Chapter 5: Resolution
The following day, the throbbing hum of the island continued to cast its spell upon the three women. Melodies entwined with sighs and whispers, casting a seductive rhythm that found its way into their dreams and remained omnipresent within their consciousness.
Morning sun drenched the outskirts of their hut, drawing the fine lines of the sand beneath trailing fingers, intertwining each grain into a glimmering web of sunlight.
From the corner of her entranced gaze, Korra could see Asami stirring slowly. The sun cast a warm, shimmering halo upon her, as it reached in and nestled softly in the recesses of Korra's heart.
She lingered in the beauty of the moment before gently shaking Juliet, her other companion, who remained buried deep within the dreamworld's tender embrace. With the slightest tug-of-war with Juliet's conscience, she woke with a sleepy smile.
A slow and tender yawn escaped her as each corner of her mouth curled open, her breath gently tickling Korra's skin.
"Morning," Juliet said groggily, her voice soothing and warm like morning dew on the first blades of grass.
"Morning," Korra whispered back, squeezing Juliet's hand as her eyes searched the island's horizon. She reveled in the memories from last night, still as mesmerizing as the sun-kissed waves making their way to the shore.
