Sari's body spasmed as the poison penetrated her system, her veins rapidly swelling and turning darker than the night sky. Her body was so weak and frail, yet her eyelids fluttered as she struggled to remain conscious. Her lips, now black with venom, opened and closed, and fearing I'd miss her words, I leaned over and put my ear over her mouth.
"...I...do…good?"
Korra's hands balled into fists, her eyes flashing dangerously. Tears blurred my vision as I cradled her head for a second longer before laying her gently on the ground. Korra had lasted more than day after being poisoned, but Sari had less than a minute before her frail body collapsed.
I stood slowly, struggling to control the tempest raging within my soul. Facing the man who had done this to my friend, I took a deep breath and spoke, my voice shivering with anger.
"What do you want?" I asked, each word slow and deliberate.
