[Name] [Last Name] is the elemental master of the moon. A gift she inherited from her father. A gift? Wait, let's change that. It could be considered as a curse too. Maybe? There are good sides and bad sides.
The good sides of her elemental power; [Name] is stronger underneath the moon and can create moon shaped weapons. Her pupils are now crescents after unlocking her true potential which she finds pretty cool. She can also control dreams. Not just hers, anyones. She has an accidental habit of dreamwalking but she is trying to control it. The last time she did it, she walked into a dream of one of the popular kid’s sex dreams. It was not fun. At all.
Sometimes, when she closes her eyes, she can still see it.
Anyways, the downsides of being the elemental master of the moon. [Name] cannot be in the sun for long. It drains her tremendously and she faints. Dreamwalking for too long makes her nose bleed and she can not dream for a while. Oh, one of the major things too is that it is a struggle for her to sleep for herself. But her daily naps do help her. And she mostly has evening classes at university so she can sleep in the morning, train and go to university in the afternoon and evening, whilst also doing patrol around New Ninjago City.
So, it is not all bad. [Name] has helped a lot of people with her elemental power. And most would assume that. But, her father is dead. So who knows truly?

It is the rare occasion where [Name] is awake in the morning. Very very rare. She yawns, covering her mouth as she walks through the monastery. The monks walk past her, [Name] bowing her head out of respect. Dedicating your whole life to the teaching of the first spinjitzu master is so insane. She would never do something like that. It is practically insane. And takes a lot of hard work.
"Hey!" [Name] turns, seeing Cole jogging over to her. "I didn’t think you’d be awake,"
"Yeah…" [Name] whispers. She stretches, slowing her walk so that it can match up with Cole’s. "Me neither. How was your sleep? Did you dream about Nic?"
Cole scrunches his face up, turning it away from the elemental master as [Name] laughs. So that is a yes. Nicholas Ramiez is Cole’s crush. It’s a huge crush. A massive one. Could be love but Cole would never admit that.
"I would actually," [Name] tells him, cracking her fingers. "I did not do any dreamwalking so I do not know anything,"
"No dreamwalking?" Cole repeats, rubbing his chin. "At all? Damn [Nickname]. How do you feel?"
"Annoyed because you’re avoiding the subject,"
"Damn," Cole whispers. "Nothing ever gets past you, Mune," Mune. The nickname she got. It was also her father’s nickname.
"Not in any realm," [Name] smiles. "So, did you?"
"Yeah," Cole mutters, rolling his eyes. "It uh-was just a date dream. Nothing really happened," This is a lie. It was a sex dream.
Ninja are really good at lying, they have to be with the job they have. But it is possible for them to slip up. Cole just slipped up.
"Oh?" [Name] raises her eyebrow, a small smile on her face. "How strange. Your heart is beating way too fast for a date dream," She laughs, opening the door for the open plan kitchen.
The monastery is weird. Peculiar to most, strange to all. The monastery only allows certain people to find it. Mostly elemental masters, some monks who wish to master the skills and knowledge of the first spinjitzu master. If someone else was to try and look for it or get lost in the forest which surrounds the monastery, they'd be guided out by the forest. The monastery is also weird on its own. You know how Hogwarts makes rooms appear when you need them? Yeah, the monastery is a bit like that now. It kind of...evolved when the ninja elemental powers did.
So rooms appear and disappear sometimes. The quiet room, where all the prophecies are formed or discovered, appears when a prophecy is about to be discovered. The bedrooms are the most solid and only disappear when they haven't been at the monastery for a long time. But they are still living at the monastery for now…until they decide to move out. Which could be soon?
Zane has his pink apron over his front as he finishes frying the eggs. He turns slightly, noticing [Name].
"[Name]," He nods, giving her a small smile. "I did not know you would be awake. I would have made a large portion,"
"That’s okay," [Name] smiles, walking over to cupboards to bring out the plates and bowls for everyone. "I am probably not going to eat much," Also a downside in her elemental power. [Name] does not have a large appetite.
"Try," Cole tells her gently, getting the cutlery. [Name] shrugs with a nod. Of course she will try. She always tries. It just does not go well.
"Good morning!" Jay strolls into the room, Nya yawning behind him. "[Name]? You’re awake!"
"I am awake," [Name] agrees, Nya sitting on the chair as she rubs her eyes. Jay kisses Nya’s forehead, taking a bowl from Cole. "How was your sleep?"
"Pretty good,"
"How was yours, Mune?" Nya questions, stretching her hands above her arms.
"Uh…" [Name] tilts her head. "It was…an experience," It was nothing. "Where’s Lloyd and Kai?"
"I’m pretty sure Kai is with Skylor," Cole starts, sitting next to [Name]. "I thought he slept over…?"
"I don’t even know," Nya mumbles, lying her head against the table. [Name] looks over to Nya, placing her hand on the girl’s shoulder. Why is Nya so tired? Was her dream exhausting? "Zane?"
"I do recall him leaving for patrol last night," Zane states, taking off his apron. "Perhaps, he stayed-"
A loud groan cuts off the nindroid, Lloyd plodding into the room and sitting on a chair. Nya raises her head, watching as the legendary ultimate spinjitzu master goes partially limp and allows his head to hit the table.
The group look at each other before Cole motions for [Name] to talk to him. [Name] makes a face. Why her? Why not anyone else? Literally anyone else? There are four other people in the room!
It was rather strange how [Name] met Lloyd. As we know, [Name] has the ability to dream walk. And when she was not that attuned with her elemental power, she dreamwalked into Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon’s dream. Sixteen year old [Name] was in complete and utter shock. She did not mean to in any way. But it seemed that in the dream, Lloyd had taken no notice and was under the assumption that [Name] was a part of the dream. A figment of his imagination. And when he woke up from the dream, he smiled more that day.
Something that he could not place however, is that this figment of his imagination had an energy signature. An old one. But not how he would sense with uncle or father. Not his mother though, as she reminds him continuously that she is not old. But the energy is ethereal. A comforting hug. It reminded him of…the moon. And when [Name] walked past him in real life, he immediately recognised that energy. And that fact that she had elemental energy in her. And from then friendships formed.
Not well. Lloyd is a very awkward being. So he came off weird. And [Name] wanted to avoid him because she was in his dream. But even though Lloyd is awkward, he has great determination.
"Lloyd?" [Name] removes her hand from Nya and puts it on his head. She did not notice that Lloyd immediately relaxed and moved closer to her. "Did you have a nightmare?"
"Yeah," he replies in a whisper.
"Was it a bad one?" [Name] runs her hands through his blond curls, Lloyd’s ear twitching in slight relief. It was so bad. The dream was so bad. So so bad. And so scary too. He knows that the world rests in his hands. He does not need to be reminded. At least not every night.
"Yeah,"
[Name] looks up at her friends who all give Lloyd looks of concern. His nightmares and visions are common. But they are never beneficial. And tea does not help as much as Wu thinks it does.
"Do you want me to dreamwalk?" [Name] suggests, Lloyd lifting his head slightly. His green eyes meet hers as he looks up through his eyelashes.
"I don’t want to be-"
"I can do it," she interrupts. "Honestly, it’s no big deal," It is a huge deal. [Name] has not dreamwalked into Lloyd’s dream since the first time.
"A-are you sure?" What if he dreams about her whilst she’s in his dream? Does that happen? What if-
"Yes, I am sure," [Name] nods. "It will be fine. So easy,"
It will not be fine. And it will not be easy.
