¿Does time really heal wounds?

It's been too many days since the events that happened at the Shadow Temple where the Blood Moon ritual was performed, said temple disappeared in the blink of an eye after stopping Ras and his followers.

After the ninjas helped Euphrasia and her people build part of the islands of the Cloud Kingdom, they returned to the Monastery to plan their new strategies to locate the Shadow Temple and Ras, who is still loose was a clear threat to Ninjago and the other Kingdoms. When they checked that Egalt and Rontu were okay, after being turned into stone by the Blood Moon, in gratitude the two Dragon Masters offered the Ninjas their guidance and knowledge about the Source Dragons.

Things were not going well at the Monastery for the Ninjas and their allies, especially for a certain wild girl, Master of Heat. The Ninjas may have gotten the victory over Ras this time, but for many it wasn't a sweet victory, Ras managed to snatch two valuable people from the Ninjas, they lost Kai, the Red Ninja, and Bonzle, the spell that Cole lived with when he was living with Geo and the little Spitz and Fritz in The Land of Lost Things.

The real problems started after Wyldfyre got frustrated when he didn't receive any new news about rescuing Kai.

She spends her time angry, burning things at random and Lloyd didn't know what to do with Kai's wild student anymore. Everyone somehow tried to give her some comfort, but when trying to do that they ended up in two things: engulfed in flames or with the growing fear of making Wyldfyre angry again, at least Nya was the only one who didn't end up with flames of fire around her body.

Arin had to go to the Crossroads several times to buy new clothes since Wyldfyre burned part of his wardrobe in the room he shared with Sora and Riyu. Even some dragons from the stables below the Monastery were afraid to approach Wyldfyre, the others did not understand the language of the Dragons but upon hearing Wyldfyre's growls and roars they assumed that they were not pleasant things to hear.

Right now Lloyd was in Wu's study trying to restore the burned scrolls again thanks to Wyldfyre's fire.

- I can't believe he burned them again... - Lloyd murmurs as he finishes rewriting one of the scrolls and continues with the next.

- Everything okay? - Nya's sudden voice interrupted Lloyd's thoughts as he began to restore a new scroll.

- Something like that - Lloyd admits defeated - Wyldfyre burned the scrolls again. He wanted to find things that could help Kai escape from that strange realm, but...he found nothing, he got angry and burned the scrolls –

- Let's try to be patient with her, Lloyd. Wydlfyre just misses Kai, like everyone else, only she shows her anger and sadness in her own way – Nya answers as she approaches Lloyd.

- But I wouldn't want anger to be their only confrontational feeling in Kai's absence, we've been through this before, with Zane, with my uncle Wu, my father and... with you - Lloyd was obviously referring to the times they thought they had lost a member of their team.

They know that Kai isn't really dead, he was just missing, like Bonzle...

But even so, his absence affected everyone, Lloyd missed him too but he still had hope of getting him back. But he didn't unleash his anger and frustration like Wyldfyre did, Lloyd learned from his own experience that all that anger wouldn't lead to anything good, it only brought suffering.

But Lloyd knew that Nya was right, he knew that Wyldfyre was..."different". After all, she was raised in a wild environment with dragons, she knows very well that it was even a challenge to give her writing and reading classes so that she had a decent intellect.

- Lloyd, you just have to give her time, sooner or later she'll have to calm down, besides, she's trying to open up a little to me, she doesn't say much but I give her time. Maybe you could also try to talk to her more -

- Yes... maybe I'll try - Lloyd says as he returns with the scrolls.


--------------------------------------------------


It wouldn't be a good idea, Lloyd thought as he walked through the halls looking for Wyldfyre, he thought that what he was doing now to try to give Wyldfyre some comfort would be a mistake and would make him more upset but he remembered Nya's words in the process: he should try to talk to Wyldfyre.

Lloyd knew he wasn't Kai, but maybe it would be worth a try at least, at least he thinks that's what Kai would try.

Lloyd went down to the stables and there he saw as always Wyldfyre practicing her fireball throws with various objects that she herself placed around the stables.

- Wyldfyre – Lloyd calls as he approaches Wylfyre.

- I'm training, Lloyd – he answers harshly without taking his eyes off his targets.

- I just wanted to give you something – Lloyd answers bluntly.

It seems that that caught Wyldfyre's attention, she cautiously looks at Lloyd trying to figure out what he had for her.

- Is it food? Because right now I'm hungry – normally Wyldfyre didn't receive things from the other Ninjas, Kai was the one who always gave him some random things, that included food, books and some weapons that Wyldfyre uses during his training.

- It's not exactly food - Lloyd answered nervously - But it's something that might be able to help you - Lloyd then shows Wyldfyre an electronic tablet with a red protector.

- Is this one of those technological boxes that you and the other ninjas use to watch boring things? – she answers with some anger, but she also seemed to be somewhat confused when she examined the tablet better.

- It's a tablet – Lloyd quickly corrects – And Sora helped me reinforce it for you –

- But why would I need a stupid tablet? –

- I thought it might be a better way to deal with Kai's absence – Lloyd explains, he sounded calm, but he was still alert to a possible outburst from Wyldfyre, luckily such action did not come, but he could see in Kai's young student more confusion than she already had when receiving the tablet.

- I don't understand, how will this appease my burning anger?! – Wylfyre shouts as he lights his hands on fire.

- Listen, a long time ago when I lost my father... – Lloyd begins with a melancholic tone – I started recording voice messages –

- Voice... messages? – says Wyldfyre raising one of his eyebrows.

- Yes, it served as a method for me to vent some of my sadness, you can record messages where you talk about how you feel, maybe you yourself will discover how to heal yourself, sometimes... talking about our problems can help us discover more about ourselves than looking for answers in other people –

- Really? – asks Wyldfyre.

- Yes – affirms Lloyd – Kai even helped me with that – Lloyd mentions remembering the times that Kai encouraged him to look for other ways to face his losses since thanks to some exercises of Wu, Kai discovered different ways of perspective on how to face those feelings that hurt people.

- Mmm – Wyldfyre was still observing the tablet in detail, but it seems that he had finally decided – Okay, I'll keep the tablet, but don't expect that maybe I'll talk about my "feelings" with this device. With my breeding robot I had enough... – Wyldfyre commented that last while he returned to the stable of his dragon Heatwave.

Lloyd seemed to be satisfied with his achievement, at least it was a start. Maybe Wyldfyre will finally change and manage to open up a little more with him in the future and with others as she did with Kai.


--------------------------------------------------


Days later, Lloyd seems to be about to give up on Wyldfyre, but not in the way many believe, Lloyd would not abandon her to her fate, but he believes that it is useless to try to convince Wyldfyre to appease his anger. During the following days after Lloyd gave him the tablet, it seemed that things had calmed down in the monastery, Wyldfyre no longer destroyed as many things as usual, sometimes Lloyd even heard her from the stables or outside the monastery as she used the tablet when recording meaningless voice messages or when she tested the tablet's camera with anything she saw, she even took several photos of the things she herself destroyed or burned.

At least she didn't take up Kai's habit of taking pictures of herself.

But after resuming lessons again to continue Lloyd's Ninja training, things got worse again. Wyldfyre seemed to get frustrated feeling that Lloyd's training wasn't going to get them anywhere, and after unleashing her flames again in the monastery Nya and Cole had to intervene by using their powers to put out the flames, Wyldfyre returned furiously to the stables.

But after several hours of not hearing any explosions, Lloyd checked the stable and discovered that both Wyldfyre and Heatwave were nowhere to be found.

At first they thought he would return soon, but then a few days passed...

- Calm down Lloyd, you just have to give him some space - answers Nya watching as Lloyd walks back and forth in a worried manner in the game room.

- Three days have passed - comments Lloyd - What if something happened to him? –

- She has Heatwave with her, and it doesn't seem like she wanted to leave for a long, left her things here. These days have been difficult for her, maybe being away from the monastery will calm her down and then she will return –

- What if not? – Lloyd fears as he stops and glances at Nya.

- She'll be fine, I assure you – Nya says as she places her hand on Lloyd's shoulder, as a way of reassuring him.

They both know deep down that Wyldfyre will be fine, she has Heatwave and they don't doubt that she's someone strong, reckless, but strong. Besides, Kai was the one who trained her after all, a comfort that at least gave Lloyd and Nya.

- Just... – Lloyd begins as he lets out a tired and deep sigh as he sits on the couch. And Nya also sits with him – I just wouldn't want something bad to happen to her, we're not as close as Kai was with her, but... I still worry about her. She's also a member of our team, I'd hate for something bad to happen to her –

- She's strong, like Kai, we just have to give her time and she'll be fine, but if she takes more days to come back, then we'll go look for her ourselves, is that okay with you? – Nya says with a confident tone towards Lloyd.

Lloyd sighs in relief, at least a little – It's okay –


--------------------------------------------------


And it seemed that Nya was right, after talking about the possible disappearance of Wyldfyre with Heatwave it turned out that she returned to the monastery one day somewhat... changed.

Lloyd noticed that she seemed to be calmer, at least a little, he even noticed that her half-moon hair figure was no longer there, from what Wyldfyre said, it seems that she herself found some baby dragons which were born separated from their pack and Wyldfyre took care of returning them to their dragon family, it seems that Wyldfyre managed to calm her negative feelings, now she proved to be more open with others about how she really felt about Kai's absence.

This seemed to be a great achievement for Lloyd, he even noticed how she lived more with Arin and Sora, in addition, Sora showed Wyldfyre a device on how to understand the language of dragons.

Right now Nya was fixing Wyldfyre's hair since without her wooden brooch Wyldfyre's hair really was a mess.

- Ouch - Wyldfyre complains after receiving his tenth hair pull from Nya's brush.

- I'm sorry Wyldfyre, but your hair is a real challenge to solve – Nya apologizes as she goes back to brushing Wylfyre's hair.

- Tell me... – Wyldfyre begins somewhat cautiously – Has Kai ever had to deal... with his anger like I did? –

For a moment Nya paused, memories of seeing her brother deal with his anger coming to her mind in a quick flash.

- Kai dealt with his anger in other ways Wyldfyre, believe me, you did it better than him –

- Ha-ha, really? That means I'm good with this anger thing – Wyldfyre proudly admits. But then she found herself confused by Nya's statement – ​​Wait, what do you mean? Isn't Kai an expert in all that patience and controlling negative feelings? –

- Believe me, my brother is the last person you want to turn to if you want to talk about patience. But over time he's gotten better, he's been more relaxed, but... he might still have difficulties –

- Oh... - now Wyldfyre knew a new thing about Kai.

- In the past his decisions might not have been the best when it came to facing his own anger or sadness, but he still tried to move forward, to improve, so he wouldn't have to resort to a path that would hurt him more – Nya explains.

- Is that what he felt when you, uh... became one with... the sea? – Wyldfyre still hadn't heard the full story of how Nya merged with the sea, so it was a topic she still didn't know about.

- The boys didn't want to give me many details...especially Kai and Jay. But from what I understood, Kai focused on training young people to help them defend themselves, that at least helped him forget my absence just a little, I was afraid he would make bad decisions about himself again –

- I see... - after being silent for a minute Wyldfyre turned to look at Nya again - Is it true that time heals wounds? Honestly, I don't like this feeling I'm feeling since Kai is no longer with us –

- It's not always about time, Wyldfyre. But there will always be ways to heal what hurts us in different ways –

- I understand –

With that, Wyldfyre let Nya finish brushing her hair.
