Hello everyone! I'm Kiwi and this is my very first fanfiction ever. I do not own Ninjago, but I do own my OC. R&R please. I would love to get some feedback to better my writing. :3
Chapter One: The Stranger in the Desert
The sprawling desert was not forgiving as the teenager sauntered across the sand. Her brow, furrowed, was beaded in sweat as she puffed out breath after breath. Where she was headed she hadn't an inkling, but her father was out here somewhere. Her mother had promised her that much. Stopping for a second, the girl pulled a tie out of her pocket and proceeded to pull back the long red hair that had been causing horrendous sweat marks along the back of her maroon camisole; displeased with the frizzy mess of dead protein that sat upon her head, the girl continued on her journey only to fall to her knees a few minutes later.
Sand coated her tongue, choking her. The sun blazed down from above, taunting the traveler. Running out of hope, the girl crawled forward across the burning sand, scraping up her exposed knees in the process. "Father" she whispered softly, "where could you be?" Without an ounce of strength left in her body, the teenager collapsed, unconscious, in the middle of nowhere.
From out of nowhere approached a shadow, covering the area where the girl lay motionless. A flying vessel hovered twenty feet above and slowly descended into the desert; aboard the ship stood a man with skin as black as the desolate night sky. His red eyes gleamed hungrily. "Someone is down there" he stated, pointing out the girl to the reptilian crew that surrounded him. "Please bring them to me."
Feeling absolutely serene in the intense heat, the snakes hastily obeyed the orders of their captain. A bright green serpent lowered an iron anchor over the side, climbing down the chains after it hit the soft sand. He eyed the girl suspiciously with his three good eyes. "It's a girl!" he called up, hoisting the limp figure onto his left shoulder. Slowly, he approached the anchor as the rest of the crew gawked at him. With swift work, both the snake and girl were on the boat. Smirking, the green serpent threw the girl onto the wooden deck, watching as her limbs sprawled.
"What have we found?" asked the captain from inside a cabin.
"You should come see for yourself" replied a grey snake, placing a heavy emphasis on every letter "s".
The doors to the captain's quarters opened with a bang and the black-skinned man emerged laughing. "Is this the samurai that always aids the ninja?" He knelt down next to the girl, the bone on his helmet casting an odd shadow. Her fiery red hair seemed even brighter in the shade. "No" breathed the man, standing back up. "This can't be…it's impossible…"
"What's the matter, Lord Garmadon?" inquired a black and orange colored serpent, slithering forward.
"Water" Lord Garmadon managed to say. "We need to give this girl water now. Please take her to one of the bunks in the main quarters immediately!"
"Why?" asked a red snake, the color of his scales rivaling that of the unconscious girl's hair. "She could be a spy for the ninja."
"She is not a spy!" yelled Lord Garmadon, grabbing the serpent by the wrist. "She is my daughter."
Oh snap...Garmadon has a daughter. Again, please R&R. I think I'll upload the next chapter soon. I hope you've enjoyed it so far!
