Chapter 8 is here!
Disclaimer: We know the drill...I don't own anything from Ninjago...Sigh...
For Rainbowdragon01: This whole chapter is going to be about the Serpentine, just for you! :D!
Pythor/Skales was rubbing his head in frustration. That was 16th and a half time that Skales/Pythor shot down his ideas. He then began rubbing his chin in thought. He certainly didn't want Skales to feel resentment and hatred for him. It was just that sometimes Pythor wanted what was best for the Serpentine. And Skales wanted what was the best...for...the...Serpentine! Of course, they were working for the same goal. It was just that Pythor's ideas were more easily accepted than Skales'. And with Skales being Pythor, that meant...
'Hm, this may be a little degrading. But now that I'm not the leader, then that means less responsibilites on me! This is wonderful! I get to experience all the freedoms possible!'
He then laid back and experienced a flashback from his eariler days:
A little Pythor was slithering to keep up with his older brother, Pythonomor. He was struggling and struggling to keep up only to have a hand grab his neck and hold him back.
'Wait Pythor, you might not want to go in there.' He looked up at his older brother to explain.
Pythonomor then pointed to a large cave. It was really inviting inside, what with its exterior being neatly shaped and all. Pythor grabbed a stick and growled. He would fight anything inside it. But Pythonomor shook his head and led his little brother back home.
'Those caves would be the downfall of us all...If only we weren't ruthless, bloodthristy, and evil.'
'Pythonomor, being a leader means you must be ruthless and cold! That's the only way of being a good leader! I'll make a great leader.'
'Like I said, being a ruthless leader and those caves would be the downfall of us!'
Only one part of that story was right...
Skales/Pythor was taking being a leader quite nicely. Never before did he have the privilege of commanding the other generals and not treating them as equals. How he longed to see this day become reality! This was the greatest idea the goddesses had come up with, and it was all due to him wishing to trade lives with Pythor.
'How everything can turn out ssssssssso well isssssssss beyond me, but hey, I'm cool with it. At leassssssst Father will be sssssssssso proud of me!'
He then was reminded of earlier days, back when the original general had all the power:
'What I sssssssay goessssss! Am I not leader? Will you not lisssssssssten to me? I am the general of thissssss tribe and anything I ssssssay goesssss!'
A very timid little Skales was looking on in fear as his father was arguing with the general. His father then went into his room, Skales following close behind.
'Yesssssss, SSSSSSSkales?' His father inquired.
'Sss-sss-ssorry, Father. It's just that...well...I don't like how you are arguing with the general.' Skales burst out.
His father just chuckled and patted him lightly on the head.
'Everything will come in time. My ssssssssson, jusssssst be a good sssssoldier and do what is besssssssst for the SSSSSSerpentine if you don't become a general.'
Later that day, his father, his only living member of the family, was gone...
Pythor/Skales and Skales/Pythor grinned over the flashbacks. Oh yeah, this was going to be the best day ever...
A/N: Yeah, another short chapter. But it was worth it!
