This takes place any time after book 6!! Small spoilers for book 5

Lloyd stepped outside. He saw the orange, red and golden leaves swaying in the air as Morro practiced his forms. But it looked strange. None of the Ninja, nor Master Wu used that form. Lloyd gazed down from the Bounty. He seem to try and study too closely and the leaves were blown in his face.

"Ah--k-pfttt!!" Lloyd spat out a leaf.
"What's that for?" He asked.

'You have something to say?'
Morro crossed his arms.

"Who's form is that?" Lloyd pointed down.
"What I was practicing?" Morro asked. Lloyd nodded.
"Nagare." Morro replied.
"Stream?" Lloyd translated. Morro nodded.

"Created by me."

Lloyd jumped to the ground, ready. He raised his fists. Morro nodded. He guided Lloyd's hands along the air.
"Nagare. Stream. Basically my element." Morro said.
"If you've ever seen me use this in a real battle--"

"It's mostly defensive." Lloyd said.
"I've been meaning to ask for a while now." He smiled. Morro simply scoffed.

"The point is to redirect an attack. You take the stream and point it somewhere else." Morro pulled Lloyd's hands outwards, then in and sliding to the side.
"I started working on it after Stiix." Morro said.
"On the Wailing Alps, Neran encouraged me to stop the winds. It worked. Eventually. But what I did wrong was try to face it like I wasn't the Master of Wind." Morro let go of Lloyd's hands.
"Show me your Earth stance." Morro asked.

Lloyd tilted his head. He rested before raised his hands again. His right foot was forwards as his left was back. His arms were almost beside him, closed fists. Morro copued Lloyd's stance.
"What I tried to do was face it head on. Like I was Cole or something." Morro said. He pushed his left hand out with force. How Cole would usually push a boulder or so forwards.

"So instead, when I am a Master of Wind..." Morro moved his feet a bit closer together. Lloyd copied. Morro opened Lloyd's closed fists.
"Instead of stopping it, I redirected it else where." Morro said.

The Wind Ninja turned to the fallen leves. He used his wind to pick them up. Morro took that new stance Lloyd learned and took a deep breath. Morro carefully stepped forwards and began a demonstration. A demonstration of making his way through the shower of orange colours by using his wind to pull or push every leaf away. They softly drifted in the stream of wind that Morro set, not one touching him.

A leaf came towards Lloyd. He raised his hand and softly moved the leaf away as Morro finished.
"So. Does that mean..." Lloyd started. Morro smiled

"I owe it all to Neran."
