"(TEASER) TLOK-B5 : A New Galactic Age"
|
Korra looked up at the storefront. What had once been a thriving store in the "Disciple Wong's Sound City" phonograph chain, was now doing its best impression of an overgrown florist's shop. Spirit vines had broken through several of the windows and had entwined around the record racks inside. While it was still possible to enter the store, it certainly wasn't doing anything for the consumer experience. "I'm sorry, Avatar, but I'm at my wit's end," the shop owner cried, watching as several puffball and mushroom spirits loitered in the shop. "I don't mind having the spirits there, but the vines -- I can't even get into the back room anymore!" Korra studied the scene, a slight frown crossing her features. "And you say the Department of Spirits tried to move the vines earlier?" The shopkeeper nodded, the tassel on top of his hat flapping wildly. "They came last month, and the month before that! But the vines just keep -coming back-!" The Avatar sighed, and shook her head. "Do I have to take those guys through a refresher spiritbending course again? Seriously," she muttered under her breath, directing a brief sidelong glance towards the Spirit Department water tanker that had accompanied her to the vine disturbance. The driver had the good sense to look abashed at Korra's glare. "Don't worry, I'll take care of this." Shifting into a bending stance, Korra twisted the valves open on the nearby tanker truck. Water flowed out, controlled by her waterbending, and twisted around the vines, suspended in midair. Shifting stances, the water began to glow, redirecting the spiritual energy the vines were composed of. Slowly, the vines retracted from the depths of the store, receding into the ground and out of the windows. Continuing her spiritbending, Korra shifted the vines through the ground and under the pavement, allowing the tendrils to burst forth from the sidewalk, twisting upwards over several lamp posts, turning them into trees in the process. Their habitation moved, the spirits in the store ambled their way out of the shop and into the newly-grown trees. "Go in peace," Korra said, offering the benediction that completed the spiritbending technique. She had not discorporated the vines, but made them more harmonious with the environment, so she felt the statement still counted. "Amazing," the shopkeeper said with quiet awe. "That was incredible, Avatar Korra, thank you - aaah!" The shopkeeper jumped, startled by the glowing form of an elderly airbender that appeared between the two. "Korra, it's time. We're ready for you," said the apparition. "Thanks, Jinora," Korra replied, then turned towards the owner. "You're welcome, but I'm afraid I can't stay." A quick gesture closed the valves on the water tank, and another circular gesture summoned a gust of wind which propelled her airbender's glider staff to her hand. "Be there in five, Jinora!" she called out, before taking a running leap and taking off to fly towards Air Temple Island.

You know, I think this is the first time we've seen people that weren't at the Ragnarok dealing with the immediate consequences. Also, I know it's only one line, but the bit about Korra and Hot Rod hanging out is entirely too pleasing. They'd be able to bond so well over similar experiences! Matrix Dragon, J. Random Nutter |

Yeah, strange isn't it, that such an event with galaxy, nay universe-wide impact would go unnoticed by most of the galaxy's populace. Even those who are sensitive wouldn't have necessarily known what to make of it, without a frame of reference... >Also, I know it's only one line, but the bit about Korra and Hot Rod >hanging out is entirely too pleasing. They'd be able to bond so well >over similar experiences! We've had that one planned for a while. :) It proved to be a pretty decent night out -- Red Alert wasn't entirely pleased about what happened to the Sonic Canyons, though... --- Philip
