Kaito's POV
(How he and Korra meet)
Azalea and I had just been eating lunch when she dared me to go into the swamp. The swamp is an odd place. It is where the swamp people live and their a bit eccentric, also there are rumors that that is where Toph Beifong and Avatar Korra disappeared to. But of course those are only rumors. Anyway I know that she thought that I was not going to do it and I wouldn't have except for the fact that I don't want to be the wimpy older brother.

So here I am. Walking through the dense forest. I hear a rustling noise behind me causing me to turn quickly but I don't see anything. I feel something rap around my ankle keeping me from moving forward. I look down and it's a vine. I scream as I'm dragged by the vine. Not even five seconds later I am hanging upside down by my ankle in a tree.
"Who are you?" I hear a woman ask. I look up to see a young woman around my age. (They are both in their twenties)
"Kaito! My name is Kaito!"
"What are you doing here?" She asks scarily.
"M-my sister d-d-dared me to c-come here." I say stuttering. She relaxes and let's me down. In other words I fall on my head. I whimper in pain. Which causes her to laugh. "What's so funny?" I ask.
"You're weak, falling on your head shouldn't hurt." I chuckle thinking that she's joking but then I look at her face and realize she was being completely serious.
"What kinda world do you live in where falling on your head shouldn't hurt?"
"A messed up one." She says with a frown. I frown as well but then I smile at her and say, "And I would love to hear about that over a cup of tea." She smiles at me but I can still see the sadness in her eyes.
"Of course, follow me." I follow her through the swamp till we reach a small hut. When we reach the door she turns around and says, "Welcome to my home. I live with one other person but she is visiting her daughters and grandchildren so it's just me for a little while." She leads me into the hut.
It turned out to be a mixture of a cave and a hut. The back portion is a cave but there was a hut built into it. It wasn't that big. There were two cots, a small cooking area with a fire pit on the back wall, a small, and I mean tiny wardrobe off to the side.
The girl ushered me over to one of the cots and had me sit down. She went over to the cooking area. She set up a fire and hung a kettle of water over it. We sat in silence though I opened my mouth to say something many times but nothing ever came out. Once the water finished boiling she placed a tea bag in it and brought it over to me. I thanked her.
We spent the entire time in silence till she broke asking, "Why are you in my swamp?"
"I was dared by my sister to come here." I said staring at my feet but I quickly looked up when I heard her burst out laughing. I stared at her my mouth hanging in shock. 

"You look about my age, and I'm 23." She gasped out.

"So." I say getting defensive.

"It's just that even I wouldn't take a bet to go into a spooky looking swamp." She wiggled her fingers at me as she said the last part. 

"Well she thought that I wouldn't do it so I am currently trying to prove her wrong."

"Well that makes so much more sense then just being dared." She suddenly stopped laughing, stood up straight, and stared me in the eye. I gave a nervous laugh at what she was doing. She gave me one last look and ran out the door. I followed behind her quickly. She was staring at the sky. When something strated coming closer from the horizon she snapped out of her daze and dragged me indoors. "H-hey," she said with a stutter. "W-well  it's getting dark out so you should probably go." 

I gave her an odd look. "Well a) last time I checked it was the afternoon and b) my head still hurts and c) I don't know."

"You're right." She said with a resigned look. She looked away and started muttering. "Well maybe he could hide? No she would find him. Or I could-."

"Um... who's she?"

She looked over to me and said."My teacher."

"Teacher?"

"Yeah why else would I be in the swamp she's a hermit."

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A HERMIT." I jumped and looked toward the door, where the sound was coming from.  I looked over to the girl, she was cowering. I opened my mouth to ask a question but she quickly slapped a hand over my mouth. But I accidently bit her in surprise when the door was kicked open. In front of me stood a little old woman who was wiping her hands."Well I may be old but that doesn't mean that I can't  kick butt. She turned her head toward the girl and I. "Korra who is this young man? I thought that you didn't have any friends." 

"Toooooppphhhhh." Korra whined. But I didn't hear her because her name was ringing through my ears. Korra. I spent an hour with the Avatar. The most looked for person in the entire world.
