" WAIT SO YOU'RE ACTUALLY THE GREEN NINJA I THOUGHT I WAS TRIPPING OFF BLOOD LOSS" I stared at Lloyd's pretty face as he wore the Green Ninjas gi. " I guess not" Lloyd took a sip of water as we stared at each other. " I can't believe you all were color-coded this whole time and we are all blind" I mumbled as Zane laughed and pushed me to the table and sat me down. " Oh wait my parents probably are worried about me!" I gasped. " Morro too!" " Don't worry, I contacted them already" Lloyd patted my head. " Oh thank goodness" I took a breath of relief and looked around. Kai was looking away while the rest tried to talk to Lloyd again. It seems last night definitely helped repair their minor fallout.
Lloyd told me he wanted to take me somewhere after breakfast which interested me greatly. So I quickly ate breakfast which was even better than Morros. Sorry not sorry. After that, Nya let me borrow some clothes which fit pretty well. Lloyd put his mask on as he summoned his dragon. I gave them many many pets, squishing and petting his dragon's face as they licked me. " Alright come on dork" Lloyd picked me up and jumped onto his dragons back, placing me behind him. I hugged Lloyd tightly as he grabbed the reins to his dragon. I looked at the wings belonging to the dragon and saw the holes at the end of their wings. " If the dragon is merely elemental power, whats with the rips?" " Oh uh, they represent us." Lloyd said. " Our dragons are a form of our lives, our powers of course, and our experiences and well-being. If I'm sick, big boy here is sick too. They also age when we do. Also, they don't really have a gender so technically they are theirs and thems but we have figured out that some like being more or less called by male or female gender. Cole's and Zane's dragon don't care and like them, Kais like males, my does too, Nyas is a female and so is Jays. My Uncle just calls his a them though too." " So if it represents you, does...the rips means you've self h-" "Let's stop speaking for a bit" Lloyd gripped the reins tighter as we flew off.
I clung to Lloyd as I looked around. The world was so beautiful from up here, but I can't stop thinking about Lloyd and his dragon's wings. I looked behind myself at the dragons long body. They were so beautiful but held the pain Lloyd carries in his head. I shifted my weight onto Lloyds back and smiled as I tightened my hold like a hug. He smiled and leaned back slightly as he moved the reins to make his dragon go faster. He roared and flew so fast my hair felt like it tangled into a bush.


" Ha!" Lloyd laughed as we got off his dragon. " Your hair is a mess!" " Oh shut up!" I huffed and pushed my hair back into place. Lloyd just snickered and held my hand, leading me over to where he wanted me to be. " Woah-" I stared up at the large waterfall that flowed with multiple colors. The snow fell short of the area as the feeling of calm and peace filled the area. Lloyd smiled and pulled me closer. " What is this place?" I asked. " Sensei calls it the Waterfall of Elements, though its real name was lost to time." Lloyd put his hand in and smiled. " Each rock supporting the flow of the water represents elemental masters." He pointed around and named each craving into the stone which had the colors of the water separate and flow to their respective stone. " Behind the water holds the symbol of light and darkness with time craves in the middle of each symbol. Light at the top, then time, then darkness. That's why those 3 colors aren't seen. They support the water. And those two stones ate the very top almost like shoulder guards hold the symbol for creation and darkness." Lloyd explained.
" Its, really pretty. And calm." I sat next to the stones. " That's the point of it. The harmony between the elements, the balance, the peace." Lloyd did different poses when he said harmony, balance, and peace. " Hehe," I chuckled and Lloyd suggested to put my hand in. I did as a single stream of purple flowed near my hand before dismissing and trailing away. " Ha! Look at that! Purple, I think that's darkness. It's rare to see darkness, light, time, creation, and destruction colors flow away to flow their stones. Well, it's rare for any color too but even more for those! aren't we lucky" Lloyd nudged me. " Heh! I guess we are" I smiled and shook my hand of the water as I stared into the water. I took off my necklace and dunked the necklace in. One more purple stream roped near in a thin line. It circled the necklace before dispersing. " Wow" I whispered and took it out, putting my necklace on as the sound of wings flapping overhead was heard.
Lloyd and I looked up as we saw the others dragons.  A wyvern with a red color, Kais. A strong blocky dragon, Coles definitely. A  lung dragon with thin but large wings with an ice tone, Zanes. An amphiptere with a static way of flying, Jays. And a Wyrm, Nya. " What are you guys doing here?" Lloyd asked once they landed. " We got more clues, come on" Nya told him. " I think its best you join too"  Lloyd grabbed my hand and he pulled me onto his dragon. We flew off quickly and almost in a panicked manner. I got a bit scared when I saw how much faster they were flying. I gulped and held onto Lloyd tightly. Well, here we go again.
