Desert
Korra started to feel the effects from the heat and begun to dip out of the sky, she had been at it for a few hours now and only found more sand. She was about to set down when she began to see a small village coming up in the distance, she gritted her teeth and continued until she was close to the entrance of the small village to walk. Korra set down and her glider's wings pulled back into the staff then slid it back into her back pack. The woman then took a water skin from her pack and took a big drink before putting it back, then began to make her way.
The village houses were made from earth, however, it was too crude to have been made by an earth bender, Korra found it odd but then rid it off. Their were a hand full of people going about their business, the people were draped with cloth and some even had their heads covered to protect from the sun. In the middle of the village was a well, they must've been able to tap into an under ground water supply, she thought. When Korra was finally notice the village folk all turned to her and back away from her, some began to talk, she could make out hushed words and thankfully she could understand them. "Hey everyone..." she said nervously. She cleared her voice and spoke again, "uh I'm Korra...Avatar Korra..." She hated to drop her title but in some cases it was best to open with it.
The town folk looked at her confused. Korra could hear some hushed whispers, "what in the world is an Avatar," most of the people were saying. Korra gave a nervous smile, how have they not heard of her or the avatar, she was sure everyone in the world would now about the avatar even if they didn't know she was the current one. Just then a woman with two men on either sides of her met walked closer, the woman was draped in cloth like the others, however, she had a purple sash around her chest and a gold circlet on her head. The two men were dressed the same as the people but they had red sashes around their chest. Korra figured these people were most likely peace keepers and the woman was some like a chef or something.
The woman Spoke first, "You must excuse my people, we do not have many visitors this far into the Desert, traveler." The woman's voice seem smooth yet held authority. Korra couldn't help but notice the woman's beauty, with her black hair, and tan skin as if she had been bathed in the suns radiant glow. the avatar shook her head in just slightly to focus, "I can understand, I must look strange to have this on in the blazing heat," she said with a smile and tugging at the pelt that was wrapped around her hips. The woman met Korra's smile with her own then nodded to her guard and they seem to relax just slightly. "Well greeting Korra, the Avatar, my name is Anshi what brings you to our humble village?" Anshi questions. Korra thought for a second, the heat was starting to get to her, "I'm just passing through, I could use some directions and a place to rest though." she said. Anshi nodded to Korra, "well then my new friend, let us get out of the sun, you seem like you will faint at any time," she says with a more friendly tone.
Anshi leads Korra further into the small town until they came to a large tent that was open on all side except for the top and the side the sun was on. Korra took in all the colors in the tent cloth draped all around and their was a large seat cushion in the middle and smaller cushions on either side. "come sit with me and tell me your story Korra, like I said it is rare to have visitors so I like to listen to their adventures, my men will bring us something cold to drink and something to snack on as well." Anshi clapped her hands and men with with drinks and food came. Korra gave her thanks and took a big drink of cool water and bit into a fresh bread roll, she was too tired to worry about poisons.
Living Forest
Marceline gave the vampire a final scowl, "alright but I'm keeping an eye on you..." she says pointing to her eye then to the vampire. She then rubbed her head and looked up, she couldn't even see passed the trees. "Yeah this forest is giving me bad vibes," she says agreeing with Joey.
The vampire then looks down at the flower, "Oh sorry little guy, I forgot you were here..." she apologizes. "Why what did you do?" she asked clearly not take the flowers warning as serious as she should. Marcy had met some pretty evil guys, heck her demon father is the ruler of the Nightosphere, as long he wasn't another vampire.
