Prologue

Kai's POV

Nya jumps of Flame
"Nya" I say
"This is goodbye, isn't it?" Nya asks sadly. I nod
"Come back to me in one piece, Okay? I don't want to have to run the store on my own" Nya says a bit jokingly.

"I promise. I won't be gone for long" I reassure her.
"I'll keep a candle lit outside your shop until you return"

That was the last things I ever heard of her. My babysister. My last living relative.

It's been three years now. Her words kept echoing in my ears.

"I'll keep a candle lit outside your shop until you return"

Every year I light a candle for her. Now I am the one hopes for her to return in one piece and I'm the one who's candle has been burning for so long.
Ever since I sometimes have suicidal thoughts.

Even though me and the Ninja saved the city so many time already, we weren't able to save her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kai are you ok?" I jump out of my thoughts at the sound of a familiar voice. It was Cole's.
"Yeah, yeah sure. Why" I lie. "Oo..kay because you seem kinda distant lately. So we were just talking about..." Cole trails off seeing that I'm not listening anymore. "KAI!!" I jump from Jay's voice scaring the heck outta me. " This is important. So will you just get out your thoughts and--" He continues but gets interrupted by Lloyd. "Are you sure everything is ok? You can tell me if something is bothering you" he puts a little smile on his face.

"It's just..." I trail off thinking about if I should lie or not "It's just... today three years ago--"
"Nya went missing. We know" Lloyd continues for me his face getting a little sad. "Yes. And haven't gone back to the smithy to light a candle yet. It...it just feels wrong but we have to focus on saving the city first. The hands of time don't sleep and neither should we." I sigh.

Now Zane walks up to me "Kai, we can handle for a couple of hours. You can go light your Candle." He smiles at me

"Really? Oh you guys are just the best" I say happily pulling the guys in for a tight hug before I go pack my things and leave for my parents blacksmith shop.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I barely arrive at the blacksmith shop on my blade cycle, and nostalgia already hit me. I get of and just stand there. "It's been awhile now, smithy. One year. C'mon you can do this kai" I talk to myself. It's so hard to walk in there because, I always feel like I abandoned this place. So every year I don't just light a candle, but I also clean the shop. A bit of dusting and cleaning can't do any harm right. This is the only place where I enjoy cleaning, because it makes me feel close to my relatives.

When I'm done cleaning I sit down with pictures of my family members and pray a little. (yes some of the characters believe in god) I also talk to them or more like to their pictures.

"Hi Mom and Dad. How are you. I'm fine. I hope you are in a safe place right now. I just wanted to say that I still think about you and love you. And to you Nya: I love you too and hope that you're in a safe place right now."
I finish the rest in my head because I feel kinda watched and when I'm done after 4 hours I go home.
