It was a warm, sunny afternoon in a small village named Ignacia. The beautiful sky was combined with colors of oranges and pinks. The village was known for their peacefulness.
An old man named Wu was walking his way towards the village. Walking on the sandy ground, his peaceful walk was disturbed by a loud noise, feeling that something was dropped on the ground.
Turning around, he saw that it was a person. From afar, the person was wearing white robes, their hair blowing softly into the slight breeze, but what surprised him was that your skin was pale white, nearly matching your robes.
He jogged his way to them, seeing if they were okay.
Coming closer, he got a better look at you. Grains of sand were on your clothing, in your hair, and some on your pale face. He slowly made his way to your body, his hand gently shaking you awake.
"Hello... are you okay?" his voice spoke out. He needed to know what happened to you. As he continued to shake you awake, you felt your eyes slowly lid up. Your have lidded eyes looked around, seeing that an elderly man was waking you up.
You stared into his eyes, your white eyes and black voided pupils stared into his concerned ones. "Ah, I'm glad that you were alright, pale one. It looks like the impact from falling made you pass out" the man spoke.
Staring at him, you noticed that he wasn't freaking out, not showing any fear, but worriedness. You slightly nodded, showing that you were ok. He put his hand out, wanting to help you up.
You looked at his hand before slowly grabbing it, your cold hands grasped against his warm ones. Pulling you up, he could now see you at your full height, surprised that you didn't wince in pain. You stood up tall, seeing that you were a couple inches taller than him. He softly chuckled.
"Well, aren't you a tall fella" While you were dusting off the sand of your robes and hair, you found yourself speaking. "Where... am I? Who are you?" your voice was low, but it was smooth. Questioning eyes staring into his.
"Well, you're near a small village named Ignacia. This place you're in is called Ninjago" he explained. "My name is Wu." You took in the information, slowly nodding at him. "Do you remember what happened before you passed out?" he asked.
You slightly furrowed your eyebrows, trying to remember what happened to you. "All I remember was that I was falling... While I was falling, I saw a bright light before impacting to the ground. That's all I remember" you muttered to him.
He hummed at the information you gave him. "I've noticed that you aren't in any pain, are you feeling okay?" he asked. You nodded, telling him that you weren't in pain from that fall.
"Why don't you come with me? I was going to the village for something I need" Your half-lidded eyes stared into the ground, thinking if you should follow this person. You didn't know what to do, so you nodded, slowly following him from behind.
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
You two slowly made your way to the village. Looking around, you see people going about their business, small buildings making trails on the ground. You faced forward, following Wu.
What you didn't see were the villagers' faces. Some were in terror, never seeing a tall, pale figure in their lives. But some people were in awe, they felt odd as they found beauty from you.
Your pale skin complimented your hair, the robes flowed gently against you. They felt as if they saw an exoticness in you.
Walking further into the village, you come across a small, wooded shop. A small sign named, 'Four Weapons Blacksmiths' You see two figures, a boy and a girl. You see that they were chatting with each other.
Entering the shop, Wu started to speak. "Your metal is loud and heavy, useless in the art of stealth. All those tools for a samurai yet not for a ninja?" His words of wisdom spoke to the boy with spiky hair. He turned around, his face filled with annoyance.
"Ninja? You're a long way from finding a ninja in these-" the boy froze. Wu saw that his eyes were wandering to something else. Turning around, he saw that he was staring at you. Your half-lidded eyes stared into his widened yet fascinated eyes.
"Woah... hey old man, who is that behind you, I've never seen something like them before" he started to study your appearance.
Your pale skin matching your white robes, hair gently brushing against your face. He found himself staring at you, slowly consuming the beauty within you.
"Kai, are you okay? Did something happen-" before she could finish, she saw Kai's face, showing admiration. She followed where his direction was, making her slightly flinched when she saw you.
You towered her in height. She saw that your half-lidded eyes turned towards her, making her see your full face. She was captured by your exotic beauty, never seeing something like this in her life.
While the two stared, the sound of fingers snapped into the air, making the two fall out of the trance. "I've found them unconscious on the ground. They seemed to have lost their memory as well."
The girl gasps, making her way towards you, gently grasping your soft yet cold hands, feeling her fingers trail across them.
"A-are you feeling alright? Do you need anything?" Shaking your head, you spoke gently to them. "No, I don't need anything... Thank you though" your smooth voice enlightens their ears, feeling a slight shudder from the lowness.
She nodded, slowly letting go of your hands yet she felt a feeling of wanting to hold them longer.
The boy hurriedly spoke, his back was turned against you and Wu. "I-if it's something special you're looking for, I can show y-" turning around, he saw that you two weren't there anymore.
A small frown formed on his face, seeing that you were gone, he wanted to talk to you more.
Looking to his right, he saw his sister looking at him with a sly smile. "You know Kai... you really shouldn't stare at people" she spoke in a slight smug tone.
His eyes furrowed at her. "Hey, you were staring too, Nya. I mean... I've never seen someone like them before. They looked enchanting." He started to smile, thinking of your appearance. Nya started to chuckle at him, agreeing with him as well.
After a moment, a dark cloud formed over the village. Nya saw the villagers in the distance, some were wearing armor. She heard multiple rumblings under them. In a further distance, she started to see multiple skeletons on rides coming towards the village.
Turning around, she saw her brother putting on armor as well. "Kai, what are you doing-" she was cut off. "I don't know, but I need you to stay here" he told her firmly.
Kai ran out of the shop, quickly attacking the skeletons that were trying to harm the villagers. While attacking, Nya manages to pull a sneak attack to the skeleton near her. "I thought I told you to stay back," he yelled, wanting to protect her. "And let you have all the fun? Yeah right."
As the two siblings fought back-to-back against the skeletons, they started to see a skeleton with four arms, armed with weapons. They started to get outnumbered by them.
"Uhhh... oops"
Before the four-armed skeleton attacked him, the skeleton froze, his body fell into the ground, creating a huge dent on the ground, knocking him out. He looked up to see a familiar figure, it was you. But he froze as well, seeing the look on your face.
Your entire face was covered in a jet-black shadow. Your black pupils were enlarged, taking fully in your eyes. A full, eerie smile was formed on your face, showing your pearly white teeth.
The tips of your smile reach to your cheeks, giving you a haunting look. He heard slight static coming from you as well. Huge eyes staring into the four-armed skeletons' souls.
The haunted look on your face seemed to slowly form back into your normal self, your voided pupils slowly formed into a normal size. The eerie smile slowly formed into a resting face.
You slowly made your way towards them, cold hands gently checking for injuries on them. They find themselves slightly shivering from your gentle touch.
"Are you two feeling alright?" you spoke in a low tone. Kai and Nya quickly nodded their heads. "Y-yeah, we're fine"
"Thank you so much" they both spoke with relief. From behind you, the two saw a golden tornado attacking the skeletons in the distance. It made its way to the four-armed skeleton, hitting him with it. The tornado stopped, revealing Wu.
The four-armed skeleton winced in pain, trying to get up from the ground. "Looks like your spinjustu is getting rusty, Sensei Wu"
Wu hummed at his words. "Nothing like a bone to sharpen its edge, Samukai" Before Wu could attack, Samukai tried to pull a sneak attack on Kai, but you quickly grabbed him. You felt him slightly shudder against you.
"Lord Garmadon says take the girl!" Samukai spoke, alerting the other skeletons around the area. Wu's eyes widened in shock. "Lord Garmadon? Oh dear..."
Samukai retreated to his skull trunk. He launches a giant skull hand, grabbing Nya before driving away with the other skeletons. Nya's cries for help echoed throughout the air.
Kai's eyes started to water, seeing that her sister had been kidnapped. "No... they took her... there's no way" his body started to shake against yours.
Wu started to come across you two, pulling out a bamboo stick, hitting him across the head. "I told you. Useless." The words and impact made him start to lash out. "Why didn't you do anything!? You could've used your, what's it called, twitsitzu or your-"
"Spinjustu! And if you didn't notice, that was Samukai, King of the Underworld. I fear things are going to get worse from here if Garmadon's involved" Wu explained.
"But you did nothing, what's so important about tha-" before he could lash out even more, he felt soft, cold fingers slowly combing his hair. Looking up, he saw that it was you.
Your face showed sympathy for him, seeing that he was frustrated that his sister was kidnapped. He started to slowly calm down from your affection.
"What's so important? How about Ninjago itself? You two get comfy and I'll tell two a tale" You and Kai stood as he got ready to talk, your hand still combing Kai's hair. He felt himself start to slightly lean into your touch.
"Long before time had a name, Ninjago was created by the First Spinjitzu Master, by using the Four Weapons of Spinjitzu"
"The Scythe of Quakes, the Nunchucks of Lightning, the Shurikens of Ice, and the Sword of Fire. Weapons so powerful, no one can handle all of their power at once. When he passed away, his two sons swore to protect them, but the oldest was consumed by the darkness and wanted to possess them all"
"A battle between brothers broke out, the oldest ended up being consumed by the darkness, struck down and banished to the underworld. Peace was returned, the younger brother hid the weapons, but he knew that his older brother would be back for them"
"So he placed a guardian to protect them, with fear of his demise, an honest man hid the map to the weapons"
Wu finished his story, seeing that you took in the information, now knowing the full origin of the place you feel into. "That man was your father, Kai. The older brother is Lord Garmadon. I need to find those weapons"
"So you're the younger brother? You came here looking for the map?" Kai asked.
Wu shook his head at Kai's question. "I came here for you. It seems that my brother has struck a deal with Samukai. If he collects them all, even I wouldn't be able to stop him. But you, I feel that you have the fire inside. I will train you to use it and make you become a Spinjitzu Master"
He then looked towards you, smiling softly. "I would like for you to join us as well, I've seen the power you had earlier, and I was surprised. You'll make an excellent addition" a faint smile on your face, seeing that he had shown interest in you for the team.
"Also, have you remembered your name? If not, I could give you one if you like?" he asked you. You find yourself thinking, trying to remember anything else.
You sighed. "No... I can't remember anything else" you spoke. A hand gently patted your back, seeing that it was Kai's.
Wu smiled. "Well, I have a perfect name for you. Your new name will be Tenshi" say the name a few times, you started to like the name. Kai noticed that Tenshi means Angel, it was perfect for you.
"I like it... Thank you Wu" He nodded, happy that you accepted the name.
It was Kai's turn to speak. "Look, I'm flattered, but I need to save my sister!" Walking away, he felt the bamboo stick hit him against the head once more.
"Haha, you mule. You're not even ready to face my pinky toe. If you want your sister back, you're going to need to control the fire within you."
Kai sighed, knowing that he had no choice but to train, but he was glad that you were going to be here as well. He turned towards Wu, "So... when do we start?"
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
As the next day came through, Kai struggled climbing the Mountains of Impossible Height. You and Wu were already on the top reach of the Monastery. You feel yourself starting to feel bad for Kai, seeing that he had to go through intense training.
"How... long... is training... going to be? Aren't you rushing a bit" Kai tried to catch his breath, tired from all the training that was thrown against him at once.
"Patience Kai, you'll be ready when you're ready" He opened the doors to the monastery, you two followed behind him. "A monastery? You expect me to fight in a place of peace?"
"Not fight. To train in. You must train in order to become a true ninja. Also, Tenshi will be here to help you as well" he explained. "Yeah, but there's nothing here"
Wu pressed a button, revealing a variety of training weapons. Kai was in awe as he looked at the weapons. Coming closer, he goes on top of the training poles. "Oh dear..." Wu muttered in worry.
Kai was then launched in the air, alerting you to jump with great height, catching him in the air. As you both landed, he couldn't keep his eyes off you, fascinated that you were quick to catch him. You gently placed him down to the ground.
"You need to complete the training course before me and Tenshi finish our tea, then we'll see if you pass. As of today, you failed."
"But I didn't even-"
"Patience" he then walked away, leaving you with Kai. You walked towards him, gently rubbing his back.
"It's okay. I'll be right here if you need me..." you spoke. Kai smiled, feeling a little flush on his face. "Thanks Tenshi" he was glad that he could get to know you more. A few days have passed. Kai trains his hardest but doesn't meet expectations. But one day, things started to change.
You and Wu were enjoying some tea. But Kai pushed Wu's cup away, stalling him. He pours in more tea before vanishing. Wu turned to see that Kai wasn't there.
Kai then offered you and Wu some sugar cubes. "Was that one or two?" Wu was glad that he was getting better at his training. You gave him a faint smile, making him smile back at you.
"So when do I learn spinjitzu?" he questioned Wu. "You already have, but now, I advised you to get some rest. Tenshi, will you come with me for a second?" you nodded, putting the teacup down. You softly waved at Kai, he waved back as well, not wanting you to leave.
As Kai went to bed, you were in a room with Wu, you both sitting at opposite ends of a long rug. "Tenshi, how would you like to stay here? Since your memory is all foggy, why not stay here?" he asked. You thought about the questions he asked you.
There was nowhere to go, but since he offered you to stay at the monastery, you made up your mind to stay. "Sure, I would like to stay... Thank you Wu"
"Your welcome, Tenshi. I'm glad that I was able to help you" You both softly smiled before enjoying some more tea. Taking another sip, you hear multiple noises in the background.
Putting down your cup, you rushed your way to Kai's room. You burst through the door, hearing collective screaming from Kai and three other people.
Kai was surrounded by three ninjas dressed in black clothing. The sound of static started to pierce their ears. You slowly walked towards them, the haunting look with the huge eerie smile emerging from your face, ready to attack them.
