"U-Uh, Lily? I'm not sure we should do this!"
Lily looked up at him from the water, she was trying to help him gain his Dragon status, or Dragon Potential, but Kai wanted no part of it, this was too dangerous. "Come on, bro! Just jump! Try to imagine yourself taking off with wings on your back!" she called encouragingly. Kai looked down on the cliff and his heart skipped a beat, he was so high he thought he might hurl, or jump out of his own skin, how could he do this? It was merely impossible!
He thought of turning around, but the Dragons were watching him and he didn't want to look like a coward, he had to be brave even in these types of moments. So with one huge breath he ran and jumped, "AHHH!" Kai tried to think of himself flying, Lily watched what he was trying to do but seeing that he was too frightened she turned herself and caught him before he hit the water, "Whoa! Kai its ok, I got you." Kai opened his eyes and looked at her, he was a bit angry at her for making him do that, "How could you make me do that! I nearly plummeted to my death!"
"Not really," Lily corrected him, "I was trying to teach you how to reach your Dragon potential, that's all."
"Well is that how most of them find it?! Because that didn't work for me!" Kai screeched, irritated. Lily chuckled and set him down on dry land, which Kai was thankful for, though he could tell the Dragons were looking at him as if he were a stranger, again he felt uneasy. Lily began to explain, "You see, most of our Dragon status is reached when we become one with our element, or at least when we fixed some sort of crisis/problem, that's how it usually goes, but some can be reached by pushing your limits."
"Oh, well pushing my limits isn't for me," Kai stated. Lily chuckled, "I can see that..."
Kai looked at the water and shuddered, for some reason he could tell it was freezing cold in there, good thing he didn't land. Kai turned to Lily, "What about becoming one with my element?"
Lily had begun to approach the forest, "Perhaps that will work, but sadly we don't have a place for Fire Dragons at this moment."
"Then why are there fire dragons around?" Kai asked curiously glancing at the fire-breathing lizards just flying away into the horizon. "They head towards Torch Fire Mountain and only come when they are needed," Lily responded. Kai looked as the Fire Dragons disappeared from view, "Oh." Lily grabbed Kai by the hand and lead him towards the heart of the island, "Hey!"
They were back at the palace, and this confused Kai until Lily ran inside to get something, he waited a while and then glanced at her in surprise when she took out two fan-like dragon wings, similar to what Jay had made back when they had jumped off of the Floating Ruins. "First, we'll have to get you used to heights," Lily explained, motioning to the paper wings. Kai gulped, this was not going to be any easier wasn't it?
Once Kai had fastened the wings, Lily flew him up on top of the highest cliff on the island to practice, and she even stayed in her Dragon form in case things went wrong. Kai took one look down onto the ground and nearly threw up, he was not prepared for this, even with structured paper wings. "U-Uh, can we do this another day?" he asked, shaking.
"Aw come on, bro, don't tell me your afraid of heights," Lily uttered remorseful.
"What! Who told you that! I'm not afraid of heights!" Kai yelled. Lily raised her arms, "Ok ok! Jeez, easy bro, I'm just saying, if you are its not going to help at all with this." Kai glanced down again and shuddered, "O-Ok...sure." Lily landed next to him and saw his expression, she put a hand on his shoulder, "Hey, if you don't want to, you can just back out, nobody will judge you."
Pfft, yeah sure, not that there's any dragons around that will he thought. But outside he had a different approach, he looked down and whispered a silent prayer to himself, then he turned to his sister and nodded, "Yes I'm doing it."
So Kai spread his paper wings attached to his arms, and got himself ready, Lily stared behind him, Kai looked down and thought to himself, Please let this be a dream. He then jumped and started rapidly flapping his wings, but it didn't make him glide, he panicked and screamed. Lily gasped and dove after him, reaching him in time before he could merely touch the surface of the water. Kai clung to her like a girl and her teddy bear, Lily sighed and smiled, this was going to take a while.
(Well! Kai's first day of Dragon training didn't go so well...lets hope he finds a way to harness the fire inside him before Garmadon figures out how much power he holds, and lets not forget Cole and Jay! Will they run into Andrea again? Perhaps! Stay tuned for more updates each day!
