CHAPTER 8

DREAM INTERPRETATION AND ASKING

Monday soon came upon the ninja. It was time to return to work. Teaching wasn't really the choice that the ninja would accept after being away for so long. As Jay once said, those that don't fight, teach. When they weren't fighting, they were teaching. When they got to the school, they looked to see that Dareth didn't make as much of a mess as they thought he would. The only concern that the ninja had for the school is the students.

Kai went inside his classroom and saw that his students weren't throwing things or messing around with things on his desk. Instead, they were in their seats, calm and settled, working on their morning assignment. Kai could see that a few of his students were new to the class. They must be from Zane`s old classroom. A school with only four teachers, including Nya, but without Zane. The students knew things would never be the same, but Kai was able to do the one thing to keep their minds off it all. He'll do the one thing he does best. Teach them things that weren't subjects from the future.

Kai set his things down and looked at his students. "Good morning, everyone." The kids looked at Kai and continued working. Kai sighed. "Listen, I understand you all are a bit scared and upset about what's going on. The thing is, the ninja took care of it. There's nothing else to worry about."

"Then why is some of Mr. Zane`s class mixed in with the other classes?" one of his students asked.

"Well, unfortunately, Mr. Zane is either no longer with us or missing. We're just not sure. So, for the time being, Mr. Zane`s class will be split up with all the other classes. So, with that said, let's begin with our day. Let's continue our morning assignment later. Right now, I'd like to teach you a little history lesson. One of my favorite topics to teach. Also being said, today we'll be learning about ancient Ninjago."

Kai went up to the board and began the lesson. Without one groan or grumbling from the students, Kai smiled while teaching.

Later that day, the students went outside for recess while the ninja were in the teacher's lounge. This time, Jay was finally able to keep his pudding cup safe. Sensei Wu gathered all the ninja to a large desk in the room.

"Here are the dreams," Wu said, laying down the written stories of the dreams on the table, "I tried to interpret them, but I could only see the images that you all could see. There is something I need to tell you. I had a dream that turned out to be a vision. It showed me the same images that you all saw. So it seems we only found four pieces of the puzzle."

"What part our we missing?" Cole asked.

"Just one," Sensei said, "It seems that the only person that has the dream next will dream it bit by bit. They'll see the whole thing without only seeing one part of it like you all did."

"I wonder who it could be," Kai said.

"Maybe it's Lloyd?" Jay guessed.

"Or Garmedon?" Cole said.

"Don't leave Misako out of any of this," Kai said.

I'm not sure it could be any of them," Wu explained, "Who knows? It could be someone that's not a ninja."

Nya came inside the lounge, looking sleepy and yawning like crazy.

Kai looked at his sister. "Are you alright, sis?"

"I'm just really tired," Nya said, yawning, "I didn't sleep so well last night."

"My senses tell me that you had a dream that was very mysterious," Sensei said.

"How did you know?" Nya asked.

"My senses tell me," Wu said, "Tell us about it."

"It was really weird," Nya said, "It looked like Zane was in it."

"Zane?" the ninja shouted.

"Explain," Sensei said.

"Okay, okay," Nya said, "I saw these two mysterious men going through the Birchwood Forest. They were heading out to find something. Their names weren't mentioned. They kept running until they were face to face with the Overlord. One of them was too scared and ran off. The other one stayed and fought him. He was going weak, and that's where we come in."

"Wait! We're in the dream?" Jay asked.

"No interruptions," Sensei said, "Continue, Nya."

"Alright," Nya said, "So we came in and began to fight. All of a sudden, this strange person with a cape on came up. He told us that this was his fight, but we still didn't back away. The Overlord slapped him away, making his hood fall off and revealing himself. That's when I saw who he was. It was Zane, but he was made out of titanium. Suddenly, this girl comes up and calls out his name. I'm not sure what her name was, but Zane ran up to her. The same boy that tried to fight the Overlord went up to the girl and told her to get away from Zane. She said no and he smacked her to the ground with his sword. That's as much as I got out of the dream before I woke up."

"Nya, how did you interpret their dreams?" Wu asked.

"I didn't know they had dreams," Nya said, "What do you mean I was able to interpret their dreams?"

"I've been trying to do it for the past few days, but you did all on your own," Wu explained, "You have been chosen."

"Chosen for what?"

"We have been searching seventy-five years for this particular person, and now we have found her. Nya, you are the Dream Teller."

"The what?"

"A Dream Teller. Someone who is able to interpret someone else's dream by dreaming it on their own as well. How were you able to receive this power? Who gave it to you?"

"I don't know. I'm just now figuring all of this out."

The school bell rang. It was time to return to class. Sensei looked at his students. "It seems our break is over. We will talk about this more when we get home. For now, let us get back to work."

The ninja and Nya left out of the teacher's lounge. Kai ran up to his sister. "Nya. Are you okay?"

"I guess so. Who knew that people would wait seventy-five years just to find someone like me?"

"I don't think this is a good idea. We need to make sure nobody in Ninjago ever finds out about this. The only people that should know are you, me and the others."

"I think we should let Sensei decide on this one." Nya sighed. "I'll see you at lunch."

Nya walked down the hall on her way back to her classroom. She was worried about all this. How did she become the Dream Teller?


Zane sat outside on his tree, watching Zeah walk around the forest. He had the tendency to want to ask her something, but he wasn't sure he could say anything. The falcon flew down and landed on Zane`s shoulder. Zane looked at his feathered friend.

"Look at her," Zane told his falcon, "Is she not the most beautiful girl you have ever seen? I have never seen anyone like her before. It was different with Pixal, ever since she... well... you know. I am not very sure if I should asked Zeah to spend time with me. Alone. Just Zeah and I." The falcon nudge Zane to go down there. "If you insist. I will do it."

Zane climbed down the tree and walked up to Zeah, who was busy playing with a raccoon. "Zeah, May I have a word with you?"

"Of course." Zeah sent the raccoon on his way. "What is it?"

"I want to ask you if you and I could spend some time together as friends. Just the two of us."

"Zane, you are the only friend I have out here. Who else would want to ask me?"

"I thought it would be a good idea if you and I got to know each other better. I do not know you very well, and you do not know me as well as you thought you did. Perhaps a day together would give us a chance. Will you accept my offer?"

"Why should I not? I would be happy to know the real Zane. I accept."

"Would tomorrow sound okay?"

"Tomorrow sounds wonderful. I will see you then."

Zane smiled as Zeah walked away. Tomorrow would be the day. Tomorrow was a day to be truthful. After all, Zeah deserves to know. She needs to know as much as himself.


NYA IS A DREAM TELLER. HOW COOL IS THAT?

ZANE FINALLY ASKED ZEAH TO SPEND TIME WITH HIM. IS THIS A DATE?
