Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu is an animated TV show based on a lego line with the same name. It’s a story about five ninjas Kai, Zane, Jay, Cole and Lloyd trying to save their world with elemental powers. It takes place in an large island called Ninjago. Ninjago is a place full of Japanese and Chinese culture and mythology. My story takes place after the shows third season finale when Ninjago was in chaos and the death of Zane made the ninjas go on their seperate ways. This story is centered around the youngest ninja Lloyd and his father Garmadon while they live in Garmadon’s secluded monastery near the ocean and mountains.
It was a beautiful morning, promising a warm and sunny day. Garmadon was on his morning walk. Deep in thought. He was worried about his son Lloyd. Lloyd had been down ever since the death of Zane few months ago. Hadn’t seen him smile. It wasn’t like Lloyd didn’t have a reason to be sad, but you can’t be always sad. Garmadon wanted to cheer him up a little. Then he saw it, a fishing rod laying on the ground. He remembered going fishing with Lloyd when he was just 6 years old, it was before he had… turned dark and left. What kind of father was he? Well things were better nowdays. Lloyd was an adult and sometimes he looked so old, but at the same time just so young. He could try, he knew Lloyd was awake by this time. Hurrying back to the monastery and taking some fishing equipment he made his way to Lloyd’s door and said ”Lloyd? I’m coming in” he opened the door as Lloyd said from his bed ”Hi dad” Garmadon raised the fishing rod and said cheerfully ” Want to go fishing? It’s going to be a beautiful day!” that perked Lloyd’s interest ”That would be cool, but dad aren’t you still busy with all the stuff” Lloyd said with little hope in his voice. It would be nice to spend some time with his father.”I’m sorry that I’ve been quite busy this week. But I’ve cancelled everything for today. You okay to leave in few hours ?” Garmadon asked. ”Sure!” Lloyd answered. Gramadon closed the door with a smile on his face, he had things to do before they left. First he went to inform his brother Wu that they were going to be out for the day. The few hours went in a hurry and soon they were leaving the monastery.
They had decided to go by foot (Garmadon had insisted) and had already travelled about an hour. And at last a beautiful stone beach came into view, stones with beautiful colors and waves gently crashing into them. ” Wow! I’ve never seen anything like this!” Lloyd said while admiring the beach. ”Let’s go over there” Garmadon said while pointing to the other end of the beach, there was a stone ledge which was perfect for fishing. They had been sitting and talking on ledge for some time both watching the beautiful ocean. Lloyd still hadn’t gotten any fish so he whined ” Dad, are you sure there’s any fish here… wait! How come you have got so many fish and I’ve got none, are you using magic or something?” Garmadon chuckled at this ”I have no need for magic, I only need to be calm and the fish will come to me. This is no normal beach, the fish can sense your inner turmoil. You need to focus on sound you hear, calm yoour thoughts… even for a moment” He closed his eyes with the air of finality. He felt Lloyd think it trough and calming little by little.
It didn’t take long before Lloyd was already saying ”I got a fish!” Garmadon smiled ”That means you’re starting to get calm… Here, have a cup of camomille tea” Garmadon suddenly had teacups and a pot in his hands.”How did you..? Forget it, what is it with yours and Wu’s fixation on tea. Always pulling cups and pot out of nowhere and drinking tea in the most suprising moments?” Lloyd said confused while taking the cup. They drank the tea peacefully. Lloyd noticed to his suprise that he wasn’t sad, he hadn’t even noticed . He understood what Wu had meant with his words few days ago ”If we prowl too long on what’s missing, we fail to see what can be gained”. He had to get the ninjas back together. ”Thanks dad” Lloyd whispered almost too quiet to hear. Garmadon smiled. This day was a success.
