Hello everyone I must say that I love waking up in the mornings to multiple reviews of my stories, it fills be with joy right before the six hour hell of high school. But enough with my life, I now present a fluffy chapter that foreshadows a few things and an overarching theme. The first three people who spot what I'm foreshadowing and the overarching theme will get exclusive mentions as background characters in the story.
Zane was sleeping peacefully, Lloyd was on a temporary mattress until his bed arrived. Zane had had a vision of the monastery burning sometime in the near future so he coated the inside walls of his bedroom with Ice. It didn't affect the room's temperature but it added flame resistance. Suddenly Lloyd woke up sitting up straight in bed sweating. He looked at the bigger bed and saw Zane. Doing what any young child would do after a nightmare, he went over to Zane and woke him up.
"What's wrong Lloyd?" asked Zane concerned as the young boy burrowed his face into Zane's chest crying "shhshsh, It's ok Lloyd, just tell me what's wrong" soothed Zane
"I had a nightmare about a big snake and you were hurt and… and" Lloyd sobbed and Zane hugged him tighter
"It's ok Lloyd it's ok, I'm not going anywhere" soothed Zane
"Can I stay with you the rest of the night?" asked Lloyd, sounding like the small child he was
"Of course you can" said Zane pulling the blanket over them both. Zane made sure lloyd was asleep before he himself went back to sleep. The next morning Zane woke up before lloyd hearing sensei banging on the door. Zane sighed this had been one crazy past few days. He set some of Lloyd's clothes out with some orange juice and a bowl of some sugary cereal and wrote a note
Lloyd
I have to train today but will be back in here to bring you meals and play a few video games with you. Please try to keep yourself entertained for the day and stay out of trouble, you start school tomorrow and i don't want you getting hurt or worse trying to sneak around the house.
-Love Dad
When Lloyd woke up he saw the stuff and saw that there was a fighter game set up on the tv for him to play. He smiled and got dressed before eating the cereal and sitting down on his new beanbag chair to play the game before finding the stash off cookie and milk in the mini fridge under the bed 'I have the best dad in the world' thought Lloyd leaning back to get more comfortable. A few hours went by before he felt someone sit on the edge of the bean bag.
"I hope you haven't filled up on cookies because I brought you a blt on rye with some potato chips and a soda" said Zane
"How did you know that was my favorite sandwich?" asked lloyd accepting the plate and can
"I woke up and you were talking about it in your sleep, you seemed to be dreaming about being on a cooking show" said Zane, lloyd blushed a bit with embarrassment at being caught talking in his sleep
"I've always wanted to learn how to cook and how to fight" said Lloyd
"Well once i get the other ninja on board with you staying here I can teach you how took cook and i can train you to become a ninja" said Zane with a smile as Lloyd bit into the sandwich
"Really?" asked Lloyd with his mouth full
"Only if you want to" said Zane
"I'd love to, thanks dad" said Lloyd eagerly
"You're welcome kiddo" said Zane affectionately ruffling Lloyd's hair
"Now, can you help me beat this level?" asked Lloyd, Zane laughed
"Sure son"
