Ninjago: Time Heals Some Wounds

The Snake King

Lloyd's p.o.v (Arrow)

A few days have past sence the whole snake incident and Wu teaching the ninja the power of rumors. I still remember the ones about me.

The green ninja is dead
He's gone
Lost
Forgotten about us
He'll never come back.

I shake my head, those rumors hurt a lot worse than they do now. Because I reviled what happened to me. A hand on my shoulder scares me and I wrip around, slamming my fist hard into Cole's shoulder. He grunts a little in discomfort.

"Sorry." I say. "No, I'm the one that's sorry. I should have said something. Came to tell you we'regonna search for signs of the serpentine." Cole says. I nod "I'll probably go for a fly. Stretch out my wings." I say.

Walking out on the deck, Kai takes Lloyd with hem. I know this won't end well. Taking to the sky, I head for where the Lost City of Ouroboros is. Coming up, it's mid-day.

Staying high enough to be mistaken for a bird, I spot Lloyd in the crowd. 'Damn kid, waait. I was once hem.' I think. A whistle sounds, I bank to douge a Boleadora. But I'm not so lucky to douge the second.

It wraps around, tangling in my wings. A third wraps around my chest and legs and I drop. Slamming into the ground, I cough. Pythor comes over as Skales and Skalidor pick me up. Struggling in their hold as Acidicus comes over with Lloyd.

Pythor rips the mask off, my face seen. Pythor looks between the two of us and starts leaghing. "This is rich. We have the child version of Lloyd and the grown version of Lloyd." Pythor laughs.

I growl, thrashing hard in the two's hold. "Throw them in the cage. Together." Pythor said. We're thrown in the cage and Lloyd curls into me. "Is it true, your me." He asks. I nod, curling my wings around hem.

Days pass, the days are hot, the nights are cold. Lloyd licks his chapped lips, he's gonna die from dehydration. Seeing a Hypnobrai, I grab hem. "Bring us food and water. The boy will die if he doesn't get any." My voice is scratchy and horse.

I throw hem to the ground and he runs off. Pythor comes bacj, holding the requested water and food. Taking it, I give it to Lloyd. Giving most of the food and water to hem.

More days pass, I tug on the chains. I'm tied to the statue of the Great Devourer. One of the Fangpyre tried taking Lloyd from my care and I beat the shit out of hem. The chain around my neck actually hurts. I have to keep my chin tilted up, but, it gets heated up by the sun and now my neck is raw, blistered, blood runs down the front of my gi.

The chains rattle, I face plant the sand, eatting some sand in the process. The neck chain is wrapped twice around my neck than both ends are wrapped around my wrists. The remaining tied my arms together. "Move, runt." Acidicus shoves me. I stumble, faint from the heat and no water but stay up.

Dragging my feet, I see Lloyd looking at me through the bars of the cage. Acidicus swings something white over my head, pulling tight and forcing a rolled up rag into my mouth. He ties it tight and shoves me again.

I look to the sky, the sun hot and unbearable. Tears fall from my eyes as I trace my wedding band.

'Find me and rescue us, please love .' I think as we head to the location of the third fang blade.
