Kyra woke up the next morning, immediately jumping out of bed and racing to William's room. She threw the door open, but no one was in there. She sighed, turning away and heading for her room to get ready. Then a whooshing sound flew past her ear. She stopped mid step, wondering if she was hearing things.

"Kyra?" William said softly.

Kyra smiled, turning around. William now stood in the mid of his room in his pj's. Kyra ran to him, embracing him in a big hug.

"William!" she cried. "Where did you go? Are you hurt? What happened?"

"Whoa," William said, trying to stop the flow of questions coming from Kyra. "I'm fine, honestly. I guess you could say I went on a bit of an adventure."

Kyra looked at him confused.

"I went to another world with my grandfather's spirit," William summed it up.

"You're grandfather's spirit?" Sam asked in the doorway. "Sounds like some adventure. Are you sure no one drugged you?"

"Yes," William said. "What? Do you not believe me?"

"I just find it hard to believe," Sam shook his head. "Anyways, we've got to be going in half an hour. Come on."

Sam turned and walked away, heading for the main floor. Kyra looked at William.

"I can't believe no one believes me," William said quietly.

"It's because it's just hard to believe, Will," Kyra said. "I want to believe you, it's just hard to imagine it."

Then William felt something in his pocket. He reached into it and found Kai's wedding ring. He looked at it, confused.

"Dad's ring?" Kyra looked confused. "But…..it was destroyed in the fire. I don't understand how…..you have it."

"I saw him," William whispered. "I saw your parents last night, and my father. Kai must have slipped this into my pocket when I wasn't looking."

William looked at Kyra, whose eyes were locked onto it. He took Kyra's hand and placed the ring it it.

"It's your fathers," he said. "So you should have it."

Kyra closer her hand tightly around it, smiling at William.

"Thank you," she whispered, hugging him.

William was startled at first, but he closed his eyes and returned it.

"Kyra! William! Are you two getting ready?" Ali called from down stairs.

"Yes mom!" William replied. "We better get ready before she gets mad."

Kyra nodded. She turned and made for the door, looking at the ring.

"Oh, and Kyra," William said, causing her to look back at him. "I don't know if you'll ever believe me, but I just want you to know that I'm alright."

Kyra nodded and walked back to her bedroom. She closed the door and placed the ring on her nightstand beside her necklace. She paused, looking at the picture of her family and sighing.

"I love you, dad," Kyra said. "And you too, mom."

Then, almost as if it were a reply, the ring flickered a bright red light. Kyra stared in awe, picking up the ring and flipping it over in her hand.

"Kyra! Are you getting ready?" Jason asked, knocking on her door. "We've got to be leaving soon and I haven't seen you all morning."

"Yeah, be out in a minute," Kyra replied, placing the ring back on her nightstand.

She quickly changed into a pair of grey jogging pants and a dark red t-shirt. She pulled on an orange zip up sweater and put her books into her backpack. He grabbed her necklace, unlinking it. Then she paused, looking at the ring. She decided to add it to the chain, sliding it on and linking it around her neck. She grabbed her bag and walked out of her room.

"Ok, lunches are made," Ali called.

Kyra walked down the stairs, seeing Jason, Brock and Sam putting their lunches into their bags. She grabbed her lunch bag and placed it in her backpack.

"Where's William?" Ali asked. "I heard him."

"Right here, mom," William said, running down the stairs, trying to get his last book into his bag.

He grabbed his lunch, placing it in his bag and quickly doing it up. Kyra shook her head, smiling. All five of them placed their bags by the door and sat around the table for breakfast.

"I'm going to go and wake up Ella," Ali said, walking down the hall towards Ella's room.

"So, Kyra, Sam," Brock said. "What are you two going to do while we're at practise?"

"I have to go to to workshop," Sam said. "I'm helping out a fellow student to finish their project."

"I'm not sure," Kyra told them. "Maybe I'll go and see if they need help in the kitchen with baking. If not, I'll probably be in the library."

"Boy's you're going to be late, it's almost eight," Ali said. "Hurry, out the door."

Brock, Jason and William jumped from their chairs, racing to get their shoes on. Kyra and Sam followed. Everyone went out the door, calling goodbye to Ali. They started walking down the street, talking.

"Guys, five to eight," Sam told the others.

"Great, we're going to be late," Jason shook his head. "We're hooped."

"Not unless we run the rest of the way," William said.

"I wouldn't do that if….." Sam started.

But before he could finish, Brock, Jason and William were racing off down the street towards the school.
"I were you," Sam finished, letting out a loud sigh. "I doubt they will have much energy left for practise if they rung the next five blocks to the school."

Kyra laughed. "Those three, I will never understand them."

Sam laughed as they continued walking towards the school

Kyra sat in the tree in the backyard. School was over, William, Jason and Brock had to go for more soccer practise, Sam had to stay late for a construction project and Ali had gone to get Ella. Her legs swung in the air as she hummed the song her baking teacher had been playing in the kitchen that day. She fiddled with the ring on the chain around her neck.

The weather was chilly, so she was wearing a light jacket, feeling a cold breeze on her bare hands. It felt like she was skating around the rink at full speed, and it made her happy.

"Why couldn't I have a normal life?" she asked herself. "Not this confusing one, where I don't even know who my own mother is."

She stopped, looking up the sky, the soft white clouds floating carefree above her.

"Then again," she thought. "I would never have met William. Or Brock. Or sam, Jason and Ella. I wouldn't have a family that loves me like they do. I wouldn't have a family at all, since Mom and Dad are gone."

She turned the necklace on way, and saw the bright red light again. She blinked rapidly, confused. She saw her father's name embedded into it, with a small red gemstone in the tail of the 's' in 'Smith'. She smiled, remembering all the times she took her father's ring as a kid and made him chase her for it. She laughed at the memories.

"I miss you, Dad," Kyra said. "I really do. I just wish you would have told me about my true mother."

She looked up and out into the houses of Jamanikai Village.

"I'll find her, though," Kyra said. "One week, and I'll set out on my own. To try to learn more about myself, discover my limits, meet new people and find out who my birth mother was. Hopefully."

She sighed, pushed herself to her feet. She jumped from the branch to the ground below, turning and walking inside. She was happy with the life she had, but she just wanted to have answers to the questions she still had. She knew everyone was going their own way for the holidays and that it was her time to set off.

The whole adventure she had been on with Sam, Brock, Jason, Ella and William was unbelieveable, and she had learned so much. Even developed feelings for her teammate and best friend. She just wanted to know one more thing, and she wasn't going to quit until she found the answer to the question.

For the ninja, a week passed quickly. Jason, Brock and Sam had packed up their things and left for home with their parents. Kyra replaced her school supplies with the things she would need for her adventure. She walked downstairs, seeing Ali, William and Ella decorating their Christmas tree.

"Kyra, you're leaving," William said.

"Yeah," Kyra nodded. "I'll be back by the Sunday before school starts again. I promise."

"Kyra, be safe out there," Ali said. "And never let your communicator off your wrist. You can call us if you ever need something."

"I will, Ali," Kyra said. "Merry Christmas, you guys."

"Oh, wait a minute," William said.

He raced past Kyra and up to his room. He came back down, a box in his hands.

"This is for you," he said. "I had got it before you said you'd be leaving. Open it."

Kyra took the box, opening it and seeing a red and green scarf.

"William, it's amazing," she smiled.

She pulled it out and wrapped it around her neck. She saw all their elemental symbols on each end, embedded with a golden thread.

"Becareful," William kissed her cheek. "I don't want to lose you ever again. Alright."

Kyra nodded, smiling. She hugged William tightly, knowing this was goodbye for a while. She walked out the door, leaving their house for her own adventure. William, Ali and Ella stood in the doorway until she was out of their sight. From then on, everything was peaceful in the Garmadon's house, and everywhere else in Ninjago.

That's it. This stories over. Kyra's adventure will be one of the side stories that will come out in the future. I will most likely finish up Missing Two and take a break for a couple weeks. There might be something in there, but I can't make any promises. I hope you enjoyed this story and have a great day everyone!
