#purple dragon jungle juice

[isdalinarhot]

Twok is a great book because Dalinar is living in a YA romance novel, Elhokar is living in a shitty 50s horror movie, Navani is living in a milf porn reel, Adolin is living in a sad movie about putting your aging father in a nursing home, and Sadeas is living in a nature documentary about the mating habits of praying mantises where he is the female praying mantis and Dalinar is the male praying mantis

Forge your own dragon world; chapter 1: Story sparks

I'm going to be filling out this book via these posts.

#1 write down at least five things you did this week;

1. Sleep 2. Eat 3. Roleplay 4. Go shopping (got book #8) 5.read wof

#2 WHAT? Pick a conflict

The main conflict is eggs going missing. Mostly nightwing and Icewing eggs theirs also dragons being kidnapped. Although this group seems to be targeting purebreds rather than hybrids.

#3 WHO? Create a character

Name: Aquarius

Age: 5

Pronouns: she/her

Tribe: seawing/nightwing

Size: sleeker than a typical bulky seawing build and smaller than typical seawings/nightwings

Scale colouring: dark rich purple with brighter purple horns and glowing scales. She has pale pink wings and webs with mix of white and black speckled scales on her wings.

Powers: #2 animus magic and mindreading and prophecies

Home: a cave system going all throughout the underneath of small island.

Family/freinds: her family consists of an adult skywing named Amber, adult seawing called Kelp, old nightwing called Jaggedspine and a sickly Icewing called Frostmind. She was raised with and helped raise five, three year old dragonites a mudwing called Hippo, nightwing called Silvernip, sandwing called Dune, skywing called Solar and an icewing called Snowberry.

Personality; loud and adventurous, Aquarius would love nothing more than to travel and see the bigger world out there.

#4 WHERE? Build a world

Continent name: pyronaite

Environments: two deserts, jungle, icey island south from the mainland, rocky mountains, a few environments

Residents: Icewings, skywings, mudwings, rainwings, sandwings, seawings, nightwings

Magic: icewings) frostbreath, frostscales *freezes everything they touch* skywings) hottest fire breath, firescales *burns everything they touch* mudwings) fireproof scales blood red eggs have lava proof scales and can handle firescales *firescales firebreath can still injure them* rainwings) invisibility and deadly teeth juice sandwings) sand proof scales and a venomous tail bard seawings) breath underwater and bioluminescent scales and nightwings) mindreading and prophecies

History; Icewings and Nightwings have a long history of mistrust and mini wars leading to a cold war/peace where the nightwings have a small town near the icewings and vice versa.

Sandwings and icewings have a long complicated history of alliances.

Skywings and icewings have a new war over an icewing princess being killed by a banished skywing

Seawings are the most antisocial tribe occasionally seen interacting with icewings and rainwings

Rainwings seem happy to keep to themselves but have trading history with sandwings, skywings and nightwings

#5 Write your own prophecy:

Find the coldest of Sky and hottest of Ice.

Find the quietest of nights, the largest of sands and thickest of mud.

Only when brought together under brightest night will the truth unfold.

#6 Escape a tricky situation

1) escaping the cave system their in with a frostscale and firescale 2 year olds.

2) escape being hunted down by their guardians and finding a safe place to hide.

3) trying to figure out the prophecy and when the next full three moons is happening

4) finding out the truth of where the eggs are going

#7 set out on a quest. What could your dragons be trying to find?

A safe place to hide from their guardians while waiting for the brightest night.

#8 storystarter: I'm going to skip this since I don't feel like writing m an actual story right now.

[isdalinarhot]

my favorite texts from past dates that went nowhere tgat ive gotten over the last few months are all the people who went "hi. i still dont think we have chemistry. not trying to slide into your dms to start something up. but im doing my stormlight reread in prep for wind and truth and youre so right about sadeas and dalinar they really are gay divorced". like yesssssss i impacted your life in the way that matters

[blackthornass]

leaking my drinking playlist idk if anyone will actually listen to this because its not much of a playlsit that one shares with others but it runs the gamut of songs from "i am drinking alone and very sad" to "i am PARTYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!" so theres something for everybody. idk i think it will take the spot that my sadalinar playlist took last spotify wrapped where its like every song on here is on your spotiffy wrapped and this is your most listened to playlist i hope youre happy!!!! which like. im not happy . but whatever i do the best i can its just my best is not very good

Raihan x Journalist! Reader PT. 4

The plane ride to Alola was not a peaceful one... your mind was mess, everything about this situation was confusing to you, Let's rewind shall we? Dragon man has secret girlfriend, you sneak around and find out! Dragon finds out you've been following him and strikes a deal, get a picture of said girlfriend and he'll give you an interview, you take deal, Dragon man starts calling and texting you...a lot.

You and and dragon man get closer... Dragon man wants to meet, You say no, Dragon man gets upset and weird about your assistant and now won't answer your calls! And to make matters worst, you're slowly figuring out that you may be starting to feel things for The Dragon man that you shouldn't be feeling, and the guilt was tearing you apart.

"/n...Miss Y/n? We've landed." Rhett's voice snapped you out of your daze. "What?" you looked at Rhett then noticed the other passengers were getting out of their seats, "Sorry...My mind's still back in Galar." you got out of your seat grabbed your bags and got off the plane, the week wasn't moving fast enough for you, as all you and Rhett did was take some photos and interviewed a few locals and island captains about Alola, it's wonders and traditions to discover, hopefully some of your readers will consider taking a holiday to the tropics after the article was published.

On your last two days you decided to see if you could catch a few Pokémon, and got lucky! You caught a Drampa, Tropius and a Totodile! you were a little upset when you found out that Tropius and Totodile weren't actually dragon types, however they knew dragon pulse (Tropius) and dragon claw (Totodile) that was apparently rare for them to learn, so on your team they stayed! that and it might give you an advantage. You've seen enough battles to know you won't go far just having one type of Pokémon on your team...

On you last day in Alola Raihan decided to grace you with his presence via text. "Are you there? call me." you cocked a brow debating if you should call him, especially since it was like 3 am in Galar right now, after a few minutes of arguing with your inner thoughts you relented and a hit Drago-boy on your contacts he picked up after two rings.

"Hey..."  

"Hey yourself."

"Listen the other day... I'm sorry, I just... you leaving, it caught me off guard is all! I wasn't expect you go away and with a ..guy."

"...Don't worry about it, besides Rhett's boyfriend would have my head if I ever thought of taking his man away." You heard a gurgling noise and figured out Raihan was drinking and just choked. "b-Boyfriend?... s-So you two aren't." he stammered as you couldn't contain your laughter. "Oh no! no ho-ho..no!" The very thought of you and Rhett, it was so far out of left field! "That's great.." the gym said sounding relieved you stopped laughing wondering if you misheard Raihan just now?

"What did you say?"

"I... was taking about the juice I spat all over my pants."  You're brows furrowed maybe you had misunderstood his tone? again it was like 3 am back home he's probably tired. "So, what's it's like over there, what kind of Pokémon are there?" You told him how it was very sunny described the nice beaches, meadows and the lush jungles, and the nights were absolutely gorgeous, you described the purple Meowths, the snow white Vulpix and the psychic Raichu that surfs around in the air on it's tail, and told him about the ride Pokémon, while you were in the middle of describing these things called Z-moves, you heard soft breathing coming from Raihan's end, did he fall asleep?

"Rai, you there?" you heard him snore and snickered. "You could've waited another three hours to call me y'know." You hummed before telling Raihan's Rotomphone to hang up for him, before going back to what you were doing before Raihan called, gift shopping! You were looking some black twine bracelets that were made with onyx beads and faux Z-crystals.

You looked over the selections before finding one with Dragonium-Z and purchasing it, you were all happy and proud until you realized now you had to figure out how in the hell were you going to give it to Raihan? you couldn't send it to him as Raihan had told you that he always sends any expensive gifts, he received (jewelry, watches, clothes, electronics, etc.) from fans back to them, with a letter explaining to them why he doesn't except those sort of gifts... then you remembered Riot can fly!

The next night you were back in Galar, Rhett and his boyfriend let you crash on their couch as Jet lag had you knocked out for a few hours, you slept like a log until noon, then you woke up you borrowed their shower and had a quick breakfast before vacating their love-nest. They were waiting for you leave, so they could have some alone time together, Rhett told you the pictures will be done in three days while you sent a draft of your Alola review to your editor, hopefully this sate their apatite until you get that interview with Raihan...

Speaking of which after some careful thinking, You decided maybe having Riot deliver the bracelet was bad idea... It was so easy for Raihan to distract him with food... and what if some stranger did that? all that effort would be for nothing! You stopped by a Pokémart to get a drink when you someone bumped into you nearly knocking you over, luckily they grabbed your arm before steadying you back on your feet.

"Oops, sorry!" you were gonna say it was fine until you looked up and felt your throat go dry and your jaw dropped a little, when you saw the person who bumped into you it was Ex-Champion and currant league board chairman Leon Dande, you must've looked like you were gonna pass out, throw up or something cause Leon kept his hand on your arm just in case. "Are you alright?" he asked concerned as you snapped out of your shock. "I'm fine just surprised, I didn't expect run into you...sir?" your face felt hot when you heard your voice crack.

Leon chuckled "Just Leon is fine, I'm still young y'know!" You smiled nervously cleared you throat and apologized. "S-so what's brings the current chairman to Hammerlock?" You say suddenly switching into semi-journalist mode to try and calm your nerves, now it was Leon's turn to be awkward. "I was head over to the gym and kind of got turned around." You looked at Leon eyes wide as a Hoothoot's! Wow...like you heard about Leon's garbage sense of direction, but to witness it first hand? You had no words! "I... was heading that way, I can take you there if want?" The lavender haired man looked apprehensive about the idea. 

You couldn't blame him, If strange lady you just met offers to take you Arceus knows where you'd be wary too, he probably thinks your one of those creepy fangirl's Raihan mentioned to you. "Look I won't try anything on ya lad, you can trust me." You assured him after few moments Leon nodded and the two of you went on your way, the walk was kind of awkward and silent at first before Leon broke the silence eyeing your Pokéballs curiously you've almost got a full team, so of course he's curious, he asked about your team what types they were and what not. "I train mostly dragon types, though I have a Totodile and Tropius." upon hearing you were dragon trainer Leon assumed you were a new hire at the gym

"I don't think I've seen you around, have you just started at the gym?

"Oh, I'm not a trainer I'm a journalist."

"A journalist?  huh... since when does Rai..." suddenly Leon got a weird look on his face as he looked you up and down taking in every detail, and creeping you out in the process. "S-say you wouldn't happen to have a Noibat would you?" you awkwardly let Riot out of his ball, Leon's eyes got wider seeing the little dragon land on your head and eye him curiously. "and...a-and his nickname?" the former champ stammered looking he was gonna faint. "um...Riot?" you said timidly as Leon was literally shaking in his boots.

"Holy crap....hahhah! h-holy crap! It's you!"

Leon said laughing he was practically jumping with excitement. "i-it's me?" You say shrinking back unsure of what was happening, Riot sensed your distress and growled at Leon for scaring you. "Yeah You! the Siren Raihan keeps jabbering on about!" Leon seemed to be in a state of both shock and relief, "Raihan talks about me?" you say surprised, Leon was still snickering. "You have no bloody idea lass!" he said wiping his teary eyes. "Heh, Ho~ he's gonna so jealous when I show up with you!" Suddenly the thought of meeting Raihan up close and in real life made you go cold... it was like all the confidence you build up was stomped out by a rampaging Mudsdale.

You had planned originally to pretend to be a courier and say Raihan had ordered the bracelet and just leave it with the secretary, then text him to come get it and be done with it, but now... You stopped and looked up, you and Leon were standing in front the Hammerlock gym you suddenly felt really hot and needed to get away! but first. "H-hey hold up!" Leon looked back at you bemused as you reached into your pack and took the bracelet box out. "I just remembered I have a appointment... um, would you give this to Raihan!, and here if you ever wanna talk." You gave Leon the gift along with your business card and ran, you herd him call out but you ignored him.

Leon was left flabbergasted by you're sudden exit, he looked down at the box then the direction you ran in unsure what to do, then wondered just how exactly you and Raihan became acquainted? Sure, Raihan said he had a bet going on with you, but he never said what the bet was about... Leon frowned as he entered the gym and found his way to the pitch where Raihan was waiting scrolling through his phone, the dragon hadn't even noticed his rival had arrived until he briefly glanced up then did a double take, Raihan put his phone away.

"Huh, you're actually on time, what did you finally figure out that GPS app?" Raihan asked clearly astounded as usually he has to wait up to an hour before Leon finally finds his way to the gym or has a taxi bring him. "Um, no someone helped me." Leon the dragon tamer cocked a brow. "oh who?" Leon held the box out to him. "The woman who said to give you this." Raihan blinked bemused opened the box he frowned and tried to give the box back. "Y'know I don't except these kinds of things from fans." Leon cut him off.

"It's not from a fan..." Raihan was bemused before spying the Siren's web business card Leon was holding, suddenly Raihan's usually confident attitude was replace with the bashfulness of a schoolboy as his cheeks had darkened and his knees were shaking, he stammered some incoherent gibberish and made a move to go outside to and find you, but Leon blocked his way. "She's already gone mate..." The dragon tamer looked like a deerling in the headlights.

 "I-...what was she like?" Leon blinked he's never seen Raihan act like this before, it reminded him of Hop when ever he's around Gloria!  "Well, she's very honest and helpful..." Raihan gave him a look, oh! he meant what were you like appearance wise.... Leon described you from your height, your weight, hair/eye color and even right down to what you were wearing, He looked at Raihan who was admiring the bracelet you bough him, the dragon tamer was happy cos now he knew what to look for if you ever wander into Hammerlock again.

Meanwhile you were in the wild area setting up a campsite you were miserable, confused and angry at yourself, stupid bet, Stupid Raihan, stupid you for having these feelings... you sniffled wiping your eyes for the umpteenth time as you set up your tent, your Pokémon were concerned about you, Drampa came up and nuzzled you "pa..." he cooed as angry tears flowed down your cheeks, you want to scream this wasn't fair! You shouldn't be feeling this way for a man you can't have.

You broke down in sobs and hugged Drampa who nuzzled you more as the rest of your team clambered over and started cuddling you. Now you felt worse were worrying your team, Tropius used Aroma therapy a pleasant calming scent surrounded you after what seemed like hours you had finally calmed down and assured the Pokémon you were fine and thanked Tropius and Drampa and apologized to the others, and finished setting up camp.

[jay-cult]

Crying Over Coconuts

Seabound aftermath. Jay is sad. Zippy is an adorable puppy. ~3k. All you need to know.

Things had been silent back at the monastery, which had only started feeling emptier as a new sun rose the morning after the ceremony. It was clear time wasn't going to heal this wound for anyone. Jay had to move about. Every minute he had itched to do something, to walk through a door or around the monastery walls. Because if he didn't, he would have felt awful just sitting around depressed in the plaster cage that was his room. But maybe he had deserved to lay around feeling awful. Maybe he should have just let his bad thoughts reclaim him. But of course, he had been selfish.

And so, that day, he felt the need to just go somewhere. Wherever his legs would take him, his mind would follow. He strode out the monastery. Nobody said anything to him. They just let him walk out without saying a word. At some point, through some combination of acquiring the fixed up sub speeder and making his way to the docks, he found himself speeding through the sea. He didn't even know why he had decided to use that thing. He hated being in there.

Once he got far enough, Jay had a difficult time trying to navigate. His long, skinny fingers handled the controls on some sort of autopilot to an unknown place. He couldn’t concentrate. Instead, he stared at the sea around him, getting lost in its infinite depths. His 5-foot-6, bone-dominated body laid nicely in the cushioned seat, and it made Jay suddenly wish that he could feel numb. Due to the mechanic team’s efforts, the chair was comfortable, luxurious, even. He felt bad for feeling. He didn’t want to feel. Jay let out a shaky sigh; if only he couldn’t think.

Suddenly, the sea began to rush in harsh currents around him. Loud BOOMS from the sky echoed through the water, and bright purple flashes of light blinked in his vision every few seconds. It appeared his subconscious had taken him to the storm belt- now he knew where he was going. “Ah crap-!” He returned to his senses when a chunk of stone crashed into the waves beside him. He gripped hard back onto his controls, and the fast pace of the fearful moment allowed him to focus on twisting around the dangerous zones. And eventually, finally, he rounded the corner of a wave and his sub splashed out of the storm-protected part of the shore.

Jay’s panicked breathing slowed as he looked out at the familiar calm view of the island of the keepers. He began his course along the coastline, making his way towards the keepers’ village. He now realized just what he wanted, and why he was here.

The sub’s metal body broke the water’s surface as it arrived at the keepers’ dock. Numerous guards rushed up to do their check of the visitor. The boy’s head appeared as the hood creaked open, smiling nervously. He glanced from spear-wielding keeper to keeper. “Hey! Hey, look who’s come to visit! It’s me, Gift of Jay!” He gestured exaggeratingly to himself, grinning.

They lowered their spears and let Jay hop onto the wet wood of the dock. They looked at each other with hesitance in their eyes. One of them stepped forward. “Poultik is not here. He went out with a party of keepers on a sailing voyage to search for the lost storm amulet.”

“Oh, the two-headed guy who really likes me isn’t… here?” His expression started to fall.

“Few days, maybe,” the keeper replied. “But, urhm, we can help you, Gift of Jay! What brings you here?”

Jay smiled a bit, but then his face fell again. “Oh, well, I guess I’m here to bring some news,” he answered, realizing in the moment that they should probably know what happened. They started to look excited, but Jay shook his head. “No, no, bad news. Er, last you heard… The amulet in Shintaro was fake, and Ninjago City was going to be attacked. Well, it was attacked. There were a lot of civilian casualties. I would know, I almost drowned like the rest of them.”

The keepers’ expressions turned into frowns. “Oh, no,” the speaker stepped forward. “Is Ninjago City alright?”

Jay’s heart started feeling cold. “It is alright. We were safe. But we wouldn’t have been… and I wouldn’t be alive… if it wasn’t for Nya. She… she made a sacrifice. She’s gone.”

There was silence among the group, and the only thing that could be heard was the crash of the sea and the cry of a single gull above it. The keeper spoke up again. “Oh… she was your Yang, was she not?”

“Yeah,” Jay choked out simply.

The speaking keeper ordered a guard to bring the information to Chief Mammatus and told the rest to continue on with their duties. He bowed to Jay. “Well, Gift of Jay, if there is anything else you may need, call for Sungker. For now you may rest in the Gift Room until you need anything.”

“Thanks, Sungker.” The boy in blue reached up to give him a pat on the shoulder, and unexpectedly felt a little welcoming static from his skin.

-

After a ride on the pulley-operated platforms that he felt bad for enjoying, Jay sat on a stiff chair in the room. He had taken a platter filled with exotic foods and drinks and was completely stuffing his face, and as he was doing so, tears fell in dozens down his face. He couldn’t stand himself. Here he had come, selfishly wishing to be treated like a king, and his faithful servant(s?) wasn’t even here to pamper the great gift. And now he was sad about it, and he hated himself for it.

What was he going to do now? How else was he going to make his mind feel numb from pain, so the only thing he felt was uplifted, praised, happy? The League of Jay wasn’t necessarily an option, since they were caught up in their own damages from the city’s fall. Where else could he possibly go- to Murtessa and the Munce? He cringed at the thought. Though he knew he would be treated like royalty among their people, he couldn’t possibly betray Nya by basking in the attention of another woman who liked him. That would be pure cruelty; slander to her name and to their relationship. He chucked a half-eaten fruit at the floor aggressively, and its juice stained the wood. It rolled sadly into a crack.

Jay caught his reflection in the platter and stared at it angrily. His tear-worn face snarled back at him without hesitation, all emotions having been let loose. He stood up and set the platter down gently on the chair. He sniffed and dragged his knuckles across his freckled nose, now a menacing red. “I need to go for a walk,” he expressed shakily.

The inside of the room had been lit with electric lamps after the sky had gone dark. Jay left them going as he made his way to the door and slowly pulled it open. But instead of the view of the jungle he had expected to see from the deck, he was looking into the slitted eyes of a very sweaty beast. Its body pulsed back and forth with a pant, and its light green scales shimmered menacingly in the moonlight. In its huge mouth was a gently gripped, large, brown coconut.

“Oh, Zippy! The hell are you-?” The dragon nudged his snout into Jay's torso, pushing him back with the force. Zippy dropped the slimy fruit on the ground beside him and bowed like a dog.

Jay’s gloved hands picked up the nasty ball. “Not really the time for this right now, bud,” he said with a soft smile, giving Zippy a few pats on the head with the other hand. He reeled back his arm and then sent the coconut flying past their heads and over the railing, leaving bits of slobber behind from the velocity. Jay wiped his hand on his gi as he walked on the deck and around the corner, but once again came face-to-face with the reptile.

“I mean, what did I expect?” Jay sighed, comforted by the presence of the good-hearted creature. He was presented with the coconut once more, and acquired it in his arm before giving Zippy a good scratch under the jaw. This nearly sent the dragon crashing over the rail by the sheer force of his dropping and rolling from the pleasure of the scratching.

The slobber-stained ninja shook his head in amusement after a small bout of startled shock. “Maybe we should play somewhere a little safer, buddy,” he suggested.

Zippy followed Jay like he had a whole cooked chicken. Eventually, Jay was far enough from the village to feel safe from destroying it and, most importantly, to feel alone. He settled himself on a formation that jutted up above the trees, with a singular light blue flower growing on its ledge. He stood so that it was shielded by his legs, as if he were keeping it safe from Zippy’s reckless ruckus. From here he could clearly see the island’s unique sky. The violent storm twisted in a ring around the island’s shores, but in the middle it parted to reveal a sphere of the clear night. Though the stars were pretty, it was the moon that gave the world light, cut into a neat half and half- ironically called a quarter moon. One side light, one side dark as a sea trench.

Jay gave the fruit a good chuck into the trees below, and Zippy rather ungracefully dove into the jungle to give chase. He realized how good it felt to throw something with such great force at the moment. Jay gazed a bit at the hands that had done it all, from the throwing to the fighting. They were settled in flexible gloves cut at the fingers, which had not been washed for days; gloves which had usually gotten such good care when possible.

Zippy returned back with the coconut in due time. “You know,” Jay said, patting Zippy’s nose, “I always wondered why they called it a coconut when botanically, it’s a fruit.”

The dragon tilted his head, confused at the boy’s matter-of-fact tone. But soon enough he forgot and began spinning in circles, begging for the sacred fruit-fetching ritual to continue to take place.

Jay threw again, laughing at his antics. He envied how simply the creature perceived things, with a brain and heart so, well, simple. It must have been easy living simply. All you needed to do was munch the plentiful fruit of the isle, amuse yourself with a ball, and make friends with everyone you came across.

When Zippy returned from a few more tosses, Jay put his hands on his knees, starting to really breathe a bit. “I think that’s enough for me for now,” he said. The beast gave him big puppy eyes, noticing the tire in his tone, but Jay did not relent. He turned to head back to the village, but the dragon settled into the ground quickly in a curve that blocked him. Zippy shifted his head into his claws, seemingly happy to take a break himself.

“Well, I guess I could stay a little while,” Jay decided, plopping himself into a safe spot against the dragon’s body. His thin legs still surrounded the patch of grass that the flower was growing from. He guessed he developed some sort of attachment to the little thing.

The ninja suddenly heard a deep resounding crack beside him, and the grunts of a confused Zippy. “Huh?” He twisted over to see what was happening, and within seconds, he understood. The dragon snorted and began shaking his head and spitting, sending sticky bits of fruit flying from left to right. Zippy hadn’t been paying attention to the pressure he was putting on the coconut while he was resting, and his powerful jaw had crushed the thing to smithereens.

“No, Zippy! But the coconut! It was yours… it’s all gone now!” For reasons inexplicable to him, Jay’s face started suddenly scrunching again, ugly wetness trickling endlessly from his eyes. “Now what are we gonna do? I-” he sniffed- “you broke it!”

Zippy pressed his head against Jay’s side gently, not forcefully careless like before. The dragon sighed slowly, a peaceful sound reminiscent of a comforting whisper. Jay grabbed onto the sides of his face and pressed himself against his forehead, tears seeping into his scaly skin. The boy erupted into full out sobs, letting himself go in the openness of the wild jungle. And nobody saw him except for that simple creature.

After a hefty fifteen minutes, Zippy must have sensed a steady increase of calming from Jay’s crying, and removed his head from against him. He gave Jay a sloppy couple of licks across his face, possibly hoping to make him cleaner.

“I’m- I’m really sorry, boy,” Jay forced out between decreasing sniffs. He placed his hand gently on Zippy’s chin. “I-I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I mean, yeah, I’m going through some stuff, b-but… a coconut?”

The dragon gently pushed the boy onto the ground, and curled himself neatly up around him and the flower. He gave Jay an understanding look, no judgement in his gaze. Just sympathy. His tail flicked gently in the grass, making a nice brushing sound. After being seated, Jay rested one of his hands on Zippy’s nose and rustled the other into a pocket in his gi. He slid out his shiny half of his charm, his Yin promise, and turned it slowly in his hand. He watched the moonlight glint on its surface and flicker at the edges as he moved it.

“I just want her back,” he lamented softly.

The creature raised his scale-touched nose and sniffed the metal charm with his big nostrils. His curious eyes crossed to give it a good look.

“Yeah, I know, it looks like just a thing,” Jay said, “but I tell ya, it’s special. I helped make it. It’s really important…” he started to bittersweetly tell the story of how their Yin-Yang charms were made, and the entire crisis that was the proposal. “I know, I know, on the edge of a battle, right? But I thought I wouldn’t’ve gotten any other chance! Besides, it was cool. Suspenseful. It was like we were in a love story.”

He fell silent again for a moment, listening only to the hum of jungle bugs. He sighed again. “I guess the best love stories do always end in tragedy.”

Zippy let out a sympathetic moan, comforting Jay’s emotional state. Jay shifted his gaze back to the clouds above the sea. “I’m always gonna hold up my end of the promise, though. No matter what. I’m never gonna give up on her, Zippy. Even if things don’t ever go back.”

The dragon grunted his approval.

“Still, though. I just can’t help it. I’m always staring at the water, with super unreasonable expectations. And then I get so hopeful, and then I get let down, until I’m staring hopelessly into a pool of my own tears.” He dug his face into his knees. “It’s abysmal. I’m sorry. You’re the only pers- er, thing- I’ve talked about it with, really.”

Zippy tilted his head affectionately, and tried to nudge Jay’s out of his knees. His eye poked out from above his daily gi’s pants, shining with emotion. “Well, I guess Maya caught me crying once, but that doesn’t count.”

The dragon’s own eyes started to gain a shine, and he shook his head, blinking erratically.

Jay took his body out of its hiding position, wrapping his arms around Zippy’s face to stop his shaking. “It’s okay to cry, boy,” he soothed, and the two cried together into the night until reality faded and they were both asleep beside a perfectly intact, dew-covered flower.

-

Morning rolled around and Jay said his lighthearted goodbyes to the keepers without eating breakfast. He stood at the edge of their dock, shaking hands with Sungker as a parting exchange.

“Thanks for being so nice, Sungker. I’ll see you again soon.”

Sungker looked to his sides bashfully. “Yes, yes, of course, Gift of Jay. Perhaps next time Poultik will be here to provide more assistance?”

Jay shrugged. “I’d like to see him, but maybe next time he and I can do something a bit more… two-sided, as friends.”

He gave an approving “hmph” to the departing visitor, and waved him off as he climbed back into his sub speeder.

As Jay sped gracefully through the aggressive waves, he came to the realization that he had been needing. Somehow, it wasn’t praise or luxury that had made him forget his sorrow. In fact, it was quite the opposite, a nature-bound therapy session with a gross but loving creature, which had made him feel a lot better.

As Ninjago City rose in the distance, he remembered one more thing.

“Whoops. Forgot to tell them their amulet broke.”
