The package had finally arrived. When Li had first heard of this magnificent device, he was rather doubtful of its practical applications. A skeptic born and raised, it wasn’t until he saw a traveling merchant trying to peddle one off that he became convinced of its uses. He was amazed by what he saw. Nothing in the world before or since had shown the progress of mankind more than this revolutionary, mechanical wonder. Granted, he wanted one of his own, not one passed down and held together with tape and bandages.
He had to wait months before his arrived. The parts themselves were produced by one of the Air Temples, he wasn’t sure which one, but they had been reluctant to piece the device together. Thus, Li found himself fumbling around with a screw driver and a wrench for a good twelve hours before he managed to get the thing in some semblance of working order. After a few test rounds in the snow behind his cot, he left to go find the Avatar, who couldn’t be much farther than a few blocks from here.
He cursed to the snow spirits as he left the house. “Does it always have to be this cold here?”

Korra was honestly just wasting time at this point. Her skills in arts of airbending, firebending, and waterbending could humble any master from any nation, but the boat to her next tutor wouldn’t leave for a good week, so she had nothing better to do than practice and show off. She couldn’t really say that she was going to miss the Northern Water Tribe. She had always found her stay here to be somewhat of an olive branch from the South Pole rather than a legit place to train. She was already a competent water bender.
She was in a massive courtyard. People had gathered around to watch her weave the water through the air. She mostly kept to her disciplines, but every now and then she would show off show the crowd something awe inspiring. Now was one of those times. Using nothing but the ice around her, she was creating a small scale model of Republic City. Every street corner, every merchant, they were all there. Not satisfied with this, although the crowd was more than impressed, she expanded. Using the entire courtyard, she made the world itself. Every nation and mountain could be found on this map.
The crowd was in awe. Ice sculptures were nothing new in the North Pole, but this was something extraordinary. It took up perhaps three square blocks, but this was something they would cherish for the rest of time. A true artistic gift from the Avatar! As a way to put her finishing mark on the map, Korra melted the ice that made up the seas. “Ladies and gentlemen,” she said facing the crowd, “I think I’m done for today.”
As she turned back to look at her ice world, a tremendous CRACK could be heard in the distance. At the same time, the Fire Nation portion of the map suddenly looked as if it had been struck by an asteroid. Korra turned to face the sound, and that's where she saw him, a man with long black hair and a goatee to match. Korra's eyes widened in shock at the sight and then took on a bright white glow, the same glow that Avatars in the past had donned when in danger or under tremendous stress. Korra was now in the Avatar State, and she was about to WHOOP SOME ASS. She got into a fighting stance she didn't even knew she knew and a vortex of wind swirled around her. When the wind cleared, Korra no longer stood there. It was instead a 12 year old boy with arrow shaped tattoos across his arms and forehead. It was...
"Aang." The mystery man smirked, crossing his arms as if to conceal something he was holding.
"OZAI!" the kid, Aang, got into a martial arts stance. "Long time, no see. You don't look a day past 40."
"And you don't look a day past 180. NOW FUCK YO COUCH NIGGA!" In an instant, Ozai had uncrossed his arms to reveal what he was holding, a quadruple barreled shotgun, and he pumped Aang/Korra's chest full of shotgun shells.
"OH SHI-!" Aang knew that if he were to stay in the Avatar state and die, the cycle would be broken, so he quickly turned back into Korra to let her take the death herself.
"ALL HAIL OZAI, THE NEW PHOENIX KING OF REPUBLIC CITY!"
Korra’s thoughts became less and less coherent. People were gathered all around her. As her vision began to fade, she could see her past lives. All of them, the vast infinity of the avatar cycle, starred into her. The last thing she ever sensed was a baby crying. Her life had passed, a new one was here. Ironically enough, it is not with Korra’s death that begins the Age of Terror, but rather the birth of Qianfan.
