-"Red, are you OK?" As we walked back to the Temple of Time, Akita stopped for a second and held on to my arm for support. I looked at her and she was very pale.

-"No... I hate those Realm travels, they make me sick...."

-"Have you been feeling sick all this time?" She nodded back to me "oh Baby, you should have told me."

-"Did I have a chance?" She asked sarcastically. We basically argued since she was back, and now that we makeup and are back to normal I felt guilty for not noticing she was not well.

-"Come her Red, I carry you!" I grabbed her in my arms and carried on walking back to the Temple.

-"My hero!" She said laughing and kissing my face, and supporting her head on my shoulder.

-"I was about to start worrying with both of you ..." Copper said when she saw me walking in with Akita. -"Is she OK?"

-"She is feeling sick, probably because the 'Realm travelling', she was in pretty bad shape last time." I explained to Copper.

-"Akita, have you eaten anything today yet?" Copper asked Akita.

-"No! I haven't..." Akita answered to my sister.

-"Come on, let's go to the kitchen." Copper led us to get some food. -"Dad, keep watching over Mom." She asked her father.

Suddenly I realised I also didn't have any food. And the sandwiches Copper made for us were very welcoming.

-"you know, you shouldn't stay that long without eating, you're a werewolf, your metabolism is very fast, maybe you should start carrying snacks with you," Copper said to Akita, giving her another peanut butter and jam sandwich.

-"Like chocolates?" Akita asked, after a mouthful, slowly coming back to normal.

-"Or nuts." Copper said.

-"Or candies..." I said.

-"Not a healthy option, brother... "

-"It works for me." They laughed at me, and I was glad to see Akita back to normal.

After we ate, I asked Akita if she was Ok to face another trip, now back to Ninjago.

-"yes... I will be fine."

-"Good! Let's go home."


*Back to the Monastery


-"Red, I am very worried about leaving you alone, I will ask Sorla to be with you." Akita was still not well when we returned.

I insisted she needed to have a rest, she ended up agreeing, but now she is again protesting about having someone watching over her.

-"Lloyd, I don't need a babysitter, I just need to sleep and you need to go and update your team about the new mission. I have lived for over 10 years on my own. I will be fine for a few hours, please just go." She complained again, already getting herself under the covers to sleep.

-"Last time I left you alone you jumped over that window, I don't want you to be alone." I sit in bed by her side, leaning my face over hers, kissing her cheeks, at the same time checking her temperature.

-"I know you are worried about me being silly again, I promise I will not."

-"I will ask Sorla to check on you every so often. Is that ok?"

-"All she will watch over is a snoring Wolf... and if she wakes me up I will be very moody, You know how I am when I am tired... " she said, placing her hands on my face.
