The Greatest (TLOK)

21) Bright and deadly

"Can't you just leave me alone, pretty please?"I ask as he stalks towards me.

He grabs the back of my chair and drags me back to my original spot before freezing the bottom of my shoes to the ground and walking out again.

"This is a crime!I have the right to move."I shout and let out a huff.

The audacity.

I try to move for a bit but give up and stare at the ceiling after my feet started hurting.

When I hear someone nearing my tent again I look at the entrance curiously .

The fighting had stopped now and I heard the crash of a plane which gave me little hope.

That hope was completely gone when Korra, Tenzin, Kya and Korra's dad were dragged in all battered and bruised.

Once they were all tied up, the soldiers left, leaving me alone with all these unconscious people.

I tried to shout all their names but nothing.

After a bit I heard stirring and Korra and heard dad whispering.

"Korra!"I call out.

She whips her head over to me and I see relief wash over her.

She try's to lift herself further off the ground but fails.

"Sophie! You're okay."she says, breathlessly, probably looking at the bruises on my face and the bit of blood I'm sure I have on there too.

Just as I was about to ask what happened to the rest of the gang, my brothers and Asami were thrown into the tent followed by the twins.

"Your dad's a sad, old man trying to destroy the world.Why are you helping him?"I ask the twins as I look at my brothers and back at them.

"He's a revolutionary world leader."Desna defends.

"Same thing."I reply and shrug.

"Sophie."I hear Mako whisper as he's basically thrown in front of my feet.

"Congratulations, everyone.You've all got front-Row seats for the beginning of the new world order." Unalaq says and I roll my eyes.

What is up with all these Vilians and they're new worlds?

"You don't know what you're doing, Unalaq.Freeing Vaatu won't make you powerful.It will only make you a traitor to everything good that's happened for the last 10,000 years."Korra replies weakly.

"You think what Avatar Wan did was good?Driving almost all the spirits from this world?The avatar hasn't brought balance, only chaos.You call yourself the bridge between the two worlds hut there shouldn't be a bridge.We should live together as one."Unalaq monologues.

Can't he just shut up and tell us his evil master plan and how's going to take over the world.

"Even if Vaatu escapes.I'll put him right back in his prison, just like Wan did."

"It's true that when Wan fused with Raava, he tipped the scale in her favour but this time, I'll be here to level the playing field.When Harmonic Convergence comes I will fuse with Vaatu and become the new avatar, a dark avatar.Your eras going to be over.And your beloved Sophie is going to help me, isn't that right Sophie?"he asks and I feel  all the attention move to me.

"Me helping you?You're more delusional than I could have ever imagined."I say with a bit of humour.

"But Sophie you already helped me so much."he says and I look at him in question.

" 'Izhu,nalina, eh marila balatuna un zari inala' doesn't that sound familiar."he smirks and the realisation creeps into my head.

The random piece of paper I found in the last book I had read in the South Pole, me being able to translate it and the whole thing about something being free.
