(Third Person P.O.V)

____ The Past ____

The world was an endless night and that night was on fire. The air was so thick and hot that it was a struggle to just draw breath. The air grew worse with the pungent odour of charred flesh and lava. Her muscles screamed in pain as did her mind. But she still raised her sword. As a pair of orange-red eyes peered at her from the dark.

"(Y/N)!"

(Y/N) bolted upright with a start, her eyes wide open scanning the room for any perceived threats.

Across the room through the gap in the deep red curtains. (Y/N) could see the faintest blue tinge of dawn.

"Just a nightmare." (Y/N) said to herself and took in a deep breath.

(Y/N) was almost calm once more when something warm and vaguely sticky plopped itself into her lap, startling her once more. Two tiny hands gripped onto her face like fleshy starfish pulling her toward the inquisitive eyes of young Morro.

Morro squirmed on her lap trying to find some better footing for himself as (Y/N) let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh, Morro. You startled me." She said and stroked Morro's fine black hair and let herself be lulled back into tranquillity by the boy's steady breathing.

"Sorry." Morro replied with an apologetic face. "But I've been trying to wake you. Sensei's already awake and we're going to start training." Morro whined at her as (Y/N) pulled Morro up into her arms and wincing as her neck protested the odd angles at which she'd slept in during the night.

"Ok, you point. I walk." (Y/N) yarned and rubbed some sleep out of her eyes and walked out of the room carrying Morro on her hip. Morro happily nodded and pointed the way to the selected training grounds.

As they travelled Morro turned to look up at (Y/N) with a sad look in his eyes. "Um, (Y/N)." Morro asked softly. "Mmm, yes, Morro?" (Y/N) asked, still rather sleepy.

"What do you think of Sensei?" Morro questioned innocently. "I'll put up with him for as long as I can today for your sake." (Y/N) answered still half asleep.

"No. I mean how do you feel about him?" Morro tried to explain to his guardian. "I'm afraid I do not understand." (Y/N) honestly responded. Morro sighed in frustration and tried again.

"Do you think he's nice?" Morro asked with big round eyes. "Didn't I just say that I would tolerate him for you today?" (Y/N) said not understanding what the young boy meant. Morro gave a sad sigh as they rounded the corner. "Maybe he would have to try with Sensei first." Morro thought to himself.

"That's ok." Morro said, patting the top of (Y/N)'s head as some of Master Chen's servants passed them giggling in the hall. Morro gave them a strange look over (Y/N)'s shoulder and the kabuki's giggled even louder.

"He looks so much like Lord Garmadon." The kabuki one the left loudly whispered to the kabuki on the right so Morro could hear. "I agree. He must get the green strip in his hair from Lady Garmadon." The kabuki on the right loudly giggled back. "It's so nice to see how attentive she is to their son."

This confused Morro; he was sure they were talking about him, but who was Lady Garmadon? The only lady to care about him was (Y/N) and he was sure she wasn't a Garmadon.

"Something wrong Morro?" (Y/N) asked, having noticed the strange look on Morro's face as they made it outside where Wu was waiting for his student.

"Who's Lady Garmadon?" Morro questioned (Y/N). "I'm not sure. Maybe you should ask Wu he'd know." (Y/N) offered as she placed him on the ground.

"Now you have fun today and remember no matter what you're kind, smart and important to me." (Y/N) told the small boy while ruffling his hair. At that moment Morro's grin rivalled the morning sun. "I will." Morro promised her. "Now go have fun." (Y/N) instructed and Morro turned and raced to greet his Sensei.

Wu and (Y/N) shared a warm smile at Morro's happiness and the days training commenced. Completely unaware of the evil that would soon be entering their lives.

____ The Past ____

Lord Garmadon was double-checking that the chef's had sent up everything that he'd asked for. He paused for a moment thinking back to what he and his Master had gone over last night.

He and Master Chen had been busily going over the plans Master Chen had come up with for Lord Garmadon to win (Y/N)'s heart and for a rather nasty distraction for Wu.

Lord Garmadon paused as he read over this particular plan, he was hesitant to agree to such a thing. Even with everything Wu had done to him in his life Wu was still his brother, did he deserve such a cruel thing to be done to him.

Master Chen sensing Lord Garmadon's apprehension decided to placate the boy.

"It's all right. We can wait for the big guns, for now." Master Chen offered his second in command. Lord Garmadon nodded and put the scroll down. Although worryingly eyed it.

"You're too kind to those that have done you wrong." Master Chen said sympathetically and patted Lord Garmadon on the shoulder. "There are a few other things we can try before this and on the plus side we have Clousey Clouse to pump for information on her background so that will give us a leg up on your brother." Master Chen replied in a rather chipper tone.

"Do I really need a leg up?" Lord Garmadon asked, thinking that his Master thought that he was hopeless in matters of the heart.

"Oh, It's only fair." Master Chen chuckled. "After all your brother is hiding behind a child."

Lord Garmadon's head immediately snapped in his Master's direction. "He's using an orphaned child to get to her." Master Chen said taking a walk around the table and stopping at Lord Garmadon's side. "How cruel can your brother get to use a defenceless child as a pawn in his twisted games?" Master Chen asked.

"Wu... Wu is a lot of things. But I don't think he'd stoop that low." Lord Garmadon replied struggling to defend his brother against such accusations. But deep down he wondered that himself. Was Wu capable of misleading and hurting a child to get what he wanted?

"I hope you're right." Master Chen said fearfully. "I'd hate to think he'd do anything so awful to either of them just to hurt his brother out of spite."

"But if you have so much confidence in your brother. I'll trust your judgement." Master Chen said putting some of the plans aside. Lord Garmadon gave his Master an uncertain smile. "Thank you, Master." Lord Garmadon said bowing slightly to him.

"Oh, think nothing of it, my boy." Master Chen affirmed waving his hand in the air. "I only want to help you. You deserve to be happy."

"And I appreciate it, Master." Lord Garmadon quickly stated. "I know you do. Now let's get to work." Master Chen exclaimed, slapping his hands together. "I can't wait for you to get a Lady Garmadon, I'll even officiate the wedding myself." Master Chen announced getting all excited.

A knock at the door grabbed his attention for his thoughts. Two Kabukis were bowing at the entrance at the door.

"Ah, yes." Lord Garmadon said, straightening himself up. "Please let (Y/N) know that I wish to see her." Lord Garmadon ordered and the pair still bowing nodded that they understood the command and left without a word.

____ The Past ____

(Y/N) sat on the terrace tuning her guitar and looking out over the training grounds watching Morro as he focused on his training and trying to impress Wu.

(Y/N) let out a sad sigh. Morro deserved better than that in her eyes.

"Excuse us, Lady Garmadon?" Two-voice said in perfect unison. (Y/N) turned her head to see two of Chen's kabukis bowing towards her on the ground at the entrance of the terrace.

(Y/N) looked for a third person possibly hidden somewhere but found no one. "Are you two referring to me?" (Y/N) quietly asked the kabukis.

"Yes, Lady Garmadon." The two responded in perfect unison again. Their heads still firmly against the ground, not daring to raise them to look at her.

"Oh, then there has been some confusion. My name is (Y/N)." (Y/N) politely corrected them.

"Oh no, we would never disrespect such a valued guest by being so informal with them." The kabuki on the right said still not lifting her head.

Seeing that she was not going to win this argument against this strange Ninjago custom. (Y/N) decided to move on.

"You can stand you know. It won't upset me." (Y/N) explained hoping that the pair would at least raise their heads. To her surprise, both immediately stood up and bowed to her before properly standing in front of her.

"Lord Garmadon wishes to see you." The kabuki on the left reported to (Y/N).

(Y/N) had figured this was going to come up as Lord Garmadon had probably pressed poor Clouse for as much information on where they had come from and who Hela was.

It was the main reason she hadn't approached Clouse today, the poor master of Dark Magic needed a serious break. She also felt sorry for him having lived under Hela's rule as she had. (Y/N) stopped herself from thinking too much about that.

"All right, led the way." (Y/N) instructed the kabuki. Both kabuki bowed and showed her the way to Lord Garmadon.

Lord Garmadon was waiting in a private room with a large open terrace with light see-through curtains wafting in the light morning breeze.

A nice display of fruit and tea cakes were waiting on the table in between two fancy lounge chairs. Lord Garmadon was patiently waiting for her to arrive.

"Thank you, ladies." Lord Garmadon said dismissing the kabuki whom bowed to him on the way out as they closed the doors.

Lord Garmadon smiled as he turned to (Y/N). "(Y/N)... I was worried you wouldn't want to see me..." Lord Garmadon shyly added while rubbing the back of his neck. "It's ok." (Y/N) responded. "I-I wanted to make it up to you." Lord Garmadon said, waving his hand towards the spread.

"That's thoughtful of you." (Y/N) responded. "Ladies first." Lord Garmadon offered as he took his seat across from her.

"I asked Clouse what you may like to eat and Master Chen said Clouse couldn't stop eating fruit when he'd first found him." Lord Garmadon quickly explained why he'd chosen such a meal. "So, I figured you'd like some too." He smiled warmly and (Y/N) returned the smile.

"Fruit was not something that we came across easily." (Y/N) explained to Lord Garmadon with a sad smile on her face as she reminisced about the past.

A blue humanoid blur with a spatula for a hand was helping her open a crate of stolen food. "I don't understand." She had said out loud as she helped pry open the crate. "Why can't I help on the raids? You said it yourself that the Kingdom was dangerous, isn't that what I was made for?" She had questioned the humanoid blur.

"It is not that the Kingdom itself is unsafe... It is the humans ... It is just...You are different, (N/N). You are two parts of two different races. You..." The blue humanoid blur rubbed at his temple with his only hand before he gritted his teeth and took his her into his lap.

After a moment he said. "You are part monster and part human. And that isn't a good thing."

She looked up at the sad face and asked. "Why?" In her tiny voice.

"You are the part of an ancient race of warriors, Monsters and Humans hate Monsters." The blur did it's best to explain to her. "And you..." the blue figure pulled on her right arm to reveal her birthmark. "Humans also hate dragons and this mark, makes you a big target for their hate." He warned her.

"Also humans age differently to monsters and with you. You... Brick." The blue figure shook his head. "Forget about it, for now, (N/N), just... Be careful. Ok?" A soft nod was her answer and the blue figure smiled wearily down at her. "Now let's get this crate open. It's full of something you've never seen before, it's called: fruit."

"(Y/N)?" Lord Garmadon said with concern she shaking her out of her fog of memories. Lord Garmadon went on to sit next to (Y/N) and they both stayed silent. "So..." Lord Garmadon started, trying to break the silence. "How are you taking all of this?"

(Y/N) remained silent. "Oh..." Was all Lord Garmadon could say. When he saw her troubled expression. Lord Garmadon pulled her into a tight embrace. (Y/N) was shocked at the sudden action. "I'm sorry." Lord Garmadon said hugging her tighter. (Y/N) frowned. "For what?" She asked slightly worried. "Stressing you out." Lord Garmadon said reluctantly pulling away from the hug.

They both turned light pink after the conversation and inched away from each other since they were way too close. (Y/N) turned her head away, not making eye contact with Lord Garmadon who was still sitting beside her.

(Y/N) felt something brush against her hand and turned her head to see a very, red Lord Garmadon and his hand resting on hers. But (Y/N) didn't pull her hand back. Though she wasn't sure why. They stayed like that, both refusing to make eye contact with each other.

Lord Garmadon finally broke the silence. "Would you like something to drink?" Lord Garmadon offered his voice kind of shaky.

"Yes, please." (Y/N) agreed and Lord Garmadon quickly grabbed a pitcher with fresh juice inside and poured her a cup with ice in it.

After a sip (Y/N) eagerly licked her lips. It was wonderfully bitter tasting in her opinion. Lord Garmadon's eyes lit up at seeing her enjoy the beverage. "Tasty." (Y/N) said honestly still licking her lips. Lord Garmadon couldn't help staring at her lip as she did.

Lord Garmadon opened his mouth to say something when they heard Wu yelling from the training grounds. "Morro?! Morro?! Where are you?!"
