《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.

To Become a Troll: A Monster Evolution Story
Thrust into the supernatural world of the deep forest, Paul finds himself in a situation where he could find himself prey to pretty much every other creature and animal around. If he's to survive, he must shed his weak form to grow stronger and survive. But the forest is full of creatures beyond human understanding, that act without the need for food or shelter and that seem to exist for the sole purpose of dragging humans to the bottom of a murky river. Is it really possible to kill such creatures when your only strength is physical prowess? --- A monster evolution story based on Swedish creature mythology. The focus will overwhelmingly be on the progression of the main character and his slow increase in strength. Although many of the creatures are based on Swedish creature mythology, I have taken creative liberties in order to ensure that evolution lines and the such are in line with the usual. The main thought I had when going into this is that I want to delay the "meeting a human" section as much as possible. My plan is to get him to endgame levels of strength before even sniffing the possibility of seeing a human. Whether I'm actually able to do this remains to be seen, but I'm holding my thumbs! Also, I'm aware that there are other troll evolution stories, but this is unrelated to them. They can do their stuff and I'll do mine, but this is in no way related to any of them. That said, hope you enjoy it!

Nova: Omega
Nova: Omega is the story of Hitori Seishin, a mercenary on the planet of Esper. He leads Omega team in the Nova Mercenary Academy, and is the son of the legendary warrior Maia Seishin, now deceased. He is in the final days of his education at the elite Academy, where at the last minute he’s assigned a new teammate, Elvira. She is a total novice, but her unique abilities make her a promising addition to his team. We join the pair on their journey, Hitori, fighting to prove he belongs amongst the ranks of warriors indisputably his better, and Elvira, struggling to adapt to a world where the trophy for second place is a tombstone. Meanwhile, ancient and powerful forces clash in the shadows, racing across the globe to secure powerful artifacts capable of upending the foundations of the world. New chapters released every MWF. Sorry for the random tiny chapters. I structured and uploaded this as a series of scenes, some of which just didn't need to be very long. I could probably attach the "sub-scenes" to previous chapters, but that'd only be covering it up, so I'm not sure its worth it. Anyway if you find them annoying, let me know, and I'll put some more thought into it. I did, at least, make a point of always posting at least a thousand words on any given day (after I noticed the problem), which hopefully mitigates the problem.
