How to Train Your Dragonblood

Welcome to Ninjago

Our story takes place in the island city of Ninjago. It sat nine days east of hopelessness and a few degrees west of death. It was located solidly on the meridian of misery. The island surrounded by fog and a couple of giant warrior statues with bright fires burning in their open mouths. The island city, in a word, was pretty dull and sturdy. Ninjago wasn't anything too big, in fact, it was only just large enough to be called a city. There were several structures, houses, and a few farms to feed the people.

The city and its people had been here for nearly over nine generations but mostly everything built on the island was new.

The people of Ninjago had fishing, hunting, and a charming view of the sunsets. The only problems in Ninjago city are the pests. You see, most places might have a few pesky mice or mosquitoes, but the people of Ninjago city had dragonbloods. Most people would leave as soon as they possibly could. The fine people of Ninjago would never abandon their home, however. The people of Ninjago were naturally born warriors. These people had a lot of trouble dealing with defeat and they also had a few stubbornness issues.

Unfortunately, even though there as plenty of colorful characters on this island city, our story focused on only one particular person.

This specific person's name was Jay. Jay was a shy teenager with reddish-brown curly hair with brown eyebrows and light freckles with dark blue eyes. He usually wore a blue jacket with a white stripe over a white t-shirt and blue pants with an orange wooly scarf. Jay let out a heavy sigh as he slumped onto his bed in his home in the center of Ninjago. It had been a very long workday in Ninjago for him and all he wanted to do was sleep for a month.

All of a sudden his whole house was shook so violently it caused him to nearly fell off his bed.

Jay panicked and ran over to the front door to see what was going on out there. When he opened it he had barely a second to slam the door shut before a ball of fire hit him. It was yet another dragonblood attack. Although they could appear to be humans, dragonbloods held elemental powers along with the powerful and dangerous ability to transform into a rampaging dragon. These beasts loved to use their powers and dragon forms to plunder and pillage human homes to steal food and supplies.

Most of the world had grown to fear these terrifying creatures, including the people of Ninjago.

Jay quickly ran out of the now burning house and saw more than a dozen different dragonbloods flying around Ninjago, causing chaos. They were flying through the village blowing fire and stealing food while the people tried to stop them. Jay suddenly tripped up and fell right into Cliff Gordon, the leader of the village. Cliff Gordon had smooth, jet black hair, sharp pale blue eyes, and a thin black mustache. He wore light silver armor and had a stern look on his aged face.

They say when he was a baby, he knocked a dragonblood's head clean off its shoulders and Jay believed that was true.

"Jay?! What the hell are you doing here?! Get back inside!" He exclaimed and pushed the teen forward as one of the villagers ran over.

"We've got Earth dragons, Wind dragons, Poison dragons, and Daisy said she saw an Ice dragon by the docks." The villager explained as a blast of energy just barely missed them.

"Any Fire dragons?" Cliff asked as his eyes searched the dark, smoking night sky.

"Nothing yet."...

As Jay ran through the chaos, he saw two enormous torches being raised and lit and a few of the dragonbloods swarmed around them. Jay ran into a blacksmith shop and put on an apron. The couple who owned the blacksmith shop was named Ed and Edna Walker and they were both already there, working hard. They were like second parents to Jay and had taught him everything they'd known. They were responsible for supplying all of Ninjago with all their tools and weapons, especially during a dragonblood attack.
