Episode 1: I Think I Love Him

Episode 21: Rescuing Our Saviour

[Coles POV]

So I didn't have a reflection, but that's okay, because I was a ghost anyways. That's surely the reason.

I'm happy everyone else gets to see their future though.

Kai said he was some sort of blacksmith, Zane saw himself with PIXAL, but Jay, he was only quiet about his future.

I make my way over to him, not bothering to let him protest as I pull him aside.

"Are you alright bluebell, you haven't talked for like 2 mins."

I give him a goody smile, which he doesn't return.

"Yeah, no I'm fine. I just... Can we talk about this later...?"

His voice is drifting off, his eyes adverting their gaze from mine.

Something was seriously wrong, but I wasn't going to push the subject.

"Yeah, okay, that's.. that's fine with me."

He gives a saddened, yet confident smile before he makes his way to the others.

I'm left standing alone, at the back of the group.

What did Jay see?

As the team make their way through the ice maze, in search of the tomb, I stumble upon someone I didn't wish to see.

Morro.

Logically, I should have run, but instead I stopped in my tracks, abandoning my team, aiming to talk to him.

"Foolish ninja, you think you can take me in by yourself."

"No, I know I can't. I just have a question."

I slowly approach his, as he lowers his guard. From what Kai was saying, he wasn't the worst guy we've ever encountered, and I decided to see if he was right.

It was just him and I.

"We're not so different, you and I. We're both ghosts. We're both trying to do our best for those around us. So here's what I don't understand, how'd you end us so broken?"

Morro didn't respond straight away, his head looking down in search of the right words.

"Wu made me believe I could have been what Lloyd is. He took me in when I was most vulnerable, and made me believe I could be the best."

I only stare at him as he continues.

"And you can imaging what it's like to be 10 and being told you're not good enough because some weapons didn't light up for you. Nothing I did was good enough for Wu after that. It didn't matter how hard I tried, I was an outcast after I wasn't the green ninja."

By this point, were both sitting on the cold floor, face to face.

"And so I spent the next 7 years trying to prove him wrong. I thought I could be reckless and let 'destiny' guide me. I was really pathetic for that one, because now look at me. I'm dead, and the only way I can feel important again, to feel like I'm the chosen one, is to serve the preeminent, to set her free."

He takes a deep breath before continuing.

"I know it's wrong. I know I'm the bad guy. I know that's I'm doing this for a silly reason, but I think..."

He can't finish his sentence, almost like he doesn't know what his ambitions are, so I finish it for him.

"You think if you prove yourself, you'll finally feel free."

Morro looks me dead in the eye, almost like he's reading my mind.

"... Yeah, exactly that."

He gets us, drawing his sword. For the first time in a while, I was scared.
