Lloyd's POV:
The day was going so slowly. The other ninja were teaching their classes and I had nothing to do. Since the defeat of the Overlord, peace had spread throughout Ninjago. Serpentine sightings had been at an all time low and it was boring. The whole part about being a ninja meant fighting bad guys and vanquishing evil.
For the past few days there had been no bad guys to play butt kick with and no evil to destroy. The last part I'm happy about, but a ninja should never be deprived of a bad guy to stop.
I moped around Sensei Wu's Academy for a bit, waiting for one of the ninja to go on their break. I had to watch my step though; there were still a few traps left from when the school was Darkley's Boarding School for Bad Boys and one wrong move could set them off. The first day the ninja and Sensei had started working here, we had walked around springing numerous traps. At the end of that day we had loads of cuts and bruises, one knockout, and a near broken wrist. And still, every so often, another trap would be sprung.
The entire place was a deathtrap, so I walked outside the building. The outside hadn't changed much since the last time I had been here, when we had been attacked by the bizarro clones, but a few flowers sprouted between the mounds of dead grass. "Lots of hope this place had," I sighed. When would one of the ninja be on their break?
I waited for an hour and still none of the ninja were on break. How long did school last? Surely not this long. I got bored, so I stood up and walked to Jamanakai Village.
The small town was bustling with the energy of the people that lived there. Small fires danced in the fireplaces of the homes, families huddled in the warming embrace of the flames. It was incredibly peaceful. Nothing like the first time I had come here, demanding all the sweets in town. Good memories.
I walked around, taking in the calming surroundings of the town, slowly making my way towards the fountain in the centre. The night was cool and a breeze bit into my skin as it blew through my green ninja gi. I shivered and summoned a little ball of fire in my hand in order to warm myself. It cast a warm orange glow over the ground around me. I sat on the side of the fountain and looked at the cool water inside.
It was a quaint day until the screaming started. Someone ran into the centre of town shouting at the top of her voice "Snake! There's a snake!"
I jumped up and ran in her direction, ready for action. Adrenalin rushed through me like at the start of every battle. Finally something to do!
"Where's the snake?" I asked.
She pointed over her shoulder, her hand shaking with fear. "Just at the edge of the forest! Please, make it go away!"
I gave her a nod and ran in the direction she had pointed, it was my job to make those annoying serpentine go away.
I reached the edge of the forest and scouted around the edge, searching for any movement that might indicate something hiding. I walked slowly and quietly, careful not to make a sound and give away my position. A slight movement in the corner of my eye made me turn. I came face to face with a serpentine, or to be more specific, hypnobrai.
