{First Person POV}

Early that next morning, after finding myself awake and unable to go back to sleep, I decided to go outside and find a cozy spot by the ocean to meditate. I creaked open the temple doors, trying to make very little sound. As I finally shut the door back with a sigh of relief I began walking toward the sand.

"Good morning, (Y/n)."

I let out a scream as I jumped.

"Oh, it's only you. Good morning, Zane. You scared me to death," I said with a sigh. I came face to face with the silver ninja. He was also meditating, maintaining closed eyes and a body perfectly still.

"My apologies. It was unintended," he said back, not losing his focus.

"I'll just go find another place to meditate," I said after a beat of uncomfortable silence.

"You may stay here if you'd like," he offered.

"Oh... Okay. I didn't know nindroids meditated."

"I've been doing it long before I found out I was a nindroid. I suppose I just never stopped even after. May we be quiet now?" He asked politely.

"Yeah, sorry." I set a cup of tea I had made on the ground in the sand next to where I sat, the aroma filling my nose. This morning I had chosen a jasmine tea blend, another one of my favorites.

I found myself struggling to stay still as I meditated, probably attributed to the situation we were all in. I did my best to clear my head, and after what felt like forever I finally found my mind calming itself, my body following suit. Zane and I sat not too close to each other and did this for about an hour and a half before the others on the island began to wake up.

"We will not find much more peace," Zane said. "Jay is about to wake up." I laughed at this, although I'm not sure if it was intended to be a joke.

"Well thank you for allowing me into your meditation space," Zane nodded in response, and I soon found that he was right, Jay's voice was heard by everyone outside when he emerged from the temple.

It wasn't too long after that we all worked on decommissioning the ways off the island, so Chen couldn't escape no matter where he was. Jay was yelling, and some people cheered. I felt calm. This morning really helped me feel rested and ready for the day, despite continuing to get little sleep.

"No one's getting off this island!" Jay exclaimed as the Master of Nature sunk the ferry that brought us here in the first place. We had guards of Chen tied up as others led a search party looking for Chen.

"Still no sign of Chen and Clouse," Cole said as he walked up to the group I was standing in with the other ninja.

"What about Skylar?" Kai asked with anticipation. Cole shook his head sadly.

"She wasn't able to pick her family, but she was able to pick her friends. And since you're her friend, that means so are we. We'll find her," Lloyd said, trying to help Kai. this brought a small smile to her face as the other ninja crowded around him.

"He's right. With no way off the island, it'll only be a matter of time," Cole added.

"I'm proud of you five," Garmadon walked up to the group of ninjas. I began to walk away, as this was not a conversation for me.
