(Third Person P.O.V)

____The Past_____

As they waited for the Garden Angelica root tea to boil. Morro continued to stair at (Y/N)'s right arm and her dragon-shaped birthmark making her slightly uncomfortable.

Wu noticed (Y/N)'s discomfort. "Morro it's not nice to stare at people." Wu told his young student.

"Sorry (Y/N). it's just so cool." Morro apologised and gave (Y/N) a sorrowful look. (Y/N) rubbed the back of her neck feeling a little guilty that the little one was in trouble because of her birthmark.

"It's not your fault little one. I just need to get used to Ninjago. Things are very different from the realm I'm from." (Y/N) explained to Morro.

"Different realm?" Wu questioned with interest as he continued pouring the tea for the three of them.

"I don't remember most of it. I can't even remember the name of the realm I'm from but yes I'm from a different realm." (Y/N) acknowledged taking her tea.

"What is where you're from like?" Morro questioned and (Y/N) bit her lip trying to think of the right words to describe it to him with of scaring him.

"It's very different from Ninjago. The rules and meanings behind things are hard to explain,"

"Take my birthmark for example Dragons in my realm are considered evil but here they're considered good." (Y/N) said trying to explain to the curious little boy.

"Why in the name of my father would they consider Dragons evil?" Wu asked taking a sip of his tea.

"The realm I am from is ruled by a monarchy. Kings and Queens who consider anyone different as evil. It has nothing to do with an individual's actual ability to do ill or good." (Y/N) explained taking a sip of her tea as she did.

"That's not fair." Morro objected as Wu gave him his own cup of tea. "No, it isn't. little one." (Y/N) agreed with a heavy sigh.

"It is believed that they have exterminated all the Dragons but I have seen for myself. Dragons still live even if they no longer live in that realm." (Y/N) told Morro ruffling his hair.

"Were people mean to you because of your birthmark?" Morro asked grabbing ahold of her arm.

"My clan put a lot of pressure on me to be a strong warrior because being born with something beyond my control because it put a huge target on my back,"

"They didn't want the monarchy to get me. So they trained me hard; regardless if it was their orders to do so. They did it out of care and I hold no ill in my heart towards them for what they had to do." (Y/N) said tracing her mark with her injured hand.

Wu could see the mixed pain in her eyes just talking about it. Morro could as well and snuggled up on her lap and hugged her.

"I'm sorry that I made you sad." Morro said hugging her harder and (Y/N) hugged him back. "It's ok little one it just a sore subject." (Y/N) told him stroking his hair.

"Don't listen to those bad people from where you're from. I like your birthmark and like you said Dragons are good here so you don't have to worry about people being afraid of you." Morro said with pride causing (Y/N) to smile.

"Thank you little one. I like your hair, the green stripe suits you." (Y/N) complemented the little one while playing with his hair.

Morro let out a yawn and rubbed his eyes. "Someone tired after such a long day why don't you go to bed and rest." Wu chuckled finishing his tea.

"(Y/N), can you sleep in my room tonight?" Morro pleaded still rubbing his tired eyes. "Why?" (Y/N) questioned not understand why he made such a request to her.

"I want you to stay here where it's safe and I want to make sure you'll be here in the morning when I wake up." Morro admitted give her the biggest puppy dog eyes he could muster for her.

(Y/N) looked to Wu who insisted that she do so. "Ok, little one." (Y/N) said hugging him tightly.

"Want a lullaby as well?" (Y/N) asked as she carried him off to his room. "Yes, please." Morro yawned his eyelids becoming heavy today had worn him out.

"Can Sensei come too?" Morro mumbled in his sleepy state. "If he wants too." (Y/N) shrugged and Morro looked to his Sensei who agreed, causing Morro to smile.

Once they were all snuggled under the covers Morro made sure he was in between (Y/N) and his Sensei making him feel both safe and warm.

Morro looked to (Y/N) eagerly in anticipation. (Y/N) took the hint and began to sing him a lullaby to put him to sleep.

Lyrics:

Cruel and cold like winds on the sea

We shall rise from the dark and deep,

Hear our voice sing with the tide

For we shall never die,

Over waves and deep in the blue

We will wait here for you,

Many long years will go by

For we shall never die,

Come, dear child, be one with the sea

Rule with us for eternity,

Drown all dreams so mercilessly

And leave their souls to weep,

Wild and strong you can't be contained,

Never bound nor ever chained

Wounds you caused will never mend,

And you will never end

Cruel and cold like winds on the sea

We shall rise from the dark and deep,

You will know who was the thief

The cause of your grief,

--(Y/N) singing was interrupted by Morro's and Wu's soft snores.

Over waves and deep in the blue,

We will wait here for you.

Many long years will go by,

For we shall never die.

(Y/N) finished her song and tried to make herself comfortable beside Morro before falling asleep herself.

(Third Person P.O.V)

____The Past_____

It was early in the morning the sun hadn't even risen yet Wu opened his eyes and blushed once he realised who he was cuddling in his sleep.

Wu was tightly snuggled up to (Y/N) with his arms wrapped around her keeping her close to him. Morro was tucked safely in (Y/N)'s arms like a he was her own child. Wu brushed some hair out of both of their faces with a warm smile.

They both looked so peaceful in their sleep he couldn't help but admire that. He couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to have a family of his own.

With the passing of his mother and father combined with his brother leaving to train under Master Chen.

Wu was alone in the world, Morro brought so much joy into his lonely life and was the perfect student but Morro didn't need a Sensei he needed a family.

(Y/N) stirred in her sleep slightly mumbling something incoherent single tear rolled down her cheek and Wu wiped it away.

Wu couldn't help but wonder if (Y/N) and his father felt the same way coming from a realm that was not Ninjago.

"Did his father miss the realm he was from, was it difficult for him to adjust to a new way of life, did he leave anyone behind?"

Perhaps (Y/N) could offer some insight to his father Wu had always wondered about.

Perhaps they could all help one another. Wu thought as he snuggled back closer to the sleeping pair.
