The Earth Queen is dead by my hand.
Korra went into the Avatar State and brought down the ring walls. It was a terrifying display of raw power, you would have loved it.
Kyoshi’s blunder has finally been neutralized, their base under Lake Laogai turned to slag. We’re not sure what to do about the remaining Joo Dees, but Korra hopes there may be a way to use energybending to reverse their conditioning.
I'm sure Kuvira has already sent you one of her exhaustive reports so I won't bore you with the details, suffice it to say that apart from the walls themselves the city sustained no significant damage and civilian casualties have been negligible. (Well, save for a few nobles of course.) The Lu Chao stepped up just as predicted, further outside intervention will not be necessary.
Korra and I hope to return as soon as the city has been stabilized, Agni knows we could use a vacation. We're better than ever by the way, though don't repeat that to Rui or she'll never stop pestering me about great-grandchildren. (Truly, I beg you.)
Oh, and do send the former Fire Lord my best. I’m smiling as I picture the look on her face when you inform her of this, I expect a full recounting of her threats and obscenities when I see you next.
All my love,
Asami
