Cole sat alone in his and the ninja's room, where he lay, head in his hands. He team- no his family was falling apart at the seams. Jay and Nya had broke up a few days ago, nya broke it off because she needed to be with her brother more. Kai was still morning Skylor's death, and often woke from PTSD-triggered nightmares. Even falling into flashbacks, the ninja had all but lost the master of fire to his grief. Cole and Zane were doing everything to hold their makeshift family together, but it was like trying to drown a fish. Pointless.
"Cole?" Jay asked, and the master of lightning walked in.
"What's up, bluebell?" He Teased, walking over and ruffleing his friend's hair.
"Kai's mad at me because I said Jurassic park, and it has amber in it, and I made him think of Skylor, so now's he's upset," Jay explained, and Cole nodded, trying desperately to be understanding.
"He's still upset that she died, just give it time," Cole Answered. Jay nodded.
"Alright, I guess." He mumbled walking out of the room, and Cole glanced out the window just in time to see a doe standing in a patch of sunlight bound into the woods. He grinned at it for a moment, before walking onto the deck and climbing to the ground. It would be nice to walk in the woods. He wandered amonsted the tresses and patches of sunshine, splashing in some puddles left over from a recent rainstorm.
"Qumrauj? Wi wr jumggt tlh?" Asked a silvery sounding voice, and Cole turned around to see a girl, around his age standing in a patch of sunlight. Her skin was pale like the moon, and her gingerbread-colored hair fell is flowing waves around her shoulders.
"Uhhhh..." was his only answer? He didn't understand a word she had said!
"W'y Iwgxuj, vamr'i tlhji?" She asked, after looking idapointed upon seeing his face,
"I... um... don't speak that?" He mumbled, observing her. Despite her beauty, she wore a dreaa made from deerskin, and her feet were bare.
"Vamr?" She replied, obviously not understand his language either. She looked at him strangely, a split second before four other people dress similarly to the girl leapt down from the trees, surrounding all wielded spears, SHARP spears! He put his hand up to show that he wasn't a threat.
"Fhr- au kik plrawpo!" The girl Yelled, looking as if she was pleading for his freedom.
"Iahr wr!" A older woman hissed, backhand the girl with gingerbread-colored hair. She staggered backwards, face red. Cole resisted the urge to go and ask if she was ok, when the woman turned to him. She had black hair and green lips, "Val mju vam, mpk vamr mju val klwpo auju?"
He just stared, what the FSM did she mean?
"I don't speak that." Was his dumb answer.
"Rwu awy he," the woman said, and two men walked up to the master of earth and looped thick, rope-like vines around his arms.
"What's going on?" He Asked, as they lead him away, leaving the gingerbread-haired girl gapeing after them, as if she wanted to save him.
Hi! Fun fact, the people's language seems like, gibberish, but it's actually real words with the letters swapped out for other ones. In fact, I have a cod sheet cuz' I can't Rember some of them... I'll post it in the last chapter, so you can go back and decode stuff if you want, but the language will not be revealed just yet.
