"Urg! Remind me again why we're carrying sensei in a... Horse carriage?!" Kai asked panting.
"Maybe it's... Oh man... Maybe it's a training exercise?" Cole said trying to catch his breath.
"Yes precisely! Maybe it's for teamwork! Everyone working together like this... will bring us closer as a team..." Zane said.
"Everyone? Hah! Yeah, uh, no! Morro's not even helping! He's using his weird wind stuff!" Jay shouted upwards.
Morro was high above the trees. Using his wind or keep him in the air.
"Sigh, I still can't find the right path. Maybe if I go lower then... Oh! Nope! I was just looking in the wrong direction. Haha."
Morro released the wind pressure a little and landed down in front of the four ninja.
"I found the way for the caves of despair." Morro said.
Kai turned to the others.
"Is that what we're looking for?" He asked.
When they reached their destination, the caves of despair, they stayed hidden.
"Samukai... He must be looking for the golden weapon." Sensei Wu remarked.
"Those are the guys that kidnapped my sister!" Kai whispered loudly.
sensei Wu gave the four ninja instructions.
"Remember. When you find the scythe of quakes, do not use it. Its power is-"
"Yeah, yeah sensei, can we just go?" Jay cut him off.
"Okay, guys be careful." Morro said.
"You are not coming with us Morro?" Zane asked.
"Nah. This is your mission. I've been on multiple before." Morro replied.
"And. I don't really favor that place." He said while looking away.
"Well then, we'll be off!" Cole said.
"Oh! One more thing. Even though this is a stealth mission, I'll be notifying you if the skeleton army is coming." Morro told them all.

"Are we going yet?" Kai groaned.
"You better get going or Kai will get impatient." Morro shoved them.
As soon as they left Morro sat at the edge of the Forrest by the clearing around the caves.
"Morro."
"Yes, sensei?"
"You will be waiting for their return, right?" Sensei Wu asked the wind ninja.
"Yes sensei." Morro bowed.
"Will you be looking for tea-"
Morro searched for his master, but he has already disappeared.
A few minutes later. He heard a faint "COOL!!"
Coming from the caves.
"Those idiots... What part of 'stealth mission' do they not get?" Morro crossed his arms then extended them, sending a gust of wind to the ninja.
-in the caves-
"Kai. You gotta learn to be part of our team!" Cole said.
"Whatever. If this gets me closer to saving my sister, then I'll gladly do it myself." Kai complained.
"Hey, look!" Jay pointed out.
The scythe of quakes was illuminated in the center of the cave.
"That's it! The first golden weapon of spinjitzu!" Zane said.
"Hahaha! That's so COOL!"
The last bit, "COOL!" Was echoed throughout the cave.
Suddenly, a gust of wind was blasted into their faces.
"Wind? All the way inside a cave?" Zane asked.
"That must have been Morro's warning." Kai said.
They all looked at Jay with a mean look.
Jay looked confused.
"Whaaaaaat??"
-time skip-
With the scythe of quakes in their possession, the four ninjas ran back to
Where Morro and Sensei Wu were.
"Was that not enjoyable? Zane asked very pleased.
"Haha! Yeah, why wouldn't it be?" Kai asked clenching the scythe.
"Uhh maybe that's why." Jay said coming to a stop.
Morro was standing in front of them with his arms crossed.

"You used it." He said with no expression.
Kai pulled the scythe out from the cloth on his back.
"Well yes we did, but it was the only-"
"YOU WHAT!!!???" Morro yelled blowing wind from around his feet. He looked at the ground and stepped back a bit.
"Sensei gave you explicit instructions to not use it!" Morro said pacing.
"What are we gonna tell sensei...? He's gonna get so mad...."
"Man, he's really going on." Jay said.
"Like you're any different." Cole mumbled.
-another time skip (lol)-
Morro was preparing to leave the rest of the journey to the others.
"You're leaving?" Zane asked.
"Oh yeah. Just heading back to the monastery. I'm leaving the rest to you.
After all, you guys are the chosen ones, not me." Morro answered.
"What? Are you serious?! You're the one with the cool powers! We'll be useless without you!" Cole said.
"That's exactly why. If you keep relying on me, you'll never get stronger!" Morro eyed the golden weapon.
"And, you'll get your own 'cool' powers soon enough." Morro said as he waved goodbye.
"What does he mean by that?" Cole asked.
"Uuummmm... I think we have bigger problems." Zane said.
"Oh no it's sensei..." Jay said.
"It was all Kai's fault!" Jay pointed at kai.
"What?! Hey!" Kai said.
Walking back Morro thought to himself. Maybe I should have stayed to keep them out of trouble....
NOPE! Nope, nope, nope! It was all their fault and not my responsibility.
"Ah jeez. I hope they're all right."

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
