"I was put in another room, they thought I was too much of a threat." She chucked, and I smiled. Zuthy walked up next to Lauren and I. "Paris, will you accept the duty of being the next Dragon Keeper?"

"I do."

Lauren's POV:

The yellow dragon, Zuthy told us how to go back to the realm of Ninjago. He had also told us how to return, "There's a hidden cave north of Jamanakai village, enter it and you'll be able to visit." After thanking him, we had parted our ways and returned to find the night sky of Ninjago. "You ready to head back?" Paris asks, as I nod. A mixture of yellow and violet emerged from thin air, as our elemental dragons are formed.

We had flown around for around ten minutes, until familiar voices rung our ears. "Lauren!" "Paris!" Turning around, we both saw all six speeding toward us with their own dragons. "Where were you?! You both suddenly disappeared without any trace to follow!" Zane urgently asks.

"It's a long story, we'll tell you when we get back." Paris replies, "I'm starving anyways." Zane had shown the way back to the Bounty, which was only a mile away from where they found us. The others kept asking questions, which we kept putting off. When we got there, supper was already ready. Paris explained everything to the others, about the whole "Dragon Keeping" situation, and how there's a realm just for dragons.

"Wouldn't that mean that the Overlord is from that realm?" Jay asked suddenly, "We don't even know what he is, Jay." Cole answers. I look at Paris, her hair covering her eyes and her hands shaking. "He's pure evil, that's what he is." Kai adds into the conversation. Paris suddenly stands up shakily, her face still covered. "I'm not hungry," She speedily walked out of the room, leaving everyone quiet in their seats. Everyone was staring at each other, asking themselves what had just happened.

"Let me go talk to her." Lloyd said as he removed himself from the room.

Paris' POV:

Memories of my past crept into my thoughts, haunting me like they have done for the past few years. I leaned against the railing of the Bounty, staring at the scenery beneath it. I heard footsteps coming from behind, but didn't turn to see who it was. "Hey."

I glanced to see the infamous green ninja standing next to me. Not bothering to respond, I continued to stare down at the world beneath us. "Are you okay? Did someone say something wrong?" Lloyd broke the evening silence, "If I told you, you'd want to kill me.." My voice was low, hoping for him not to hear what I said. "I promise that won't happen, I'm here to help."

Glimpses of my past found it's way into my vision, memories of three very special people. I slightly winced, holding back my tears. "Why do you care anyways?" I looked over to him, who was staring at me. "Because your one of us now, and ninja stick together."

I sighed, "You really want to know, do you?" Memories and pictures kept flooding into me. Thoughts of my friend in Orange, dreams of my partner in Gray, and memories of my brother in Blue. 'Stop, stop, stop!' All together, it had all stopped. I snapped back into reality, and looked up at the greenie.

"I'm the Overlord's daughter." I turned my back toward him, "I'm sure I'm going to be labeled as the 'The next villain of Ninjago' or something. I've already lost so much." Quiet had returned for only a brief moment, until a hand was placed on my right shoulder. "I know how you feel, I was Lord Garmadon's son. Just because you are the Overlord's daughter, doesn't mean you are a villain, or going to be hated for it. It doesn't change the amazing person you are."

Turning around, I smiled. For years, I haven't been able to do so. All of the chaos in my life has caused me to focus on the worse of things, then the best. "Thanks, Lloyd." He also had a smile on his face, "Let's go back inside." I nodded in agreement, as we returned to the area before.

We continued to talk about other things, after that no one brought up the Overlord, or what happened. We just talked, until the night grew darker and our sleepiness grew stronger. Lloyd and I were the last ones up, until we both headed to our rooms and drifted to a sleep.

"Fight it!

"Remember who you are!"

"Paris!"

Destruction and fire reigned the forestry around us. Laughing and familiar screams filled the air. My old home, burning to the ground. My friends in my memories, helpless and wounded.

"This isn't you!"

This wasn't me, but something else. Something I couldn't, and still can't control. Another voice taking over my lungs, another person taking over my body. My screams can't be heard, I try fighting against it, but I am too helpless. A bright flash filled my eyes, before showing an unforgettable image.

'No..'

'No.'

'No!'

"No!" I screamed out, jerking forward. Panting heavily, I curled up in a ball. 'All just a dream..' I thought. I've had the same dream, over and over, ever since that day. A day I'll never forget. I subconsciously looked over to my nightstand, opening it and pulling out the picture of four people posing. Tears run down my face, as I hear a door slam open. "What happened?!" Lloyd dashed over to me, looking for any clues. "Sorry I had a bad dream.." I wiped my tears with my sleeve, "I'm sorry that I woke you.." I added in.

"It's okay, I was looking at my phone anyways. What's that in your hand?" Lloyd asks, looking at the photo. "Is that..you?" I quickly shoved the picture back into my drawer, "Err. It's just some people I used to know." I quickly respond. He looks at me suspiciously, "You sure?"

"I-It's something for another day, maybe." I stutter. "Are you sure your okay?" Lloyd checks. "Yeah, I should be good." He stands up and exits the room. "Get me if you need something. Goodnight."

"Night," I reply, when he shuts the door I let out a sigh. I grab the picture once again from my nightstand as I lay back and stare at it. 'Maybe one day..' I note to myself, as I set it up on my nightstand, before falling into a sleepless sleep.
