How to Train Your Dragonblood

A New World

When Jay finally regained consciousness a week later, the first thing he noticed was the body that had somehow managed to worm itself into his bed and under his arm, head resting on his chest. The spikey brown hair in his face gave its owner away and Jay felt breath get caught in his throat. Kai sat up quickly and almost pulling the smaller teen's arm off with him.

"Ouch," Jay muttered under my breath, but upon hearing his voice Jay could swear Kai's eyes teared up as he wrapped his arms around his human friend in a crushing hug.

"Jaybird! You're alive!"

"Hey, hothead." Jay grinned weakly. Kai quickly regained his composure and let Jay go, dropping him back onto the bed which was a lot harder than it looked. Jay sat back up and put a hand on his back wincing, looking around, realizing that Cliff had repainted the walls of their home with red and blue walls, the colors clashing badly. Jay had no idea what on earth was his father was thinking when he painted the walls that color.

"Obviously he has no taste in color, I've seen better color co-ordination in bird poop," Kai mumbled under his breath and Jay smiled, their link was still obviously working until he noticed the problem.

"I'm in my house."

"The horribly colored house, yes."

"You're in my house?"

"What's the big deal?"

"You're in my house! Does my Dad know you're here? Come on we need to hide you!" He exclaimed as he made to get off the bed, but cried out when he felt a sudden pain in his left leg. He lost his balance and ended up throwing himself off the bed. Kai ran over though, catching him before he hit the ground.

"Sorry, my balance is off." He said frowning. Something about his left leg didn't feel right. Actually, Jay couldn't feel the lower half of his leg at all. Some far part of his mind registered Kai telling him not to freak out, but he glanced down anyway. Jay saw that his left leg up to his shin was replaced with a metal prosthetic. The prosthetic leg was made out of metal and wood. The wooden section, which acted like his ankle, was attached to his leg while the metal part, which acted as his foot, was hooked onto the wood.

It was constructed with a spring system and an adapter stirrup for flying with Kai.

There was also a spring inside to act as a shock absorber. Jay's eyes widened as his brain started to register that his left foot was gone. The foot he used to control Kai's tailfin was gone. He looked away shaking and tried to focus on my breathing as Kai helped him stand up straight. He leaned against the brunette for balance, trying to figure out how he was ever going to get used to this.

"I'm sorry Jay..." He heard Kai whispered as he looked away uncomfortably and Jay's eyes widened.

"It's not your fault Kai! Don't blame yourself." He insisted and Kai smiled at him half-heartedly as he helped the ginger-haired teen downstairs. When they finally made it, Jay opened the front door and then proceed to slam it on Morro's face by instinct. Kai choked back a laugh as they heard Morro swear and Jay opened it slowly to see Zane grinning at him sheepishly.

"Jay you're finally awake!" He cried as he hugged his friend awkwardly but Jay was too busy trying to look over his shoulder to what was once his home town of Ninjago. Lloyd was playing leapfrog with a few children other dragonbloods. Cole was shouting at Rocky and a Metal Dragonblood to move a post a little to the right, the two dragonbloods happily obliging. Plundar was Adam and a few other dragonbloods a tour. The clock tower struck noon and people poured out of the grand hall, but when Jay looked harder it was impossible to miss Nya's tanned skin and jet black hair.

Dareth ran out to do something else and Tox followed him, looking very bored. Watching all the dragonbloods and people mingling, Jay had no other explanation.
