Day 3: First Christmas After the Merge
Empty and quiet halls of the monastery weren't what either of them had planned that year for Christmas, they hadn’t even had enough motivation to decorate or buy a tree like they normally did. They just made themselves hot chocolate and sat outside on the wall of the place they called home and stared down at the city.
“How many allies and friends do you think went missing other than the ninja?” Lloyd asked, sipping on the hot drink in the bitter cold air.
Indigo sighed, sipping her drink and looked up at the new moon in the sky, “I hope not many. Many of them reside in Ninjago city which didn’t seem to be too affected by the merging of the realms.” she replied, “Let’s try and make light of this heavy time. I painted a little something for you.”
“Oh Igo, you didn’t have to.” Lloyd denied, pushing away her hands as she held out the canvas.
His cousin only laughed with a warm smile, “I know you got me something so I returned the favor. I thought I’d paint you a mini version of the mural that was on the ceiling in your room. We can put it on the bounty if we ever find it.” She said, passing it to him as he smiled and hugged her.
“That so nice of you Indie..I didn’t get you something as special. But before the realms merged, Pixel helped me make you a cool new bladed fan since your current one is pretty old at this point.” Lloyd replied, his face lighting up as he climbed back down, taking the painting with him.
Indigo laughed softly, taking another sip of the warm liquid in her cup and looked up at the sky, “We’ll find them again, then we won’t be alone anymore.” She said, smiling at the stars that would never be the same again.
“I’m back!” Lloyd cheered as he climbed back up to the roof, passing her the fan and holding her cup. The fan was beautiful, it was a light amber color to match her element of healing, “We tried to make it look like your other one, just newer and one that works better!”
Indigo smiled softly as she flicked it open, the blades hidden within the fabric with a small button where her thumb normally rested. When she pressed it, the blades sprung out, it was elegant yet still just as deadly as the last.
"Oh Lloyd, it's perfect. I love it." She cooed, pulling the younger blond into a hug and kissed his forehead after brushing his hair out of the way, "Thank you."
"Merry Christmas, Indie." Lloyd mumbled, resting his head on her shoulder as they gazed up at the stars.
"Merry Christmas, Lloyd." Indigo answered, holding him close. It was a lonely Christmas, but the two still had each other.
And staring out at the new and unfamiliar landscape that lacked exploration, the cousins wished the other ninja and allies a Merry Christmas...wherever they were.

One day, Kirby and the rest were watching the skies, such beautiful blue sky... until a Warp Star started to be visible in those skies, acting erratically. Kirby went towards the Warp Star, that was now in space, and what he saw, as a little penguin, unconscious, floating in the black space, with black ash around the face, like if they were caught by a fire. Kirby was concerned. A kid? What happened to them?
Kirby grabbed the kid and went towards Castle Dedede to try and figure out what happened to them. Everyone was stranged by this. This penguin was not normal, they had wings, fangs, a tail, and later, they found out that they had blue and yellow eyes.
A doctor came to see them, and as they were investigating the penguin, they started to mumble some words: ''Father Cosmounse'' ''Gabriel'' Daniel'' ''Ezequiel''. What could that mean?
After some investigation, the doctor could confirm that they were in a comatose state, and seemed to be malnourished...
Let's see what the kid says when they wake up.
