Korra: I looked down at Amon, reveling in my victory. And then I heard him whisper: “Mako, I love you. Please forgive me.” Then he was on me, fingers digging into my face. As Amon’s secrets played out in my head, I finally began to understand. I saw his nemesis, a beast intent on extinguishing all life. In those early days, Amon could’ve used his powers to stop it…but instead he fled with his family, leaving others to fend for themselves. Hunted for years, Amon and his family watched as the rest of the world turned to waste…and then it was too late, too late to fight, too late to save anyone. In that moment of failure and grief, he used his newest and most dangerous power…he went on a one way trip back in time by using "Timebending", attempting to rewrite history…Amon seized control of the Equalists and accelerated the group's development. Decades spent plotting an attack, organizing the group, finding me. Yet the thing that drove him forward, Amon’s sole link to the past, was a picture from his wedding day…when he, or rather she, married Mako, with Tenzin as her best man. My brain lurched, unable to accept that Amon and I were the same person…that she’d come back in time to mold me into the savior she failed to be. Going so far as to kill the man she loved, I loved, so that I wouldn’t be tied down by emotions. No, Amon wanted me strong, ruthless…so that when I faced the beast I’d be capable of making impossible decisions…all for the common good. And then Amon fell back, dead. Her final message, my final message, burned into my brain. I took one last look down at myself, my future self, and turned away, the rage curdling inside. I hate everything about Amon. But when the time comes, I will be ready.
