How does he do it?

                                    

                                          
Three days before the emperor arrives
                          
With Kai out of commission and the knowledge of a traitor among them the villagers were in a state of panic. They cannot fix the wall without Kai or at least to the protective degree Kai was able to do. The ninja had been doing their best to get prepared for the fight, but it was nearly impossible. 
                          
The parents of the children were not allowing the kids to go up the mountain without Kai since quite frankly they only trusted him to protect them from the monster that lives in the mountains. 
                          
"Ugh! This is terrible!" Jay was ranting inside the hut as he paces back and forth. "Kai's out of commission, we can't get the children to safety, fix the wall, and that spy is probably going to try and finish the job," Jay rants. "You know everyone is so caught up on this monster, but Kai wasn't even worried about it. We all know he's cocky, but when it comes to lives he doesn't take chances so why still go up there?" Lloyd asks. "And by himself? Who would watch over the kids once he came back?" Nya asks looking at her  sleeping brother. "Well we're running out of options. No one is prepared, Kai is out of commission, and everyone thinks there's a giant monster up the mountain," Cole said. "Well I have some sort of a plan," Lloyd said. "What?" Everyone asks. "Jay and me find out who tried to kill Kai, Nya you rally the villagers to get ready, Cole you check out the mountain, Echo you stand watch over Kai whoever did this is gonna try to finish the job. It's not the best plan, but it's all we got," Lloyd said. "Why do I need to check out this mountain?" Cole asks. "To prove there is no monster and is there only way to insure the children's safety," Lloyd said. 
                          
Cole sighed and looked at Kai. "I hope we don't die," Cole said holding his limp hand. 
                          
Cole's POV 
                          
I entered Kai's hut to grab the rope he was intending to grab. I grabbed it and put a sweater on to keep warm. It was one of Kai's so it had his scent. I felt around in the pockets and pulled out a small leather bound book. Confused I pulled it out and opened it to the first page.
                          
Journal entry of Kai Brooke-stone the red ninja master of fire and water big brother to Nya Smith son of Ray and Maya Smith husband to Cole Brooke-stone mother to Lily, Onyx, and Oscar.
                          
I was flabbergasted Kai had a journal? In fairness he must have kept a lot of things bottled up being in charge of the safety of a entire village on his own, learning that he was frozen for nearly five decades, learning his only friend who could possibly relate or understand what was happening became a warlord controlled by a power hungry man, having no way home, having us gone, believing for nearly two years that his kids grew up without him around, and having no idea what happened to us in the time he was frozen. It must have been a lot for him to handle. I put it back in the pocket and start the long journey. 
                          
Later so many time skips
                          
Okay I'm definitely lost. I found a small shelter to keep warm in so I could rest after climbing the mountain. I took several wrong turns and almost fell off a cliff at this point I'll never reach the top. 
                          
"How do you do it?" I asked myself looking down at the village. I took a look at the journal Kai has. 
                          
One month in snow realm
                          
Zane says I should log what's happening so I don't have a mental break down. Honestly I think he's just scared we will never get home or if someone shows up in a similar situation they will know to have hope. Honestly that's all I really have left. 
                          
Woah he's had this since nearly the beginning of his getting stuck here. I skim through a few pages that had drawings of the kids and everyone we've come across.
