The Dual Bender

Chapter 58: The Spirit Of Balance

Korra POV

M/N turns and walks up to me.

You: "What did you see Korra? What happened?"

Korra: "I-I think I m-might have just saw Kronos."

Your POV

Oh, shit. I look over to Vivian looking for some answers to all this.

Vivian: "You did, he was here... I cannot believe that he already possesses the power to travel to and from the mortal world as he wishes... This is bad... Very bad." Well no shit it's bad.

You: "Ok, how come I couldn't see him?"

Vivian: "I-I'm not sure, both me and Korra saw him standing there, and heard him." What? I don't remember hearing anything.

You: "What did he say?" Neither of them respond, they both just stand there shocked. "Guys! What did he say?"

Korra: "That we can't beat him..." Oh.

You: "Well he's right." They both look at me confused. "What? Right now, neither of us is strong enough to beat him. But, that doesn't mean in 15 months we won't. I guarantee both of you that in 15 months I will be strong enough."

Vivian: "No offense M/N... But unless you somehow master Spirits Instinct... You have no chance of beating him. You've only mastered parts of it."

You: "So its name is Spirits Instinct huh?"

Vivian: "Well, it was, but now that a mortal wields it the name doesn't really fit."

You: "Nah, it's better than no name at all... So, I have to master this Spirits Instinct thing before he gets here. How do I master it?"

Vivian: "M/N, it's far too dangerous for a mere mortal to try and master it. You should just be thankful you have this."

You: "If I can unlock the power I can master it. How do I?" She sighs and looks away.

Vivian: "You must prove your worth to the highest of all spirits... The spirit of balance. If he deems you worthy, you unlock the power.... But, if he deems you unworthy... Well, anyone who has ever been deemed unworthy has been killed on the spot... And those, those were extremely respectable and strong spirits. Not a human who has killed hundreds and has very little restraint."

You: "I don't care. If I don't master it were all screwed anyways. Where can I find him?"

Vivian: "I cannot say. But he is in the spirit world, I'm sorry, that's all the information I can give you." I nod and walk over to Korra.

You: "I won't go if you tell me not to." She looks up to me, I can see how worried she is.

Korra: "If you believe you can do it... Then I do to." I nod and walk inside to go pack a bag, then walk back out.

You: "Keep up the training until I get back." They both nod and wish me good luck.

*TIMESKIP*

1 Month Later

Shit. Where the hell is this guy? I can't keep wasting time like this.

You: "Riher! Where Are You!?" I scream as I slam the ground. I stand, and see a single crack in the ground branching out from where I hit the ground. It leads off into a forest. I decide to follow it, about an hour later I'm met with a large temple on a cliff of a mountain. I was about to start climbing, until I remember I came through the portal. I bend myself up using my firebending and land softly in front of the temple. There is a balance carved above the entrance to it. I walk in, only to have the entrance close behind me. Weird, I don't remember there being any doors. I turn back around, and see a figure sitting on a throne... "Uh? Hey. I'm looking for a spirit named Riher, would you happen to know where I could find him?" The man shifts in his chair and inhales deeply.
