So Dracul has short black hair with dark brown eyes. He usually wears a light grey shirt and light brown pants. He can be very ambitious and like causing trouble.

To SweetHeart114: Yeah, I find it easy to imagine Kai and Clay getting aggressive too. I feel like they're both very competitive.
Zane's POV
My brothers rushed back into the temple to play video games when I saw that it was lunch time. I quickly made my way to the kitchen and took out a large pot, poured water in it, then set it on the stove to boil.
Several minutes later I heard a dragon roar. Nya must have came back. I heard Kai and Clay talking to her about how they were going to be more careful when sparring. Nya was talking about how she went to buy Clay some clothes so he wouldn't have to wear Kai's.
"Pixal," I said, "Can you tell me more about Knighton?" I took out tomato sauce and basil from the fridge and four spaghetti boxes from the cabinet above the stove.
"Not much is known about it," Pixal responded, "Even though Prince Clay said that our two realms were once connected. There is very little information on it."
"Please continue," I told her, putting the spaghetti into the pot of boiling water. I then set the timer.
"It is known that Knighton is a realm very similar to ours," Pixal informed me, "The tales we hear about shiny knights in armour are from Knighton, as well as some of our designs on technology."
"What do you mean?" I inquired.
"Remember how Clay had talked about how Knighton is a high-tech world? Knighton looks a lot like New Ninjago City during the Rebooted era. The hover cars and hover roads were based off of old diagrams of Knighton's cars and roads."
"Do they have robots?" I questioned while pouring the tomato sauce and basil into a pan and heating it up.
"We do! We call them squirebots!" I turned around in surprise to see Clay at the kitchen door.
"It thought you were playing games with Jay," I replied.
"I was, but then Kai took the controller from me." I then realized that the screaming and yelling from the game room was indeed from Jay and Kai.
"The squirebots are used as servants, farmers, training dummies, and chefs. They're extremely useful. However, they are very limited in knowledge and sometimes their programing can be weird. I once met a squirebot who had a pet toaster! It also talked to it like a living thing and tried to give it a sandwich, but it's a toaster… They can't eat. Which is why I'm so surprised that you are so… perfect. I mean, your creator must have been very talented."
"Yes, my father was a great inventor," I replied, "However, I'm not perfect. There are several glitches and technical difficulties in my system, but Nya and Jay are able to fix them," I take out the pasta from the pot and put it into the pan of tomato sauce and basil. I then mixed it and put it into nine plates.
"So Nya and Jay are like your electricians, then?" Clay asked.
"Yeah, they invent things for us and fix all bugs in electronics. I'm guessing that Knighton is a high-tech place, so I reckon you're good with technology."
"I'm pretty good with technology," Clay stated, "But it's really Robin and Ava who do all the work. Everything my team has done is thanks to them, as well as the King. The King gives us amazing vehicles from time to time. It just might be because his daughter is part of the team, but he's a nice ruler. He's always kind to all,"
"If I may ask," I slowly said, "could you tell me more about your team?"
"Sure," Clay hesitantly replied, "As you know, I'm the leader of the team. I met my friends at the Knight's Academy. Besides me there's Macy, Lance, Aaron, Axl, Ava, Robin, and Merlok. Well, Merlok 2.0, I should say,"
"That's quite a lot of people," I said. Clay laughed.
"I guess, but it's big in the Fortrex. That's our base, which is a giant rolling castle. It's usually Aaron, Axl, Macy, Lance, and I who go out fighting. Merlok is always in the Fortrex as a hologram and Ava and Robin are both too young. Both are still twelve. Robin fights from time to time in a giant mech suit he built for himself and Ava is the one who sends my team and I Nexo Powers."
"What are Nexo Powers?"
"It's hard to explain, but it's basically Merlok's magical powers digitized. Some powers attack the monsters while some heal us. Anyways, Axl is the strongest knight on the team and wields an axe. He's always really hungry and spends most of his time eating, but likes to cook too. Aaron is always the thrill seeker who likes to fly with his hover shield shooting monsters with his laser bow. Lance is pretty lazy. He likes to order people to do stuff for him and hates doing things himself. He comes from one of the richest families in all of Knighton, so he is very spoiled. He's also a movie star. e had my team star in a movie with him once,"
"Really? Doesn't that happen often, though?" I asked.
"Not if you know there are monsters out there attacking innocent people. Plus, he gave me the most embarrassing role,"
"Can you say a line from that role?" I curiously said. I remembered the spaghetti and started to carry it into the dining room.
"Oh, it's embarrassing. I had to play a wimpy knight," I raised an eyebrow at him and he sighed, "I am so happy to be in your presence that I wet my knight suit… again," I laughed out loud.
"And who was 'your'?" I managed to choke out.
"Lance," Clay said annoyed. I roared with laughter. This has got to be the funniest thing I've ever heard! A Prince saying that he wet his pants!
"It wasn't all bad, though," Clay said, helping me carry the plates, "monsters attacked the set and ruined everything, but the camera kept on recording so they edited the movie to include that battle and changed my voice so it sounded like Lance," I couldn't stop laughing. This has never happened to me before! I don't understand why I can't stop laughing!
"So, what about Macy?" I asked him after I calmed down a bit. The table was all ready for lunch. Clay gave me a sad smile.
"She was always a true knight. Even though she is the princess of the realm, she would rather be out hitting monsters with her trusty mace. She hated being treated like a damsel in distress, but she can be reckless sometimes, which leads her to dangerous situations. I could always rely on her to get the job done, though," He stared blankly at the ceiling, "She was really nice. She didn't care that I was an orphan. She didn't judge me because I'm of that, unlike other people,"
"Did you… like her?" I asked. I sensed the presence of others. My brothers were just outside eavesdropping. Clay, who didn't seem to notice, sighed.
"Yes, I did like her," he dreamily said, "I loved her. I loved how she didn't back down to challenges. She helped lead my team when I was captured by the Book of Monsters. If she wasn't there, I would have been turned into an evil wizard named Montrux,"
"Did you ever tell her that you liked her?"
"No, I never did. Now I regret not saying anything," He sobbed, "I wish, so bad, that I told her. While it was still a time of peace,"
"Clay," Kai stated walking into the room. The rest followed, "You told me a lot of things about your team, but you say those events took place months ago. What happened recently?" Everyone took their seat at the table and started to eat.
"Everything was fine. For months after the battle with the lava monsters. It's just that…" Clay couldn't say any more. He tried to stop himself but he sobbed.
"I was foolish. I let my guard down for just a bit, because the greatest battle was won. The next thing I know I'm taken prisoner and sentenced to death. My friends are safe, though, but Macy is supposedly engaged to a person she hates. The love of my life, taken from me just because of my cursed powers!" Clay slammed his fist onto the table. His face showed bitter sadness.
My brothers and sister didn't know what to say. Clay had never told us that he was sentenced to death. By the way he talked about the King, it doesn't sound like he would want to kill Clay in any way. Kai quickly ate the rest of his food.
"How about we talk about this between the two of us," Kai said, getting up from his chair and walking out of the room. Clay followed his brother. Before Kai left, though, I saw him motioning for us to follow. I guess it's time to eavesdrop.
We quickly ate the rest of our food and silently crept up next to the door of Clay's room.
"So what happened?" I heard Kai said, "What happened to Knighton after the Book of Monsters was destroyed?" Silence filled the room.
"I won't force you to say it," Kai sighed, "But if you don't tell me, I don't know how to help you. I don't want you to suffer. You shouldn't have solve all these problems by yourself. I'm here for you, Nya is, and everyone else is. Whatever happened in Knighton, we can solve it together."
Silence followed.
"お願い(Please)！" Kai tried one more time. It seemed like Clay wasn't going to answer, but in the end he did.
"It all started couple of days ago…"
