avatar_500 prompt #67, World.
Summary: She's starting to think she never should have left home.
Bright Lights, Big City
Korra hugged her knees and stared out the window, listening to the wind hissing through the tree branches. The radio sat off on a shelf above her, silent and foreboding. It seemed like every time she turned it on, Amon's voice billowed out.
She was starting to wish she had never left the South Pole. Growing up there, nothing had ever scared her, not like this. She had never doubted that someday, she was going to be the Avatar the world needed, one of the greats, as great as Aang or greater.
And now, even Tenzin was starting to notice, and Tarrlok was throwing a party in her honor. There was no getting away from it, and all she wanted was the ice and isolation of home, the simplicity of training with the Order of the White Lotus, and her old confidence in herself.
She had still seen so little of the world, just one city in one country. There could be more little wars, and more Amons all over the world, and she wouldn't know it yet. If Republic City was too much for her to handle, how was she ever going to keep the whole world in balance?
