Complete story — includes the ending

After Aang 's death, the Order of the White Lotus discovers the new Avatar, Korra, in the Southern Water Tribe. By the age of 17, Korra has mastered waterbending, earthbending, and firebending, but cannot yet airbend. Kept under lock and key by White Lotus for her own protection, she is frustrated by her isolation from the rest of the world, and anticipates completing her training with Master Tenzin, the son of Katara and Aang, and the only airbending master. However Tenzin also serves on the council of the United Republic (a nation created by Avatar Aang and Firelord Zuko ) and civil unrest in the capital, Republic City, forces him to postpone her training. Unwilling to live under the strict confines of her life with the White Lotus anymore, Korra absconds from her compound on her polar bear-dog Naga and stows away on a vessel bound for Republic City. After a clash with triads, she is arrested by Republic City's metalbending police force, until Tenzin bails her out and allows her to stay with him. Meanwhile, the anti-bender "Equalist" movement's numbers are swelling due to inequities between benders and non-benders and its extremist militant arm is beginning to kidnap benders.
