Okay I'm sure by now you guys know I am a little off of my age. I wrote this one day super bored. It was on the T.V. My reaction. "Hmmm, I have an idea." Well here it is don't judge.

Zane

Tied up. Great. How did we get here? Well that would be Lloyd's fault. I don't judge the poor kid. The others though. "You had to go off and do something on your own did ya?" Jay yelled. See what I mean. "Hey," I said. "We can deal with this later. Right now we need to find a way out of this."

I heard them all groan. "Well, how will we do that?" Cole asked. They had tied us together with Lloyd separate. "Maybe we can..." I started to move my upper half. The ropes loosened a little bit. "Well, genius that didn't work now did it?" Kai teased.

"Do not rush me." I snapped back. "Forget it Zane." Cole said behind me. "Nothing we try will work."
"Where is Nya when we actually need her?" Kai asked to my left. Jay never could do anything under pressure. "Oh no we are going to die. Any last words people? We are going to die."

I heard Kai sigh deeply. "Will somebody hit him for me?" Thing certainly have changed around here. Not just in Ninjago but between me and the other ninja.

Seems like since The dark lord was defeated we grew apart. Even with Lloyd as the green ninja he still made mistakes. We all made them more often now. "Will everybody just calm down?" Lloyd asked a few feet away. "We can get out of this. We just need to be patient."

He certainly has learned. Seems like just yesterday he was a foolish little kid we were fighting in the street.

Suddenly we heard a crash. A gigantic hole was in the roof. "Nya?" Jay asked looking at the hole. There was no suit peering through the hole but a ninja.

"Hey I thought we were the only ones in Ninjago." Kai said trying to look at the situation.

He dropped from the ceiling and cut us free. Then ran over and freed Lloyd. He ran past me and looked at me for a moment. He nodded at me and ran out of the cave.

"Who was that?" Lloyd asked me. "I do not know." The ground began to shake.

"Who cares. We need to get our of here before they return." Another huge shake. "And this place crumbles to the ground."

We ran out of there before anyone could say anything else.

We were outside the cave."That was strange." I said standing outside watching it crumble. "What the new enemy not being there or the strange rescue."

"Both."

"It's getting dark. We might as well walk to the nearest village and find a hotel." Kai pointed out. You could barely see the sun over the horizon.

Okay I will admit. I have had some strange dreams. This one though I do not understand. It looked like a scene from my past. A clear one that I sort of remembered. It was the day I left the ice region to go with sensei.

"Zane, don't go." Her eyes were caring and her voice was calm. I know her I just can not place it. "I have to Zira, it is my destiny." Zira? My only friend back there. "Well, forget destiny, just stay."

"I'm sorry, I have no choice. When things get better I shall return to see you."
"Promise?"
"I promise."

I sat up strait in the bed. I did make a promise to her. I never did return. I made that promise five years ago though it would be a miracle if she remembered me. I glance at the clock. 6:30. Underneath the clock they had a calender.

It is May fifteen- It is her birthday today! It has been so long I am surprised I remembered. No one else is up. Though I can hear the faint chatter of Jay coming from his room. He even talks in his sleep.

I look out the window to the north. "A promise is a promise." I quickly get dressed and leave early. My normal attire seems unfitting for the occasion, but it was all I had with me.

We are not far from the region and I had only seen the village once. I will just go to the forest and find my way from there. I write up a note and leave in on my bed. I should return before any of them wake, but just in case.

Starting my Ice Rider would start to much noise. So I guess my journey will be on foot. I walk a few yards and I feel it getting colder. We are closer then I thought.

I had been walking for only and hour when I see that familiar tree the door wide open. "Huh?"

I hear the falcon close behind me. Someone has broken into our home. I walk in there and climb down the twisted staircase. No damage. Just a few scattered papers.

I begin to pick up the papers when I hear something. I glance at the falcon. "Knock it off." He closes his eyes and falls over. "No not turn off you idiot." I walk over and turn him back on. "Now sit still and be quiet."

I hear the noise again. "Who is there?" I ask. I turn around and see that ninja from yesterday. He takes off running. "Hey!" I yell chasing him out the door.

I jump and land on top of him. "Who are you and why were you in there?" I pick him up and slam him on a tree. He or I mean she reaches up and removes her hood.

"Zira?"
