Mimi: HIIIIIIIIIIIII! … I actually have nothing to say… well I do… but it's for Season 3 of Nexo Knights and not everyone has seen the whole season in English yet, so I'll stay quiet…
Zelda: I have nothing to say either (Mimi: She's watched most of the season with me :P But so far, I'm to only one who's watched the whole season out of my friends), so just read and enjoy the story.

(First Review for Chapter 2): I'm so happy you want to read this story! :) The knights will be worried for Clay, but there's another part to it… I wanna say so badly! But I don't wanna spoil future chapters! The knights will be coming to Ninjago, though! XD
(Review for Chapter 3): Yup! Clay is a prince! There's going to be a ton of information about this coming soon, so look out! :)
Clay's POV
I stood there awkwardly as the ninja gawked at me.
"I can't believe we were in the presence of royalty!" Jay exclaimed, waving his arms around like crazy, freaking out.
"You guys were already in the presence of royalty long before you met me, though." I said. They looked at me confused.
"Kai and Nya," I stated, "Are also Royal. They're my cousins. I like to call Kai and Nya my siblings, though." With that the room exploded into panic.
"WHAT, THEY WERE ROYAL?!"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO BEFORE?!"
"So you weren't Nya's boyfriend or something?!"
Everyone went silent at the last statement. I chuckled.
"Wait a sec," Jay slowly said connecting the dots, "if Nya is your cousin and you're the heir of Ninjago's royal family…"
"MY GIRLFRIEND IS A PRINCESS?!" Jay exclaimed.
"Tough luck, Jay," Cole said. Jay crashed into the floor and groaned.
"And now I have another overprotective brother/cousin too," Jay stated, "Wait, are you older or younger?"
"Older," I replied, "but younger than Kai."
"How come we never knew this?" Zane asked turning his head to Kai and Nya.
"Our mother was mostly known as the elemental master of water from the Serpentine Wars," Kai replied, "So many people forgot about her being one of the heirs to the throne."
"Clay's mother was the older sister as well," Nya added, "So she was supposed to take throne instead of our mother."
"So you are from Ninjago, then?" Lloyd asked me. I shook my head.
"I was born in a place called Knighton. My father was an Elemental Ruler, my mother, as you just heard, was the older sibling of the two daughters heir to the throne."
"Tell us more." Cole said. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, so I took a deep breath and said, "Fine. I'll tell you the story."
Years back before any of us were born. Ninjago and Knighton were connected to each other by the three Elemental Rulers. Knighton is a kingdom ruled by a the Halberts ever since it was first founded. Unlike Ninjago, which had samurais and ninjas as warriors, Knighton has knights. As you already know, they were connected by Elemental Rulers.
You must understand that there are three of them within the two realms. One for Ninjago, one for Knighton, and one for all the realms. The Elemental Ruler that represents, you could say, all the realms is always the descendent of the First Spinjitzu master. That is why Lloyd is an Elemental Ruler. The Elemental Ruler for Ninjago was always known for his main element of fire, that was Kai's father in which powers Kai had inherited. Knighton was known for the Elemental Ruler of Water, my father.
It is said that when an Elemental Ruler is born, you can tell not only because their hair has a streak of color representing their element, but their eyes reflect their element, as well as good fortune that comes across the realm they are in.
Lloyd's birth caused things like the sick healing. Kai's birth created fire which made ashes that fertilized the earth. With my birth I had brought rain to places that needed it, places in drought. However, my element had a strange... defect. The rain did not stop and tides near the coast raged like angry monsters. It flooded towns and destroyed crops. It was a devastation. Not only that, but unlike a regular Elemental Ruler who would be able to use their powers at around ages 12-15, I could use my powers ever since I was born. In addition, you would usually only be able to control just your main element, such as for me, water, and control the rest when you unlock your inner potential. However, I could use all the elements without even unlocking my inner potential. But being a baby, I could not handle the power, so that may have been the reason why the rain did not stop. Not even my father could calm the element of water that day.
The people of Knighton were very upset. When they heard about me, they wanted something to be done. So my father left Dnullib with my mother and I to Ninjago where we lived in a monastery for the Royal Family of Ninjago.
There was peace for three years as my father tried his best to try to teach me to control my powers. Then one day strange men attacked the monastery, setting it on fire. I had been with my mother at the time as she tried to run out of the monastery with me, but the strange men in full black clothing appeared out of nowhere. One of them grabbed me and ripped me away from my mother as two others held her away from me. Then another took out a sword and stabbed her right in the heart.
I saw it all, they forced me to, I can still hear my mother's scream as I screamed for my mother as well. My father then came rushing in and fought the men and grabbed me back. I cried into his shoulder while he used his powers of gravity to take my mother and I out of the monastery right before it collapsed completely. I didn't know at the time who those men were, but it would not be the last I would see of them.
After the police and firemen came and extinguished any of the fire still burning, a funeral for my mother occurred immediately after.
My father then decided to go back to Knighton. He summoned a portal back to Dnullib and there we lived together for another year peacefully. My father had a job as a knight. I was slowly getting better with my powers of water, but when it came to other elements, I could not control them at all.
So short was the time I had with my father, only one year, when one day my dad ran into the house from work with a stranger. This man was Kai's father, my uncle. My dad quickly told me that something bad was about to happen and I asked him what was going to happen. He never answered. He hugged me tight and said he loved me. He quickly muttered inaudible things. My body glowed slightly with a blue aurora that quickly faded. My father then told me that he casted a spell on all Elemental masters currently in Knighton. That unless I unleash my inner o potential, the people put under that spell wouldn't be able to use their powers. He handed me over to Ray, my uncle, and told Ray to leave quickly.
Right after, the door to the house was broken down, and the men that had attacked the monastery a year before swarmed into the house. My father fought them all as Ray quickly took me upstairs and created a blue portal. From there I was taken back to the world of Ninjago.
"What happened to your father, though?" Lloyd asked.
"Probably died," I replied, "Ray tried to cover my ears but I heard a scream from my father and he told me later that he was most likely dead." Everyone looked at me with sympathy.
"I'm guessing though that when Ray took you, you also met Kai. Was Nya also there?" Zane inquired.
"Nya wasn't born yet when Ray took me." I replied.
"What kind of reaction did Kai have to you coming?" Lloyd asked.
"Well," I replied, "I think from here I should tell the story with Kai." I looked over to Kai who nodded his head in agreement.
Mimi: Yeah… that was a short chapter :P
But don't worry! For a couple of chapters they will be longer and it'll be story telling of Kai, Clay, and Nya's past. It will be… pretty dark. But's that's all I'll say. This chapter is confusing, I know. Readers must be going like, WHAT'S INNER POTENTIAL? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY CONTROL OTHER ELEMENTS? WHY ARE YOU SO CRUEL TO CLAY?! (He's actually my favorite knight XD) it will be explained(except for that last question... just saying, I don't know:P) and if there is information you need to know that's not in the story, I will put it in my author's note so you guys know.
