The Wanderer

Harmonize

Everyone was gathered in the bridge. The ninja set their sights on a white hologram of the next fangblade thinking of their next action.

I sat at the table in the middle of the room staring at my old album. I felt curious but slightly anxious to open it.

Lloyd wasn't paying attention instead leaning his head on my shoulder as he watched me.

"They got the first one, but there are three more and we just need one to stop Pythor" I listened to Nya speak. "They have a map and we don't, so the question remains, how are we gonna find them first?"

"I still can't get over the fact you were the mysterious samurai, is anyone else blown away like I am?" My brother turned to everyone in bewilderment.

"We're over that can we move in?" Kai barked in a inpatient voice.

"Ooo ooo ooo, someone's a little hot under the collar" Jay retorted with a smug grin on his face.

"It appears his impatience is because he has not found inner peace and unlocked his potential like you and I have Jay" Zane pointed out with a smug smirk.

Kai gritted his teeth in annoyance arguing "Great observation Mr. Roboto, but Cole hasn't found it either."

"I got it!" Cole interrupted.

"You've unlocked it?! Oh why am I the only one?!" Kai shouted in anger.

"No I figured out where I recognize the fangblade from." Cole replied turning on his heel to grab something. "I have a picture of it."

Kai sighed in relief "Oh, haha, is that it? Good..."

"Focus on yourself instead of comparing to others. You'll overheat yourself hothead" I said
aloud not looking up from my closed album but heard the fire ninja grumble.

Cole came back a moment later with a photo gallery album in hand. He set it down on the table opening the pages as everyone gathered around.

Jay snatched the book. "That's it!" He exclaimed as they looked at the page.

"Back where I grew up, there's this pretty big competition, where every year the winner gets the blade cup. My dad's won it multiple times" Cole explained with a fond smile.

Looking away from my closed album I got a look at Cole's album getting a glimpse of the trophy.

"You never told us your dad was an accomplished athlete. What sport?" Zane questioned in simple curiosity.

"Oh he's a, uh a blacksmith" Cole replied looking away hesitantly.

"Nothing wrong with that, my father was a blacksmith too" Kai replied but added in confusion "But I've never heard of a competition..."

"He's not a "Blacksmith" Blacksmith, he's a Royal Blacksmith" Cole interjected flipping the page to show a photo of his dad.

The other ninja started to snicker amongst themselves. "That's your dad?" My brother asked suppressing a chuckle.

"You look a lot like him" I complimented nodding my head as that was the best I could say to him.
