There was another moment of silence as we all stared at each other. Finally Nya decided to break our silence by walking in. "Guys, Garmadon wants to know if you guys are ready," she said as she walked through the swinging door. The door continued to swing loudly back and forth as there was another minute of silence as Nya took in the scene. She first looked at me, then Dareth, then Skylor and Kai, and then finally at me again.

"What's going on in here?"

The wind continued on blowing hard, whipping hard on our faces, as we continued on walking up the grass covered hill to the Ninja festival. As I thought back to the earlier Nya accident, I couldn't help but to smile and chuckle. Not one of us, even Dareth, dared to bring up what had happened. It was like it never happened. But, boy, did it.

Lloyd turned to face me as we made it to the top of the hill. On top of the hill, we could see all the banners and flags below in the small valley in which the festival was being held. Loud live music could be heard faintly. On the other side of me, Cole and Jay, who so happened to be talking excitedly, bursted out laughing.

Lloyd smiled. "Man, I sure am glad everything is back to normal. Aren't you Zane?" I nodded. Garmadon, who had just reached the top of the hill, he had been talking with Nya, smiled and put his arm around Lloyd. "So am I son. So am I."

"Yeah! That's what I call a winning point!" Jay yelled as the pins came falling down. He cheered and threw his arms in the air. Nya smiled. We, Lloyd, Garmadon, Nya, Skylor, Kai, Cole, Jay, Dareth, and I were in the middle of the festival, at the Three Pin Throwing game. (Misako and Wu had decided to stay at home.)

The man in charge of the game, a beefy old man with a puffy short greyish white beard, nodded uncaringly. "Alright, " he said, his voice sounding a lot like Karlof. "We have a winner." He bent down for a second to come back up another second later, with a strange stuffed half duck-half beaver prize. It was rather cute, with it's yellow bill, green body, and brown beaver tail like arms. Jay beamed as the man gave it to him.

"Well, come on! Let's go over to the food court! I'll bet they'll have cake!" Cole said, excitedly. We all laughed. For, earlier that morning, before the Nya accident, Cole had ranted how he was excited for the festival's cake. Cole looked confused.

"What?"

"Alright, just wait a minute. I want to play the game," I said. I turned to face the owner of the game. The man nodded. "Alright."

"All you need to do is to knock down those three pins with one shot. You have three shots." He handed me three baseballs. I nodded.

Aiming as hard as I could, I leaned back, and threw. With a loud whack, all three pins fell over in one shot. Nya smiled. "Great job Zane. Hurry up and get your prize okay? We'll met you at the food court." I nodded.

I watched them off before turning back towards the game. Garmadon stayed along with me.

The man came back up. This time he held a big plastic box filled with little trinkets. "We're all out of the Furballs, sorry. Please pick out a prize." He dropped the box onto the table. I looked down into it.

Inside was all kind of little trinkets. I dug through it. Suddenly I noticed something. "Huh, look at this," I said, as I pulled out an old leathery book.

"Ah, yes the classic To kill a Mocking Bird. It's really quite good,"Garmadon said quietly.

That's when I noticed it. Garmadon was staring at me, his eyes filled with pain, yet proudness. Filled with hurt, yet comfort. With saddness, yet happiness. The way he only used to look at his son. I was at a total lost. "Why is he looking at me like that?" I thought. "He's looking at me like-but no that's not possible."

Suddenly, though, something deep within me struck home base.

He was looking at me with curious, large, but yet kind looking eyes.

The exact same ones from my dream.

But, they also seemed similar to something in my subconscious, but what?

I stared at them as they poured into my soul.

I had seen those eyes before. But where? Those eyes, gray and curious, in grayish rain...

I blinked. Garmadon, seeming to be shaking out of whatever just happened as well, smiled. "Well, we better not be the things that hold down Cole's plan in eating cake."

I smiled. Grabbing and holding a good grip on my new book, we went over to the food court, where we found Cole eating cake and the rest of the gang. Cole turned and noticed me. "Hey, Zane where have you been? You're missing out on all the good cake!"

We all laughed.

The rest of the day at the festival remained like this. Cheerful, full of laughs, loud, and not one more notice of the strangeness earlier.

"Well, I'm glad we're back, " Nya said, sighing tiredly as she opened the door to the main room of the Destiny's Bounty. We had just arrived home, five hours later, at 5:00 pm. We walked in. Inside was Misako. She smiled at me. "Zane, Wu wants to meet you in his room. There's someone here to see you."

I turned to face the others, a confused look on my face. They also looked confused. Jay shrugged.

"And that is why, you see, I'm here."

"Yes, I see."

"And it's because of his father."

I paused. I so happened to be walking down the hall that led right to Sensi Wu's room, and I could hear voices. One was Sensi Wu's wise and knowing voice, while the other was a young , soft, and kind sounding voice. I had just reached for the doorknob when the man had said it. My father. This man knew my father.

"I understand, and see why, Josh Norville."

I gulped, sweat now beading down my face and neck in streams of beads. I turned the doorknob.

Sensi Wu and Josh Norville both looked up to see me. "Hello Zane," Wu said as Josh Norville got up, stunned. He quickly made his way around the table to get a better look at me.

"Good Lord," he whispered, as he long, brow shaggy hair moved to cover up some of his kind and soft looking brown eyes, "is this-can this be-?"

There was a moment of soft silence as Josh Norville looked me up and down. "After all these years," he whispered," it's really you Zane."

The whole room fell silent, yet again.

"I'm sorry, but who are you?"

Seemingly waking out of his trance like state, Josh Norville said, " Zane, I'm Josh Norville. Your godfather."

My eyes widened. Godfather? But, but, my father, he didn't make anyone into my godfather! Then, but then, who was this man?

"You're my what?!"

"I'm your godfather. I used to know your dad. He was a great man."

"My father, Dr. Julien, never told me about a godfather. I'm sorry, but I think there's been a mistake."

Josh Norville looked confused. "Dr. Julien?"

Suddenly, Sensi Wu sighed, making us both jump. He had been so silent, that we had almost forgotten he was even there. "Zane, I think it's time you knew the truth."

"The truth?!"

Sensi Wu nodded. "Yes. It is about time you knew the truth." He stood up and looked over at Josh Norville. "But wait till I go get my brother, Sensi Garmadon. He will need to tell his part as well." Josh Norville nodded.

My head was spinning. The truth? My father? Garmadon will need to tell his part as well? What was going on? My father was Dr. Julien..., Right?
