A few days after Korra disappears from Trench, a large package arrives on Luz's doorstep, dropped off by a pair of men. It is a thin crate, well-stuffed with straw, and inside are three things. First, a set of keys. Second, a large object wrapped in Korra's Republic City banner. And, inevitably, third: a letter.
Once the object is unwrapped, it will reveal a stained glass work Korra had worked on in preparation. She had always known that her time might be cut short, one way or another - the Avatars who died peacefully in bed were few and far between, after all, to say nothing of what Trench was like. And she absolutely was not going to leave Luz behind without some sort, some token to remember her by.
Dear Luz,
I'll start with the practical things. If you're reading this, I'm likely gone. Dead, or returned to the sea or whatever it is that happens here. I'm sorry I couldn't stay to see all the great things you'll do, all the adventures you'll have. You'll find the keys to 'Fortress Avatar' in here - the home Asami and I built is yours, to do with as you please. Remember that in an emergency the sub levels have rooms and beds for a few dozen. I also hope the artwork leaves you with fond memories of me. Keep the banner safe to remember me by. Maybe someone will have need of it one day.
But more importantly...
Sprout, I never had a sister. Never knew I wanted a sister. But I'm so glad that I found you, and you became like one to me. You're an amazing person and your talents wow me. You're a true hero, and our friendship means as much to me as family. It's been a strange and twisting path, but I wouldn't change a single step.
I know how hard this place can be. I hope, and pray, that you can keep hold of that wonderful spark that makes you who you are. You've been a light to me in dark times, Luz Noceda, and I hope you never forget how loved you are as a result.
I hope, wherever I am, that I keep your memory with me, and the lessons you taught me. Knowing you has meant so very much, and maybe somehow we will meet again one day. I will hope for it, and hope for all the best for you. May the blessings of the Spirits be yours, every day of your life.
