《The Tale Of Lloyd Garmadon》10
Advertisement
"Hey, Lloyd," Kai began as he walked into the room he and Lloyd had shared for a week now. "So I know you don't want to be near your uncle, but, do you think maybe you could eat dinner with everyone, you'd only have to be in the same room as him, you don't even have to talk to him."
Lloyd looked up from the comic he'd been reading. "Do I have to?"
"No, you don't have to, but we're all kind of getting worried that you're, maybe not eating all that much..."
"Kai, the reason for that, would be I haven't have a stable source of food in like three years, of course I'm not eating much. My stomach can't hold that much." Lloyd shrugged. "You guys can't expect me to go from starving on the streets to eating an entire plate of food in one week."
".... So are you gonna eat with everyone or do I need to bring your food in here?"
"Fine, but if my uncle tries to talk to me, I'm gonna insult him."
"Works for me." Kai shrugged as Lloyd got up. The two headed to the dining room.
"Jay, I've told you a million times, we aren't immune to our elements!" Cole argued with Jay as Kai and Lloyd entered the dining room. "For example, you electrocuted yourself on accident, last week!"
Jay and Cole continued to argue as Lloyd and Kai sat down, at the opposite end of the table was Wu. Lloyd sat silently as the ninja talked to each other around him. This was a bad idea. I hate this. I want to leave. Thoughts flooded Lloyd's head as Zane placed a plate of food in front of the blond. "Lloyd?" I don't like it. "Lloyd, are you okay?" I want to go back to my bed. I want to be alone.

"Nephew?" Lloyd's head snapped up to look at Wu. "Are you alright?"
Be confident dumbass, act like you're fine. Remember what he did. What did he do? He wasn't the one who left me at Darkly's. That was mom. But he let her. He let her leave me there. He didn't care about me until I became a problem. "I'm fine." Lloyd mumbled as he grabbed a fork off the table and ate a little. Pathetic. Kai was about to speak, when the lights began to flicker, and wind blew open the windows. "What the-"
"Morro found the Bounty, Kai, get Lloyd out of here, now!" Wu shouted to Kai. "The rest of you, get ready to fight!"
"C'mon Lloyd." Kai spoke as he got up, before the wind pushed him into the wall.
"Kai!" Lloyd exclaimed before going to help Kai up.
"Could have sworn you said you didn't like me." Kai joked as he led Lloyd out of the dining room.
"And I could have sworn that you were going to make sure this ghost thing didn't find me!"
"That's fair." Kai muttered, before a shout came from the dining room. "C'mon, we're gonna hide you in the bathroom."
"Why?"
".... Ghosts can't touch water..."
"Okay, but-" Soon Lloyd was sitting in the shower, with the water on, still fully clothed. "Y'know, I don't know what I was expecting..."
Kai occasionally would poke his head out the bathroom door. "I think you're gonna be safe in here." Kai looked over at Lloyd. "I never realized how tiny you actually were."
"Heh?" Lloyd looked down, one of the shirts he'd borrowed from Jay was clinging to him, because y'know. Wet. "Oh yeah. That's why I usually wear massive clothes, like my hoodie? I learned to sew entirely to make it bigger so it wouldn't be skin tight. That and I like it when sleeves are too long and they flop when you swing your arms." Lloyd smiled a bit before the bathroom door was blown off its hinges. There, was Morro, the ghost looked to have been around Lloyd's age, no doubt the age he'd died at. At first the black haired ghost had had an angry face, but it turned to confusion when he spotted Lloyd, fully clothed sitting on the floor of the shower, with it on. "Hi." Lloyd shrugged, and waving a little.

"Wh... What're you doing?" Morro questioned.
"Kai said ghosts can't touch water, and then he told me to sit in the shower, and then he turned it on." Lloyd shrugged again, distracting Morro as Kai filled a cup with water. "I dunno."
"That is.... A weirdly effective solution." Morro mumbled just before Kai splashed him with the cup of water, getting rid of the ghost.
"Cool. It worked." Kai grinned.
"Well that was fun, but now I'm cold." Lloyd complained as he got up and turned off the sink.
"You'll dry." Lloyd looked Kai dead in the eye, and flicked water at him. "Hey!"
"You'll dry." Lloyd smirked.
"You're on Blondie!"
And so, they fought, with water. And then Kai got in trouble for making a mess in the bathroom, Lloyd yelled at Wu for getting mad at Kai, an argument began, and then Lloyd stormed off to wait until the Bounty landed so he could leave but then Wu tried to make it so they didn't hand for a week, so Lloyd nearly strangled his uncle, but in the end Nya landed the Bounty and Lloyd got to leave, so no one died.... Except Morro.

The Mortal Acts
The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns. It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out. This is my first serial, and please feel free to leave comments and feedback. For backstory, behind-the-scenes, and other fun stuff, come chat on my discord! Become a patron to read up to 20 chapters ahead here! Blurb: Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless. But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands. Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right. Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed. Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure.
