As Vinny finished getting dressed he wondered if Shancai was still awake. He hesitated for a moment before leaving the room and going over to the princes’ room. The cameraman stared at the closed door before taking a deep breathe and gently knocking.

He heard some rustling from inside the room and the door opened, Shancai was awake. “Is something wrong?” The prince questioned, there was no annoyance in his voice.

“Just wanted to check if you were up…” Vinny spoke awkwardly, Shancai nodded in understanding before moving to the side offering Vinny to enter the room, “A-are you sure?” The cameraman questioned, the prince nodded. He didn’t talk much, unlike Willow they were like polar opposites, but they were both likeable.

The cameraman entered the room and looked around, it was more decorated than his room, which made sense he was in a guest room. Vinny noticed that Shancai had a shit ton of hair products, some organised while others just put on the dressing table. The prince pointed for Vinny to sit on the bed, which he did.

“Did you bathe well?” The prince questioned as he went to the dressing table and took off the bonnet, placing it to the side, he made sure to hold up his hair so it doesn’t reach the ground. Vinny pulled out the dagger and began fidgeting with it.

“Yea…it was really relaxing…how about you?” Vinny responded, as he watched the prince start to put other products on his hair, Vinny suspected that Shancai didn’t put them in before, because he had to make sure the cameraman didn’t die in the bathtub.

“It was well…do you like your hair?” Shancai questioned once more, he didn’t seem the best at conversing with others.

“Yep, it’s nice, I was gonna get a haircut later this week…but then I ended up here and it just slipped off my mind…” Vinny chuckled awkwardly, the prince nodded in acknowledgment and continued fixing his hair. “You’re hair’s really nice…” Vinny blurted out without thinking.

Shancai paused for a moment, “Thank you…” he finally spoke up, cussing Vinny to let out a shaky breathe he didn’t even know he was holding.

“Do people normally compliment your looks?” The cameraman hesitantly asked.

“Occasionally…not necessarily my body marks, but mostly my hair and eyes…” Shancai answered.

“R-right…so your body marks…not the vitiligo, the patterned ones…where are they from?” Vinny asked.

“I am…unsure, my mother said I was born with them…I’ve never really…believed it…” Shancai replied, his voice becoming quieter as he looked at his arm covered in those patterned marks.

“Should I not ask these questions? I don’t wanna press on if you’re uncomfortable…” Vinny spoke as he looked at the prince worriedly.

“You are free to do so…it’s not often I’m questioned about myself” Shancai spoke as he looked at Vinny.

“Alright…you don’t have to answer everything if you don’t want to” Vinny spoke before taking a deep breathe, “Was it…hard growing up with those marks? I don’t know much about the kingdom and it’s people…but back in Ninjago people are really judgy…”he asked.

“It was…though I had a friend, he assured me of everything…and he was the closest I’ve ever been with someone I wasn’t related to…. Shancai confessed, the cameraman looked at him curiously.

“What happened?” Vinny asked.

“He…disappeared…” Shancai sighed as his eyes flicked down to the dagger that was in the cameramans’ hand.

“Oh…” Vinny spoke, he was about to say something, but was cut off by the door opening.

“Are you seriously still awake…?” A familiar tired voice spoke as the two turned their attention to the door. Willow…wearing a shirt and shorts as she rubbed her eye from exhaustion.

“Yes I am…” Shancai spoke to Willow who blinked for a couple of seconds before turning to Vinny.

“Are you having a sleepover?” The nature elemental spoke, “I’m hurt I wasn’t invited” she added as he made a dramatic pose, Shancai rubbed his temple while Vinny chuckled.

“We’re not…we were just talking” The cameraman spoke to Willow.

“We should have one, all three of us!” The nature elemental spoke, her exhaustion disappearing.

“I wouldn’t want to intrude and this is your brothers’ room” Vinny spoke, as he looked towards the prince who was putting his hair back in the bonnet.

“It is fine with me…as long as someone actually sleeps” Shancai spoke as he looked towards Willow who smiled sheepishly.

“I’ll sleep I swear!” Willow laughed out as she closed the door.

“Alright then” Vinny spoke as he smiled, Shancai nodded in agreement.

“Shanni! Please I am begging you can we make a blanket fort!” Willow begged her brother.

“Seriously?” Shancai sighed, the nature elemental nodded desperately.

“He wants it” Willow spoke as he pointed to Vinny who was silently laughing at the two siblings.

“Fine fine…” The prince answered, Willow immediately jumped towards the bed and grabbed the pillows and blankets.

“Help me you two” she spoke, the two nodded and did as they were told. Setting the blankets and pillows in ways that made a roof and and soft makeshift floor bed. It took around 10 minutes and then they laid in it.

“I haven’t been able to convince Shancai to do this since we were kids” Willow told Vinny as she relaxed in the blanket fort.

“That’s because it’s childish” Shancai spoke.

“Childish? This will never become childish!” Vinny laughed out, he really enjoyed their company, Willow was the perfect amount of fun and childish while Shancai was the perfect amount of mature and serious.

“See? Even he gets it!” Willow said to her brother who rolled his eyes playfully. “Admit it! You’re having fun!” She begged her brother.

“Alright…” Shancai sighed, “Maybe I am enjoying this a little bit” he added.

“A little bit?” Vinny teased as he laid on his side and stared at Shancai.

“Maybe a lot…” the prince looked at Vinny and corrected himself.

“Yes you are!” Willow laughed before she playfully ruffled her brothers’ hair, only to have her hand knocked away.

“This is the best I’ve felt in a while…” Vinny sighed as he relaxed onto his back.

“With the whole Enji thing?” Willow asked.

“Yea…you two really make me feel better…” the cameraman sighed.

“Well I knocked two birds with one stone!” Willow teased Vinny and Shancai, “You’re both so moody” she laughed.

“Yes yes…” Shancai sighed as he bit back a smile, “Now sleep…mother doesn’t like us staying up” he added.

“Correction…she doesn’t like you staying up” Willow spoke, “Me and Vinny are fine” she added.

“Yea, I slept before” the cameraman teased Shancai.

“Well if we don’t sleep then how would we be able to show Vinny around the kingdom tomorrow” The prince spoke, clearly knowing his sister well. Willow put her hand up to retort, but stayed silent.

“Fine, you win!” She laughed out as she playfully punched her brother.

“Who’s turning off the light…?” Vinny asked.

“Shanni…” Willow instantly spoke, Shancai looked at his sister, before sighing and getting up then turning off the light and laying back down.

“Now we sleep…” Willow yawned as she rolled to her side, the other two nodded and Vinny hugged a spare pillow. “Night everyone…” she added.

“Goodnight…” Shancai spoke in response.

“Night…” the cameraman yawned in response.

Silence filled the room, it was a comforting silence…the sound of the wind gently howling from outside as it entered the room and gently hit against their bodies. Willow was first to fall asleep her soft breathing, then it was Vinny and finally Shancai…

Vinny liked this…he liked this kingdom…he liked everyone he’s met here…they make him feel safe…

(MY FAVOURITE TRIO….these three are meant to be a sibling trio and I absolutely fucking love them…)

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 89

(I suggest you check out parts 1-88 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

As Vinny and Shancai walked down the halls of the palace, the cameraman couldn’t help but feel like a burden was lifted off his shoulders, he no longer felt like he carried the weight of the world.

Vinny still felt some anxiety, but knowing that Wu or Jay understood the situation and weren’t jumping to conclusions, relived him, so he could presume what the others could possible say if they found out about Enji.

“You alright?” The prince asked, snapping the cameraman out of his thoughts, as he looked up.

“Yea…” Vinny sighed in relief, “A lot better now, you were right about them being understanding” he chuckled, as he rubbed the back of his neck.

“Your other friends would understand just as much, don’t worry yourself” Shancai spoke, “We still need to figure Ridas’ plan with you…” he sighed out.

“I know…what could he possibly want from me? There’s nothing special about me, the only significant thing I’ve done is allow Ninjagos’ former warlord into my house and date him…” The cameraman confessed.

“You never mentioned that before…” the prince spoke as he cocked his head curiously.

“Ah right…” Vinny sighed, “Yea…Garmadon was kind of the city’s number one enemy because he destroyed it…not his fault though, he was bitten by this snake that corrupted him when he was young”

“That is pretty major…” Shancai spoke as they continued walking. “Was it…hard to love him?” He hesitantly asked, his voice quietening.

“A little…” the cameraman chuckled, as a somber smile formed on his face, “He was a little short tempered at times, but he’s always interested me” he confessed.

“Do you ever think of what others would think?” The prince questioned, the questions were clearly for something or well…someone…

“All the time, but who cares? The city’s fucked up and so is everyone else…i won’t let judgemental bitches criticise my life just because they don’t approve of it, there’ll always be people who don’t approve…” Vinny sighed as he looked up at Shancai.

“You don’t get uncomfortable from being judged…?” The prince asked his voice barely audible.

“I do, sometimes…but when practically everyone found out Garmadon was living with me they all gave me judgy looks and overtime I got used to it” The cameraman confessed as they made it outside, back to the training area.

“You really love him” Shancai painfully chuckled, he was clearly thinking about someone, and Vinny had a hint as to who that someone was, and Shancai clearly yearned this person.

“I do…I love him so much…” the cameraman sighed as they walked down the steps. “Well that was quicker than expected”

“Yea…” Shancai sighed as he rubbed his temples and stretched.

“What are we doing now?” Vinny asked curiously, he wanted to distance himself from their conversation before, it clearly was taking a toll on the prince. And it only seemed to confuse Vinny about Shancai and Enji, because it was obvious the prince was thinking about him. The guilt and yearning on his face was evident.

“Speed I suppose, you can’t run away from someone if you’re slow, and you couldn’t catch up with Jay” the prince spoke, slightly teasing Vinny.

“N-not my fault! Enji held me down and let Jay get away” the cameraman whined as his cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

“A few laps around here is fine?” Shancai asked, receiving a soft nod from Vinny. “I’ll run with you” he added.

“You’re like a hundred times faster than me” the cameraman joked.

“I might as well be” The prince replied as he handed Vinny his water bottle, “Don’t drink too little or too much”. The cameraman nodded and drank some water, it was good for be hydrated before a run.

“So just around here?” Vinny asked as he pointed to the area. The prince nodded in response as they stood next to each other. Shancai ran first, clearly going slow allowing the cameraman to run at the same pace.

“Breathe in from your nose and out from your mouth” the prince spoke, Vinny nodded and did what was instructed. The area they ran around wasn’t small, but wasn’t large and it was tolerable. The run wasn’t anything significant, they didn’t talk much because there wasn’t really anything to talk about.

They ran around for a good half an hour before sitting back down, the two managed to lap around the area around 8-12 times before relaxing. “That was good” Vinny chuckled as he drank water.

“How so?” Shancai asked curiously, the two were letting out soft pants, were sweating while their cheeks were slightly flushed.

“Just felt nice and relaxing, no problems to deal with at all” the cameraman answered as he smiled at the prince. “Do you ever find training relaxing?”

“Sometimes I guess…” Shancai answered as he drank as well.

“Wanna go inside?” Vinny asked as he leaned back.

“I don’t see why not, best we don’t push you so quickly” the prince answered as the both stood up, the cameraman cracking his back. The two walked back up the stairs, Vinny letting out an exasperated groan, he hated stairs.

“Do you have patrol today?” The cameraman asked as they began walking down the halls once more.

“Yes, it would be better if you stay here this time” Shancai answered, “There has been rumours of some attack” he added.

“Really? You gonna be alright? With your bruise and all you should have a break” Vinny asked, he was well aware of the princes’ abilities of self defence, but he could still be worried.

“I’ll manage, perhaps you could stay with mother? She doesn’t seems to mind your presence while working on things which is rare, she hardly allows others that’s not me or Willow there” Shancai spoke.

“Yea, hey uh…why did you say it like that?” Vinny asked, confusing the prince.

“Say what?” Shancai questioned as he cocked his head.

“Before you used to say ‘my mother’…but now you just say ‘mother’…?” The cameraman nervously confessed as he rubbed the back of his neck and looked away. There was silence for a few seconds as they both stopped walking.

“Never crossed my mind, I just stopped it and it feels right” Shancai eventually spoke up breaking the silence.

“I-it does?” Vinny asked as he looked at the prince.

“Yea, I’m sure Willow would agree…you’re welcome into our family” Shancai spoke comfortingly causing a small smile to form on the cameramans’ face.

“Thanks…” Vinny sighed in relief as they began walking again.

“If you were to ask Willow she would call you our brother” The prince spoke, “And I would call you the same” he added. The cameraman looked at the ground, he was happy hearing that.

“I’ve thought the same with all of you…I’ve kinda of regarded you as family now” Vinny chuckled out.

“We all see you as one of our own” Shancai spoke.

“That makes me feel better, thanks…for everything…” the cameraman spoke as they continued walking down the halls. “You think the travellers tea would work bringing us back here…?” He asked quietly, he really wanted to come back here all the time.

“It’s no issue, we’ll surely find another way for you to come back here, if not travellers tea then we can find something like Enjis’ mirror” Shancai spoke, as he placed his hand on Vinnys’ shoulder.

“You think whatever Rida’s up to is gonna be bad…?” The cameraman quietly asked as he leaned against the prince slightly.

“I…am uncertain of what he is doing, but I won’t, and can’t give you false hope of it being something small…” Shancai confessed.

“That’s what I wanted to hear” Vinny chuckled weakly, “Just the truth…” he sighed.

“Your room’s here, you wanna go?” Shancai asked, receiving a nod from the other.

“Yea…you need to get ready either way and I need a shower” the cameraman answered as he opened the door to his room.

“If you would like, I could possibly give you some of my old clothes, like the ones you’re wearing now…they fit you well” Shancai spoke.

“That would be amazing” Vinny sighed out, “They’re really comfy too, thanks”

“Once you’re done come to me and I’ll give them” the prince asked, receiving a nod from the cameraman. “I’ll be in my room” he added as he began walking off.

“See ya” Vinny called out before stretching and going into his room and closing the door. That was nice, the kingdom was nice, Deity, Shancai and Willow were nice. The cameraman took off his arm bracers and cloak tossing it onto the bed as he felt his back. Man he sweated a lot.

“Not doing anything else today…” he spoke to himself as he stroked a hand through his hair and sat on the bed. The cameraman took off his shirt, allowing his body to breathe for a moment. He had a feeling his muscles were gonna hurt in the morning.

The hairs on his body stood up as he shivered, a cool gust of wind hit him, it felt familiar. Not Enji familiar, but familiar. Vinny began looking around as his hand slid to the dagger in his pocket. He didn’t know why but he didn’t feel alone.

The cameraman suddenly pulled the dagger out and slammed someone against the wall, the dagger digging into the strangers’ arm. Vinnys’ eyes widened when he saw the person, not necessarily saw but recognised…a Phoenix mask…there was only one person with that mask…Rida…

(Vinny being curious about why Shancai stopped saying ‘my mother’ has gotta be the cutest thing ever cause you know he’s all happy about being accepted like this😭)

Overwhelmed(part 13 Vinny x Garmadon)

(go check out part 1-12 if you haven't already)

The two lovers slept for a few hours, but Garmadon woke up first he felt like absolute shit and let out a sigh. The former warlord sat up and stared down at his resting angel and smiled to himself. "I don't deserve you..." he whispered to himself before gently kissing his lovers' forehead earning a soft little smile from Vinny. Garmadon stood up before stretching. He was honestly sick of being here, but he had to help he wanted to help his son. Though it did hurt that his son was afraid of embracing his oni form, but couldn't blame him practically all the onis' he's ever seen have been some what evil not counting Mystake.

Garmadon walked out of the monastery and looked around he opened the gate and sat on the edge. It was pretty late and everyone was resting or so he thought. Garmadon leaned back and stared at the sky the stars were shining and it was beautiful. He really started to admire things when he met Vinny, he would've never seen the significance of something before. The thought of that made him chuckle softly, and closed his eyes. "Mind if i join you?"A voice suddenly called out softly causing Garmadon to turn his attention to the owner of the voice.

It was Lloyd, "Not at all.."Garmadon responded to his son before looking back up at the sky. Lloyd sat down next to his father and stared at the sky. "Does Vinny know you're up?" the green ninja asked his father, which Garmadon responded by shaking his head. "i really am sorry..."Lloyd said breaking a silence that stood there for two minutes. "I said it was fine..."He responded to his son, "No it isn't this isn't the first time i heard someone talk to me in that tone" Lloyd responded.

Garmadon stared at his son before letting out a sigh, "You have every reason to not have given me a chance and think that i could not change...."The oni told his son, "No...no I didn't, i shouldn't be judging you for your past mistakes and it wasn't your fault, but...i am really happy you found someone to give you a chance and i can honestly tell you changed"Lloyd said smiling at his father.

"I agree...about finding a person that believed in me not the other stuff"Garmadon responded quickly adding the last part, hearing this made Lloyd laugh out softly, "Believe what you want but remember what i said" said the green ninja comforting his father. Lloyd leaned on his fathers' shoulder, this caught Garmadon off guard but he didn't mind he really did want to make up with his son. Garmadon rested his hand on his sons' head. The two stayed there for 30minutes until Lloyd fell asleep and Garmadon picked up his son and carried him to his room gently laying him on his bed.

On the way back to his room he saw his brother who gave him a soft smile, as Garmadon entered the room he carefully went back into bed not wanting to wake up Vinny. It was at the moment that he's ever felt so calm before.

(Awwww my heart this is like the most heart warming chapter i've ever written and i love it i mean who doesn't love father and son bonding, it's also long hope you guys enjoy)

(I suggest you check out parts 1-56 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised: Criolla_Star)

As Vinny got up from his bed, he reached for the dagger on the bedside table, he cursed to himself realising he left it in the bathroom.

It was too early for this, but he got a decent sleep at night. As he went over to the mirror he noticed the window was slightly open…when did that happen? Never mind, maybe that’s what pushed the jacket onto his bed.

He rubbed his temples as he groaned to himself, as sat back on the edge of the bed about to lay down…the air thickened in the room as his heart quickened.

“Morning buddy~” a familiar voice whispered into the cameramans’ ear as a head rested on his shoulder. Vinny cursed to himself once more as he reluctantly turned his head around

Enji…just what he needed, must’ve jinxed himself before. Except Vinny was a little surprised to see the menace not wearing his normal attire and certainly didn’t look the same.

He looked just as tired as Vinny, droopy eyes, wearing a dark grey compression shirt and loose black shorts. His hair was out, some of it draping over his shoulder.

“What do you want?” The cameraman spoke, malice evident in his voice.

“What do I want?” Enji replied, chuckling softly, “Must I have a want? Can’t I pay a visit? After all I didn’t see you yesterday” he continued as he leaned back onto the bed, resting against the backboard.

Vinny rolled his eyes and grumbled in annoyance as the menace relaxed. “Get your feet off” he spoke, it sounded more like a request than an order. He was still scared of Enji after all.

“Nope” Enji teased, “Now then…what’s with covering the mirrors?” He asked the cameraman causing his breathe to hitch.

“I just don’t like mirrors…” Vinny replied plainly, it was partially the truth. “Now answer my question…why are you here? You clearly didn’t plan for this based on how you look” he added as he stood up from the bed, distancing himself from the menace.

Enji rolled his eyes and chuckled, “I was planning on do this tomorrow, buuuuut Rida wanted to be extra safe so I’m doing it now”

“That answers on thing” The cameraman sighed as he looked in the dresser mirror. “And what do you need to be extra safe of?” He questioned once more.

“A few things…and as for the reason I’m here…” Enji spoke, Vinny shivered and looked at the ground as he was hit by something cold, not quite wind though…he looked back at the mirror, his heart aching. “I need a favour….” He continued as he was now in the mirror, those eyes staring directly into the cameramans’.

Vinny hardly processed what was said to him as he was caught off guard by Enji going into the mirror, “A-a favour?” He managed to stutter out as his mind finally processed the words.

“Yep~! Nothing too big” Enji replied with a devilish smile as his hand reached from in the mirror and he grabbed Vinnys’ cheeks harshly. The cameraman sucked his teeth, but kept his mouth shut. Anything could piss off Enji, and he clearly wanted to get over and done with this quickly.

“What is it…?” Vinny grumbled, he wanted to get rid of Enji so badly, but he needed to know what the favour is.

“You need to help me get that key~!” Enji replied as he released Vinnys’ cheeks.

“The key…? Y-you can’t actually believe I’ll help you get it?” The cameraman replied as he stroked a hand through his hand and put his other hand on his hip.

“I don’t need to believe…because you’re helping me whether you like it or not” Enji threatened as he climbed out of the mirror and sat on the mirror stand.

“C-can’t you get it yourself? You’ve managed to sneak in here multiple times!” Vinny replied, anxiety creeping up his back.

“If it was that simple I would’ve done so already!” Enji hissed before taking a deep breath, “Now all you need to do is get me down to that god forsaken place…that stupid elevator has some recognition thing and my illusions aren’t working” he sighed, annoyance evident on his face,

Vinny rolled his eyes, “What if I don’t?” He asked, wanting to see how far he could push this.

The menace grumbled, “If you don’t fucking listen then I’ll take your friends one by one and gouge their eyes while you watch” he threatened, he really wanted to get this over and done with.

Vinnys’ breathe hitched as his hands trembled, he clenched his fists and took a deep breathe, “Can’t you…just make a copy of the key…?” He asked hesitantly.

“That key is special, because it’s magical now hurry up before someone wakes up” Enji replied impatiently, he was more pushy than usual.

“Anything’s better than him hurting them” the cameraman thought before he reluctantly nodded to Enji.

Enji gave him a sinister smile before jumping off the mirror stand, “Lead the way my friend” he teased as he bowed down.

Vinny grumbled to himself, “Wait…I need to get something…” he spoke as he went to the bathroom and came back with the dagger.

“I see you enjoy the dagger” Enji spoke, but the cameraman ignored and walked out of the room, he was followed by the other man who closed the door behind him.

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 63

(I suggest you check out parts 1-62 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

(With Vinny and the others)

They all walked through the forest, Vinny avoiding eye contact with everyone. The guilt he felt knowing he was the reason they were all was overbearing, to him he deserved whatever happened to his arm.

Kai seemed to notice the cameraman who was trapped in thought and walked next to him, wrapping an arm around his shoulder. “You look blue buddy, what’s on your mind?” He questioned.

“Of course he’s upset Kai, his arm’s probably broken” Jay spoke, as he rolled his eyes.

“Shut up Jay” The fire ninja replied bluntly. It was a normal response to Jay, he would randomly tell Jay to shut up even when he wasn’t talking.

“Enough you two” Nya sighed as she watched her lover and brother squabble like toddlers.

“Alright alright…back to the questions, is anything on your mind?” Kai as Vinny who was looking away, avoiding eye contact.

“I…not really…just worried about the others…” Vinny spoke timidly as he looked at the ground, it wasn’t really a lie, he was concerned for the others, but he was mad at himself for being an idiot.

“They’re strong, if we managed to be safe this long, they’ll be perfectly fine” Lloyd spoke, “They have most of the brains of our group, other than Nya” he added, causing the water ninja to smile at the compliment.

“We can be smart” Cole spoke, Jay and Kai nodded in agreement.

“Sure you can” Nya spoke sarcastically as she rolled his eyes, causing Vinny to chuckle softly.

“When we get back we’re playing video games…” Jay spoke.

“Definitely” Cole and Kai spoke in unison.

“I still need to reorganise my side of the room” Nya groaned, causing Jay to snicker.

“Should’ve got it done when I did” The lightning ninja teased, receiving a glare from Nya.

“I swear whoever that guy from yesterday was in already a p-“ Kai was cut off as a spear flew by his face, narrowly missing him.

“What the…?” Vinny muttered as he and the others turned around to the spear which was lodged in a tree. Before they could say anything, there was two bangs on the ground that sounded like metal, and the spear exploded.

The cameraman stumbled back and fell onto the ground, his dagger falling out of his pocket, down next to him. The others managed to stay standing. Lloyd crouched near Vinny, holding his arm to help him stand up.

“Who’s there!?” Cole shouted as he banged his fists together, triggering his earth punch. Kai formed a fireball while Jay and Nya pulled out their swords.

As Lloyd began helping Vinny up, he was cut off by a harsh kick to his chest as he was knocked back into Nya, she thankfully caught him and lessened the impact. The cameraman stared back at Lloyd worriedly, but was given a thumbs up from in for comfort.

Vinny looked back in front of him, he took a sharp breathe as he felt cold metal pressed against his neck. It was a spear, which led up to a man…a cold, emotionless expression on his face…

The man was intimidating…black scleras with silver irises that pierced anyones soul just by looking at him, in this case…Vinnys’ soul…scars across his face…not as much as Rida though…a yin sign on his left cheek,…two different skin tones…vitiligo…as well as floor long, fluffy black hair that was tied up in a single bubble braid.

He wore balloon harem pants, with a short waist cloth, armour that looked like it weighed a ton, hardly any of his body shown other than his face. His armour had a flower like insignia which no doubt held some meaning. The spear had some gems scattered across it’s handle as well as the armour. His appearance was interesting…his most striking features, his hair, eyes and vitiligo…

Vinnys’ trembled as the blade of the spear was kept against his neck, he gulped, his adam apple bobbing as he done so. He noticed the mans’ eyes flick down to the dagger which was laid across the ground, a flick of recognition was no doubt in the mans’ expression, before his expression darkened.

“Where’s the dagger from?” The man spoke, it wasn’t a choice to answer he had to. The ninja watched from behind, Nya working up the courage to walk over and crouch next to Vinny knocking the mans’ spear away from his neck.

“He doesn’t have to answer you” the water ninja hissed as she grabbed the dagger from the ground and gave it to Vinny.

“N-Nya it’s fine, honestly…” the cameraman replied a little touched at the care from Nya, considering they’ve only been close friends for a few days, “I-I brought it from somewhere…” Vinny replied to the mans’ question, it was a lie, but it was what everyone believed.

The mans’ eyes sharpened as he grabbed Vinny by the collar of his shirt and pulled him up, “Lying won’t do you any good” He spoke, his voice hid no malice, no threats…no emotion and neither did his expression.

“What would you know?” Kai hissed from the back, clearly ready to fight whenever anything bad happened, the man just ignored Kai.

“I-I’m not lying…” Vinny spoke, his voice was shaking, did the man know Rida and Enji? Did he work with them? Was all that was going through his mind, he couldn’t deal with another like Enji. He looked up at the man, his expression begging for him to stop with the questions, he didn’t want the others finding out he lied.

The mans’ monotone expression faded for a second into realisation, before he sighed and let go of Vinny, and backing away. When this happened the others immediately bunched together. The cameraman let out a shaky breathe one he didn’t know he was holding once he was let go.

“Who are you?” Lloyd questioned,

“Shancai, prince and sworn protector of the Ivory Kingdom” the man spoke before he helped Vinny get up from the ground.

“Hah…that’s nice, but why’d you feel the need to attack us!?” Jay questioned, his rage not well hidden.

“You aren’t from here, technically trespassers” the man spoke bluntly, as he closed his hand around the spear and it disappeared into thin air.

“Ok cool, so where are we?” Kai questioned, as he rubbed his temples.

“As of now, Ivory Kingdom, if you were further into the forest would be the Grove where my sister protects” Shancai spoke as he dragged Vinny to follow him, making sure not to hurt his arm.

“Where are you taking us?” Lloyd asked.

“My mother, she can most likely take you back to wherever you’re from” Shancai replied as he continued walking, he kept Vinny close, glancing at him every now and then, the cameraman stuffed the dagger into his pocket.

“You’re helping us?” Cole asked.

“For now…if I find out you’ve caused trouble in your time of being here I won’t hesitate to change my mind” Shancai replied, as he gave the others a glare.

They continued walking, “I expect a truthful answer when we’re alone…” Shancai whispered quietly to Vinny causing him to take a sharp breathe and nod slightly.

This man definitely knew who Enji and Rida were…Vinny could only hope this man wasn’t working with them…

(I UNDERSTAND VINNY AND SHANCAI HAD A ROUGH MEETING BUT TRUST ME!!! IT WILL GET BETTER IT WILL GET BETTER!!! Also I love Shancai more than all my ocs…he’s so pretty🥺)

As Vinny continued to throw up, hunched over the toilet bowl, his body ached. He couldn’t get rid of the snakes’ touch on his body, it just lingered there and he hated it. His mind spun as he gagged once more, he knew he’d vomited everything up, but he couldn’t stop himself. The taste. The touch. He couldn’t get rid of it…

Vinny sat on the ground for a few more minutes, making sure he didn’t have to vomit once more, but after he was sure he stood up, his legs trembled beneath him as he leaned against the wall for support. The cameraman weakly walked over to the sink before grabbing a toothbrush, he hoped this would get rid of the coppery taste.

As he brushed his teeth, having the taste of minty toothpaste was somewhat relieving as it overpowered the coppery taste in his mouth for a short time. Vinny let out a shaky whimper as he finished brushing his teeth, the taste was still there, but mixed with the mint it was more bearable. His body however felt disgusting, he wanted to scrub off that snakes’ touch, so that’s what he was gonna do.

The cameraman turned on the shower, before stripping his clothes and getting in there. His life was miserable, he was miserable and someone enjoyed him being miserable. He let out a content sigh as the warm water flowed down his aching body.

It was perfect…it was so comforting…Vinny began to scrub his scalp with shampoo, the vanilla scent comforting him, as he tried his best to ignore Rushifas’ touch lingering on him.

As he finished washing the shampoo out of his hair, he quickly put conditioner in, it really softened his hair. Once he finished with that he began scrubbing the parts of his body that the snakes’ touch lingered.

Vinny started with his thigh, harshly scrubbing it till it was red, as much as he wished he could scrub his cheek red, someone would easily notice it and pressure him with questions, so he stuck to less exposed parts to scrub red. He grimaced as the sight of his raw skin, his thoughts flickering to the flesh he was fed, he held back a gag and hunched over instead.

He sighed to himself as he continued to think of his friends…he hoped they weren’t upset at him for snapping. Vinny quickly finished up the shower, wrapping a towel around his waist before going out of the bathroom into the bedroom. The cameraman grabbed a his pajamas he wasn’t gonna do anything else today, he wanted to cry and sleep.

As he finished getting dressed he went back into the bathroom and grabbed the dagger out of his old clothes pocket, before dropping onto the bed. “What does everyone want from me?” He groaned to himself as he thought about Enji, Rida and that snake. He didn’t want to call say her name, he hated her more than Enji at the moment and kinda missed Enji.

It was twisted, Vinny knew that, but Enji wouldn’t force him to eat that, that snake seemed used to eating human flesh, Enji was still a human however a very fucking annoying human, but Vinny knew Enji wouldn’t make him do that. His mind flicked to Rida…he knew the least about him, he was dark and mysterious.

Rids and that snake weren’t friends, but they asked for favours and that snake said that Rida told her not to hurt Vinny. Did Rida know he was here? Did Enji? Everything was confusing and it caused Vinny to let out an annoyed groan as he stuffed his face in the pillow and kicked his legs.

What was he meant to do? He couldn’t protect himself. Couldn’t tell the majority of his friends what was happening. And was being haunted by two people and one snake he didn’t even know existed until recently. “Is all this worth it? Maybe I’m the problem…” Vinny spoke to himself out loud as he rolled onto his back and stare at the ceiling.

“What if it all gets worse? What if-“ Vinny was cut off by soft knocking at the door, was it Willow? Maybe Shancai? Nya? He didn’t want to answer, he wanted to be left alone. The cameraman just sat there, hoping the person there would leave, but the knocking persisted, causing Vinny to let out a defeated sigh before getting up and grudgingly walking to the door and opening it.

“Please, I really wan-“ The cameraman cut himself off as he saw the person there, Deity. She seemed worried, Vinny instantly shut up, he didn’t want to worry her.

Vinny quickly noticed her outfit change, a whitish blue floor long see through mesh shawl that trailed behind her, the ends like clouds? Not fur, quite literally clouds. She was also wearing a dark blue and silver dress, he also noticed she was wearing small rhinestone head chain.

It didn’t look bad at all, and it didn’t seem too uncomfortable, it seemed soft and warm. The dress also seemed like a substitute night gown, something formal yet informal at the same time.

“S-sorry for bothering you dear” Deity spoke up, her voice hinted with guilt and worry, “Willow told me you might want some alone time, but I heard what happened and had to at least check on you” she added, as she looked away anxiously, Vinnys’ expression softened as guilt creeped up his back.

“N-no it’s fine! I’m fine! Honestly…I’m just a bit snappy” The cameraman answered quickly, as he tried to reassure her.

“I was just so caught off guard when I was told what happened…Are you sure you’re alright dear?” Deity questioned once more.

“Y-yea…I wasn’t gonna go in the forest, but I assume Willow told you why I went?” Vinny asked, receiving a soft nod from her.

“Did anything happen?” Deity asked him, before letting irl a soft sigh as she noticed Vinnys’ expression saddened as he looked at the ground, “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to dear”

“I…sorry, I’m just…shaken from what happened” Vinny replied quietly, “B-but I really should talk about it to someone at least before it eats me up…” he added as he looked up at her, giving her a soft smile.

“Would you like to come with me dear? We can talk like last time” Deity offered, Vinny nodded. He did need to talk to someone about what happened. How would Deity react? Deity began walking expecting Vinny to follow which he did as he closed the bedroom door behind him.

The walk there was silent before Deity pushed open the door allowing Vinny in, before closing the door. They sat down on the ground like last time, it was still as comfortable, felt like a cloud. The cameraman sat next to her, it was easier to say stuff when he wasn’t directly in front of someone. “T-thank for this” Vinny spoke.

“No problem dear, you have a lot on your mind” Deity spoke before she took off her head chain and rested it on a circle like thing, “You can tell me whatever you’re comfortable with” she added as she looked at Vinny, her expression holding comfort and love.

“R-right…” the cameraman sighed before taking a deep breath, “When I went in that part of the forest I just heard some hissing…I thought it might be a Serpentine, but which one? I didn’t expect her to come out…” Vinny began explaining as Deity listened intently.

“She-she just appeared out of no where and wrapped me in her tail!” He added as the memory of the snake sprung back into his mind. Vinnys’ breath hitched as he continued to think about what happened.

“Take your time dear…I have no issue waiting” Deity spoke affectionately as she rested her hand on Vinnys’.

“She called me Ridas’ new plaything” Vinny sighed out, Deitys’ eyes widened, but Vinny didn’t notice, “Her and Rids are just on occasional favours basis, right?” He asked.

“Yea…” Deity replied, “They have a hate for the kingdom, which is why they both work somewhat together” she added as she let out a sigh.

“She wanted to know why Rida had his eyes set on me…I told her I didn’t know!” Vinny continued as he hugged his body, the snakes’ touch lingered the more he thought of it, “S-she came behind me and put her head on my shoulder then wrapped her hand around my neck…” Vinny confessed shakily as he voice quietened.

“O-oh dear…” Deity whispered in shock as she looked at Vinny worriedly.

“S-she put her h-hand on my thigh…” he whimpered out, “She asked m-me what Garmadon would think about him seeing me like this, did I mention that Garmadon wanted a break from our relationship?” Vinny asked as began to grow hysterical, Deity shook her head before pulling Vinny into a hug pressing the side of his head against her chest.

“You don’t have to keep going if you don’t want to dear…” Deity spoke softly as she kept Vinnys’ head there in order to comfort him.

“N-no it’s fine…I need to tell this to someone…” The cameraman shakily spoke, as he tried to hold back the tears that welled in his eyes.

“Very well…” Deity sighed.

“S-she grabbed m-meat off a human corpse and told me to e-eat it…” Vinny confessed as his voice broke, as he held onto Deity tightly.

“You didn’t-“ Deity began before cutting herself off as she saw Vinnys’ face, tears beginning to stream down his face. “Oh you poor angel…” she whispered softly as she stroked her hand through his hair.

“I-i hated it…I hate her…it was d-disgusting and I can’t g-get rid of the taste, i-it just lingers” he began to cry softly as he allowed himself to be comforted by Deity.

“As you should hate her…” Deity spoke softly as she took off her long shawl and wrapped it around Vinnys’ body.

“W-when I ate it…she just dropped m-me to the ground and when Willow and t-the others came she k-kissed my cheek and just left to c-catch them off guard…” Vinny confessed once more as he trembled in her arms.

“And you haven’t told them…?” Deity questioned hesitantly.

“H-how can I? T-they’d probably think I’m fucking p-pathetic that I can’t protect myself” he cried in response.

“Your friends love you Vinny…they’d understand…but I also understand why you don’t tell them and I would so the same…” she whispered comfortingly as she continued to baby him.

“I’m so fucking done with this…” he sobbed weakly, “I want it all to stop, I wanna fucking die…” he whimpered our weakly.

“I know dear, I know…and I don’t blame you, but think about who you’ll leave behind” Deity says to him in an attempt to affirm him, as he just laid there in her arms.

“I-I can’t do this anymore…” he whimpered quietly, Deity drew comforting circles on his back and continued to stroke his hair.

“I know…just let it out…” She spoke softly, Vinny continued to cry. He couldn’t control himself, Deity was so motherly and comforting. Before Vinny knew it he was knocked out, fast asleep, due to how exhausted he was. Deity let out a soft sigh and leaned back onto a pillar behind her, allowing Vinny to rest.

“Poor angel…” she whispered to herself as she looked at Vinny, his eyes were puffy, he’s had a hard day.
