hanging around, hitting the ground, dead in the water
sucking it up, fucking it up, a favourite daughter
taking a swing, everything going 'round in circles
taking a hit, this is it, i'm over it

Aye chapter thirty!! Last time this was the end of the book.
Only 10 more chapters until the possession arc is finished <heavy sobs>
"Y/N M/N L/N."
I stood abruptly, scattering the tea boxes I'd been using to make a fort while the others were chasing after Ronin. At the door to Steep Wisdom stood my mother.
Appropriately also known as, the harbinger of my doom.
"How did you find me?" I squeaked, tossing aside a tea box in my grasp. If I thought Garmadon or Kai were scary when they were angry, neither of them could hold a candle to my mother. She fumed. Face red. "I tracked your call," she hissed and I flinched, taking a step back. Her face softened at my expression and she inhaled deeply, rubbing her forehead. "Dammit, I did the thing again... if I have to deal with these powers subdued, how the hell are you dealing with this?" "Apparently by jumping over the side of flying ships," I squeaked. "I- I'm sorry for hanging up on you, but I-" "Ugh, I know, I know," she dropped her head into her hands. "You can't help the prophecy and you can't help your actions with Lloyd. I get it, it's just-"
She turned her gaze to me. Such familiar eyes. I relaxed under her soft gaze. "Y/n, you're my daughter. You are so precious to me," she said, approaching me and placing her hands gently on my shoulders. "If anything happened to you, I- I..." she trailed off, face tightening. "But know that the way your powers react with Lloyd is the way I react with you. As long as I feel that your life is in danger, I'm terrified that you're not going to come back to me and I can't help but want to be there to protect you." "Mum..." I murmured, reaching up and sliding my hands around her wrist. I gave them a reassuring squeeze. "It's okay. I don't hate you for wanting to keep me safe. I get it." "Sorry," she sighed. "I told Misako to keep me updated. You've already been through so much." "It's been pretty scary," I murmured in agreement, eyes downcast. Her grip tightened. "I want you to come home," she said, voice firm. "I want you to come home with me but- but it's your choice. There's nothing to be ashamed with retreating. They'll understand."
