Elemental Encanto

Earth Pressure

Okay wow this chapter is way too long. I considered splitting it into two chapters but then again I felt like it would be better as one whole chapter.

And just to make sure no one gets confused, the singing ia written separately in italics.

Anyhoo, enjoy!

The sunlight crept over the mountains around the Encanto. The morning was making its presence clear with its warmth and light that spread all around the town. The birds were chirping their morning songs in the trees and the early risers were beginning with their normal routines.

In the nursery that now held only one bed inside of it, light snoring and mumbling could clearly be heard. A gentle breeze was coming in from the ajar window, allowing the room to be filled with cool, humid air.

Lloyd was sleeping in his bed, all snuggled up and tangled in the sheets. His goal was definitely not to look graceful. He was only enjoying the warmth he was wrapped in and the divine feeling of having your eyes closed while being able to see the most unrealistic things in the shape of dreams.

Lloyd had stayed up most hours of the night, brainstorming to make a plan on how to get some information from Morro without the teen in question starting to suspect anything. Alas, he hadn't gotten much sleep until a few hours ago. So, his eyes were practically glued shut now.

All of Lloyd's enjoyment and relaxation was rudely interrupted by the nursery door that was burst open with great vehemence. It sounded like a nuclear bomb exploding. This startled the teen, making him jump and fall out of bed. Apparently his eyes were not glued shut well enough, because they shot wide open.

"Lloyd!"

The said blond groaned, rubbing the back of his head he had hit on the wooden floor. He squinted his eyes in an attempt to see the figure before him more clearly. Once he did, he rolled his tired eyes.

"Morro..." Lloyd uttered the name of his pure evil cousin.

"C'mon, you're still sleeping?" Morro asked, crossing his arms. He was already dressed up in his dark green and black training gi with a dark green dragon pattern going across it.

"Yeah?" The blond replied tiredly rubbing his eyes.

"It's 7 a.m!"

It took Lloyd a good few seconds to go through Morro's words in his head and understand the meaning of them. Once he realized what his cousin had just said, he gasped and stumbled up on his feet.

"7 a.m?! Why did you come earlier?!" He shouted. He quickly grabbed his glasses, putting them on and rushing to his closet to get his training gi.

"I didn't think you'd need someone to come and drag you out of bed." Morro stated. "But apparently-"

"Okay okay, got it." The blond interrupted while pulling a couple of socks on his feet. "Did Abuelo say something?"

"Other than those one hundred times he said that he will spank you for being late again? No." The older boy said in response.

Lloyd sighed. He was in so much trouble. Their morning training always started at 6.30 a.m, which alone was already insane, but in addition to that, everyone was expected to be on time to the second. Unlike the rest of the family seemed to be whenever they had morning training, Lloyd was not an early riser. He was like Garmadon, who had always slept in. Always with no exceptions.

The blond put on his gi once his cousin had stepped out of the room. His gi was very similar to Morro's with the difference of having the colours in the opposite way. While Morro's gi was mostly black with green details, Lloyd's gi was mostly green with black details, including the black dragon pattern on the torso.
