The Call of Home

Chapter 6

Lloyd's pov:

After leaving the siblings home, Lloyd and his father talked all the way home. But it seemed that Garmadon was more interested with the crazy dream Nya and Lloyd had. Of course Lloyd was too, it wasn't usual for 2 people to have the same dream.

"So.. what exactly happened in that dream of yours?" Garmadon asked

"Well, I'm not sure myself. I just saw me and my friends there, in some kind of center of a city if you could call it that." Lloyd explained himself

"What do you mean by that?" Garmadon asked, clearly he wanted to know more details of that. Lloyd took a moment to collect all the things he could from his dream.

"Well... the place was kind of messed up, there were a lot of buildings there but also some huge rocks that came out of the ground. And a purple cloud I guess was covering all the city" He said. Then he stopped to think for a bit.

"Why do you want to know that?" Lloyd asked while turning to see his father's reaction. It wasn't normal that his dad asked him about his dream, of course, two people having it would make it weird, but it wasn't like that details really mattered. Not unless he was looking for something else.

They had arrived home, so Garmadon stop the car before answering Lloyd.

"Well, it just seems pretty intriguing, so I just wanted to know a bit more" he said finishing with a small smile.

Lloyd didn't bought that, but let it go either way. They both got off the car and enter the house. It was fairly simple, the walls were painted in a pale blue, and you could see the kitchen, living room and the stairs to the second floor from the door. There was a stand with some books aside the stairs. Lloyd passed in front of it but something caught his attention, making him go back to it.

There were some photos of Lloyd with his friends and father. But he never noticed one before.

There, was his father with someone else. The person had blond hair, almost white, a bit shorter than Garmadon but still they kind of looked familiar for some reason. Lloyd couldn't help but stare at it, moments later realization shocked Lloyd.

He had saw this man before. Some kind of image came to him out of the sudden. It was just like in his dream, he was there fighting with his friends and those other 3 guys, but now there were 3 other people! It was a girl, or at least seemed like one, though her sink was of titanium. She looked like one of the other 3 guys he had saw there. They were both nindroids!

She had light green eyes while the guy was taller and had ice blue eyes. This just creeped Lloyd. The other man Lloyd recognized from the photo was super old, he had a large white bear and a flat hat. Finally, there was someone that really creeped Lloyd out. His skin was completely dark, red eyes highlighted from his face.

"Lloyd?" he heard a voice calling his name and taking him out of his thoughts. He turned to see his father staring at him. "Are you alright there?"

"Um, yeah. Just never noticed this picture here. By the way, who is he?" Lloyd asked.

Garmadon headed to Lloyd from the kitchen to see the picture. Lloyd handed it to his father so he could have a better look. Garmadon just took a second to recognize the person there and smiled.

"He is my brother, Wu" Garmadon explained as he looked sweetly at Lloyd.

"I didn't realize you had a brother" he said. Garmadon just laughed at this and left the picture in its original place "Don't you remember that I told you?" He said as he leaved Lloyd alone.

"To be honest I don't" Lloyd said. It was very peculiar how his father's brother looked so similar to the person he had saw in his dream, or well, sudden picture. It was like he was a much older version of his uncle. Now everything was going round in Lloyd's head. He needed to clear this, he needed to know why he had had that dream. What connection did it had with his uncle. Which for his surprise, seemed he didn't remember. But after finding out that Nya had the same dream, it didn't seems totally out of picture. Something was off, and he could feel it.

With that in mind, Lloyd went upstairs to his room and started to note everything on a notebook. Something was wrong, he needed to find out what and how to solve it. Or his conscience wouldn't leave him alone.
