Cole woke up first. Sensing the heat of the sun starting to warm the rock door he had put up quickly. Or at least he thought that he got up first. Bree was no longer in his arms and as he quickly looked around neither in the cave it appeared. Jumping up he vanished the door and bolted outside.
"Bree! Bree?" Cole called out quickly. Looking around.
"What? Why are you yelling at me?" Bree had apparently not gotten far and was sitting on the rocky outcroping just outside the little cave.
"Jesus Bree! I wake up and you're gone. Out the door and everything. Don't fucking do that." Cole growled at her while he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her. Their height difference so great that while Bree sat she was eye level with him and it made her smile.
"I just want to see what the sunrise and weather looked like. I couldn't really remember the weather patterns for down below as a child. I knew that the sand storms came and went. It will make searching must easier in the daytime." Bree told him.
Peaking around him when she saw the others weren't up yet she pulled him closer and wrapped her legs around his waist. Sighing and she hugged him. It was less erotic and more comforting. Well at least that was what Bree had intended. Cole snorted in amusement and a tinge of embarrassment when his arms and other things powered on. She giggled and leaned back to look him in the face.
"You think you're funny" Cole grunted.
"I know I'm funny" She chirped.
"Ya'll aren't that funny." Harumi walked out of the cave. Morro trailing behind her.
Cole turned a little in Bree's arms to look for Lloyd. Raising an eyebrow at either his absence or him still sleeping.
"Did you finally kill him this time" Bree asked in amusement.
"No, dudes out like a light still." Morro replied yawning.
"I am worried about him" Cole said. Huffing and looking around at the ruins of Djinjago like Bree had been.
"I am worried about the fact that Bree has seen a detailed future for each one of use. But you've never mentioned knowing if Lloyd survives this shit hole or not" Rumi said scathingly.
Bree raised her hands in a palm up gesture. Hoping down out of Coles arms and down off the sandy rock she was sitting on.
"I have only inadvertently see that we do survive. I don't always go looking. The magic doesn't always work like that. But maybe I should" Bree mused.
"Sweetheart. Whatever you do or don't see. Don't tell him the explicit parts. Or... if its not exactly the ending any of us want" Cole admonished her.
"Yes Cole I am dumb enough to tell him he dies" Cora snapped in annoyance, her earlier good mood vanished. She walked into the cave and vanished from sight.
"I meant if you seen him railing somebody. But hey that too" Cole called after her.
"Eww" Harumi told him.
"She sees that shit?" Morrow asked.
"She sees future stuff. No control over what it is. But it usually pertains to those closest to her" Cole tried explaining.
"Still eww" Harumi said.
Cora softly padded into the cave and over to Lloyd while he was sleeping curled on his side.
"Lloyd, wake up. Lloyd?" Bree spoke quietly.
Deciding if she should push her luck and try and get any sort of read on him while he was sleeping. Smirking when Llloyd didn't wake and Bree knew she couldn't be blamed for seeing anything if she was just waking him up. Reaching out with her bare hand the instant she touched him her eyes went flat white and she pushed hard. Trying to see into the future as much as possible.
Sand so much flying blowing sand. Lloyd on his elemental dragon. Flying over hoards of ghouls below. A whole lot of ghouls. All five of them searching around the remains of Djinjago. Flying near a different mountain. Rocs everywhere. It was daytime at least and the Rocs where zipping around the elemental dragons, curiously trying to get a better look. At least they weren't trying to eat them. Zipping foreword to Lloyd diving on his dragon during a fight and catching someone. They had dark hair and clothes so it was probably not Rumi. Switching rapidly to another scene with them creeping along the ground. It looked like ruins of some kind. It was dark so hard to see colors or what the ruins were actually of. Great that could mean that it wasn't necessarily even here in Djinjago. It flashed to another fighting scene with so much screaming. Herself and Rumi on the ground covering their ears at the noise. Then immediately went to a vision that Bree had seen before. A little boy dropping his icecream cone on the sidewalk. It looked many years in the future. Hundreds even. Bits of old architecture and new mixed together. Vehicles Bree couldn't place. People that looked Ninjagian in heritage and then so many others. Possibly people from other realms. She saw people that looked like paler versions of Faith and Karlof and she almost laughed. She knew they would have children but they must have a whole lot. Bree tried to push harder and was interrupted by someone else grabbing her shoulder and shaking her free of the vision.
"Oh what the heck." Bree said scowling. Her eyes clearing and going back temporarily to a burning purple before she blinked again and got them to their usual gray.
"I think you tried to wake me up and had a vision. You've been stone still and with a hand on my shoulder for a min. You didn't even move when I got up and called for Cole" Lloyd told her uneasily.
"Yea sorry about that. It happens sometimes" Bree said. Glancing up at Cole as she stood. He knew she had done it on purpose and just rolled his eyes at her while he had his arms crossed over his chest leaning up against the cave wall.
Lloyd and Bree started out to the cave mouth. Cole putting an arm around Bree as they walked out.
"So what did you see? Anything helpful?" Lloyd asked.
"We are searching Djinjago. Different areas. Found a bunch of Rocs, daytime so they weren't trying to eat us thank god. Found ruins, but we are on the ground in the dark so I couldn't even hazard a guess to when or where. A few scenes of battles. That horrific screaming noises again. That was unpleasant. And then jumped foreword to a vision in Ninjago that I have seen before. But I really have no context of. So not super helpful" Bree said trailing off in annoyance.
Her magic was sometimes helpful and sometimes not. She was hoping to see so much more but Lloyd had shaken her out of it before she did. All five of them stood together on the ledge. Looking out over the land below the morning sky had changed over to pink and orange hues.
"I had forgotten how beautiful the pink skys were" Bree breathed out.
"Wait what, it stays this color?" Harumi asked.
"Not every realm has blue skys Rumi" Bree chuckled.
For once Harumi didn't have a reply. The skys were gorgeous and without the sandstorm they could see for miles. She should have grown up here. With Bree and her family. And she most defiantly felt a twinge of sadness that no matter how much Bree told her. She wouldn't have those memories, she never got to fully experience it herself. She could remember bits of pieces of her family, playing with Bree. But not much else.
"So where do we go search first." Cole asked her.
"I was thinking north. There are some plains and then another set of mountains before the coast, the city was in the clouds about them. We might find ruins or maybe even a portal. But at least some fresh water and food on the way" Bree answered.
"Food is always good" Cole grunted.
"Of course you're hungry" Bree teased him. Laughter turning to a squeal as Cole quickly grabbed her and hurtled off the edge without pulling his elemental dragon up first.
Lloyd Morro and Harumi peaked over the edge listing to Bree yell the whole way down until a burst of orange and the roar of Coles elemental dragon drowned out Brees yelling.
"Someday hes gonna do that and she is going be real pissed" Harumi mused.
"Yup" Morro added.
"Try that with me and I'll be worse than pissed" She told him seriously.
"Wouldn't dream of it princess" Morrow replied. Drawing a half smirk from Rumi.
"Eww" Lloyd grunted out before tossing himself off the cliff side. He didn't need to hear any more of that thank you very much.
