Re: The girl in the iceberg (4/?)

Between one thing and another, it took almost a year to reach the Northern Water Tribe. The sages refused to cross even the smallest stream on Naga, so they had to hire boats to cross everything-but not the main ferries, that was too noticeable. They travelled at night, both for cover and because they were at their strongest then, took the least-charted roads they could find, and went far out of their way to avoid any Fire Nation soldiers. Or rumours of Fire Nation soldiers. Or possible chance of Fire Nation soldiers

Tarrlok gave a shaky laugh. Before he could respond, or (as was rather more likely) Noatak could continue gloating, the fractured chunk of land beneath them shuddered, splintering further. They scrambled to their feet and fled to the safety of the ocean, freezing the surface beneath them as they went. Noatak already felt better, supported by their waterbending rather than brittle earth, but he was glad enough to reach a nearby ice floe. Only then did they look behind them.

An iceberg. Nothing unusual, here--or it shouldn’t have been. At first, they could only make out the pale tip, jostling the bit of land they’d abandoned. Then it kept rising, and it wasn’t just pale, it was glowing.Noatak suspected spirit shenanigans

All right, maybe a spirit

The brothers’ jaws dropped in unison. They both gaped at her.

Korra laughed. “I guess you weren’t expecting me?”

It was, unusually, Tarrlok who pulled himself together first. He snapped his mouth shut, lowered his hands, and swallowed.

“Uh,” he said. “No?”

Noatak scowled at her. “How do we know you’re telling the truth and this isn’t some Fire Nation plot? Stay away from her, Tarrlok, she could be a spy--”

“A spy? Me? But I’m Water Tribe!”

They stared at her. Tarrlok backed away, into his brother. At any other time, Noatak would have pushed him away and told him to stand up for himself. Now, he just clapped a hand on Tarrlok’s shoulders.

Korra rolled her eyes. “Fine. Water.” She twirled a small stream through the air. “Earth.” She moved a few crumbs of earth up off the sinking cliff, then cupped a flame in her hands again. “Fire. Just like the sages are always going on about.”

“She is the Avatar,” whispered Tarrlok

“Then--what?” said Tarrlok.

“I don’t know,” Noatak admitted. “Well, I’m not sure. But I think she might have been in that iceberg for a long time. A very long time. If I'm right, then we have a lot to explain. And that’s not even bringing Dad into it.”

Tarrlok’s eyes rounded. “D’you think he’ll teach her bloodbending?”

“Is that seriously the worst thing you can think of?” Noatak snorted. “Besides, we can only do it so well because it’s strong in our family. Even if she’s the Avatar, she doesn’t have that. But she might be able to learn. And if she can’t, three bloodbenders and the Avatar against the Fire Nation is still as close to a fair fight as he’ll ever get. He’ll want to keep her.”

“She’s not a thing,” Tarrlok said.

“We’re things, to Dad.” Noatak tried to shrug it off. The familiar chilly detachment was creeping back into his blood. Even Tarrlok didn’t look particularly disturbed. He knew what their father was almost as well as Noatak

“What are you talking about?” Korra took a furious step towards him, hands curling into fists. “The Fire Nation took my parents
