So this chapter is mainly about what it was like before chapter one and is mainly on one of my OCs Babar and how it is tied into Ninjago in a way :P next chapter will be back in present Ninjago :)

(1 year before the events of chapter 1)

Babar's pov

"Father please" I begged "I want to go to the forest of my own, no soldiers, no nothing!" He turned his back to me. I awaited the cold no that was to come from his lips.

"Babar, you know well the danger that a waits if you leave the castle walls" he began, why did he always give this speech, just get the point.

"We're animals, untamed, wild!" I shouted at him "well some of us are" I turned my head so I didn't see his disgust when he turned to face me, I hate him with all my heart, he doesn't understand me, no one dose.

Well I guess Harin and Delphia do sorta, but I don't want to hang around them in case father decides Delphia's going to be my further mate. Oh Mother Nature how I hate that rule "Royal bloods must be mated to someone that's loyal to the kingdom", in a simpler form, a soldier.

To be honest that's why I stopped hanging around with them, I don't want Delphia to be forced to be my mate by my father and her parents besides I think that had something between her and Harin and I don't want to mess it up and leave my friend in broken pieces.

"Babar how could you say should a thing!" I rolled my emerald eyes and looked out to where the further soldiers trained "look at me when I'm speaking to you!"

I growled under my breath.

"Babar you will have a whole kingdom looking up to you when you become king and you know it" he went on, should I start to ignore him now?

"Enough of this, I'm getting a head ache from this. Go back to training Babar, I need to see the castle's shaman to see if he can ease the pain" the words were so cold.

I would say ice cold but I would not want to offend "The First Spinjitzu Master" in any shape or form, that what he called himself right? He, he was a true hero, form the legends I heard of him he spent many years bonding with four elements, fire, earth, ice and lightning. He defeated one of the greatest evils. If I recall this evil liked to call himself The Over Lord; as many evils liked to give themselves names. He also created another region but I forget what it's called, oh well, like I'll ever have to know. I'll only be king of this region, I mean kingdom.

My father walked out of the room, muttering to himself.

I walked over to where I put my macs before talking to father. "Guess it's going back to training" I grumbled and picked up my macs and slug it over my shoulder. I don't know why but something made me look up. It was a hooded cape and it looks like I can fit my hair in it. My hair is huge, a true lion mane. There were a few shades of brown, ginger and even a streak deep gold. It's one of the few things I'm proud of.

I quickly grab the hooded cape and ran to where no one could see me and quickly tied on the cape and pulled the hood over my face.

Okay so my hair didn't quite fit in but it will have to do.

"I should bring a small weapon just in case I in up in the wrong place, wrong time" I said to myself, for some reason I love talking to myself. Probably just the fact I'm on my own for most of the time, oh well nothing wrong in that is there?

I went to the closest weapon storage to see what I could find, nothing too big but I'd like to be a descent size. After a few moments of searching I found a belt dagger.

"Aw! Perfect! Just what I needed" I exclaimed. I removed the blade from the scabbard, then placing the scabbard onto my sash. I examined the blade carefully; neither scratch nor dent in it. "Seems like it's fresh from the blacksmiths but it's really pain, must be for training" I thought aloud. I then placed the dagger back into it's scabbard and left the weapon storage.

So I think I'm ready to leave now, finally able to leave the castle walls, after all these years.

I climbed up an archer tower which was on the border of the castle's walls. I entered the top, which to my luck no one was there, probably training the further archeries. I hope no one notices me gone, well it's not like anyone sees me that much anyway.

I tied rope to sliver hook, which I found just on lying here. It should hold my weight while I climb down the wall but how long it is another story. Oh well, I like to take risks. I put the rope though my sash.

I stepped on the window and began to climb down the wall.

I could feel a smile appear on my face and I jumped down with rope, I knew I was getting closer, closer to my first taste of freedom.

Please tell me if there are any mistakes. Hope you enjoyed thanks again :)
