The next morning brought more combat training, but this time with an unexpected visitor. Korra was mid-spar with Mara when a familiar, unsettling scent drifted across the training yard.She spun, instinctively dropping into a defensive crouch, and found Lucien leaning against the fence surrounding the yard. He looked exactly as he had every other time she had seen him, pale, beautiful, and dangerous."You," she breathed.Vera and Seline moved immediately, weapons drawn and positioned between Lucien and Korra. Mara's hand went to the dagger at her belt.Lucien raised his hands in a gesture of peace, though his smile suggested he found their caution amusing. "Easy, ladies. I'm just here to deliver a message.""Then deliver it and leave," Vera growled."Actually, I would prefer to speak with young Korra directly." His pale eyes found hers, glinting with amusement and surprisingly concern. "It's about her training, or rather, the training she's not receiving.""What are you talking about?

"We don't know for certain," Elara said, though her tone suggested she had her suspicions. "What we do know is that the attack was surgical, precise. They killed anyone who resisted and took the strongest healers as prisoners. Those of us who escaped..." She gestured to herself. "We scattered, went into hiding. I have been moving between neutral territories ever since, trying to stay ahead of those who still hunt us."Vera shifted uncomfortably by the door. "You are saying there are people actively hunting Silvercrest bloodlines? Still?""Oh yes," Elara said darkly. "A healer can be worth more than gold to the right buyer. Imagine having someone who could keep your warriors fighting through injuries that should kill them. Or someone who could cure poison, making you nearly immune to assassination." Her eyes found Korra's again. "Or someone who could be forced to heal your enemies just enough to interrogate them over and over without letting them die."Kael's hand tightened painfully o

But Korra couldn't stop; the light pouring from her felt like lightning trapped inside her veins, burning through every nerve. She could feel the pendant against her chest pulsing in rhythm with her heartbeat, amplifying her power until the air itself seemed to shimmer with energy.The Collector's laughter echoed through the clearing, triumphant and hungry. "Yes! Show me everything you're capable of, little Silvercrest!"Through the haze of power and growing panic, she heard Kael groaning from where he had been thrown, saw the controlled rogues advancing on her pack's warriors, watched the corrupted wards flickering like dying stars above the village.Everything she loved was under threat. And this time, fear wasn't going to paralyze her."You want to see what I can do?" Korra's voice came out stronger than she had ever heard it, resonating with power that made the Collector's smile falter slightly. "Fine. But you are going to regret it."She didn't think about technique or control or

"Lucien," Korra said flatly. "He was there. Somehow, he was there and stole this right from under the Collector's nose.""Or he's working with them, and this is part of an elaborate trap," Rhyker countered, but even he didn't sound fully convinced.Korra stared at the ledger, feeling the pendant pulse against her chest as if recognizing something in the ancient book."There's only one way to find out if this is real," she said, reaching for the ledger.The moment her fingers touched the cover, pain lanced through her hand. She gasped, jerking back, but it was too late. Blood welled from a tiny cut on her palm, a cut that hadn't been there before, and dripped onto the ledger's cover.The book absorbed the blood like parched earth drinking rain, then it began to glow.Silvercrest runes materialized across the cover, shifting and rearranging themselves. With a soft click, the book fell open to the first page.And what Korra saw there made her blood run cold.Names, hundreds of names, org

The next morning, Korra returned to training despite Elara's protests. If she was going to Eastern Ridge, she needed to be sharp, both physically and mentally.But when she arrived at the training yard, she found it packed with Academy students rather than her usual warrior trainers. Apparently, word of her battle with the Collector had spread, and now everyone wanted to see the "Luna candidate who moved like lightning."Liora stood at the center of a cluster of upper-year students, her expression cold as she watched Korra approach. The other girl had been notably absent since the battle, probably lying low after Lucien's warning."Well, well," Liora said loudly enough for everyone to hear. "The hero returns. Tell me, Korra, is it true you can't use your power anymore? That you're... compromised?"Korra's hand instinctively went to her palm, where Elara's runes were hidden beneath a leather glove. How did Liora know? Had she been spying again?"I'm fine," Korra said evenly. "And I'm h
