Ninjago: The master of illusion

prologue

"Trixie, what is it?" A brown haired woman with glasses asked a small child, putting down the scroll she was reading. she could see something was worrying her daughter.

"Mommy why can't I be normal?" The child was a little girl. She had brown eyes and a long ponytail to match. she was wearing a pink dress and pink sandals to match. She looked out of the window of their small apartment in Ninjago city. She looked down at the playground to see other children playing together, children she could be friends with. Tears welled up in her eyes.

"Sweetie we've talked about this, until you know how to control your powers, you can't be around other people. imagine what would happen if everyone knew you had your powers. you are a child. it would be too much for you to have everyone treating you like a celebrity. when your older or you can control your powers. She leaned over to put her hand on her daugter. when she did, a girl who looked exactly like her came out from behind the sofa, as soon as she touched the daughter in front of her she noticed the 'twin'

"see, this is what i mean honey, you can't control your powers."  The little girl turned around and saw her 'twin' she clicked her fingers and the 'twin' dissaperared.

"Why is my brother allowed to go to school when i'm not?"

"Adopted brother Trixie, remember I adopted you when his father left and your parents died. and he goes to school because his powers haven't been unlocked yet, so he's safe to be around other people." The mother saw her daughter wasn't happy.

"it's not fair!" Trixie announced

"just because he has no powers he can be normal. I just wanna be like everyone else!"

"For the last time your not like everyone else. you need to accept that." The mother was starting to grow annoyed and angry with her daughter

"i never asked to be different. it's not my fault. i don't deserve to be punished." the mother looked at Trixie.

"it's not a punishment, it's a safety precaution." her mother told her. Trixie slammed the nearby whale ornament on the table and to her mothers suprise it smashed in half. Trixie stormed into her room. Her mother sighed and went to get some glue. That ornament was made from wood, how did it break so easily?

when she got back from the kitchen she went to the ornament. she picked one half up and it was surprisigly heavy she looked at the other half and stepped on it. her foor went right through it.

"An incomplete illusion." The mother whispered. Her daughter had been practicing with her to create illusions but sometimes they happened when she didn't mean for them to. Her daughter was working to create illusions that were not destroyed easily and that physically felt real. Trixie wasn't even allowed to meet her brother because her mother wasn't sure how they would get along, and because she lost contact with him when she left him at bording school. She walked to her daughters bedroom door and heard her singing.

"with the way you treat me,

your not fit to fly

you know what i mean,

since you only deserve strife"

A few years later...

"Trixie, can i have a word" The mother knocked on the door to her daughters room. she opened the door. Trixie was older now. Her brother had never met her but her mother often met with him now.

"what is it mom? Trixie had her hair in longer pigtails. Her middle parting separated her hair, the left side pink, the right dark blue. she wore a top that was dark blue on the left and pink on the right. Black leggings and black sneakers. Her room had her single bed with black sheets and pillows, a desk and chair, wooden dresser, bookcase and a wardrobe crammed in it. leaving a small space to be able to look out of the right window over the desk. Trixie sat at her desk.

"what are you writing?" The mother asked. Trixie was writing in a book. she'd been doing that for ages.

"I'm working on a novel." Trixie replied. The mother always knew her daughter loved reading. her head was barely ever out of a book. She had a feeling Trixie would write her own book someday. 

"can I read it?" The mother asked the mother had grey hair now with a white streak in it. But she still wore the circular glasses she did when Trixie was a child.

"Sure I guess." Trixie shrugged. she got up and lay down on the bed and closed her eyes. Her mother picked up the book and began to read it.

'Suddenly, Nova lunged forward and ran toward the gate, the guards got ready to fight her. But they were ne match for her. She shot moonrock at their feet, when it failed to scare them off, she blasted them with her power, turning them to solid moonrock.'

"Trixie, this is amazing. Have you considered contacting a publisher?" The mother sat on the bed Trixie was laying on. She knew her daughter loved English at school, but always thought it ended outside of studies. 

"Not really, I didn't think you'd approve of my writing. I've actually been writing that novel for a while"

"of course i approve." The mother looked at her daughter who sat up. 

"anyway, that's not what i'm here to talk about."

"then what is it?"

"Trixie, your older now. you've adapted enough that you can completely control your powers, not just because I've been helping you, but because your age makes you stronger. you can control your powers fully right?" Trixie nodded and clicked her fingers. With a puff of turquoise she was at her desk.

"it was an illusion the whole time?" The mother asked.

"yup, well except the book." The mother still held the book.

"Good, you can control your powers. well, i've decided that your ready to fly on your own."

"what's that supposed to mean?"

"your free to roam the world. i've decided to move out."

"Am I going with you?"

"No, i'm leaving this place for you so that you can get off the ground with a place to live."

"what if i need you?"

"Then I'm just on the other end of the phone?"

"where will you be?"

"I'll be with your brother. helping him with his future. you'll meet him someday, i promise."

"OK mom,I understand. I'll make you proud."

And within a week, there was no more trace of the mother. Trixie looked around the empty apartment.

Now she was alone. 

'It's time to start my life.' Trixie thought. sitting on the couch and turning on the TV to hear the news.
