Pov LittleDino
We wake up early this morning and continue our walk to Mineville City. We're making great time, and eventually, we finally make it home. Diamond and ShadowCystal are heading back to their homes in the city, so Harumi and I are on our own. Harumi seems to be impressed with the city, for a place with a lack of the modern tech that she has in her realm our structures were incredible.
“Harumi, I’ve noticed it for a while now, and I am not going to push, but I just want you to know that this is a judgment-free space, and who you were doesn’t matter to me, it’s who you are now that matters.” I say.
“How do we get back to Ninjago?” Asks Harumi, completely avoiding my previous statement.
“Well, I was thinking we would go down to the city library and do some research on realm crossing.” I reply, disappointed.
“Okay, I guess.” Responds Harumi.

We're heading to the City Library and walk towards the section labelled Other Worldly. It was a small section about theoretical ideas of realms and how they all were connected, and how one might travel through the space between worlds. I find a section of theoretical recipes to make portals to other worlds, one seems to be the most legit. It was a recipe that combined dragon's breath with ender pearls to make Dragon Pearls, if thrown it opens a portal to another world. Based on what Harumi said about dragons having the power to travel across realms, this seemed to be the best idea. I show the chapter to Harumi and she agrees. The only problem was the ender dragon was killed long ago, of course; she could always be resurrected but that was a dangerous task. This is a big decision. I grab the book and walk back to the tower with Harumi, I send out invitations to Diamond, ShadowCystal, Cocody, Colber, Nico, and GlossyGem to attend a meeting with me and Harumi to discuss, the resurrection of the EnderDragon, but first I want to ask Harumi if this is something she thinks we should do.

Pov Harumi
LittleDino approaches me and I hope it wasn’t another attempt to ask more about myself.
“Harumi, I wanted to hear your thoughts on the plan?” Do you think resurrecting the dragon is a good idea?” Asks LittleDino.
“I’m … I’m not sure.” I say hesitantly, thinking of my experience with resurrecting ancient creatures.
“Well, didn’t you say dragons were nice in your realm? Maybe you could talk to it if that’s what’s bothering you?” Asks LittleDino.

“That’s not how dragons work in my realm, and let alone here.” I say, thinking how foolish that would be to try and talk to a dragon.
“Then why are you hesitant?”
“You’re proposing we mess with forces you don’t understand. From my experience that never worked out. No matter how good my intentions are.”
“What experiences?”

I look away from LittleDino, as I realize what I said. Taking an exasperated breath, I come to the conclusion there’s no way I’m getting out of this without answering. Especially if I want to prevent them from summoning a dragon that could destroy the world.
“Look, let’s just say in the past I resurrected an evil version of Lloyd's father and then regrettably resurrected the embodiment of darkness. So yeah, resurrecting isn’t exactly a good idea!” I say rambling and crossing my arms for emphasis.

LittleDino is just staring at me, wide-eyed. Probably wondering how the Princess of Ninjago was able to resurrect two people. After an uncomfortable moment of silence, I clear my throat, and that appears to snap him out of whatever trance he was in.
“Well, it’s not like we have any other options? I told you the dragon was killed a while ago.” Says LittleDino.
“Well, all we need is the dragon breath. Is it possible someone collected some before the dragon was killed?” I ask, trying to think of a safer option that won’t end in a near-death experience for me.
“Unlikely, even if someone collected it, the chances of them not using it by now are really slim. I guess, we can see if anyone has some, but if they don’t…”
“If they don’t, then we can summon the dragon. No sense in putting our lives at risk if we already have what we need.”

LittleDino agrees and was going to propose our suggestion at the meeting, and I’m hoping someone in Mineville City has dragon breath.


Pov P.I.X.A.L
While talking to Zane and Nya, I noticed Lloyd and strange visitors from another realm arrived at the Samurai-X cave. They request our help to determine Ronin's whereabouts. It was such a shame that he returned to a life of crime, but I guess it was to be expected. I have Mini-Pix work on something for our visitors. Gear and Weapons for them both, in hope they could assist in helping Lloyd capture Ronin. I start up a program which would search for the whereabouts of Ronin, and then went back to help Zane and Nya with their training.

Both Nya and Zane possess elemental powers with similar properties, not only am I assisting them in regaining control of their elements. I'm also staging experiments with them to see how their powers can work together. While Zane’s elemental powers originate from the dragons, Nya’s elemental powers originate from Wojira. Which is the reason I suspect her powers behave so differently and overlap the powers of creation. Not only can Nya control water, but she can also move ice and snow and communicates with ocean life.

Interestingly enough, even though their powers come from two different sources, they behave and respond in similar ways. They both are passed down the same way. Along with possessing the same response to vengestone and chronosteel. When lost, they seem to both always come back. I have yet to see two elemental masters merge with one's element before, like Nya did a little over a year ago. The alarm goes off, Ronin was located in Stiix. Just as Lloyd and the others about to be on their way, Mini-Pix comes out with the new gear for LittleDina and LittleDuck. She hands them their gear, and they’re on their way.

Pov LittleDuck
This new gear is awesome! LittleDina and I look amazing. Thank you, Mini-Pix. I love my new armor, and LittleDina has a cool Dagger. We boarded the bounty, and we're on our way to Stiix. A village built on water. I am excited to be on this adventure, especially with my best friend. There's no one else I’d rather be with. I still feel sorry for LittleDino. His best friend had always been LittleJess. The two of them were inseparable. Lloyd tells us we will arrive at Stiix late at night, and we'll need to sneak into Ronin’s place to take back the tea.

Fun fact: The pictures in this part of the story are a collab with LittleDino_2005 and myself. LittleDino_2005 made the background and I made the characters. There are multiple pictures that are a collab but not all. As we decided later on that it would be more consistent for us to do the art as a collab rather than two different art styles.
