DUALITY - LEGEND OF KORRA FANFIC.

CHAPTER ONE.

Rikka let a huff go past her lips as she silently stared at the ground. She kicked a pebble in irritation before glancing over to her grandmother. Breaking the silence, she finally spoke  "Are you sure you want me to go?"

Rikka's grandmother smiled at her grandchild, nodding her head. "Of course I want you to go, Rikka." The young earth benders eyes became downcast after her grandmother spoke, a pang of uncertainty almost overcoming her senses. 

The grandmother placed her hands on Rikka's shoulders, causing her look up to see the older woman. 

"Why do I have to go, gran? Can't I just stay here?" Tears appeared in Akane's eyes as she replied to her granddaughters question. "If I had stopped your mother from leaving when she was younger maybe she wouldn't have died--" 

Rikka looked up at Akane, silently frowning, "But if I didn't let her leave then I wouldn't have you as a granddaughter"

Tears brimmed Rikka's eyes as she hesitantly nodded. "Now come. I have something for you" Akane took Rikka's hand and led me to my mother's old room. Rikka looked around the room in awe. She had never been allowed to come into the room she was in until now. 

Akane walked over to the dresser, leaving Rikka to sit on the lone bed in the corner. The old woman grabbed a few things before making her way back over to her granddaughter. 

"This was your father's blade" She handed Rikka a sheathed knife. The handle of the blade was red, with a black 'S' embroidered onto it. Hesitantly taking it from her grandmother, Rikka examined it for a few moments before standing and attaching the blade to her hip. 

Akane smiled, grabbing the pair of black wrist guards that had once belonged to her daughter. Rikka slid them on before pulling Akane into a hug. 

"Thank you so much, grandma" Rikka wiped a few tears away with her wrist, smiling sadly. Akane pulled away from the hug after a few moments and placed her hands on Rikka's shoulders. 

"Now you must go and find your destiny, Rikka." 

Rikka hesitantly nodded before getting up from the bed after Akane removed her hands from Rikka's shoulders. "I'll write you letters, grandma" 

---------

Staring out at the road ahead of her, Rikka huffed. She glanced at Akane once more before starting to walk towards her destination. 

"Spirits, this is going to take a long time if I travel like this"

Rikka bended a rock from under her, standing on the rock as she bended the rock so it would go forward quickly. 

"That's better" 

--------------

Rikka's eyes lit up as she seen the lights of the city she had longed to go to since she was a child. She jumped off from the rock she was on, running towards the tall buildings in the distance. 

Weaving her way through the streets, she fought the urge to start bending out of excitement. 

After a while of wandering the streets, Rikka noticed a group of people gathered around a man ranting angrily about something

  "If you're tired of being oppressed and beaten down by bender's each day, join Amon and together we will defeat the benders!"  Rikka rolled her eyes, silently making her way over to the group. 

"The era of bending is over! we will rise!" 

Rikka narrowed her eyes at that. "What are you even talking about? You're a non bender- not some slave" She huffed as some of the people turned at the sound of her speaking up. 

"Girl, you have no idea what you're talking about" 

She rolled her eyes in annoyance. "And I'm sure you'll know when you're doing in this "revolution" of yours" She glared at the group of people, clicking her tongue. 

Deciding it was a lost cause, Rikka turned and started walking away. "Hey!" A boy from the crowd advanced towards Rikka, waving his hand in an attempt to catch her attention. His attempts being successful, Rikka turned and looked at the boy. 

"Hello?" 

"That was pretty cool how you spoke to them. Are you new here" Rikka looked at him in confusion.

She nodded hesitantly, letting her arms fall to her sides. "Yeah. I got here a couple hours ago; What's your name?"

The boy grinned. "My name is Ryuu. What's yours?" 

Rikka smiled. "My name is Rikka" 

Ryuu smiled slyly. "Lets go get something to eat." Before Rikka could reply Ryuu had already grabbed her hand, pulling her along and leading her to a watertribe styled restaurant. 

After sitting down and ordering food, Rikka and Ryuu began talking once again.

"Where are you from?"

"I'm from the earth kingdom. Though my father was from the fire nation" Rikka frowned at the thought of her parents, placing a hand on her mother's wrist guards.

"Ah. That's nice. My parents are both from the fire nation" She nodded in reply, her cheeks heating up as he interlaced his fingers with mine.

"Do you have anywhere to stay?" She blinked in confusion at his question for a few seconds before realizing what he asked. "I'm just going to stay at an inn"

He pulled his hand back and looked at me quizzically. "You can't do that. Here- I'll let you stay at my place until you can get yourself onto your feet" Huffing lightly and rolling her eyes, Rikka nodded. "Fine"

Ryuu grinned at her reply, satisfied that he had gotten what he wanted.

The waiter went to the table a few minutes later, putting the two benders food in front of them. 

Rikka went to take a bite when Ryuu grabbed the utensils out of her hand and placed them back onto the table. "Where I grew up, male's eat first" 

Rikka narrowed her eyes, biting her tongue in an attempt to stop herself from making a rude remark. 

After he had taken a few bites I picked up my utensils once again, beginning to eat. I glanced out the window at the road and the people who were outside.

Suddenly a polar bear dog ran past the restaurant, a girl clad in watertribe clothing riding on top of the animal. Rikka quickly got up from her seat, running outside and ignoring Ryuu's plea's for her to come back into the restaurant. "Hey!"

Rikka bended a rock from the ground, preventing the polar bear dog to run further. The girl's head turned quickly to look at me in shock. She got up and off from the dog, glaring at me for a few moments. "What was that all about? Why did you stop me?" 

"That was so cool!" Rikka grinned and held out her hand for the supposed water bender to shake it. She almost jumped in excitement as she stared past Korra and at the polar bear dog. She had barely ever seen a animal that large before. She looked back over at the avatar. "I'm Rikka" 

Hesitantly shaking the earth bender's hand, she replied. "I'm Korra"
