Kai POV: I've traveled though portals before, but this time is definitely the worse. It also doesn't help that I feel like I got hit with a wreaking ball.

After we ran though the light we found ourselves falling down a hill. Finally when I stopped I was so dizzy that I could move until I felt somewhat better. I moaned and sat up.

"You still alive?" Azure asked, sounding not that far away.

"Barely. You?" I responded.

"Lucky just a few bruises."

I looked over. She was also sitting up with a hand at her forehead. She had horns, wings, scales, and a tail.

"Ah! What the heck!?" I yelped.

"What?" She asked. Her eyes were slit.

"You have wings!"

"Oh. Right. You haven't seen me like this. This is what I really look like."

"Oh."

We got up and looked around. We were in a thick jungle.

"I think I know this place. Come in." She said and started walking.

Fortunately I was feeling a lot better than earlier so I could follow her on my own. We walked for a long time until she stopped and said, "I knew it."

In front of us was a camp of destroyed huts.

"You know this place?" I asked.

"Yeah. This is my home." She said and walked into the camp.

"Well can we hurry up. The others could be in trouble right now." I said, following.

She didn't respond. She stopped in front of one of the huts, probably hers, and went though her stuff.

"Didn't you hear me? The others-" I tried to say.

"I heard you. If you want to go just follow the path." She pointed to a dirt road, "It will take you straight to the gate."

"You're not coming?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't need to."

"Come on. You don't mean that. You want to help them."

"I did and now that's over. I'm home and I won't leave again."

"And that's just it?"

"Yep."

"Sorry but that seems too selfish for you."

She turned around and said, "What does that mean?"

"I might not know you well, but I do know that you aren't selfish like this."

"You don't know me at all!" She yelled.

"I know that you panicked when you saw that guy with the dragon."

That surprised her, "What does that have to do with anything!?"

"It means that you're scared."

"I'm not." She said coldly.

"Then tell me who he is."

"I don't know." She hesitated.

"Yeah right. Fine, stay here. See you never again." and I walked away.

I can understand that she's scared, but why not just face it and get it over with. Suddenly a jolt of pain shot though my body. I collapsed to the ground, grabbed my arms, and panted heavily as the pain course though me.

"Hey. Take it easy." Someone said. It was Azure. She patted my back and the pain subsided.

"That didn't feel good." I said and took some breathes.

"That was probably a side effect from all the time that you were poisoned with Blood Tear. Don't worry, you'll only be weak for a little while." She said while helping me up.

"Who said I'm weak. That just surprised me. You don't have to worry about me."

"Right." She didn't sound convinced.

A light appeared out of nowhere and engulfed us and when it faded we were in an old temple.

"What the?" She said.

"Do you know this place too?" I asked.

"Yeah but I've never been in here. This is the Temple of the Hidden Dragon."

We looked around and saw a pillar with something shining on top of it. We walked over and looked. Five dragon statuettes, all different colors, were in placements whil two more were empty.

"What are these things?" I asked.

"I heard when I was little that seven people that faced their truest fear, something that they wouldn't know about until their trial. Maybe these statuettes are how your friends activated the gateway. she said, staring at them.

"Why seven?"

"I vaguely remember someone mentain something about a power that was a part of the balance in Ninjago."

We kept looking over them until I said, "Maybe we are suppose to find the other two. Since it was my team that got these ones."

"But how? If there are trials then we would have been separated."

"Indeed, but this one is unique." Someone behind us said.

We both whirled around. It was an older man with pale white wings, gray horns, and dark blue slits eyes.

"Grandfather?" Azure said, shaking.

"Azure, my firestarter, you have grown beautifully. I am glad that you have lived during that night. But you are still missing something, aren't you."

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"You are lonely."

"No. I'm just fine." She said weakly.

"Azure, you are. You never wanted to be left alone like you were. I'm sorry to do that to you."

"It wasn't your fault! It was his!" She was crying now.

"But it was. I could have gone with you and for that I truly am sorry. But please don't isolate yourself. Go with him and make peace with yourself. For you and your family that has gone."

She kept crying, but nodded.

"As for you, young man. For you, your deepest fear is weakness. So don't want to be a burden to your friends, team, and family."

"Uh...Well...I'm sure that's not true."

"Ah. But it is. I'm sure taking care of your sister you had to be strong, since you were young. But it is okay to feel weak every once in a while. Remember that."

I sighed and nodded. With that he floated over, since was a spirit, and gave us both a statuette. Mine was red and hers was silver. He smiled and faded away. She sighed and wiped away her tears.

"Let's do this." and we turned back to the column and place them into their spots. The whole temple stared to shake and rumble. I have a weird feeling about this.
