Shocking Revelation

Heather sat beside Korra's bed. She was watching her unconscious daughter sleep. Even though she knew Korra was safe, she still couldn't help but worry. After about three hours, Korra begun to stir. Her eyes fluttered open.
Seeing this, Heather jumped unto the bed and hugged her daughter roughly.
"Oh... My baby! How are you feeling"
"Urgh.... Mum you are killing me!"
"Oh! I am so sorry" Heather said as she quickly let her go.
"How are you feeling?"
"Well.... My head hurts."
"Is there anything I can do to help with the pain?"
"Can you let me rest?"
"Oh! Sure, sure!"
Heather gave her daughter a quick kiss on the forehead and walked out.
Korra sighed as the door closed.
'Hah... I just can't handle that woman's love! It pisses me off!.... But I won't lie.... I think I don't want to kill her as much as before'
In Korra's past life, she was an orphan and had never experienced parental love. Even so, she had grown among good friends that upheld righteousness. After all, Supreme Demon Ren Song used to be one of the most righteous cultivators before he turned evil.
His transformation was due to a realization he had. An epiphany that showed him how futile his quest for righteousness was. When he completely transformed to the evil side, he joined a demonic cult. And he loved it.
He loved all the evil things he could do to satisfy his mortal desire. That was his dao and enlightenment. The absolute desire to satisfy his flesh and debauchery. However ever since she came here, her demeanor towards her 'parents' was getting better. It wasn't that she suddenly liked them or anything, it is just that she did not want to kill them as much.
But Korra was sure of one thing, the fact that she was warming up to her 'parents' is not of her will. It probably has something to do with the influence of the original owner's soul on her own soul. It was like both their souls were slowly integrating. Judging by the way things were going, if she did not do something soon her soul would change in an irreversible way.
'Hihihihi... It seems you've finally noticed!'
Korra suddenly heard a giggle. She quickly raised her head and looked around her in a tense manner.
'What was that? Where did it come from? I can't sense anyone's prescence!'
'Hihihi... I am in your head dummy' the cute little voice said in a matter-of-fact manner.
Korra's eyes widened.
"In..... My head?"
"Yes. I'm in your head.... Or rather in my head? Ahhh!!! It is kind of confusing!"
Korra recognized the voice. It was the same as her voice when she spoke! Could it be.... The original owner's soul?
'Yes... That's right!'
"H-how? I thought most of your soul had already been destroyed!"
'Well.... You are not wrong, but you are not right either.'
"What the f**k do you mean by that?" Korra was irritated. This little girl was annoying.
'Humph! Why are you shouting at me? I didn't do anything wrong' the voice said. It was obvious she was pouting even though she did not have a body.
Korra took a deep breath.
'Calm down. She's just a child. I won't be able to get anything out of her if she becomes angry'
"Alright. I'm sorry. So, will you talk to me now?"
'Hmm.... You know I can read your thoughts right? I know you are not actually sorry!'
'Oh, s**t!'
'Hihihi... I heard that too'
Korra's anger was rising.
"Tch. Foolish girl! Do you know who I am? Do you think you can just stay in my head and fool around. I have thousands of advanced soul training techniques, I can easily wipe you out!"
'Is that what you think?' The girl said in a dry and flat tone. Korra was shocked. This was different from her attitude moments ago. The girl was a playful happy child. All of a sudden, she sounded like a queen that was speaking to a peasant.
Korra closed her eyes and calmed down. She knew when to admit defeat. If she did not understand what was happening now, she feared the original owner could take back her body.
"What can I do for you to speak to me?"
'That's what I like to see. Respect. Now, let's get to the important part. I want to speak to you face to face.'
"Face to face? How?"
'Don't worry about that. Just sleep and I'll handle the rest'
Korra hesitated when she heard that. There was no way she was just going to trust this girl. What was more suspicious was the sudden change in the girl's behavior! Korra had all the girl's memories and there was not one memory where she behaved in such a manner. What the hell is going on?
'Do you not want the answers you seek?'
Korra clenched her teeth.
"Fine. Fine"
She then laid back unto the bed and closed her eyes. After a few minutes she fell asleep.
.............
Swish!
Ren Song's soul was sucked into a whirlpool. It was like his soul was being dragged around.
"Wha-what's happening?"
Swish!
A blinding light shone brightly. After a few minutes it calmed down. Ren Song floated in an empty space. It was completely white and stretched out infinitely. He looked down at his body and was surprised to see that he had taken his old form.
His long grey hair fell over his shoulders. His beared made him look like an old sage. His build was masculine and powerful.
"This... Am I in my soul form?"
"That's right" a voice answered from behind him. It was a voice he knew all too well.
"You! I'll kill you!" Like a maniac Ren Song twirled around and jumped towards Korra Wolfhead. The original Korra Wolfhead.
Swish!
He approached her with immense speed. Even so, Korra did not move. She simply watched him approach. When he was near her, she casually raised her hand. Ren Song stopped right in front of her. He could not move.
"You.... What are you?" Ren Song asked through clenched teeth. He was floating before Korra unable to move.
Korra smirked. She had the demeanor of a regal queen that looked down on the entire universe. A queen that could destroy the universe with a thought. Ren Song shivered.
Ren Song had never shivered in the presence of anyone, not even when he was mortal. He was not afraid to face cultivators even as a mortal. But this was different. The person he was facing wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Korra stared straight into Ren Song's eyes and giggled.
"You will know soon enough."
