It would be easy, they said. Sure, that's what I thought when I had no idea. To be quite honest, I was not prepared for anything.
There could have been a better and more humane way we could have won the battle, but that is in the past. I cannot change it, no one can, but what can I say? He is still with me. I know that, for my mother is too and I hope my friend can see that as well.
FLASHBACK
I grazed quietly in the field. The serene monastery where I now lived was the perfect place to live. A waterfall hummed its ongoing tune and the fireflies flickered around me. The night wind blew softly and the grass rustled.
"Hey Trua. Time for dinner," Garmadon walked up to the gate of my pasture with my halter to lead me inside.
I looked up and nickered a greeting to him. He was such a caring person now that he was good. He was a good tutor as well as I had seen during the nindroid invasion and our flight from the Overlord. Sadly, Zane was gone due to that being although Ninjago was free once more.
"Come on," Garmadon firmly snapped the lead rope on the halter and slipped it over my head. "Let's go. Misako has something special for you."
I followed him obediently and stepped beside him. Since he had had more time on his hands, he had been teaching me things that Lloyd had never taught me like simple things like not walking ahead of the human or trailing behind but to go at a lively steady gait and keep time with them. I was now becoming what I thought a more domesticated animal, although I had my wild side still in me.
"Well look who it is, if it isn't Trua," Misako grinned and met her husband at the door. "Come in. And don't dirty the floor," she petted me on the nose and took the lead rope from him. She clicked her tongue a couple times signaling me to walk on.
I was led into the main room where Garmadon dumped my feed into a bucket. "Eat up, bud. There's an apple at the bottom."
Once I had finished eating, I was turned back out. I hadn't seen my owner that evening. I wondered why but dismissed it because he was still busy with ninja affairs.
After Zane's apparent demise, the other boys had left their duties and had gone off to find other jobs. I was left with Lloyd and his parents. In the meantime, we still remained committed to our own work and kept on training and improving ourselves. Since Garmadon not only insisted on giving me obedience lessons, he also took over most of my training that required a rider since Lloyd was gone in the day. I can't say I cared much for that change.
Midnight gradually seeped its way into Ninjago. I was still awake, half dozing but still aware of my surroundings. Suddenly, I noticed a figure coming up the road. It had a hat on and was walking quickly. I sniffed the air and stopped sleeping. I took a step towards the edge of the fence to get a better look.
The person neared and I could see it was a human. He was wearing something similar to Sensei Wu's attire and had bluish green armor on with orange. An eye patch covered one of his eyes and he was whistling a strange tune. The man stopped at the gate and called my name.
Cautiously, I walked to him, but tossed my head when he tried to reach for my halter.
"Easy, big fellow. The ninja want me to get you for them. Their on a mission," he coaxed me.
Not sure whether to believe him, I pinned my ears and backed off.
He snapped my lead rope on that had been left on the fence and dragged me out the gate. I did not want to leave but if the ninja needed me, why not?
We walked for some time before coming to the Ninjago pier. "Load up," he commanded me to walk up the plank that was set to a ship.
What was he doing? I thought. This was weird. I went quickly up the board. He led me into a stall and shut the door.
The ship blew it's whistle and began to move. I had been tricked! The ninja didn't even know what happened. I reared and kicked the walls, frantically trying to escape before crewmen came and cut the ropes.
"Let's get out of here!" said one of them. "Let's get these horses to Master Chen! Ronin, better keep an eye on the palomino...he's a wild one." the person addressed the crook who had caged me.
Furious, I looked around and noticed I had been penned in beside many other horses. So 'Ronin' was taking us all?! I thought. What about my friends back at home? I hoped Lloyd would know I was missing and find me. For now, I had no idea what would become of us or what plot we were involved in. Just another day in Ninjago eh?
