Beifong Blood: Part 3
Baatar was tired, so very tired. All around him was endless ocean, above him was a clear blue sky with neither bird or cloud in sight, only the sun. His aching eyes searched the skies, hoping, praying for clouds, rain, anything to relieve their thirst or hide them from the burning sun. His hands were raw and blistered from hours of rowing. The rowing had become mechanical, he didn’t stop or think about anything else until Kuvira traded places with him.
Kuvira told them that she had followed the men who had taken them and managed to stow away on Damu’s ship. Her own injuries had prevented her from making any
Part 4: Questions Su had not gone through any of Lin’s things. The few boxes containing her sisters’ personal belongings had been placed in a guest room on Air Temple Island. She had collected them ten days after the ship sank, when rescuers called off the search and declared the missing officially dead. There had been a public service to honor the lost, but she had been too numb to remember most of it. Kya and Pema had gone with her to the small apartment and helped her pack her sisters few belongings. It was hard to believe that it had only been two weeks. She sighed deeply and looked around the crowded room. All her remaining family was in attendance along with Tenzin, his siblings, Korra, Asami and Bolin. Mako had asked them all to be present when he gave them the updates from the investigation. She hoped he would have answers, she wanted closure. Looking at the crowded room, Mako fidgeted slightly. Questions had to be asked and he had no way of predicting how anyone would

Part 5: Answers Mako had finally uncovered some useful information. One of the very last boxes checked had contained all of Lin’s legal information and documents. The most interesting documents in the box were copies of Lin’s will. Su frowned at the papers in her hands. These documents were drafts of Lin’s will. There were several drafts, the earliest dating back almost twenty years and the most recent draft dated only a few weeks ago, just before the explosion that killed her. While everyone in the room had been briefed on the contents, only Tenzin and Mako had actually read the wills. They had known Lin best, but they were equally puzzled by the documents. “Does anyone know what to make of these?” Su asked to the room in general. A general murmur of no echoed around the room in response. Peeking around Tenzin’s shoulder Bolin pointed to the bottom of the page at the signature lines. “Who is Yoritomo Hamada?” Looking at the signatures Su shook her head in a mixture of

Lin woke slowly. As the blurry room slow came into focus, she felt a wave of confusion and disorientation. The bamboo and thatch were radically different from her last memory of ocean and sky. Slowly she managed to turn her head, trying to take in her surroundings. There was a person seated near her bed and it took a moment before his face registered through the haze in her mind. Rokan! What was her son doing here? Lin tried to speak, tried to ask what was going on, but all she could utter was a weak croak. At the sound Rokan snapped to alertness instantly. His expression of profound relief when he saw her looking at him worried Lin and she tried to speak again. “W…w…what…?” The dry rasp of her voice made her cough. Rokan quickly poured a cup of water and moved to her side. He carefully raised and supported her as she sipped water from the rough cup in his hand. The simple act of taking a sip of water exhausted Lin more than she could have believed possible. She forced it down

"Furry-Foot, wait up!" Jinora laughed out as she ran through the fields of the spirit world with her dragonfly bunny spirit friends. They ran around for a while longer until Jinora got tired. She stopped near the foot of a mountain to catch her breath. Then suddenly, her spirit friends lifted her up by the shoulders. “Huh?” She was brought into the air.
“Hey, where are we going?” They continued to accelerate her until finally they reached the top of the mountain and set her down.
“Why’d you bring me up here?” she asked with confusion.
Suddenly they went before her and turned into vivid balls of col

“EW! Meelo cut it out!”
Ikki and Meelo were playfully sparring with each other and were doing a fairly good job, but Ikki finally had enough of Meelo’s constant “fartbending.” The younger airbender just laughed as he continued his antics.
Jinora stood against the wall of the temple dressed in her air nomad garb that had been modified into a dress that went just below her knees. She also now wore a red shawl rather than an orange one, but still kept her knee high boots. Rather than interested in the frolics of her younger siblings, the twelve year old girl’s mind was still on the dream she had earlier. Bein

Jinora woke up feeling better than she did the day before. She felt refreshed, in a way. Even reassured which was quite contrary to her mood the day before. She didn’t know what brought about the change but she sure wasn’t complaining. As soon as she got out off bed she stretched and then dressed herself with a smile on her face the entire time. She went over to the window and opened it. The cool breeze blew onto her skin and through her hair. Then she looked past her window, beyond the island, to gaze at the proud statue of Avatar Aang. A bright smile came onto her face, “this is going to be a good day.” She decided t

Skoochy’s eye started to twitch as he was surrounded by annoying sounds at the breakfast table. Between Jia slurping her soup, Sheng hammering on one of his inventions, that stupid dog that the kids were always bringing to the table against the better wishes of Mrs. Ling, the group of girls laughing loudly at whatever they were talking about, and the kid sitting next to him (whose name he could never remember) who was munching on like 3 carrots at a time, he was really starting to lose it. Then he looked over near the end of the table to se

(****)
The severed head of the Colossus rests, damaged and ruined, on the ground. Once the command center of the most destructive weapon in the history of war, the ultimate triumph of human science and military might… now just a hull, a giant piece of scrap metal.
Inside the cockpit, amongst the ruined machinery and controls, something begins to feebly stir.
“Uhh… Aagh…” The battered, half-dead form of a woman – her once pristine armor and uniform now torn and dented; her hair loose and wild; and her face marked by a long deep cut running across her
