Image was generated using AI, showing my vision of what the "mysterious stranger" looks like- I no longer condone the use of AI art generators or use them myself, but felt this was still important to disclose as the photo is still posted here.

"I am your father, Camila.."
Circuit stared at the man before her; he looked like a strapping young man with his pale white hair covering his shoulders, the dusted shadow of his chin and cheeks, and the furrowed eyebrows that pushed to fight back the light tear drops escaping his gaze. He wore robes of a similar style to her own with the same silver and red linings. He took in a deep breath and looked to the painting in her hands.
"..I see you were in my office.."
She didn't know how to reply, and only looked back to the picture. She held it up, comparing the man to the "Arthur" in the painting-
"Circuit, what's that?"
Nya noticed it, she looked shocked. Without breaking eye contact with the strange gentleman Circuit replied,
"Zane and I found this in the tower. It's a picture with my sister's name on it."
"That's your family..?"
Jay leaned in,
"Aaw, is that you?!"
"That's Camila. My sister."
The silver robed man froze, his face suddenly grew serious and glare cold..
"..No, you are Camila. That is you in the painting."
Circuit's eyes widened,
"So who is-"
"You are Camila Rain Dryden. Your sister is Maeve Mary Dryden. Do you truly not remember?"
"I'm the older sister..?"
"Yes. You are my first born and heiress."
The ninja exchanged awkward glances. Sensei Wu took in a deep breath, stepping forward to Circuit's side and placing a hand on her shoulder. He asked,
"Heiress?"
Arthur stood up,
"Well I am king after all!"
He gestured for everyone to follow him back inside the castle.
"I will be happy to explain everything. Please, this way."

Arthur lead the group back into the darkened ruins, leading them up to the highest floor. He took a torch from a wall sconce then fumbled around looking for a lighter..
"..I got it."
Kai lit the torch with his palm, the fire raged for a second then quickly dimmed into submission. Arthur looked at him surprised but didn't question it. His eyes squinted in thought as his expression quickly let them all know he understood exactly what was going on..
Jay leaned over to Zane next to him and whispered in his ear,
"Kai used his powers and he didn't say anything!"
"I think he already knows who we are, Jay.."
"I don't know guys, people don't just appear claiming to be your long-lost dad like that. I have a bad feeling.."
