Meher's POV

I looked up from my book when I heard my name. It was Lloyd, the green ninja. Good.

"Yes, that's me," I smiled.

"You wanted to see me?" he asked,

"Yes but I guess I should tell you who I am first, right?" I asked,

"That would be great but first. . . do you know Harumi?"

"Yes. . . she is my older sister,"

"What! Your older sister?"

"Yes,"

"Why has she never mentioned you?"

"Because. . . she thinks I am dead,"

*********************************

Lloyd POV

Meher looks nothing like her sister, more like her parents.

Dark brown hair.

Brown eyes.( I have seen from pictures)

But when I heard Harumi thinks she is dead I was surprised.

"Dead, Why?"

"It's. . . complicated,"

"I should've guessed,"

"First, where are my parents?"

My face dropped

"Oh sorry umm maybe you should ask your sister that question,"

"Why?"

"She will be the best person to. . .explain it to you,"

"Oh, Okay,"

"You hungry?"

"Yeah starving,"

"Guess I should of chosen a restaurant," I said with a smile,

"Oh no I'll settle for a double chocolate chip fudge cookie,"

"Really, you like those too?" I said looking up

"Yeah who doesn't, how about you?"

"Oh me! The only thing I eat from here are the double chocolate chip fudge cookies,"

"Same,"

"Let me go get some," I said getting up.

****************************

Meher POV

"Okay, now can you tell me where you come from?" Lloyd said, devouring the last part of his cookie like a lion that's not eaten in weeks.

"Ok," I said wiping of some crumbs from my lap "So, when I was born my sister loved me she made me a small jade necklace for me when I was born, I still have it,"

Lloyd's eyes trailed to my neck but quickly fell back down again.

"Although, after I was born the doctors said I wouldn't live for very long, my parents were devastated, so much they left me at the hospital and said goodbye to me, although a few weeks later I ended up living, the authorities spent weeks looking for my parents but never found them, eventually I got adopted by a nice lady named Millie who owned a small little bakery in one of the villages although it got destroyed after there was this big snake, I think it was the great devourer? Anyways, after it got destroyed we moved to Ninjago City as it was the best place to search for my parents and sister but never did. During Garmadon's reign because of all the destruction Millie went into a lot of debt. She worked 3 jobs. I read somewhere that someone resurrected him, but I don't know who. Millie never let me read it."

Lloyd's POV

"I see why," I thought to myself.

"A week after the 'Merge' I found out that I have a Elemental power,"

"Wait, you have an Elemental Power?" I said looking up.

"Oh yes I haven't told you I have an elemental power," she said sheepishly.

"What is it," I asked curiously.

"Oh well it is complicated. . ."

"I have seen plenty of complicated things you can tell me," I said.

"Oh well I can control jade crystals or something," she said,

"I am pretty sure there is more to your power than what meets the eye. Have you discovered your true potential yet?" I asked,

"Well not yet," she said,

"Well I am sure we can see exactly what your powers do in one of Master Wu's many scrolls," I told her, realising it might take hours to find. Master Wu has tons of scrolls.

"I hope we do. I want to achieve as much as possible," She told me.

I smiled "Care to show me what you have already learnt?" I asked,

"Oh. . . yeah sure," she hesitated,

She closed her eyes and summoned her power. Her eyes glowed a jade green (luckily there was no one in the coffee shop but us). She made a beautiful jade crystal trapping the teacup in it. She let go .Dizzy. I picked up the crystal in amazement. It was completely frozen inside like ice.

"Wow that was amazing," I said

"Thanks," she said catching her breath,

"Can you do anything else?" I asked,

"Not yet," she said,

"I am pretty sure there is more to unlock, but this is no elemental power I have seen before," I said confused

"I don't know either," she said

"We'll find out. Everything has gotten weird after the merge," I smiled "Now back to your story,"

"Oh yes, the new criminal people their name is Draco Venator,"

"Weird name," I said.

"I know, anyway they found out I have an elemental power and kidnapped me, they said that they need to make their weapon or something,"

"Classic bad guy stuff," I huffed.

"What?" she asked quizzically.

"Oh it's just what bad guys always do," I explained.

"Okaaay, anyways they took me prisoner for a year trying to make me make one of my jade crystals but I refused. They tortured me. . . in a lot of ways. Anyway, A few months ago they dropped the key to my cell. I took it and escaped ever since I have been on the run." She finished

"That was quite the story,"I said.

"I have to ask, where is Millie?"

She seemed to tear up a bit.

"You know before the Merge, how the overlord tried to take over Ninjago?"

"Yeah. . ." I said

"She died during the overlord's attack,"

"Oh. . . I am so sorry,"

"Thanks, but whoever resurrected Garmadon and the Overlord They will regret it dearly." She exclaimed angrily slamming her fist on the table.

"I. . . I don't think that is necessary," I said,

"How would you know?" She snapped but then her face softened

"Sorry Lloyd. I can't really control my temper" She told me, embarrassed.

"That's OK. . . I know how it is,"

"Thanks. . . can I ask you a favour?"

"Sure," I said

"Will you help me find my parents and sister,"she asked hopefully,

"I don't think so," I said looking behind her,

Her face dropped "What? Why?"

She looked devastated.

"Because I already found your sister,"
