yo wazzup gays? I got a gift for ya'll!!! (please reblog O_O)
I'm back with another skylor idea because she didn't show up yet and I think there needs to be more ideas but like what if she meets wyldfyre when she's (wyldfyre) on a date with Roby. Like still have the misunderstanding of thinking Kai's dead because that would be cool, like some fight breaks out or something cause bad guys and stuff and then like after the situation is resolved nya shows up gets held back by skylor asking a bunch of questions then a little later kai shows up because wyldfyre almost burnt down a building.
Drawing of nya introducing Skylor to wyldfyre and sora because girls night featuring dareth on the ground and on fire
Second image is of skylor being reluctant to work with wyldfyre because I think she'd be salty while thinking Kai's dad
Kinda Relating to this post except Skylor dosent immediately lash out and instead holds in emotions
The outfits are based off vaugly what I can find about the next part of dragons rising except Skylor

No POV
Four days till Christmas Day
All the ninjas including Pixal woke up.
Pixal and Zane went to get the Christmas things when everyone was waiting for them to return. They saw Pixal bringing in their Christmas tree, and Zane behind her bringing a stack of boxes.
As he put them down, he helped Pixal put the tree up, everyone else helped put up decorations around the monetary.
When Pixal and Zane finished putting up the tree and decorating it, they saw all the ninjas finished too.
Later Nya placed her big speaker in the lounge room and began to stream so Christmas song.
Pixal decided to call Skylor if she could come and join them to celebrate Christmas (upcoming Kailor), Lloyd asked her if he can go to the never realm and asked Akita to join them too.
She told him to let the others know about going to the never realm,
When he went he got home after a few hours.
He introduced Akita to them,
"This is Akita, she hasn't visited Ninjago so this is her first time," he told them.
Pixal POV
Some reason this morning because there were five days only left to go until Christmas day,
All of us woke quite early just to get ready.
Lloyd just arrived from the never realm with Akita,
She looks nice, she was excited to come and celebrate Christmas.
Later Skylor blurted through the door which made me jump,
Kai went over and gave her a giant hug.
"Ohh, who's this?" She asked me as she pointed to Akita,
"That's Akita, it's her first time at Ninjago from the never realm," I told her.
"Well, we got a new girl for our girl gang," she told us as she plopped down next to Akita.
"It's nice to have friends around," Akita said,
We all began to tell her about the monetary and what missions we went on.
Later Akita and Skylor had to share a room for the night, they were fine with it.
Three Days till Christmas Day
This morning everyone went to the supermarket to get things for the big dinner we would be having on Christmas Eve.
We are also getting presents for our Kris Kringle we'll be having on Christmas Day,
The whole day was so busy,
I did cooking with Zane.
For some reason, I could see Zane staring at me when I was helping him cook.
When I turned and looked at him he turns his head back on to what he was doing.
We managed to do one-quarter of the feast we will be having on Christmas day, after we were done we stored the food in the fridge.
When we went to the lounge room, we saw everyone who came back from the shops sleeping.
We both decided to do the rest of the decorations outside the monastery, after that we made dinner.
Surprisingly everyone blurted into the room, they may have thought the dinner might be ready.
"Is dinner ready?" Lloyd asked us,
"You just in time," Zane told him.
"Yay!" Everyone cheered, normally everyone loved Zane's cooking.
When we served dinner everyone snarfed down their dinner, for some reason I ate so slow.
When I finished eating I realized that nearly everyone has left the dinner table, the only person who was with me was Zane.
I grabbed my plate and Zane said that he will do the night chores, I decided to wait for him.
But it was taking so long for him to do all that, I waited a whole hour, but he still didn't come out from the kitchen.
Hell, I was tired that I fell asleep on the couch, although it was getting cold, I began to shiver.
Zane POV
I was just doing the night chores in the kitchen, it took me a long time than normal.
Maybe because of how me and Pixal did dinner plus did some of the festival food for Christmas Day.
When I was finished I went to the lounge room to watch something on the TV, I normally did this when I didn't feel like going to sleep.
But when I went to the lounge room I saw Pixal asleep on the couch, she was also shivering a lot.
She must be cold I thought,
I cuddled her, her shivers stopped.
I ended up falling asleep with her on the couch.
Two Days until Christmas Day
This morning I woke up to find Pixal gone, I also felt a fluffy blanket over me.
I stretched myself and got off the couch, I went to the kitchen counter and found Pixal, Nya, Jay and Lloyd there.
Pixal and Nya were on the high chairs near the kitchen counter (pls don't think High chairs are the ones for babies, I just don't know how to say those chairs that are tall and you can make it go down and up. They also are at the kitchen counter, so yeah I can't say what they are).
Lloyd and Jay were making pancakes, they weren't bad at making them, I joined with Pixal and Nya.
"You slept in," Pixal said giggling,
"Uh, yeh," I said kind of blushing.
My eyes then went over to Jay who was going to flip over the pancake, I saw something on the handle of the pan.
That's when I realized the time yesterday Lloyd accidentally broke the handle off the pan and I decided to put some glue on it hoping it would stick.
"Uh, Jay doesn't use that it's....." I was going to finish my sentence when he was going to flip the pancake over.
Just then the handle fell off and we all heard a pop noise from the pan, the other part of the pan which contained the pancake fell on the floor with a Bang!
"Broken" I finished,
Nya began laughing,
"Well at least that didn't hit your foot," Pixal said to Jay.
"Yeh, it doesn't matter that was the last one and there was less pancake mix on it," he said.
Lloyd then brought a plate out from near the stove, a tall stack of pancakes showed,
He divided them up and placed them on plates.
Later he called out everyone for breakfast,
We all grabbed syrup, butter and other sweet stuff for our pancakes.
I saw Nya have hers with butter, syrup and some marshmallows,
Kai having his with Nutella (Nutella is a delicious chocolate spread, you got to try it),
Lloyd was having his with ice cream and chocolate sauce,
Akita was having hers with butter and syrup,
Cole was having his with Nutella and chocolate chips,
Skylor was having hers with, ice-cream and Nutella,
Pixal was having hers with just syrup,
Jay was having his with........ (#here it comes) Lotta syrup, chocolate chips, chocolate sauce, ice cream, marshmallows, candy and big dollops of Nutella.
And I had mine with butter and syrup,
During the day, Jay might have regretted having so much sugar by the fact he had a three-hour sugar rush with also a sugar crash.
"ooh, my stomach" he groaned as he clutched himself,
"Sweetie, you shouldn't have had that much sugar, that was too much," Nya said cuddling him. (that reminds me of how I was making a gingerbread house at school and we used lollies for decorations and I was half putting the house together, half eating all the lollies and I had a sugar rush and crash during the whole school day)
Me and Pixal managed to get about half of the festival dinner done for Christmas Day.
Later during the night after dinner, I spotted Kai and Skylor hanging up mistletoe around the monetary.
Is it just me or am I just staring at it for no reason,
"Well looks like the whole place would be full of them tomorrow," Pixal said as I turned to see her on the couch with me.
"Yeh, there gonna be lots of kisses wouldn't it," I said, she slightly blushed at what I said.
"I'm pretty sure tomorrow Jay might get the celebration horn at 5 am and wake us up," she told me.
"Yeh that is quite accurate," I told her, then my eyes travelled to the window, it was snowing.
"What is it?" Pixal asked me and then turned her head to see what I was looking at.
"It's snowing," I said to her,
"yeh," she said,
All of sudden, Pixal curled up on me like a kitten and pulled herself closer to me.
I immediately blushed a dark blue, she gently grabbed my hand.
Her hand felt warm and soft, I just pulled her closer to me.
She just looked up at me with a soft smile, I smiled back.
After a while, it was getting late so I got off the couch and went to bed and Pixal decided to do the night chores.
Christmas Eve
Pixal POV
As expected Jay, this morning got his horn and yelled to wake up,
"WAKE UP, IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!!" He yelled through our doors.
What was so annoying was that he also banged on the doors like crazy
That's when I heard Kai in the hallway yelling so loud at Jay to "Shut The Hell Up"
When I went to the kitchen I saw the time on the shelf, it was 5 am.
During the morning we streamed Christmas songs and some of my friends including my sister Nya sang along.
Me and Zane did all the festival food for tomorrow which was Christmas Day.
I went over to Borg Industries to go and see my father Cyrus Borg,
When I went to the floor he is normally in which was level 100.
When the doors of the elevator opened I gasped, the whole room was filled with lights, tinsel, small baubles and on the corner there was a big Christmas tree which was full of presents underneath it.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Cyrus said,
"Yeah, it is," I said as I walked up to him.
He wheeled over to the presents underneath the tree, he grabbed some of them and checked the tags before handing them to me.
"This is for you and the ninjas," he said
"Thank you," I said as I put the presents down and ducked my hand down one of my pockets in my jacket.
"That's yours," I said as I pulled out a small present and gave it to him,
"Thank you," he said as he pulled me into a hug.
It's very nice to have a father I thought,
When we pulled away I took the presents my father gave me and walked to the monastery.
I placed the presents under the tree,
Some of the presents had a sticker on the top saying "Don't open til Xmas".
I still don't know why some people use the name Xmas instead of Christmas (me neither).
During the evening it began to snow again, I never seen it snowing for a while.
But it's hard to live when it is cold, that is why all of us wear a lot of layers of clothes including me and Zane.
During the night everyone played more Christmas songs, which made some couples dance except for me I don't know how to dance.
The whole time I sat on the couch with a fluffy blanket around me,
I looked out the window, it was still snowing,
Without anyone knowing I pulled on my coat and went outside.
I went outside the monetary and sat down on the bench behind the small tree as I looked up at the sky watching the snowfall,
For some reason when I sat here it reminded me of how I and Zane got our photo taken here.
I smiled at the memory,
Suddenly I felt an arm around me, this made me jump for a second.
I looked and saw Zane with me also looking at the sky seeing the snow,
I lean on his shoulder with my head.
I could feel a cold breeze brush against my metal skin which made me shiver,
That's when Zane took off the scarf he was wearing and wrapped it around me.
I looked up and smiled at him, he smiled back,
He gently took my hand and pressed it to his chest.
I pulled myself closer to him,
My eyes gently closed as I could feel his warmth against mine.
Zane POV
I could feel some weight on my shoulder,
When I looked down I saw Pixal asleep.
I shook her a bit to wake her up but she wouldn't,
I signed and carried her bridal style and took her inside to her room.
I decided to do the night chores tonight after the dancing party which took up until midnight,
This mainly made everyone tired after.
Christmas Day
In the morning I woke up and made breakfast,
Everyone began to come from the kitchen door at the same time at 7 am.
I noticed that Pixal wasn't with them,
"Where's Pixal?" I asked them.
"She might have slept in," Nya said,
I nodded and served them breakfast.
Later when the others were opening their presents I walked fast to Pixal's room.
I knocked on her door a few times, she didn't answer.
When I opened the door she was still asleep on her bed,
I walked to her and kneeled to see her face on the pillow.
I placed my hand on her cheek, she seemed to sink into it.
I began to think of a way to wake her up making her not annoyed.
Pixal POV
I still remembered how I fell asleep on Zane's shoulder,
Just for a second, I was sleeping peacefully, when, something was tickling my head and cheeks.
I began giggling as I woke up, I held up a hand to whoever was making my head and cheeks ticklish.
I opened my eyes to see Zane close to me,
"Good morning Pix," he said to me.
Suddenly he pulled me into a hug and kissed me on my head,
"And Merry Christmas to you," he said as he stared into my green emerald orbs.
"Same to you," I said,
I got up and wrapped the covers around me from how cold the room was.
Zane gave me a cuddle which made me warm,
Then Zane left the room for me to change into my comfy warm clothes.
When I went to the lounge room which had the Christmas tree, there were lots of presents under the tree.
I walked over to the others who were opening their presents, I checked the present that had my name on it and opened it.
There was a purple cloak inside, immediately tried it on it was very comfy and warm.
After we all opened our presents, we all headed out to the snow.
I sat on the bench, I was thinking of what I can do,
I saw Nya, Skylor and Akita going up a hill and playing with their sledge.
I saw Kai and Cole were making a snowman,
"Pixal, why don't you come and join us" Nya called out to me.
I smiled and joined them up the hill, as we all sat on the sledge.
Skylor began pushing the sledge down the hill as she joined in with us.
We all began to squeal as we all raced down the hill,
Although there was something in the way.
It was Jay, Cole, Zane, Kai and Lloyd, uh oh.
Then as we reached them, they saw us and huddled up screaming,
Then we crashed into them.
We were all on the snow,
"wow" Nya said,
"Let's..." Skylor said,
"....Do it...." Akita,
"Again," I said as I joined in their conversation.
I and my friend later went to get some hot chocolate,
We kept on talking in the monetary.
Zane POV
I was talking to my brothers with hot chocolate in the lounge room,
"are you going to do it now?" Jay suddenly asked me.
"No, not now," I said, what Jay was talking about was that I have got something to give Pixal but I need to wait for the right time.
Later we had Kris Kringle,
We had numbers on our presents,
I got number 5 and I got a tracking device that helps me to contact other ninjas.
After we had Kris Kringle, I went with Pixal to the kitchen to help me out with placing the festival food on the table.
After we were finished setting the table up, everyone came in and grabbed plates to serve themselves food.
They must have smelled the food I thought,
Me and Pixal went last to serve ourselves food.
After dinner, Pixal asked me if we could talk in her bedroom, which she wanted to talk to in private.
When I finished washing the dishes I headed to her room with her,
We both sat on her bed.
"I got something for you," she told me,
"Ok," I said, she pulled out a box with an icy blue bow on the top.
"Thank you Pix" I smiled, when I opened the box, I saw a fluffy scarf.
When I pulled it out and on the edges, it had icy blue and purple writing on it,
I peeked down at the words, then I realized it was words we said nicely to each other.
The purple ones were spoken by Pixal and the blue ones were from me,
I looked at Pixal, who was smiling at me.
"I love it," I said as I pulled her into a hug,
"Did you make this?" I asked her.
"Yeah, my dad taught me," she told me,
"I got something too," I said as I pulled out a wrapped box from my pocket.
She gently took it from my hands and opened it and smiled,
"Oh Zane I love it,"she said as she pulled me into a hug.
We stayed like that for a while,
"Come on, let's go and see the others," I told her.
She nodded and we both headed to the lounge room where everyone was.
We stopped in the entrance in the lounge room,
"Where were you two?" Kai asked us. We both blushed slightly,
"Don't think about it we were just talking about something ok?" I said not to make Kai tease us.
"Pixal why don't you come over and sit with us," Nya said as she made room.
Pixal was about to go to them when someone said,
"Hey, your missing something," Skylor said.
"What," she asked, then Skylor pointed at something above her.
I looked up too, it was Mistletoe, she looked at me blushing a dark purple along with me blushing a dark blue.
She walked up to me and I cupped her face looking deeply into her eyes,
She smiled softly at me, just as our lips connected, I couldn't help but smile.
We heard the others cheering and whistling, as we pulled away we began giggling softly while our heads were touching.
Authors Note: The was a twist, but wait there it is few questions of what you think you can answer from me so,
1. What do you think Zane was doing to wake Pixal up on Christmas day?
2. What do you think Pixal got from Zane?

Hope you have a Merry Christmas 🎄
God that hurts
alright ninjago fandom, which of these we most mad abt today??
really embarrassed to say that before watching dr i actually thought wyldfyre was kai & skylor's kid.
bye i'm gonna go hide in a hole questioning my judgement rn.
Whats hellspawn's relation ship with the rest of the EM's and other side characters?
Skylor
- Hellspawn hates Lloyd's favorite noodle dish on the menu, and Skylor won't let him live it down.
- She loves the fortune cookies though, which Skylor lets her have on the house. And after she opens each one, Lloyd snorts and calls out how ridiculous the fortune written is and Skylor just rolls her eyes before telling hellspawn that he's just jealous that his destiny is always the worst.
- Getting hellspawn to eat veggies is a struggle and Skylor immediately tells Lloyd it's his own fault for that. Lloyd can't even bring himself to argue because she isn't the first person who's told him that.
- Hellspawn also often questions Skylor about when she's going to marry her Uncle Kai and Skylor literally chokes. Lloyd doesn't completely stop cackling about it until a whole week later.
- She's the first person to question Lloyd about his daughter's elemental power and Lloyd just goes blank, not even sure of it himself. He isn't ready for her to inherit his and for him to lose his powers yet so he just tells Skylor that she's too young for them to be sure of anything yet.
Karloff
- I think Karloff would be this really big burly uncle that seems kinda intimidating at first, but is actually really sweet and is absolutely capable of crushing her when picking her up for hugs.
- During Garmadon's rule she often ran into Karloff and spent time with him because Lloyd wasn't feeling himself. (This was during Hunted, mind you, Lloyd wasn't fine at all)
- Hellspawn is fascinated by Karloff's 'mittens' and often played rock paper scissors with him while at the base. Thankfully, Karloff was all too happy to entertain her.
Tox
- She made hellspawn want to have green hair and Lloyd and Nya flat out told her no. (This was just after Hunted ended btw)
- Well the girl sulked about it for quite some time. When Nya told Kai about this, he almost had a heart attack.
Griffin Turner
- This guy lost his sunglasses at the Resistance's Base and was forced to play tag to get it back. Needless to say, he didn't sign up for this when he decided to help Lloyd & Nya in S9, but he bears with it. Maybe she's growing on him.
Neuro
- when Griffin moaned to him and Paleman that his sunglasses were missing, Neuro played dumb and encouraged the narrative that he probably left them somewhere, instead of telling him that Lloyd's daughter was the one who took them. He's already seen into her mind and found out what she plans to do, so he's just gonna let Griffin endure it to fuck with him.
Paleman
- Dude's the best person to play hide and seek with and hellspawn really wants to take full advantage of that. The only problem is, this guy keeps disappearing because he's learned from what happened to Griffin, so it's a bit of a struggle. The only time he actually agreed was after she asked him why he was called the Master of Light when all he can do is just disappear.
Shade
- Paleman wasn't happy that she showed no sign of making Shade play with her so he dragged him to join them. It was a fun game, surprisingly.
Camille, Ash, Bolobo, Gravis & Jacob.
- Since they weren't present in Hunted, hellspawn's never met them. (I'm not counting the tournament of elements season because hellspawn didn't even participate in it)
Mystake
- She met hellspawn for the first time when Lloyd took her to the tea shop, not knowing what to do since she was severely sick. Fortunately, Mystake had a tea for that, but didn't tell Lloyd that the virus hellspawn had only affected Oni children, which was why the medicine from the pediatrician Lloyd usually took her to didn't work.
Dareth
- Aside from Skylor, logically, this is another character that really interacts a lot with hellspawn. He even had to take care of her for a short period of time during Skybound after the ninja broke out of prison...but he doesn't remember this because of Jay's final wish.
- One day before S8, Lloyd lost her while going grocery shopping and she ran into Dareth, who brought her back to a panicking Lloyd.
- There should be a lot more but I can't think of anything else. 😅 You can add some if you want.
Ronin
- Hellspawn loves pulling his hair whenever she can reach it and Ronin curses Lloyd everytime she does. Whenever Jay sees this, he just lets it be for the fun of it.
Ray & Maya
- These two couldn't believe that their friend's kid now has a kid of his own so Misako had a pretty hard time explaining things to them.
- Maya : Okay, so not only are now my two children nearly adults but YOU'RE TELLING ME WE'VE BEEN IMPRISONED LONG ENOUGH FOR GARM TO HAVE A GRANDCHILD???!
- They really love having hellspawn around though. Ray often remarks on how much she looks and acts like Lloyd and he'll smile, and then Nya will chime in by saying she's actually much worse than Lloyd. Just give her a bit of candy and you'll have an absolute nightmare.
Master or Amber- Skylor Chen
Idk where this ship came from but its kinda cute (well it might seem crazy what im about to way but i dont really like skylor the ship like i said earlier is cute but i can't stand skylor x kai ong sorry to all kailor shippers, but i think that vania is a really cool character) i forgor to outline the second vanias shoe
The girlies I've never drawn before
I asked my brother to pick random characters from ninjago (my oc was also an option) for me to draw, and this is how It turned out
I never designed Pixal, or Skylor, much less Tox, so I had to make a design for them, (and yes, I redesigned Morro's hair, and I made it with a fuchsia colored gi)
I kinda liked how this one turned out
I made a Ninjago Oc (Click for better quality)
His name is Thomas but prefer being called Tommy, is 22 years old.
Tommy first appeared in the series at the Tournament of Elements, at first he joined the Tournament for fun, after being one of the first's ones to notice that something was wrong with Chen and everything in the Island he just wanted to win the game to survive.
His elemental power is Control, with his power he can control anything he wants, but just for a determined amount of time, he discovered his powers at the age of 13, since he didn't earned his powers from anyone of his family he had to learn and train alone.
He can control people's, animals, serpentines, onis and dragons minds, but since he don't know much about his powers even after training for 4 years, he can't control any of them for more than 6 minutes, It also depends if any of these species stay persistent on not being controlled, or else it will last less.
Tommy passed the others years training how to figth in different styles since he can't use his powers for a long time after using them. He is also very smart and manipulative if he needs something from someone, at first he was like this with the ninjas, cuz he knowed that they were very strong and important people, and so he was also one of the first's allies.
Tommy has these marks on his both hands because of his powers, i know it doesn't actually make sense but i really wanted to do a mark on him, and since he needs to touch something he wants to control in order to have more control over them, i though it would fit.
Tommy didn't actually had anywhere important to go or be after the tournament, and since he stayed friend with almost every Elemental Master, he decided to go and annoy the most close ones. After getting bored of talking or hanging out with the same Elemental Masters he decided to pay a visit to Ninjago City, and the first person he visitted was Skylor, it was during season 7, after that he became very close to Sky, and since he stayed there with her all the time, she though it would be good to have a friend around.
Gonna write more about later, but if anyone have any questions about Thomas, his powers or anything about it, i don't have anything to and really want to write more about this so, please ask.
(Bonus image without the informations)
what do you think about kailor
it’s not a bad ship- it’s really not. I like skylor and kai’s dynamic, but honestly? they just don’t feel like a potential couple, yk? Kai and Skylor are seen ‘flirting’ with each other in seasons throughout ninjago, and it’s understandable why some people think they like each other. they probably did, but I think it was just the type of crush you kinda just get bored of. I believe that Kai and skylor would be better off as good friends. Friends can flirt. It doesn’t need to mean anything. I do it all the time- additionally, it would be nice to have a friendship with a girl/boy and flirt w/them, but just for fun. I think this would go very well with kai and skylor, since this kinda of duo fits them and it’s cute.
I think If tommy wanted them to be canon, he would’ve done it a long time ago. also kai is impatient. if he wanted to be with skylor, he would’ve jumped on the chance long time ago. he probably did like her at some point, most likely during the tournament of element season, and gradually kinda just got bored/ fell out of interest. idk. maybe it’s just me but I definitely don’t see any ‘romantic’ chemistry. def see the close friendship though.
also some very sketchy drawings
amberphoenix,,, good
Imagine the ninjas and Antonia, Olivia, Jesse, Skylor try to do a Tall VS Shorts challenge. Wich of them would have the most difficulty? The tall ( Kai, Cole, Zane, Skylor, Olivia ), the middle or the shorts ( Jay, Nya, Lloyd ) and how they'll do the competition?
Well first this is hilarious because it implies Jesse and Antonia are on a team of their own, and second I'd be extremely terrified of what Team Short is capable of; that's a dangerous trio right there adklfglkfds.
Team Tall is prone to far too many shenanigans to be successful lmao
Some old art for you guys!! :D
I used watercolour btw
(pan rights)
They look so beautiful!!! QuQ
I love it!! I love this drawing too much!! 😍💕
brei.........I beg thee.............for kailor 🥺🥺
i imagine kai is the type to hardcore flirt with anyone but the moment someone takes the initiative on him he blue screens
I'm sad :(
(Toy sad :()
La caída de Yang pero en versión Kailor ;-;
(The fall of Yang but Kailor version ;-;)
...I’ve just had a bit of an idea running around my head ever since we found out about Clouse’s sleeping issues
If one of the kiddos got up due to a nightmare or sleeping issues and Clouse found them since he was still up would he talk to them at all
Like have a bit of a heart to heart
(I just want Uncle Clouse okay TmT)
Oh my god absolutely yes. I need to write a drabble about this when skylor was younger it’s 2 am and this is going to be unedited so please excuse any spelling or grammatical errors I’m so filled with love for this idea.
The ticking of the clock was something Clouse had grown accustomed to in the otherwise still silence of the night. The creaking of the walls as the monastery shifted, wind whispering just outside the window, the nearly silent beating of bats’ wings in the nearby trees.
Clouse stood in one of the halls with a warm cup of tea in his hands, keeping his otherwise frigidly cold hands warm. He was staring out the window, occasionally glancing down both sides of the hallway when taking sips from his cup. The tea was poorly seeped, having sat in the overheated water for longer than intended, but it was enough to keep himself grounded after yet another two hours of relatively restless sleep.
He stayed in silence for what felt like eternity, boredom encompassing him despite his best efforts to think of things that were even remotely interesting. He thought about returning to the kitchen, or what Master Chen called a kitchen— being more a shottily built brick oven, questionably plumbed sink, cabinets and a pantry— and cleaning up the mess from Garmadon’s attempt at making dinner. After deciding that was better than standing around and not being productive, Clouse pushed himself off the wall and began to quietly walk the halls toward the kitchen.
While walking, Clouse heard something that was not of the usual nightly ambiance. He heard... Whimpering, what maybe even pass as quiet sobs, coming from his Master’s daughter’s room. He halted just after passing the door, slowly turning his head and pausing for a moment to register the sound. He had to admit, it pulled at his heart, if only the smallest amount. He stood still for another moment before hearing another series of sniffling from the room, shaking his head and quietly stepping toward the door, knocking as quietly as he could in hopes Skylor may hear.
There was a pause, before a quiet voice spoke up from within, “... Fafa?” The name usually reserved for Chen, who had insisted his young daughter call him ‘father’, and of course, at the time of Skylor just beginning to speak, she could not pronounce that many syllables.
“... No. Clouse.” He answered after a moment, clenching his jaw for a moment when silence crept back up on him. Maybe he should have woken Master Chen to deal with this, maybe she didn’t want someone who wasn’t even her family to come to her aid, maybe—
The door creaked open, making Clouse take a step back and look down toward the young girl. She held a strong face, but it was obvious she had been crying. Her room was a mess, obvious her power had gotten out of hand on account of the only element she had absorbed being Garmadon’s. Her blanket was in tatters, many of her hand sewn dolls halfway turned to ash, and her lamp broken on the ground. Clouse looked visibly panicked for a moment after seeing the sharp glass all over her floor, but quickly attempted to regain his composure. He swallowed and moved to put his cup down on the dresser just inside Skylor’s room, then kneeling down to get eye-level with her.
“What happened here?” He managed to ask after a moment, Skylor curling in on herself ever so slightly as if she were in trouble. Clouse paused before shaking his head, cautiously moving to put a hand on her shoulder. “You aren’t in trouble,” He carefully chose his words, “I just... Want to know what happened. I won’t tell your father if you don’t want me to.”
Skylor seemed to think for a moment, clenching and unclenching her tiny fists as she looked toward the floor. After a beat, she began to speak, almost like she was admitting to something she’d done wrong. “I had... A dream. That these mean... Monsters, in all black with these... These big white eyes, tried to hurt Fafa— and, and Lloyd, and— Uncle Gar, Aunt Ako, and— And you, and— I couldn’t stop them, I couldn’t—” She began to work herself up again, her face becoming flushed with fear and anger, tears brimming in her eyes, “I couldn’t do anything about it! I was—I couldn’t,” She sobbed, immediately reaching forward in an attempt to hug Clouse for comfort— Something he allowed, but was taken aback by.
It took him a moment to reciprocate the hug, looking dazed as if he was having trouble processing this information. He stayed silent for a moment as he pat the girl’s back, like he had seen Garmadon or Misako do with Lloyd whenever the toddler got upset about something. “... Well, those ‘mean monsters’, you called them,” Clouse said after a moment, tentatively picking up Skylor in his arms as he stood, “They can’t hurt you, or us. Your father would never let that happen. Your... Uncle, Garmadon, would see them turned to ash where they stood!” Clouse said matter-of-factly, then grimacing a bit to himself as he saw Skylor shrink back into herself again.
“But— But... That doesn’t mean it isn’t okay to be fearful about it happening. Nothing will ever come to harm us, nor you. You know that little slime ball you’ve acquainted yourself with would never let that happen.” Clouse offered a nod and the most reassuring look he could, Skylor sniffing and rubbing her nose on her sleeve as she nodded in understanding, despite his name-calling of The Overlord. “... Promise? You won’t let any monsters take you all away?” She looked up at him with questioning eyes, Clouse looking back at her before he tried to offer a reassuring smile. “I promise. Now, let’s try and get this room cleaned up before your father wakes up. Do you want to play ‘magic’?” Clouse hummed, resituating Skylor in his arms. Her eyes widened before she grinned and nodded, Clouse raising his free hand as a dark purple aura began to form within his palm. The broken lamp slowly began to piece itself back together on her bedside table, the pieces dancing in a line as they did so. They twirled and flipped back into place, Skylor giggling and singing an incomprehensible tune to herself quietly, Clouse tapping his foot along to the strange and random beat best he could.
Soon, the room was relatively back to normal— the ash being cleaned and Skylor being supplied with a new blanket. Clouse sat next to her bed as Skylor got resituated under the sheets, then giving him a bright smile as she got comfortable again— him giving her a small and polite smile back.
After tucking her in properly and turning out the candles, Clouse began to leave the room, stopped briefly by Skylor’s goodbye;
“Goodnight, Uncle Clouse!” She whisper-yelled to him, nearly stopping him in his tracks completely.
After a pause, Clouse replied, “Goodnight, Skylor.”
He shut the door behind him with a smile on his face.
