Clashing Worlds
Summary: Sir Richard of the Lion Heart Crusaders has always been told his fate; the succession of his father's throne and to become the ruler of Morcia. He's come to accept this that is until he sees a beautiful maiden bathing on the outskirts of the Province of Banteras, the forest land that borders the Kingdom to the barren wasteland of sand and mystery. What happens when two separate worlds- meet? Crossover Ninjago/Lego Castle- My Birthday special! Perhaps a crackfic…
A/N: Hey everyone! I am turning a wonderful age that I will not reveal to a bunch of strangers :D. But, in honor of my special day, I'm going to try something out that I've been batting around for a while. I know Lego Castle is only a building set but I think it would be a cute idea for it to run aground Ninjago (you know since they were both made by Lego). Just a few points to mention- Brooklynn in this story is sixteen years old, as is Lloyd. This plotline is definitely AU- just for the ideas sake or else this would painful to explain. I hope you enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Ninjago, Lego Castle franchise, any characters mentions that aren't my OC's.

Chapter One: The Lady of the Lake?
It was a calm day in the bustling Ninjago City; people going their own different ways and the pace of life so fast, it could easily confuse one who wasn't used to the hustle and bustle. Sixteen year old Brooklyn Hawthorne sat inside the apartment dorm, staring out the window at the clear blue sky that was desolate of the usual white fluff of clouds. She was thankful to be with her friends- but the young woman found herself restless for something she couldn't describe. It felt like something was silently calling for her spirit as if she was supposed to be somewhere…
"Brooke! Can you come down here for a second?" Abella's voice came from the main room as the blonde came out of her daze and headed toward her caller.
"You rang?"
The burgundy huntress turned around to reveal her bandaged side, stained with faint blood and holding a small container of what appeared to be dried herbs "We're out of agrimony, witch hazel and Coptis."
"You want me to go out and get some?" Brooklynn asked incredulously, "Are you feeling ok?"
Abella rubbed the bridge of her nose, "Well… I have work-"
"You don't have work, you worked last night!" Brooklynn deduced her lie quickly and lit up, "You have a date don't you?"
Abella only smiled a bit, "I can't lie to ya…"
"IT'S KAI!" Brooklynn cried happily, "Awww, you two are so freaking cute together!"
The huntress rolled her hazel eyes, a small smirk on her lips, "Can you do it or what?"
"You can count on me, chief." Brooklynn saluted playfully as she took a satchel from the near-by coat hanger.
"GET BACK HERE SOON OR I'M COMIN' AFTER YA!" Was Abella's final call before she was out of vocal reach and headed out.

It wasn't a far walk until she reached an off-the-main-road shop that appeared picturesque to the last one they had invested in. She walked in the wooden door to be met with the pungent aroma of pumpkin spice, berries and firewood; a small bell announcing her presence.
The elderly woman behind the counter turned to greet her. Unlike the last shopkeeper (whom Brooke had to admit, needed a serious vacation); this woman was kinder, almost grandmotherly. To a girl who grew up without grandparents or was a sweet touch.
"Good Morning dearie," She smiled happy to see her consumer, "What can I help you with?"
"Hello, I need some medicinal herbs please." The aqua eyed maiden politely explained, "Witch Hazel, Coptis and Agrimony."
"I'm terribly sorry, but we're out of Witch Hazel and Agrimony."
Oh shoot, "Are you sure?" She asked again, Abella wouldn't be happy if she didn't get everything. If she gave her the responsibility of getting this medicine she wanted to meet her expectations.
"Yes, I'm afraid I just sold our last bundles to another customer just before you arrived." The woman smiled apologetically.
"It's quite alright." Brooke smiled as the gears turned in her mind. "Where exactly do they come from, if I might ask?"
The elder reached under the counter and removed a large withered scroll; the faded paper revealing a map, spreading it across the tabletop.
"We get our herbs from a trader in the northern region of Ninjago," Directing to the northern section of the map, where a dotted line portrayed the invisible boundary, "No one from the city has ever crossed the limit."
It clicked so nicely in her brain, the natural solution, "I guess I'll be the first."
"It's very dangerous!" The shopkeeper warned, "No one has returned and lived to tell what is there."
"Yes, but my sister needs the medicine." Brooklynn said firmly as she memorized the contents of the map, "What's the quickest way there?"

The forest land beyond Ninjago was once thought to be lost to the scrolls of time and forgotten tot the world around it. It is a sanctuary; where men live by a code of honor and the green landscape is filled with stories of heroic knights, ruthless evils and magic enchantments.
Here is the realm of Morcia.
While the land holds many creatures and men alike, none was more infamous Kingdom of Lion heart. There King Jayko and Queen Leonora reign over his land, keeping tense ties with the Black Knights and Forestmen of the wilderness while fighting the Wolfpack Renegades at any time.
The next soul in line for the holy throne is King Jayko's son, Sir Richard of Lion heart.
The boy is a young age of sixteen; with light brown hair and clear blue eyes that reflect his noble bearing. Intelligent, strong and loyal; this teenager is like most boys of his time- restless.
Brooklynn's POV
Brooklynn pushed through some thick brush as she gazed around the forest. It was light, filled with sounds of birds and other faint animals who sang in what was thought to be nature's song. Sunlight leaked through the dense canopy like a punctured curtain, illuminating the blue and greens of the vegetation perfectly. The woman was in such awe she failed to see the muddy brook in front of her or the large, prodding tree root placed in her still blazing trail. That is until she landed in it.
"Oh crap…" The girl puffed as she stood to find herself covered in water and dirt. Frowning, the girl looked a few yards down to see a beautiful lake full of crystal –clear water.
Richard's POV
Richard was riding through the forest Province of Banteras, on his trusted steed Achilles, at quite a reckless speed. The boy laughed as he cleared fallen trees, rocks and rivers in single bounds.
"Come now, Achilles, surely you can do better than that!" The male chided as the horse flattened its ears in concentration. The pace increased to where there was nothing but a haze of green, and wind noise barraged his ears. Finally, he gave the signal to stop as the horse trotted to a halt.
Richard dismounted the white stallion and stroked it's mane of gold hair, "Good Horse…"
The horse nodded its head, leaning over to sip some water from a nearby spring as Richard watched him go; he turned and headed for a large boulder perch. He climbed to the top and sat upon the peak, looking down at the small valley created by Mother Nature's gentle hands.
How beautiful… he pondered to himself, It's such a shame no one ventures out here to see it… I should be back at the castle, doing whatever princely duties awaiting my person.
It was not that he disregarded his position; he was a bloody prince! He was destined to rule in his father's wake. However, this daunting destiny was not enough for him. He seemed restless; unhappy with his fate. Is this all I am destined for…
I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything-
A voice interrupted the prince's thoughts; a sweet, melodious cord of loveliness so stunning it caught his attention immediately.
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail.
Curious, he climbed down and followed the sound cautiously. His search led him to push aside thin bushes to reveal a sight of pure beauty. It was a young maiden his age level, with long blonde, ribbon hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall. She was turned away from him, her body bare of the clothes she had thrown over a nearby tree limb.
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream, I have a dream.
I'll cross the stream…
The girl turned her head to show the profile of her angelic face, her eyes a magnificent blue-green color that rivaled the waves of the most gorgeous oceans. She was a woman of natural beauty unlike anyone he had ever seen before.
I have a dream.
She could not have been of this earth. Richard mentally swore he was now seeing a maiden of magic.
The lost Lady of the Lake was bathing right before his eyes. He aimed to move closer but only managed to step on a twig, startling the girl to cry out and run away into the forest, taking her things with her in one quick swoop.
"WAIT!" Richard cried as he tried to follow the charming female only to lose her in the heavy forest. Sadness filled the corridors of his heart… the girl of his enchantment had vanished as quickly as she had appeared.
Brooklynn's POV
The luck she had! The blonde girl had simply stepped in the lake to clean herself of the muddy water, singing a bit as she did when she was surrounded by the cooling element, and turns to see some stranger gaping at her from the cover of brush.
Great, freaking stalker…
Not wanting to be caught exposed again, Brooke quickly dressed in her white tank top underneath a blue of-the shoulder shirt, and gray jeans. She tracked through more forest and even with her alerted senses, she turned to come close to an arrow a mere inch from her forehead.
"Uh-oh."

Chapter one is complete! Review and let me know your thoughts- should I continue this? Shouldn't I? Confused? Don't care? I want to know!
I disclaim that I don't own the lyrics of I Have a Dream that belongs to Abba, however Brooke's version was done by the talented Amanda Seyfried. You can YouTube it if you want to hear it in person.
Read and Review!
