No fear. No pain. No mercy. The words echoed in her head. Calming. Clarifying. They helped her keep focus despite the futility of her efforts. She was surrounded. The Avatar was before her, fully powered. And, judging from the effort it took to stand, she was bleeding out. No fear. No pain. No mercy. 843 … Continue reading
Korra couldn’t quite believe what she was seeing. Her first theory was that she’d banged around a few too many heads, and somehow in the process, her own noggin had taken far too hard a blow. Assuming it hadn’t, though, she was staring at something she had no way to explain. An airbender, no one … Continue reading
“Okay, I confess, I know I might be a bit out of the loop here…” Bolin said. The motorboat was bumping across the waves, and he was trying to strike a balance between maintaining some element of surprise and still talking loud enough to be heard over the motor. He pointed at the vast ocean … Continue reading
Once they touched ground, Izumi quickly got to her feet, as did everyone else. Of course, the large explosion drew attention. It would have been highly convenient if they could have somehow managed a silent explosion as part of the victory, but seeing as how Izumi was grateful just to be alive at the moment, … Continue reading
Izumi had to admit, she hadn’t really expected the best idea offered in the war room to come from Bolin. In fact, when he’d started to talk, she’d been tempted to suggest leaving him behind. Now they were following his plan essentially to the letter. Of course, following Bolin’s plan also required letting herself, her … Continue reading
Zuko was quite disappointed. He had barely finished telling the tale of he and his friends’ journey through Forgetful Valley when the guard fell asleep.

Zuko had a few theories about the limits of voidbending. He’d never had the chance to test any of them, but he supposed now was as a good time as any. His captors were strategic about their hostage-keeping, at any rate. He and Nanami were both kept bound onto the mast of a ship, which … Continue reading
Fuse was still asleep on the same couch ten hours later. Izumi had not intended to walk up on her the exact moment she woke up, but it worked in her favor all the same. Her position had changed slightly; she had gone from lying on her stomach to lying on her back, and her … Continue reading
The nerve of him… Tenna fumed. The absolute nerve! Mako’s words were still roaring through her head triggering the start of what was going to be one heck of a migraine later. Or maybe that was just from the wine. She wasn’t sure and didn’t really care either. She was too busy being furious to … Continue reading
Thankfully Varrick was able to smooth things over at the theater. “Pennypincher” might not have actually been a villain, but he was greedy. By the time Bolin and the fanboy came back from re-exchanging outfits, the owner had a fat wad of money for his troubles and Varrick was the proud owner of a Fire … Continue reading
