The streets were very crowded; the Parade of Honoring was in town. It was celebrated to honor those who have passed during the years of Night while on the Dark Island. Even people who, for whatever reason, got left behind in Ninjago during the years of Night are brought to minds of their loved ones.

This detail is probably the least important to Nya; it rarely happens, because nobody would ever be so foolish to miss the boats to the island.

Now, Jay and Nya walk through Jamanakai Village, glancing at the parade from time to time. Jay even makes a stop at a cotton candy stand, and buys two treats for both of them.

Immediately afterwards, Jay pauses, and looks straight ahead. He laughs, as he says, "Is that Kai in that apple tree?"

Hearing her older brother's name grabs Nya's attention. "What? Where?" she asks as she swirls her head around. But Jay points to the bare apple tree; one of many since the sun has begun it's set.

And there he was, watching the parade from the tallest fork in the tree. Nya calls his name, and he flinches but doesn't turn around. "Kai!" Nya yells again, and this time, Kai does turn around, but after a moment gives her a cold look before turning back to watch the parade. Jay stands beside Nya.

"Is he still mad at you for what happened?" Jay asks, sounding astounded, although he had predicted so. She nodded, anyway.

"Well, it was pretty upsetting to him..." Nya mutters, a little bit to herself. Suddenly, she didn't want to talk about it; the incident that had happened not long ago had changed the sibling's relationship drastically.

Jay sees this, so he breaks the conversation, and grabs her hand tentatively. Nya doesn't pull away, thinking Jay is just comforting her.

But to him, the coldness of her fingertips and the softness of her hands made Jay almost completely melt. He had no idea what this feeling was that kept recurring, but he never wanted to let go of it.

"It's okay," Jay tells her. "Don't force it. He'll come around." Nya makes an unsure smile, nods, and Jay leads Nya to Mayor Dareth's mansion.

Mayor Dareth was a very conceited, dishonest, and a jerk of a person. He kept all of his trophies over his bed, and his bedspread was a picture of his face. The only reason why the pillows weren't the same was because Dareth idiotically fired the maid that manufactures his bed items because she had made his eyes brown instead of blue, like he wanted.

However, Mayor Dareth has proved to be a good mayor more than several times, although he is a major idiot. This is why Jay and Nya now trust him in appropriately delivering the important message around Ninjago.

The two walk to the end of the street, and stop at an end of a crosswalk. Right across from them was Mayor Dareth's amazing mansion, which was big, white, and seemingly tall enough so if one would climb to the roof, all they had to do was reach an arm's length to the sky and be able to touch the moon.

And to them, it looked just so.

Jay and Nya walk up to the gate cautiously; they were unsure of how the two guards would react to their unexpected visit. And it appeared they were right to be worried.

As soon as the two were in front of the gate, the two guards clashed their spears together, blocking their passage. "Um, excuse us," Jay says politely, but assertive. The guards don't budge.

Nya was much different in her approach. "Sirs, if you don't let us pass, I'll alert authority you are blocking passage to people with information of Night. Please let us through." Jay looked at his friend in surprise, as are the guards. They were not expecting a couple of kids having valuable information as such. The two guards unclasp their spears, while the one on the left presses the button next to him, unlocking the gate.

"Thank you." Nya tells them, and the two men tip their top hats. Jay and Nya pass through.

Once they're sure they're safe, the two burst out laughing.

"Who trespasses on Mayor Dareth's mansion?" a booming voice echoes through the halls, rattling a giant painting of said mayor, as soon as the friends stepped foot inside.

"Jay Gordon and Nya Smith, sir," Jay's shaky voice rings out. "We saw the tide turn, and we ask you to spread the message somehow to let people know." Suddenly, footsteps patter on the floor, and Mayor Dareth is revealed. He was cloaked in a brown robe- his favorite color - and his caramel hair was perfectly combed; in fact, he took out a comb at that moment, and brushed it right on his stairwell in front of them.

"You saw the tide turn, hm?" Mayor Dareth asks, walking down the rest of the stairs, then stopping. "Well, come inside and shut the door, you're letting the cold in!" Jay lets Nya walk in first, then closes the door.

"Now," the mayor continues. "Where were you when it happened? The wave must have been massive, from your points of view!" What surprised Jay and Nya the most was how genuinely interested the mayor was at hearing of their experience; for once, his attention had been directed quickly from himself to them. And just as well; Night was to be taken seriously.

"Well," Nya starts. "Jay and I were climbing the cliff when it happened. He wanted to get a better look at the ice, so we lowered ourselves down, and then the wave came."

At this, the mayor's eyes were wide in concern. "That wave could have killed you! Were you two alone?" Jay and Nya glance at each other, wondering what to say. Climbing alone, or even being in the woods alone was frowned upon, but neither of the children knew if it was illegal or not.

"No, we weren't. There was an...elderly man with us. But he ran off to do something, and we haven't heard of him yet." Jay let a lie slip between his teeth. Thankfully, the mayor was not that good with detecting lies from teenagers such as themselves, so he believed them.

"Okay, well, I'll keep an eye out for him, then." Mayor Dareth said, then stands up. Sensing their meeting has ended, the duo also stands. "Well, thank you, you two, for delivering this. I'll send letters to every doorstep in the area, letting everyone know. Good day."

Saying their goodbyes, they both walk out of the mansion, and past the gate. Then, they broke into a simultaneous run.
