The Resistance drives up to the Garbage Depot.
"What is this place?" Lloyd asks
"I call it, the rest of the Resistance" Skylor replies
They all get out of the truck.
Tox looks at Dareth "Just what are you supposed to be?"
"I'm Dareth, master of, uh...uh, Brown" he replies
"Brown?" Tox questions
"You'll witness my power" Dareth replies
Skylor groans.
"So, you Elemental Masters call this dump your home?" Dareth questions
"Nu-uh. Not dump. Depot" Karlof replies
"We've found it to be a perfect cover. It allows us to go wherever we want in the city while keeping an eye on things" Skylor explains
Lloyd smiles "Thank you, Skylor. You saved us, but—But how did you know where to find us? How did you know we were in trouble?"
"A little birdie told me" Skylor replies
Mistaké reveals herself "Hello again, young Garmadon"
"Mistaké?" Misako questions
"What are you doing here?" Nya asks
"I'm sure you have many questions about where your friends are. And I have answers" Mistaké replies then walks over to Aria "but first I believe the young Lord is having some problems with her powers"
"Oh you mean the whole, could be sucked out by Garmadon thing? Yeah" Aria crosses her arms
"Can you help her?" Lloyd asks
"of course" Mistaké tells him
"So how do I prevent my powers from getting sucked out by Garmadon?" Aria questions
"By getting rid of you fear" Mistaké replies "they say that those who don't face their past are doomed to repeat it"
"I'm not scared of my past" Aria says
"Perhaps, but we shall see" Mistaké walks into the hideout
The elemental masters all stand around as Mistaké prepares tea for Aria to drink.
"What about your past are you afraid of?" Lloyd asks

"I don't know" Aria looks away "I don't even remember most of my past"
Lloyd looks at her "You don't-"
"It is done" Mistaké walks over with the tea "Drink up young Lord"
Aria takes the tea and drinks it, she soon closes her eyes and drifts off to sleep.
"Is this what's supposed to happen?" Lloyd asks worried
"Yes" Mistaké answers "she will remain asleep until she faces her past, and remembers"
"Remembers what?" Lloyd asks
Mistaké looks at him "You"

"Ahhhhhh"
Everyone laughs.
"Ants!" Lloyd shouts running around
Aria covers her mouth as she laughs hardly with Brad. When everyone was getting ready for bed Lloyd had laid down to find fire ants in his bed waiting for him. He was getting bit pretty bad before he started running around.
"Lloyd calm down" Aria finally walks over to him "come on"
"It itches so bad" Lloyd whines
"I know I know" Aria holds in a laugh
Aria and Lloyd sat in the bathroom, Lloyd was itching the ant bites while Aria was filling the bath with hot water.
"Stop scratching" Aria hit his hand
"but it itches" Lloyd argues
"I don't care" Aria looks back at the bath
Brad walks into the bathroom.
"I can't believe you put fire ants in my bed" Lloyd glares at him
"Oh come on, it was funny" Brad says
"Yeah for us" Aria giggles
"It was not" Lloyd crosses his arms
"I did it to show you how it's like around here" Brad tells him "kids messing with each other is normal and if you're weak everyone will keep picking on you"
"First day I came here the boys picked on me all the time" Aria says turning off the water
Lloyd, still in his clothes, sits in the bath. The warm water helped sooth his itches.

"But she's scary, she put everyone in their place almost immediately" Brad shivers remembering
"Yeah that sounds like my Aria" Lloyd says before scratching his head "I feel like their's ants in my hair"
Aria hands him shampoo "then wash it"
Lloyd takes the shampoo and starts washing his hair. Brad covered his mouth and Aria hid a laugh as green suds formed in his hair, not normal shampoo.
"What?" Lloyd asks
"nothing nothing" Brad shakes his head
Lloyd shrugs and washes his hair, after he gets out Aria helps dry his hair. Brad was trying not to laugh the entire time.
"Seriously what?" Lloyd asks
Brad just started laughing and pointed to the mirror. Aria turns around and whistles as Lloyd looks into the mirror, his once blonde hair was not green.
"Ahhhhhh!" Lloyd shouts and looks at the two "Aria!"
"How'd you know it was me?" Aria laughs
"Oh come on" Lloyd whines "It'll take months for this to go away"
"hahaha" Aria laughs before ruffling his hair "sorry greenie"

Unliving
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon, November 2021] For the longest time, Aideen Fiachna had only one prescient wish; to be the daughter her parents could take pride in. The idea was a tall order, especially as her father stood at the head of the Templar order, and her grandfather as the Pope. However, she endeavored to try nonetheless. Yet fate had a different path in store for her. For all her efforts, all her best laid plans, were but the broken off crumbs of 'one day'. That day, she was brutally slain by a vile, accursed undead being. Though, not even restful eternity awaited her in death. She awakened inside a coffin. Her coffin. During her own funeral wake. Discovering, to her horror, that she had risen. Not somehow resurrected, no, but back in the form of that most hated of beings--the curse of undeath. What will fate deal her next? Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. --------------------------------------- Expect: -Character progression in a journey of self discovery that spanned the ages -World building -Tragedy and Comedy in roughly equal measures -Occasional action Do not expect: -Much in terms of romance -Politics, barring passing views and mentions -A lighthearted tale. This story will be a good bit grimmer than my previous one Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated. And thank you for reading. --------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This story is my original work and only posted on the Royal Road website. If you should find this story elsewhere or under another name, please let me know. Also please don't be too hard on me when I make occasional grammatical mistakes, English is my third language after all. XD Edit suggestions are very welcome though.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
