New generation benders

Herkio got a bit pale, the spiritworld? He had never known much about spirits...and well now he had gotten one that tortued him almost. And where was he by the way? He hadn't come after him again. He looked up and listened to the calm spirit. It sounded logical, pretty logical atleast. "Yeah..I thought I would never get away from them..". He then looked around them. "Are we going to get out from here? I don't know much about the spiritworld..Not to enter it and not how to get from it".
A smile formed on his face as the spirit continued to talk. He then heard her talk about the south pole. "Well...I'm from the South pole. I'm guessing we're going there someday. But I have no idea where we are traveling right now".

"Oh yes, you're going to get out. Whenever you like, actually. I believe Bipin has already returned. Korra would have sent him off already." She said, speaking as if she was talking about the weather. "You aready look like yourselves in my eyes." Ela looked down on herself again, yeah... at least she looked older. Why?
"You should go to the South Pole, the spirits there are kinder, softer and the chiefs father will be able to help you with your spirits." She said happily and smiled kindly at them. She was... so pure. "You should know, young man." She suddenly sounded like she reprimanded Herkio... in this lecturing but not completely evil way.

Herkio nodded slowly. That was good atleast. But he was still unsure about how to get out from the spiritworld. Hopefully it was simple, he had a feeling that he wouldn't be able to do it if it was too complicated, he was already tired. He then looked down at himself, he looked almost like himself again. He looked up at the woman again as she continued to talk about the South Pole. His home...So long time since he had been there. He missed his family a bit. "Yeah, I know..:". Though he had never really talked much to the chief or the spirit leader. "By the way..:Will my evil spirit follow me out?" he asked, a bit worried.

Ela was listening to them, but suddenly she felt like... leaving. She wanted to leave, she wanted to get out. She had nothing to do here.
"Hey, I think I'm..."
Ela woke up. Blinked several times.

The woman knelt in front Herkio when Ela woke up. She smiled at Herkio.
"Stay calm, you'll get out soon enough." She said. "Yes... it will." When she said this she got sadder. "It's in there..." She hovered her hand over his forehead. "... and in there." She moved her hand down to where his heart is. "But the chiefs father can help you with it. Tell him Kushala sent you, we're old friends." She continued kindly and drew her hand back.
"Now, you just wake up." She finished and was back to her happy, peaceful aura again.

Herkio looked scared as Ela suddenly disappeared. "Ela!" he said, almost panicked. He didn't want to be alone in here. Sure he had the woman and other spirits, but he needed someone he knew. And he didn't want to be in there at all.
He looked up at the woman as she knelt in front of him, her smile comforted him some. She actually reminded him of his mother a bit. "Okay" he said with a weak voice and then followed her hand as it hovered over his chest. "Can he?". He bit his lip. He had to try, he didn't want the spirit to stay with him any longer than it had to. "I will tell him that, thank you".

And in the next moment he woke up, groaning slightly. "Ela?" he mumbled as he sat up, his head hurt a bit. He looked up and saw his spirit standing there, gloomy and angry. But it didn't do anything, it just stood there.

"Herkio!" Ela was sitting right next to him, her spirit was looming over her, like a black shadow. But Ela was busy. Ryuu popped up.
"We found you in the middle of the woods, everyone out cold. Ikal thought you had fought or something." Ryuu said grinning like the lunatic he was. Hye came by.
"He's gone now though, said something about needing to return to Daya, Akane and his group." She said all matter-of-fact.
Bipin came too.
"I... uh... tried to explain where we were... but it was hard." He said in an apologizing tone.

Herkio quickly turned towards Ela and relaxed. "Oh thank the spirits...". He relaxed now when they all seemed to be save". He then looked up at Ryuu and frowned a bit as he heard his words. "Well, we haven't fought exactly". Running in the spiritworld like children to be more exact.
He looked at Bipin. "You were there too?" he asked and slowly stood up. He felt the gaze from the spirit, it burned in his back. It was then he remembered. "We have to go to the South Pole!" he said and helped Ela up. "The spirit said the chief could help me to get rid of my spirit...Perhaps yours too Ela".

"Yeah, they said you probably wouldn't know I was th... the South Pole?" Bipin asked confused.
"Wait, what spirits?" Hye asked and got pale. She did not like spirits after that water spirit. "Since when are you getting rid of spirits!?" Hye continued angrily.
"Hold up... what's this about?" Ryuu continued and Bipin looked down on the ground.
"I don't know any details..." Bipin said hesitantly.
Ela gulped. She hadn't told any of them about it... well... Herkio of course. They only knew basics about it... not even back home they hadn't really known anything. Only that she was being sacrificed because of spirits. Did any of them even know of Herkios spirit?
"I carry around a powerful spirit who... uh... wants... something. It's not nice." She said simply. "But I never heard of anything to get rid of it with..." She continued.

Herkio nodded quickly. He understood that he had to try and explain all this before the other bombed him with questions. But he was too late. He sighed deeply and put up his hands to make them quiet.
"Just listen to me. You maybe dosen't know. But since we were on the North Pole a spirit has...been with me. He actually tortures me sometimes to be honest. I want to get rid of it. And just a moment ago we were in the spiritworld. A kind spirit there told us to go to the South Pole to solve that problem". He took a deep breath after talking and then turned to Ela.
"Well I'm not sure if the chief can help you...But it's worth a shot" he smiled to her and hugged her again. "And I will get to meet my family again".

"And you knew this?" Ryuu instantly turned to Bipin.
"No details! I just see them!" Bipin quickly defended himself.
"You have one of those freakthings too?" Hye turned to Ela just as she was hugged. "Good to know that the one who can melt my face off is house for a monster." She continued visibly annoyed with it.
"Why don't you fix it, then? You're the avatar!" Ryuu said angrily to Bipin. Who had raised is hand in a defending position.
"Yeah! Why don't you? I haven't even seen you go into the Avatar state!" Hye turned around and was now turning his annoyment towards Bipin. Actually, she had a good point. He claims he was in the spirit world... but when the Avatar was in the spirit-world he should've taken control. That's how Ela had read it worked anyway, they had the most power.
"I... uhm... I've concentrated on the element-training." Bipin defended himself.
"You already seem to know how to do any and all elements after just a couple hours of training but you can't go into the avatar-state?" Hye rambled.
"Calm down!" Ryuu exclaimed before continuing to argue with Hye.
