"There, you see?"

"I can make the sun shine?" Korra asked all surprise by her spiritual powers.

"Even in the material world, you will find that if you look for the light, you can often find it. But if you look for the dark, that is all you will ever see." Iroh's expression gets serious.

"I'm looking for my friend. I want her here now!" Korra closes her eyes and prays hard for Jinora to appear.

When she opens her eyes, she discovers Jinora isn't there, and her face becomes puzzled.

"Why didn't she come out like the sun?" Korra turned to Iroh all confused.

"I'm afraid finding her won't be so easy."

"But what am I supposed to do?"

"Sometimes the best way to solve your own problems is to help someone else." As they looked at the injured baby dragon bird spirit.

"This little fellow needs to go home as well. Maybe if you help him find his friends, you will be able to find yours."

The dragon bird spirit flies onto Iroh's hand, and he passes it to Korra. "I'll take him home! Where do I go?"

"The dragon bird nest is located there, at the top of Hai-Riyo Peak." Iroh points toward the dark craggy mountain, which is filled with dark clouds.

"It looks scary. Will you come with me?" Korra turns to Iroh as he shakes his head.

"Then...y/n will!" Korra turned to me with the dragon bird in her hands.

"I'm sorry korra but I have to look for Jinora. I made a promise to my uncle. But will see each other soon." Korra pouts a bit as I took a step back.

"This is something that you must do on your own. The people who have been coming to the Spirit World lately have brought darkness and anger. So that is what you see now. But you have light and peace inside of you. If you let it out, you can change the world around you." He placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Besides, look at this little fellow. This mountain is his home. When you first met him, you were frightened. But does he seem scary to you now?"

"No!"

"Many things that seem threatening in the dark become welcoming when we shine light on them. It was good to meet you. Come visit me again - in this life, or the next." Korra looks back at the dark mountain determined to reach the top.

"Bye! Okay, time for you to go home. Light and peace ... light and peace." Korra walks down the path heading towards the mountains.

"It surprises me you two split up. What's on your mind?" Iroh turns to me as I look up at the spirit sky.

"My little cousin is lost. I made a promise to my uncle that I'll protect her and I tend to keep that promise." As I felt a hand on my shoulder Iroh softly smiled at me.

"Family is important. Especially when you grow old you'll cherish the memories you have with them. But there something else isn't there?" Iroh smiles at me as I let out a heavy sigh.

"I...liked this guy who I have known for years but he seems to love someone else. But he keeps sending mix signals. I don't know what to do." I rubbed the back of my neck thinking of Mako and I relationship.

"Why is love so hard?" I looked over to Iroh as he patiently listens to me.

"This boy seems very important to you but I sense another one in the background who will reveal his love to you." I snapped my neck around looking at Iroh as he grins at me.
