Description Chapter 1: Femke

Hello! My name is Femke! I'm 34 years old and I'm originally from planet earth, but currently I'm living in the avatar world with the new team avatar, I was very close with the old Gaang as well, Oh yeah, and did I already mentioned I'm a fairy? I was close friends with the old Team avatar, Aang was a really good avatar and a nice friend, he and his friends gave me much joy and I was always very happy to be around them, Toph was my very best female friend even BEFORE I came around team avatar, when she was still living with her overprotective parents. I was the only one she had…. The only one that understood how she felt and how she WANTED to be…. Well anyway, I'm getting off the story, that was then, and now I'm in the new world with the new avatar

How do you ask? Well, there is an 85-year time difference between my dimension and the avatar world, something I didn't know…. I wanted to adopt Toph and give her the nice loving family she always wanted, Lao didn't cooperate and told me he would put me in jail- the big jerk So I wanted to stay away in my realm for 3 years then see if he had changed his mind, but I didn't know about the time difference and now I'm here with the new team avatar….

At first, things went fine, Korra was….. Well….. She ignored me most of the time…. So I went to explore the new city, where I met up with Tarrlok, who I had met when I first got here, He was so nice and yet so….. Mysterious….. Like he was hiding something from me….. Well, I was hiding something from him as well. I didn't tell anyone I was a fairy at first, I felt something was up with him… something I couldn't put my finger on…."It's probably nothing… just keep calm…."I told myself.

I thought that whenever we were together, but soon I found out he indeed had something to hide from me, namely that he was a BLOODBENDER and the son of the evil Yakone who had tried to kill the avatar-The a**hole, as well as taking over republic city.. The asshole! This was when I told him about my fairy powers and promised him not to reveal him unless he would break his promise….

"I ALWAYS keep my promises" I had said with a smirk as I placed a hand on my heart, and I kept that promise… believe me or not, I did…. At all cost… even when the avatars life was in danger, I protected Tarrlok, whom I grew very close to…. Not because I loved him or something…. Quite the opposite…. I felt something different between us…. Like he was…. More than just a lover…. And later I found out what….. My mother Merinja…. Also hadn't known about the time difference and had fallen into the hands of Yakone…. Twice that was….. The jerk had managed to get my mother pregnant twice and make it off with her babies both the times…. You can guess what that means…. Noatak and Tarrlok both were my half-brothers….. And just then….. When I thought everything would get better… Everything fell apart…. Tarrlok tried to blow himself and his brother apart, but gladly survived…. But soon after they were fully recovered, which took quite some time. They were arrested and sentenced to 13 years prison, which was a high sentence…. Especially for someone who just found her dear brothers back…

"Don't worry Femke, it will be over before you know it…. Keep faith and we'll be back soon…."

Noatak had whispered in my ear as we told each other goodbye….. I had cried and every day after that…. I kept silence…. Forcing myself not to talk until the day came they were released and allowed to come home with me, to great anger of Korra who thought I was doing this just to annoy her since she HATED Amon for all he did to her….. While all I thought about was the happiness and well-being of my brothers….. I held my ground for quite some time as well….. Until harmonic convergence to be precise…. That was when we met up again, and I finally was able to fight side by side with my brothers to help the avatar save the world….. But did it end well for them…. No… they didn't even get released of SOME of their jail time…. They were just thrown back in and that was that….. It wasn't fear… I was only trying to help them…. And they tried to help me….. And they were treated like they were still the same old criminals….. Like they were still evil…. Like Yakone…. While it was obvious they weren't….

"Korra, she has to admit they changed at some point….. I just have to keep my hope up… for now…."

I thought as I strolled behind Korra while she was looking for a way to remove the vines that Unavaatu had made sprout during harmonic convergence. I just walked behind her and looked as she, Tenzin and Jinora did their work, not knowing why I had to come along in the first place…. It wasn't like she WANTED me around….. She disliked me from the day I sent food back in this world. Korra only had an eye for her friends… Mako, Bolin, and Asami….. With whom she saved the world twice already…. And hang around whenever she was free…

"This is so unfair….. I was part of team avatar before…. Why doesn't she just…? Let me in again…."

I thought as I looked from Korra who was air bending at some vines towards Jinora, who was sitting on her knees hugging a small spirit that lived her now. Jinora and her brother and sister at least DID like me…. And they were nice to me… as well….. Always asked me 100 questions about their grandfather, which was a good thing, since I LOVED to talk about that….. Remembering the good old times… when I was still part of team avatar and could say what was on my mind… something Korra didn't appreciate at all…. Because she thought what I said was all madness…. Because I didn't wanted to fight right away…. I wanted to either think of a plan or talk it out… something I had learned from avatar Aang…

"Why do you want to get rid of them? You changed the World. We've connected with the spirits again. The wilds are their home" Jinora said with a firm look on Korra as she hugged the small spirit close, that looked at her with bared teeth as she did so.

"I don't think the people who used to live here are as excited about it as you are" Korra said with a wry smile on her face as she walked to the end of the forest and used her glider to shove aside the curtain of vines that separated the spirit wilds from the normal part of the city since the spirit wilds had grown in the middle of the normal city….. Which is actually….. Kind of amazing…..

"Well, I best go face the press and tell them I still don't have a way to get rid of the vines, this should be fun." Korra said as she got her glider opened and went off flying after she had been done talking. At one hand I had wanted to tell her "Good luck" but decided against it at the last moment, since that would probably cause only more problems, so I held myself still as I went with Tenzin and Jinora back to the air temple and waited for Korra to come back. She did, but she immediately went to the courtyard to meditate…. Something that wasn't casual for her…. She HATED it to meditate and always tried to find a way around it…. So I was curious as to why she wanted to meditate now all off a sudden, so I climbed in a high tree and watched how Tenzin went up to Korra to talk to her… not wanting to be spotted because I knew she would never tell me what was on her mind anyway…..

"Can't talk. Meditating….." Korra said while she kept her eyes closed.

" You must be at the end of your rope. You hate meditating" I heard Tenzin reply, confirming what I had thought before. She hated meditating, something that was well known by everyone on the island…. That she tried meant she was at the end of her robes indeed…. Do I could have given her some clues about what to do, if she had only asked me…..

"I thought that if I REALLY tried I might be able to contact my past Avatars someone who knows something to help me. But I can't. They're gone, and I'm all alone… Did I ruin everything by leaving the spirit portals open?"
Korra asked Tenzin with a worried look in her eyes as she got up and walked to the railing where she had a beautiful outlook over the water outside the temple…


"You didn't ruin anything. You did what you thought was best for the World, and now things have changed. Change can be good or bad. Depending on your point of view" Tenzin wisely said as he came to stand next to Korra and placed a hand on her shoulder in a fatherly way.

" I know the people's point of view… its bad"Korra said, now feeling even worse than she had done before, hanging her shoulders as took a few steps backward now.


"You're not the President, Korra. Your job isn't to fix the daily problems of every person in Republic City. Your responsibility is to bring balance to the entire World. And that means no matter what you do, some people are not going to be happy about it" Tenzin said as he looked at Korra, who seemed to mumble "great" as she sat down on the floor in the lotus seat again and tried to meditate on.

"In the other hand, some people will be very happy. Like me, what you did during Harmonic Convergence may have brought back the Air Nation. And that can only be good for restoring balance. That is the act of a great Avatar" Tenzin said with a smile as he forced the avatar to look at him, who huffed and looked to the side in a annoyed way, not liking where this speech was going at all and neither did I, so I tuned it out and started to paint, something I did rather frequently, because I loved to paint, even do I wasn't very good at it because I had some problems with my fine and gross motor skill, but despite that I was good enough to make my own way of the world….. Show how I would like it to be… or capture I moment I liked….. Like now…. The peace of the island, the beauty of the sun on the water…. It fell also perfect….. That I knew it wouldn't last for too long…. And I was right, not match later Bolin came running, telling they found the man that had been air bending before, like mako had reported, and that he had jumped on top of the Kyoshi bridge to avoid getting captured, because the poor man probably thought he was dangerous of something….. And I didn't blame him…. I would react the same way if I was in his shoes…. And at one hand I was eager to go along and see what was going to happen now, but I knew I wouldn't be appreciated anyway, so I decided against it and went on with my painting…. It had become quite good and I was very happy with it, I just went inside to go and see if it was already dinner time when Ikki and Meelo walked with a strange man in their mid's, talking about all kind of things as they walked my way.

'" and this is Femke, she isn't an Air bender yet, but she is a friend of out grandfather Aang and she is very nice and kind and caring and she can bend 3 elements just like Korra and she is REALLY, REALLY good at that as well…" Ikki told in one breath, which made the stranger smile at me kindly and held out his hand for me.

"Nice to meet you Femke, I'm Dah, I'm a new Air bender…" The man named Dah said with a smile on his face. I smiled back at him as I shook his hand, then went with the Air bender kids to guide Dah around.

"So….. You were the one that got on Kyoshi Bridge huh? Quite impressive if you ask me…"Femke smiled as she walked with dash towards the air acolyte diner room to get to dinner.

"Yeah, I was so scared, I didn't know what was happening and I wanted to get out of everyone's way before I could hurt anyone…."The black haired man said with a smirk as he rubbed himself over the back of his head with a smirk on his face.

"I know how that feels, it's scary... to get told you have a power that can either save the world or destroy it...huh?" I asked the man with a sad look on my face, remembering when our friend and vortex guide Daniel had told me I was a voortrix one of the fairies who had to power to keep the magic realms balanced, not only the magic one but also the other dimensions... even the avatar world, do they had the avatar as well... Daniel also told us to only take action in the avatar world if the avatar wouldn't be able to handle it himself anymore.

"Which isn't very likely to happen, so we have easy work there..." He had said with a wink as he had handed me back the medallion I had picked up earlier... the medallion of my past life... feria...

"Yeah, it's very scary... and yet,... I'm also very excited... I mean... I'm going to help to rebuild a whole NATION...imagine that..."Dah said as he looked at the roof with a dreamy look in his eyes, imagining what his life would look like from now on.

"That's true, do it will take a lot of hard work, studying and practicing as well, and you won't be an Air bender in one day..." Femke said with a smile as she looked at him with a smile on her face, which made Dah look at her shocked since he hadn't thought about that before...

"But don't worry, you will have plenty of help from Tenzin, the avatar, and the air bending kids..." Femke assured the man when she saw how shocked he looked at her now. when Dah heard this do, he sighed with relief, happy he would get all the help he would need to become a good Air bender.

"What about you? You're not going to help and guide me?" Dah asked now, since he heard I hadn't said "me" or "I" at the end of the line, and I had done that on purpose, not only because I wasn't an Air bender... but also because I didn't like to hang around Tenzin and Korra for longer than 5 minutes... they hated me... they had proven that to me more than once..

"I'm not an Air bender... so I won't be of match use..." I admitted with a smirk on my face, and it was the truth. During my time with Aang we didn't have time for it... and now I didn't dare to ask Tenzin for lessons... because he was either too busy with Korra... or with his kids... besides... he would say no anyway... he hated me... just as match as Korra...

"Oo..." Dah said shocked before he looked down with a look, probably he had expected I was an Air bender as well...

"It's okay... I'm used to it..."I smiled accepting some food then went to sit on my own... like I always did... I saw Dah looked at me with a smile before he went to sit next to me! But was stopped by Pema who asked him to come and sit with her, wanting to get too know the ones that were going to restore the air nation.

"Yeah, I should have known they wouldn't let a new Air bender come near me... "I thought as I started to eat on my own, as always... Pema liked me but was once again busy with Kya and the new Air bender, and the kids were too hyper to go and SIT somewhere... let alone sit here with me and talk...

"Some things will never change I guess..." I thought as I ate as fast as I could, so I could leave soon as well, on with my painting... or maybe to bed early... I fell kind of sleepy... like... heavy in the head... maybe going to bed early wasn't such a bad idea..."I'll just have to finish that painting tomorrow" I thought as I put away my things from dinner by the dishes and then went to Pema to say I was going to sleep because I had a headache. "That's okay...take an aspirin and go to bed.. I'll come and check on you later tonight...just keep it calm okay?" Pema smiled at me. I nodded thankfully for her kindness before I did as she said and went to get an aspirin, then went to bed... if she came to check on me or not, I don't know... because the moment my head touched my pillow I fell in a deep sleep... later making me wish I hadn't...

And with that, I end the first chapter of my newest story! I hope you all liked it!

A/N

Femke is a fairy, the fairy of the voortrix, that's how she was able to know both avatar Aang and avatar Korra. Femke means maiden in the Netherlands, which is my home country, so please don't be too hard on me for my bad spelling and grammar. Well, that was all for now! Please let me know what you think about my story with reviews.

Been through the first chapter now. It has a rough start and get's better at the end.

First it was hard for me to get into the story, because of all the different characters and events and the quick jumps fron one to the other. It wasn't clear what this story is about.

All changed when you got to the part with the new airbender. With the focus on the dialog and the two characters, I started to feel with Femke. So I got interested in your fanfiction and will continue with chapter two.
