   Princess Katima Blackvale is the eldest daughter of the Blackvale family, the ruling family of Tyne for the past century. Never having been one for statecraft and political maneuvering, the Princess found her place on the battlefield. Despite the discouragement of her parents who wished for her to be married for a political alliance, she insisted upon training to join the royal army. 

   Denied her wish by her father, she ran away from home when she was only 16. She began training with the sword across the sea in a foreign kingdom. While there, she fell into contact with a group of dissidents, led by the disgraced son of a noble. He had knowledge of a plot by the king to summon a being from an alternate plane of existence with which to finally crush his enemies and exert total control over his people. She joined the group of rebels, spending two years with them before they finally made their move and were able to dispose the king just before he was able to acquire the power he was looking for. In the wake of this, Katima returned home, missing her family and learning that her mother had had another child in her absence. 

    Home was not to be a place of rest. Her best friend, a half elf boy named Kerwyn, welcomed her back but was not as she remembered. All seemed to be well at first, but then her father was the target of an assassination attempt. The poison in his wine was thankfully discovered in time but she realized that there were enemies even at home. She told Kerwyn of her worries and he promised to help her uncover the mystery. Alas she was to learn that Kerwyn was the one behind the attempt on her father’s life, as he tried once more, begging her to join him in his rule. She was forced to kill him to save her father’s life.

Korra finished brushing Wan's hair. She was dressed in her formal clothes as well.

"There. I'm not very good at this but, I hope this is enough." Wan glanced at the handheld mirror. Wan's eyes have black circles around them."Thank you, it looks good," Wan said tiredly.

Korra sets the mirror down, kneels next to him," Wan- I-'' Korra clenched her eyes. "I know this is rough, but if you need anything. I'm here. Till the very end." Korra caressed his hands. Wan's eyes slightly widened with this touch he said nothing.

Raava watched Wan. She always has. His shallow breaths and his heart was beating all the same. The spirits of light and peace strangely enough almost lost her warmth and fire. Korra was away carrying the burden that they both would hold together. 

    She wished that she could whisper in his ear, telling him that everything will be alright. Yet, their connection was damaged with him due to the poison. He couldn’t hear her but she could hear him, feeling his guilt and agony. She can watch the visions of Zaheer over and over.

    Raava hears the sobs in the middle of the night as Korra comforts him as the nightmares haunt him. Raava knew the nightmares all too well, yet didn’t tell her moonlight, Korra any of it. The poor girl was already frantic enough for Wan’s safety. Even when she was always inside him, they were divided and she was unable to give him comfort.
