   Summary

   (a one-shot prequel in the world of “the prodigy.”)

   175 AG.

   having been imprisoned for six months, kuvira is a tattered, beaten remnant of anything she once was, overtaken by grief and insanity. reliving every second of her misdeeds, imagining every worst case scenario as to the fate of her daughter, who was torn from her without a word.

   unsuspectedly, a visitor comes for her, after months of silence, korra only serves as a painful reminder of the promises both of them failed to fulfill. she only has to wonder what is demanded of her now.
