This. Was crazy.
Ever since the Merge happened, Ninjago - or.. part of Ninjago? - has gone crazy. Pieces of land have been ripped and sewn to new pieces of fabric, those being of other realms.
He'd lost contact with people because of this, but some he managed to find along the way. Today, he had passed into land he was unaware of existing, and it seemed to be very tribal. The first thing that happened was him spotting a group of male and female warriors hunting down animals, the biggest thing he noticed was their outfits: it was unlike anything he'd seen. (For the reader, it's like the clothing from Game of Thrones when Daenerys is Khaleesi, that type of tan clothes.)
He had been identified as different when they saw green scales along his upper arms, his newest suit didn't have sleeves, just bandage wraps along his wrists to his forearms. He didn't expect them to be tough, but after he realised the area was covered in vengestone rocks, he realised this would be no easy task. Similar to his times in the Crystalized Oni Temple, his powers were rendered useless. The surprise of this caused him to lose focus and get caught by this tribe. Not only did they chain his wrists, but also put a muzzle around his mouth.
Seems that they weren't strangers to dragons. Looks like they were mistaking him for a bad human-dragonoid.
••••••••••••••
Soon enough, they arrived at what appeared to be their base. Much like the rest of their life style, it was quite rustic. He could see that the realms had made an impact on this place too though, as there were some modern things too. Perhaps there's someone here who could help explain to these people that he means no harm?
He was pulled into a large tent where a group of people were, he assumed they were the keepers of this camp and it's people. They looked at him funny, until he heard a woman's voice pipe up:
"Don't you know not to chain a dragon!" it was then that Lloyd's ears perked up, he knew that voice.. He could practically hear the memory of the spider lullaby.
"Petal, please let me free him. I know him, he'd never want to cause harm." Harumi spoke to another woman who had a peachy-orange shade of hair.
"Very well Harumi.. Please keep him under check though, if you don't mind." Lloyd could see Harumi nod, as all he could see was her head at the moment.
Harumi walked over to where Lloyd was knelt on the ground, she calmly dismissed the two people guarding at his side - seems she has some sort of ranking here.. She most certainly has a sense of style here too. Her outfit was nothing like her old in style, but she had the same colour scheme: black, blue, grey. She looked like a gorgeous warrior with that outfit, having a cropped tunic piece that went from beneath her breasts to her collarbone, with some baggy shorts and an overlay across her waist, the material wrapping around her legs loosely.
Harumi knelt down to Lloyd and first removed the metallic muzzle. He could see in her eyes that she didn't know what to say, but she knew what to do. She checked his face to make sure it hadn't hurt him, before removing the chains around his wrists.
"Thank you." he whispered softly, a smile at the edge of his lips. Harumi bowed her head, knowing that he deserved saving, after all the times he's saved her.
•••••••••••••
"So.. How did you end up here?" Lloyd asked as he rubbed his forearm, it was aching from the length of time that his arns were held back in the long walk.
Harumi was making tea for Lloyd, to help cure his pains. "Well uhm.. Since the Merge, I got well, dumped here, and found a new life to make. I have no one else to locate, and I didn't feel like battling with people who know me for.. well, you know." The white-haired female walked over with a cup of tea for him, as he leant against a table. "Here, this'll help." she commented before heading back to the kitchen.
Lloyd took a small sip, his eyes glimmered. "You remembered." he said with a small smile before he walked to the kitchen, leaning in the doorway.
"Remembered what?"
"That I don't drink bitter tea without honey."
"Oh, that!" Harumi let out a small laugh, "I remembered because of that time you scrunched your face up like an infant with a cold, it's hard to forget that." she commented before resting the teapot to the side so it wouldn't boil over, leaning against one of the terracotta-looking countertop.
"It was not THAT bad." he said as he walked over towards her, she was only a few steps away anyway. "I just.. hmph, no point in arguing with you." he said in a pouty manner before putting the cup to the side, Harumi looked.
"Already all gone. Perhaps I'm better at preparing tea than food." she said before turning back to him, their eyes locking.
Lloyd leant a little closer, "Wouldn't have to be for me."
Harumi could feel her throat go a little dry as Lloyd's breath bounced off of her cheek softly. "Are you suggesting you'd like me as a housewife?"
"No." Lloyd answered quickly. "No you're far too badass to be a housewife."
"Well," Harumi rose a hand up to lay on his neck. "I'm glad we're on the same page of our future, if there is to be one."
Lloyd's hand crawled up to Harumi's back, "Oh definitely, I'm not letting you out of my life ever again." Lloyd rested his forehead against hers.
"Good." Harumi said before smashing their lips together. One of her hands running up his arms, which Lloyd used to hoist her up onto the counter's edge and stood between her legs.
"May I?" Lloyd asked as he pulled the collar of her shirt that rested along her neck line.
Harumi snickered, "Allow me. You never did know how to remove a women's clothes." she taunted him before undoing the ties in front of him, letting the shirt come undone.
"Oh, really now?" Lloyd challenged as he pecked her lips, hastily pulling down her shorts afterwards, "How's that?"
"Getting better." Harumi teased as she leant forwards, wrapping an arm around the back of his neck. "How about we take this to my bedroom?" she said as she gently played with his blonde locks, a laugh escaping her lips as Lloyd grabbed her by the hips and locked her legs around his waist.
P.s. I wrote this at 3AM, then proofread it in the morning.
