Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING!
A month later, the royal family still hadn't returned. A letter came for the ninja in the mail.
"Dear friends,
Me and my family have decided to prematurely reside in the glacier barrens. We will be living in a palace of Winters design. We will not be returning to the destiny Bounty however if you care to visit don't hesitate. If I am needed my Falcon will alert me as of the fact I have put him on patrol.
Best Wishes,
Zane J." Kai said
Everyone but the adults were shocked.
"Zane isn't coming back?" Jay asked
"Yes but it's probably for the best and besides Zane has his own family and needs a place just for him, his family to call their own. Plus it gives him a permanent location for his people to find him,, it also gives them more privacy." Said Wu
"Hey, Why don't we drop in for a visit?" Kai asked
"Yeah we haven't see them for a month and I want to see this castle. Nya sent course to the Glacier Barrens." Said Cole. When they arrived in the Glacier Barrens, the first thing they saw an enormous castle castle made entirely out of ice. They landed the ship and walked up to the door, Then Garmadon knocked on the door. Winter opened it, and upon seeing the ninja called to her father.
"Daddy, They're here." Winter called to her farther. Winter led the ninja in, The ninja were looking around in awe, at the detail in the castle. Zane and Pixal came down the stairs.
"Winter, I just put your sister to bed, and you know that it echos in here, besides your father and I saw the ship from the balcony so we already knew they were here." Said Pixal while went off to do a little training in one of the other rooms. Zane looked at his friends and smiled.
"Welcome to my new home, why don't you follow us to the parlor and we can catch up?" Said Zane, the ninja followed the king and queen, everyone noticed a dramatic change in Zane. Not only were Zane and Pixal were wearing their royal regalia, but they seemed to have this air of power and nobility. Zane also seemed to have an air of pride, accomplishment and belonging that no one had seen before. They entered the parlor, and sat down om couches of ice with satin cushions, while a cold fire blazed in the fire place. Pixal brought out blueberry tea and a fruit cake. While everyone talked and laughed, Wu noticed that all around the room were pictures of the royal and above the mantle, a large family crest was carved into the wall. The crest was a shield divided into four sections, one depicted a falcon, another contained Zane's elemental symbol, the third was the symbol Zane's father had used, and the fourth section contained a shrunken. Under the shield was a ribbon that read "nos erat titanium." Wu smiled at last Zane had a family and a home that we could call his own, and now Zane could at last live up to every exception of him. After tea Zane took everyone on a tour of his castle. All the ninja were amazed at the splendor and beauty of flawless ice architecture. Pixal went upstairs to check on Nix and Zane led the others into the final room which was the training room. Winter was throwing shrunkens at an ice training dummy, when she saw her father she ran up to him, and she gave him a hug.
"Daddy, I finish training for today." Said Winter.
"Ok, why don't you play in your room for a bit, I'll call you down for dinner when it is time." Said Zane as he smiled at his daughter. Winter ran upstairs to her room. Pixal came back downstairs holding Nix. The baby Nindroid was babbling and cooing and she was dressed in a little white dress, knitted pink slippers, and a silver tiara. Suddenly Nix looked around and smiled.
"Ninja." said Nix, Zane and Pixal looked at each other, glee in their eyes. Nix had just said her first word. Garmadon and Misako remembered Lloyds first word and how proud they were. Now a younger set of parents were getting to experience this pride. Zane lifted his baby girl into the air, where she squealed with delight. Zane's eyes shone with a look that just radiated pride.
"She crawling yet?" Asked garmadon
"Yes, She started about a week ago." Zane replied
That night the ninja went back to the bounty to eat dinner, while the royal family ate in their large dining. Around 8:00 that night the ninja left the glacier barrens, and went back to New Ninjago City. Back at the castle Zane and his family were in the family room. Winter was playing a video game Nix was in her play pen and Zane and Pixal were asleep on the couch. At 0:00 Zane Pixal woke up and put Winter and Nix to bed. They then went to go watch a romantic movie.
