Ok so this is the last part to this as a one shot, after this chapter I'm turning Fate of the Broken into it's own story.
Zane woke up several hours later feeling a lot better, granted that was probably due to the fact that he could feel his mother's claw running gently through his hair and his father's hand on his shoulder. A wave of peace washed over him and he fell back to sleep, much too comfortable to get up. Shard lifted Zane into her wings and she thought she saw a smile on her son's face.
"Shard, in the hussle and bussle of yesterday I never got to tell you something" said Julien, looking at his wife with pure love and devotion in his eyes.
"Yes Robert?" said Shard
"I love you, and I'm honestly glad you're here with me, not a day went by where I didn't worry about you, the constant Oni attacks and other hostile dragons" said Julien
"Oh Robert, I've missed you too, when Zane found me guarding the shurikens of ice i wondered where you were and when I had to leave because the other heads were needed in our home realm I couldn't help but worry about you and Zane" said Shard before kissing Julien passionately. Any one looking in the window would have found an angel kissing a dragon to be really weird but for the little family it was normal. There was a knock at the door and the two broke apart. Shard set Zane back on the bed and went to answer the door
"Mr. First Spinjitzu master sir" exclaimed Shard
"Hello to you too Mrs. Julien, I was wondering if I could speak with your son" said The FSM
"He's sleeping at the moment but he should be up soon, would you like to come in for a cup of tea or something?" asked Shard
"That sounds lovely" said the FSM walking into the house and sitting on the couch
"So why do you need to speak with my son?" asked Julien
"Well I've been watching over ninjago and have come to realize that events of the past week have severely traumatized my grandson, i came by to see if there was anyway I could convince Zane to take another position instead of archangel of death, He'd still be an archangel but mainly in charge of looking after Lloyd. He would of course still live here with you two but be able to go to Lloyd and only Lloyd if need be." said The FSM accepting a cup of tea from shard
"As wonderful as that sounds it is ultimately my son's choice" said Shard sitting next to her husband
"Of course, although i will need his answer before the end of the week" said the FSM
"Huh? What's going on?" asked Zane coming out of his room rubbing his eyes
"Good morning sweetheart, did you sleep well?" asked Shard getting up to hug her son
"Yeah, better than I have in a while, so what are you guys talking about?" asked Zane
"Well for starters you won't be in charge of death anymore" said The FSM
"Really?" asked Zane perking up
"You'll be in charge of making sure Lloyd has the emotional support he needs, you'll only be able to appear to him" said The FSM
"Are you sure he'd want to see me, especially after what i needed to do to maintain the balance, he might be angry at me" said Zane hesitantly
"If you explain things to him I'm sure he'll be more angry at Kai than you" said the FSM
"Alright i'll do it but can i just have a couple days with my parents first?" asked Zane
"Of course, you can start on Saturday after Misako and Skylor arrive" said The FSM
"Thank you sir" said Zane
"You're welcome, you've done enough for ninjago, you deserve an easier life now" said the FSM walking out the door. Once the door was closed Zane. walked over to his mom and transformed back into his dragon form, curling up at her feet. Julien went over to the fireplace to light it, it was a chilly morning, before going to make some breakfast. Shard looked down at her son and smiled, he looked so peaceful. She wrapped her wings around him as she felt him snuggle closer to her. She knew in her heart that her family would eventually be OK, now all she had to do was tear that terrible mother Misako a new one when she arrived
