In the morning, I was sleep deprived. And even a little tired. But it didn't show on the outside.
«Ready?» I asked as I entered Korra's house. And the fact that I didn't have the key didn't bother me at all. «Anyone alive?» And there was silence.
I guess I was misunderstood. When I said dawn, that's exactly what I meant. Anyway, everyone was still sleeping. It took me a moment to decide what I was going to do. Then I did it.
Sneak up on Korra quietly. A few swings of my hands and I had a few liters of water. Cool it down and throw it at her. The whole tribe must have heard her scream. A few seconds and a few boys storm into the room.
«Good morning», I said with smile, «We're sailing in fifteen minutes, so get ready.»
And out I went, leaving a wet Korra in her underwear and the boys in their underwear. A funny sight, but I had other things to do at the moment. For the moment, Korra was staying at the white lotus house where she practiced as a child. So I went to the ground floor.
Since I'll be traveling without Azula, I'll need proper transportation. The car I built during the war would be perfect.
A impulse and a piece of compacted earth comes out of the ground. A few minutes and the frame is complete. A car out of the ground. It won't go all the way, even if you ask hard enough. Instead of glass, I put ice on the windows. The floor is also covered with ice for better sliding. The size of the car turned out to be quite large. Five people could fit inside. After twenty minutes, everyone came out and stared at the car.
«What are you looking at?» I asked with a smile. A pulse and the trunk opened, «Throw your stuff in and let's go.»
A little lethargically, but the stuff was put in the trunk. Impulse and the trunk closed and all the stuff was clearly secured. Impulse and the doors opened.
«Ladies first», I was honestly amused by their faces. Korra got in first, then Asami, then Mako and finally Bolin. I was the last to get in. «Buckle up», I pulsed and everyone was strapped to the ground. «Now let's go.»
«I don't have a good feeling about this», Bolin spoke up at the last moment, «It only thoughts.»
Impulse and we're off. Next, pick up the car with water magic and let's go. I had just managed to accelerate a bit when we fallen down from a cliff. I deliberately chose a bigger cliff. A moment of weightlessness and we land softly on the water. Now it's all about technique. Getting up to top speed and keeping it there without letting the car take off.

«Welcome to Kyoshi Island!» I said with a smile as we arrived and got everyone out of the car. Only the reaction was a little off. All green, the four of them crawled on all fours to the edge of the pier and spent a few minutes showing off what they had eaten today. After waiting for them to finish and come to their senses, I continued, «So, this is Kyoshi Island. Any requests?»
«Shops», Asami muttered.
«A hospital», Korra said.
«An arena», Bolin remarked.
I looked at Mako.
«I'm just here for company», he shrugged.
«Hmm...» I wondered, «What if we split up? Everyone goes where they want to go and in the meantime I'll show Korra the island, okay?»
There were no objections. A few minutes later everyone had an escort. I, however, walked leisurely into the interior of the island. The hospital was practically next to the wall, the safest place on the island. Like all important buildings.
Needless to say, Korra was surprised? She was shocked. I can understand that. What the island was like was incomprehensible to the average person. But it was the people. It was hard to explain, but they didn't care. Not at all.
