Her green eyes met his. "Are you mad at me?"

Rohan was taken aback. "Why would I be mad at you?"

"Because I can't earthbend. You must be mad at me. Master Lin too. And Master Toph."

Rohan grabbed his daughter and placed her in his lap, their bodies face to face. They stared at each other, seeming as if they were talking through their minds. He was the first to speak aloud.

"You are an earthbender. I am absolutely positive."

Her eyes stared back with confusion. "How do you know dad?"

Suddenly, Rohands hand reached into his tunic. He found what he was looking for and took it out of his shirt. The girl's mouth dropped. Attached to a chain around his neck was a stunning piece of black jewelry. It was a dark ring that was made of some kind of rare material, she could already tell. She observed it, it's shape and color. Weirdly enough, she saw it more as a bracelet more than a necklace.

"What is it?" she asked, still hypnotized by the object.

Rohan pulled on the chain to allow it to escape his neck. He gently placed the object into his hand and presented it. "This is a bracelet. It means a lot to me."

The young girl reached out to touch the braclet but found that it started to vibrate wildly, causing her to pull her hand back in fear. Her eyes were panicked as she stared at the black bracelet. It continued to shiver within her father's hand.

"Did I break it? I'm sorry daddy!" Rohan quickly saw tears forming in the child's eyes.

He wiped them away with his free hand. "Oh no, baby girl. It's suppose to do that. That's what happens when it senses a powerful earthbender near."

The girl just stared at the object once again. Within her mind, she started to connect the dots with what had happened and what her father said. She looked up slowly.

"So that means…"

"Lin Beifong, you are one powerful earthbender."

Lin's face washed over with astonishment. A powerful earthbender? This tiny piece of jewelry just told her that she was a powerful earthbender. Ever since she was able to understand, her father told her of the heroic deeds that Toph and his sifu had accomplished. Toph had invented metalbending and founded the police force. His sifu had taught her father everything he knew and even sacrificed her own bending for her father and his family. And then there was her own father who was one of the greatest earthbenders that she had ever seen. Those were big names to live up to. However, after witnessing the bracelet vibrate and shiver to her presence, it gave her a new sense of hope. Hope that she had the ability to live up to the heroes she admired. Master Toph. Master Lin. Dad. Maybe she was capable of living up to their reputations.

Looking back to her father, she had a new fuel driving her. "Let's try again."

Rohan smiled at the determination in Lin's eyes. He turned his attention back to the object in his hand. He removed the chain entirely from the bracelet. Carefully, he took her daughter's right arm and slid the bracelet up until it fit perfectly on her bicep. Just like the woman she was named after, the color contrasted her skin perfectly.

"I want you to keep it. It looks better on you."

Lin eyed the bracelet and felt a surge of energy enter her body. "Let's go!"

The young girl rushed back towards the center of the practice area and grabbed the blindfold that had been abandoned on the floor. Dusting it off quickly, she blinded herself and tied the cloth tight around her head. She took a strong stance and waited for her father's signal. Rohan stood opposite from his daughter and placed his hands behind his back. He eyed his daughter, reminding him of another time.

"Remember, find me through the vibrations of the earth."

Perfect thing to say.

"Remember Lin, find me through the vibrations of the earth."

Lin listened carefully and focused all her energy into the ground beneath her. She searched and searched for anything, anything at all. All she heard was silence and smaller vibrations. Come on.

Suddenly, there it was. The recognizable rhythm of a heartbeat, just a few feet away from her. Just as she was about to act, a voice called out to her.

Show him no mercy. Give it all you got, kid.

And with that, Lin punched her fit upwards and felt a response. The earth vibrated and moved up. Excited, Lin grabbed the blindfold and ripped it off her eyes. Expecting to see her father, she became panicked when she was alone in the training area. The girl searched and searched but was disappointed to not find her father anywhere. Lin found herself starting to tear up once again.

"Woohoo!"

A large figure suddenly landed deep into the ground. The being had bended the ground so that it would be soft and he could land safely. Impressively, the ground was bent back to its original form and the being stood on the other side of area. Lin hurriedly rushed towards the figure and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Rohan could feel the bottom of his tunic dampening and only picked up Lin so that she was resting on his hip. "You did it, Lin!"

"Where did you go dad?" Lin still sniffled.

"You launched me way up into the sky Linny. Just like Master Toph, and just like Sifu."

Lin rubbed her eyes away of any other tears. "I thought I hurt you."

"Just a few bruises here and there. Nothing your mother can't take care of." Rohan smiled. "You really are an earthbender."

"Really?" Lin's demeanor changed into excitement.

Rohan looked straight into his daughter's eyes. Green matched green, something that hadn't occurred since his Sifu.

"Actually you're more than that."

"What do you mean dad?" Lin's eyes start to flutter with exhaustion. She laid her head on her father's shoulder.

Rohan gently kissed the top of her head and started on their way back home.

"You are a Beifong."
