The Heart Of War- Ninjago Oc x Cole "Book1"

🎞🎞Season 5, Episode 3🎞🎞

Stiix and Stones

We finally arrive in the town of Stiix, only to see its surrounded by water. I huff a breath, as we start heading towards it. My right hand is in Cole's, and I'm not fully paying attention to their conversation. Instead, my head is low, and My mind is elsewhere.

We walk down the docks and approach a Fisherman sitting up on a sign. He looks down on us and bids us all a fair hello.

"Welcome to Stiix. Watch your step." He says, before the other end of his fishing rod gets a tug.

"Oh, I caught one! It's a big fella! Ugh, whoa....! Whoa!!"

Whatever's on the other end of his rod, well, it pulls the fisherman into the endless sea.

"Ugh. Dagnabbit." Spits the man.

After the boys peer over the edge, Cole notices how Kai never looked over, and how he's seeming to be afraid of the water.

"I didn't know you were afraid of heights." Chuckles Jay.

Kai shakes his head.

"I'm fine with heights. It's water I hate."

"Didn't seem to have a problem before." I mumble, a little too loudly.

Kai scoffs and goes to simplify that.

Myself and the other boys start for the town. Kai lags behind us. He rushes himself onto his feet, and hops along after us.

"Before I could make a Fire Dragon at will. Since Morro's taken over Lloyd and our powers gone, I haven't felt-Aagh!"

A board beneath him crumbles and Kai slips. He dangles in place for a moment and shouts for our help. Cole sighs and goes to lift him back onto the dock.

The two rejion us.

"Well, now that we know Ghosts don't like water either, at least we should feel safe surrounded by it."

"Cole's right," I nod.

"We can use this town's environment to our advantage. It'll come to be useful in time."

We stroll into Stiix, and find that it's quite the trashy place.

"Ugh, what a dump. You'd think the thief who stole the Scroll of Airjitzu would have better taste."

"Uh, this is Ronin we're talking about. He'd steal the sea if it were worth anything. We just have to figure out which rock he's under and get to the Scroll before Morro does." Claims Cole.

"Correct."

"Let's split up and start looking." Suggests Zane, as we enter what we've been told is Ronin's shop.

We start looking around, and I come up to a shelf with an old box on the bottom. I curiously take it and pull out it's contents. Inside the dusty, old, and falling apart box are...

.....Photos?

I pick one of them up and see its of flowers. Blue ones, which dangle from their stems. I chuckle and set it aside. Pulling up the next one, I see its of this 'bad' guy Ronin, and assume it's from when he was younger.

In the photo, he's sitting in a field, holding up some simple daisies to a little girl. She has plat blonde hair, and blue/hazel eyes. Shes got tears in the corners of her eyes and shes reaching out to grab the flowers. Also, shes wearing a very pretty dress, thats decorated with Blue Jays. (Not the Ninja boy, The Bird!)
