Chapter 1: Wake-up Call
I opened my eyes after a restful sleep. I woke up the sweet music of robins and mockingbirds chirps in the woods below my home. Sunlight broke through the paper covered windows to illuminate my bedroom. A soft breeze rattled the paper as it was being pushed without ripping or tearing. I smiled as a new day has begun. A brand new day to train myself as the strongest ninja the world will ever see.
My name is Lucas. I have been training since my father, Wu, told me about the prophecy of the Green Ninja. I train my body to fight so I can become the powerful ninja in Ninjago. My father will be proud of me. And my mother, she may be gone, but she'll be proud of me too. But in order for that to happen as my father says: I must train. And to train, I must master Spinjitzu. The martial arts first performed and created by my grandfather.
I sat up from lying on my bed and stretched me arms as I fell asleep on them. Once they felt stretched to me, I reached to my left to my window and moved it aside to open it. I breathed in the fresh air as I gazed as the scenery for my home, the Monastery Dojo, was on top of a mountain. It was beautiful. Peaceful. Lovely as I gaze the view every day and every morning. A new day has begun.
Creak. I turned my head away from the window as I heard the wooden floors creak as I knew someone was coming to wake me up for my training. My father. And this time I wanted to surprise him to show him how well-trained I became so far as a ninja. I'm ten. So I like playing tricks on him. And I have a good one for him.
I quickly kick the sheets off and got out of bed. I then took my pillow and laid it where I was and quickly threw the covers over it. I snickered as it looked like I was still asleep and needed to hide. I looked around to find a spot and smiled as I found one. Since I had my grey ankle socks on, I quietly ran to a corner near my door, jumped, and grabbed the beam that supported the roof, while my other hand supported my weight as it was pressed against the wall with my feet spread out to support myself in the corner. I snickered more as I thought it was the best one. Now I needed to wait for him.
I watched as my door slid open and held my breath as my father walked in. I can see that he was dressed in his navy blue kimono with his blonde hair striking against it with bits of grey mixed in along with his grey eyes. I can tell he was getting old with a trimmed grey beard growing. That and he always walked around the dojo with a bamboo staff. It didn't bother me much as I love him as my father since he's all I got left in a family since my mother passed away when I was nine. And my uncle, I don't know where he is, my father won't tell me. But for now, I just watched with a grin as he came closer to my trap.
"Wake up, my son." my father said cheerily, as he stood by my bedside. "A new day has begun. A new day to train." But silence clung in the air. "Lucas?" and tapped the hidden pillow with his staff. He hummed in deep thought and looked at the open window.
I gasped as I left a flaw in my trick. I left my window open. My father knows that I always open my window to let fresh air in when I wake up and I forgot to close it to make it like I was still asleep. He was gonna find out soon. As I would say: It's now or never. A ninja never gives up.
I prepared my muscles to launch myself at my father and needed to time it perfectly. Once I found it, I gave a small shout and launched myself to tackle my father. But something was wrong. I caught my father smirking as he looked behind his shoulders at me and jumped up. I grunted as I made contact to my bed and made the pillow reveal itself and quickly flipped my body to watch my father perform a backflip and landed in front of me with the end of his staff lightly on my chest. My trick was back fired. I failed.
*My father chuckled at my attempt. "Excellent work, my son." he said and removed the staff off my chest. "But you left a flaw in your plan, so I easily beaten you. A ninja must be aware of his surroundings when planning tactics. Otherwise his enemies will know his presence."
"I'll do better next time, Dad." I smiled and sat on my mattress.
"And I know you will." he smiled back and stood by my door. Before he left, he looked back as I fixed my bed. "Get yourself washed up and meet me outside for morning stretches."
"Okay, Dad." I replied as the comforter was under my pillow.
"Ah, ah, what do you call me when we train?" he asked.
I chuckled. "Yes, Sensei." and my father nodded and left me in peace with privacy. I slid the door close and went to my private bathroom. I quickly showered to wake the rest of my still asleep muscles. After I finished and dried off and dressed in a clean white shirt and black training pant, I stared myself in the mirror as I brushed my teeth. I looked at my reflection as my brown hair was short and I always wondered how it would look if I grew it out without my father cutting it, but kept it short. My eyes were a rare color as my father always said to me. Hazel grey. My fathers are grey and my mothers were hazel. Hazel grey for me.
Once I think two minutes passed for brushing my teeth, I spat out the foamy minty paste and ran out of my bathroom. I threw on a clean pair of grey ankle socks and my grey tennis shoes. For an unknown reason, I've always been fond of the color grey. Not to light. Not to dark. Just plain and relaxing. Once I tied the laces tight, I ran out of my room with excitement; hoping to perform Spinjitzu.
