Chapter Eleven
Cole's POV
Something landed on deck. Startled, I sat up. I ran out the door and up on deck, scythe ready.
"Shhh!" Said Cresent, who was standing by the entrance to the deck. We slowly creaked open the door to see the Ultra Dragon, Sensei Wu, Nya, and some girl I didn't recognize. I walked out on deck.
"Who is that?" I asked, gesturing to the girl. She looked at me, hurt.
"I-I am L-lily. Mr. Wu h-here said h-he knew a-a p-place that I-I could c-call h-h-home." She introduced herself. Lily was a awful stutterer.
"Sorry. I am Cole, ninja of Earth." I apologized. She gave me a weak smile. Then Lily turned back to Sensei.
"C-can you p-please ex-explain why I am h-here?" She pleaded. Sensei nodded.
"Lily, I am your uncle. You are the master of all elements, like your brother. However, your brother is the known elements. Fire, ice, earth, and lightning. You are unknown, which is dragons, wind, water, and plants." Sensei explained. Lily, Nya, and I stared at him like "Whaaaa..?" And he sighed.
"Go to bed. Lily, you will be sleeping with Nya and Cresent." Lily followed Nya below decks, and I walked over to Sensei.
"Can you tell me more about Lily?" I asked. Sensei nodded.
"Misako had two children; Lloyd and Lily Garmadon. Twins. However, their Uncle Wu saw a prophecy that said only the master of the known can fight their father. The master of unknown still had to wait for their time to come.
"Heartbroken, Misako had to give the girl, Lily, to an orphanage. Lily could not know her parentage.
"Years passed. The final battle happened, and Lloyd had defeated the Overlord and saved his father. Now it is Lily's turn." He looked at me seriously. "I must send everyone to look for the other three ninjas of unknown. We already have Cresent. The other three must be found before Tripere does and turns them evil."
"Who is Tripere?" I asked.
"The first master of fire. Cresent's father. Ninja to the first spinjitzu master. The burning one. The fallen flame. He has many titles. You fought him earlier today." Sensei shuddered. "The man was evil, even when he was good. He lived to torment and torture. Then, his beliefs were correct, even though his tactics weren't. Now, neither is right. You must stop him before it's too late.
"On that happy note, Cole, please, get some sleep. I am exhausted." Sensei walked away, leaving his tales swirling in my head. I wish someone could write all of the important people in Ninjago. Easier to read then hear.
I was going to have a hard time falling asleep.
