The Life of Livana Garmadon

August 9th, 2023

"C'mon, Luna. Faster." I urged her in the sky, her reins in my hand as I snapped them gently. I felt like I was trying to outrun something or someone. How the talk yesterday with Lloyd ended honestly unsettled me quite a bit, so I thought that taking a ride with Luna would somehow cool me off. Luna rolled her eyes back at me and I smiled, reaching forward to stroke her ears. Since I had practiced flying with Luna a few times, we both have gotten more confident in what we're doing. Luna likes doing flips in the air, and I like to encourage her to go faster. Of course, we're both tired at the end of the day; Luna from flying so hard and me from gripping her sides with my thighs, but otherwise we love flying together. It was just like Lloyd said, "A dragon is always made for their rider".

Luna soared higher into the air and I twisted the rein around my wrist, signaling for Luna to hover and let the wind take us wherever it wanted to take us. Luna's wings spread wide open, showing some of her dark purple veins, as we flew towards the sun. I looked down and fiddled with Luna's saddle, picking at the fibers already flaking off from it.

Ghosts aren't real, right?... I've never been superstitious my whole entire life and I've never questioned any phenomena. It's Ninjago. We see weird things happening every single day. I wouldn't be surprised if aliens landed in front of me and asked for my phone number. That's how weird Ninjago can be.

But ghosts... are a whole different thing. I've never thought about death often, but death means that once you've died, you're done. Your life on the mortal plane is over. There is nothing left for your soul but to rest. Just close your eyes and rest. You can't get redos as a ghost.

I felt a chill run down my spine and I whipped my head around, trying to see if someone was spying on me. But no one was looking. It was just me. I jerked my reins in the direction of home, making Luna turn around with a grunt.

"Come on, girl." I whispered cautiously, "Let's call it for a day."

-:-:-:-:-

"Back already?" I looked down to see Zane waving at me. Luna landed on the ground steadily and I slipped off the side of her neck, patting it gently before I turned to Zane with a short nod.

"Yeah... I felt like someone was watching me. Really eerie." I admitted and one of Zane's eyebrows shot up.

"Is everything okay? How long have you been feeling like this?" Zane asked me with concern and I shook my head.

"It's only been for a day, Zane. It's fine. I was just a little unsettled after Lloyd talked about Morro." The name sent a chill down my spine. Morro. The name meant air in Latin and darkness in Greek. Who was he? I thought to myself, I feel like I know him...

"Morro?" Zane's eyebrows furrowed, which was not a good sign. "Why was your brother talking about a ghost that we fought in the past?"

"Because," I said slowly, "I saw this mysterious person with bright green eyes in my vision dream a few nights back, and I asked Lloyd who else it could be. Lloyd told me that the only person he knew that had green eyes like him was Morro, and he was dead."

"Lloyd is correct. He is dead." Zane frowned, "Why would you see Morro? Where did you see him?"

A chill ran down my spine and I hugged myself, "I saw him... next to me."
