A/N this is the last update from me for two weeks, I have to study. Sorry :(
Chapter 5: The curse of Thorus
Wu beckoned me to his room, disappointment shadowed his features. "I am disappointed
in you." He said. "Why are you disappointed in me?" I asked the old man. "You have not
yet attempted to shape-shift or harness your powers, you don't realise how important
your role is." Wu said, furrowing his brows together. "I'm sorry Wu, I have been distracted
with me love-life." I said, convinced he would believe me. "Hmmm, well if that's the case
than it's time for a story." Wu said, folding his aged arms together. "What kind of story?" I
asked, almost childishly. "You'll see. When the Overlord was against the First Spinjitzu
Master, he feared losing against him. So he created an egg, that egg had the young Lord
Thorus developing inside of it. The Overlord hid the egg in the shadows. Soon after the
Overlord fell and the egg was still hiding in the bleak shadows of Ninjago. Over many
centuries the egg hatched and Thorus was born, he would one day destroy Ninjago's
spirituality causing mass devastation. The First Spinjitzu Master (who was blessed with
long-life) heard of the news and created the Guardian of Dragons, a skilful warrior that
serves and protects dragons (as dragons hold the spirituality of Ninjago). This warrior
defeated Thorus before he rose to power and sent him to the Black Mountain, the darkest
and most remote places on the Island of Ninjago. The dragons were thankful and blessed
the necklace of the Guardian with immense powers (shape-shifting into a dragon,
camouflage and Imperial Vision). Many years later, the Guardian passed away and handed
the First Spinjitzu Master their necklace. The First Spinjitzu Master sealed the necklace
with golden power before putting it away. Many, many years later before the Spinjitzu
Master passed, he gave me, his youngest son the necklace. He told me about you and
how I would meet you." Wu said. I was awestruck that I was mentioned by the First
Spinjitzu Master, that was a high honour. "So, I need to start my training." I said. Wu
nodded. "I expect by tomorrow evening that you have shape-shifted at least three times."
He said. I nodded and left the room. The words of the story haunted me, did I have to
destroy something so terrible? The answer was yes and I couldn't escape that. I went
back to the dream I had a few days ago. That creature must of been Thorus. I shuddered,
he seemed horrible and hard to destroy. I wasn't a confindent person, that would surely
knock me back.
I was in the Sea of Sand, I decided to have a crack at shape-shifting. I lied to the ninja
and said I was out seeing a friend, which wasn't true. I centred myself and closed my
eyes. "Unleash the peaceful power of the dragon guardian." I said in my head. A weird
sensation entered me, I felt my body changing. I waited a few seconds to allow the
sensation to pass. I opened my eyes and looked at my arm...it was a dragons foreleg. I
was successful in shape-shifting.

The girl had morphed into a dragon before strangers very eyes. The stranger gasped and
ran off into the distance, ready to report to his master.
Enjoy and look out for more updates in two weeks. Sayonara!
