Prologue

A woman with long red hair was sitting on a couch in the small living space of their apartment reading a book, when suddenly a knock at the apartment door disturbed her. The woman walked to the door leaving the book on the couch and opened it, she gasped as to who it was… a woman with dark brown hair. She wore a dark black cloak with red lining and said,

“ Autumn, have you told her yet?” Autumn shook her head saying,

“ Of course not, I can't tell her now, she doesn't even know that her father and I broke up, nor does her brother.” The dark haired woman sighed and said,

“ You have to tell her at some time, about her powers, and about where she got them, I also suggest you tell your son where he got his powers too.” Autumn bit her lip as she said,

“ I just don't know when they will be ready?” The dark haired woman said,

“ I thought the same thing with my nephew but the truth is… no matter what age you think there not ready… they are ready for anything and it's just a good life skill to teach them. Promise me you'll tell them in the next three years.” Autumn looked down and said,

“ Yes, Queen Cliff." With that Queen Cliff put her hood up and walked down the hall. Autumn closed the door and turned around leaning against it and sitting on the white tiled floor. She covered her eyes thinking, I know she's right, I'm just worriedbut both of my kids have always been the strongest out of the family so if anyone can take the shock it's them. With that she stood up, walked through the kitchen and turned right before going into the living room, down, into a hall and turned left, pushing a cracked open brown door open a little wider to see both a young girl with her same long red hair and a young boy with brown hair and golden brown highlights cuddled up together in one of the beds. Autumn smiled at her two children and walked over to them, she kissed both of their heads and whispered,

“ Good night Sky… Good night Conner.”

A Day Of Adventure

Sky ran to the edge of the roof before jumping and landing on the next roof, she then jumped up and started falling through the gap between the next two houses, grabbing onto a clothing line and swinging to the next one before jumping onto a different roof and running along the top. She looked up at the sky and saw the red color that meant it was almost the beginning of a new day. She had spent the night at Eva's apartment and had to wake up early to be back at her own apartment before her mom notices she went out without permission. Sky slid down a roof of another house and jumped to another building but this time grabbed a window seal and pulled herself up through the open window. She took off her black and red hood as she landed in the bedroom. She suddenly heard footsteps coming down the hall and quickly put her finger to her mood bracelet gem changing back into the pajamas she wore that night. Then jumped into her bed, pulling up the covers and turning on her side, facing the wall just as her bedroom door opened. Sky closed her eyes as she listened intently to the shuffling footsteps of her mom's feet against the carpeted floor as she made her way to Sky's bed. Finally, Sky's mom leaned over and kissed the side of her head as she whispered,

I love you Sky, and someday I will tell you about your father.” Sky resisted opening her eyes until she heard the door of her room shut close again, till finally, Sky sat up looking at the closed brown door thinking, My father? What does she mean? 

                                                        ******

A couple of hours later Sky's alarm clock next to her bed went off with the time, eight o'clock on it. Sky reluctantly got up and changed into black leggings with a stretchy side pocket on her leggings and a bright red shirt, then she grabbed her favorite red jacket from her closet and went off to the bathroom. Once she was done brushing her teeth and putting her hair up in a ponytail she walked down the hall and turned right into the kitchen where she went past the dining table with large windows letting the bright morning light. She went to a cabinet and grabbed a box of cereal as well as a bowl, some milk, and a spoon. Once she made her breakfast she went over to the table and sat in a chair with her back facing one of the large three windows. She just took a few bites of her cereal when her brother, Conner came in still wearing his really comfy black pajamas. Sky watched as he made his own breakfast and came to sit right across from her. Sky swallowed her bite of cereal and asked,

“ Sleep much?” Conner shook his head as he swallowed his first bite of cereal. Then he said,

“ As usual I got hyper and stayed up way later than I wanted to. I tried to go to sleep but woke up each time. I'm surprised I didn't wake you.” Sky gave a casual smile as she said,

“ Yeah, surprisingly I slept really good, I slept like a rock.” Immediately when she said it she knew she had gone too far, she never sleeps like a rock. 

“ You went to her house last night didn't you." Asked Conner eyeing Sky suspiciously. Sky sighed loudly as she slumped back against the back of her chair saying,

“ I really wanted to go, she has the movie I've been wanting to watch forever!” Conner gave her a reluctant smile as he said,

“ Fire Moon.” Sky nodded and said,

“ It was amazing!” Conner smiled at her just as their mom came walking into the room saying,

“ Good morning kids. How did everyone sleep?” Sky said,

“ Good.” As for Conner, he sighed and said,

“ I didn't sleep at all.” Sky's mom gave an affectionate sound and came over to Conner kissing his head saying,

“ Maybe you'll just need to take a nap today, and I'll get you some medicine that might help you sleep better.” Then she walked back over to the kitchen and finished making her lunch. Just then her phone rang. Sky watched as her mom picked up the phone, putting it to her ear, and started talking to the person calling. Sky finished her breakfast and put her bowl and spoon in the sink as Sky's mom finished answering the call. Once she finished putting her phone away she said,

“ I just got a call that I'm going to stay late again okay, so I'll leave money for you to buy pizza tonight and then tomorrow since it's a weekend then we can hopefully go to that concert, I'll try to find out if I'm free okay." Then she walked over and kissed the top of both Sky and Conner's head before grabbing her purse and going to the apartment door saying,

“ Have a great day, say hi to Mazie for me Conner, maybe even invite her over for pizza tonight.” Then the door closed and Sky looked over at Conner with a small smirk on her face. Conner looked away but then looked back at Sky saying,

“ Don't tell her any of this okay.” Sky looked away holding her hands up in offense. Once Conner was finished getting dressed they both went out of the apartment and outside into the cool windy air. While Conner headed to Mazie's family bakery, Sky went to the library. There was a book she wanted to check out. 

                                            ******

Sky finally came to the library and immediately went to the section where she saw the book. She quickly grabbed a bright sky blue book with the title in gold words, Ancient Sky Myths. Once Sky checked it out she went out of the library and walked to the nearest alleyway, then once she made sure no one was following her or was watching her she pressed her mood gem on her bracelet and felt a small tingle as she felt her outfit change into her ninja suit. She then quickly jumped up to a window seal then flipped into the sky landing on the roof of a different building. Next Sky sat down, pulling her hood off her face, and started to read the book. Sky suddenly came to a page with the title, Ancient Cloud Kingdom. Sky started reading the first page in her head. 

                                             ******

When Sky finished reading the chapter she thought, I have to try to find it… it says that I need to make a tornado and it will bring me up to the gates. Sky smiled and put the book down, then she flipped her hood back over her head, she put her arms out a little with her elbows still bent and her palms faced up. Then she felt the wind start to blow around her and her face. Sky felt her feet lift off the roof. Then she slowly started to rise up above the clouds.  

Finally, Sky opened her eyes and saw that she was floating in front of a cloud pathway that led up to a golden gate. The gate was guarded by two guards wearing gold armor and spears in their hands. Sky also noticed the guards standing on the clouds. So she slowly lowered herself down to the pathway of clouds. When Sky landed she realized that she was able to stand on the clouds. Sky walked forwards towards the gate and was about to reach out to push open the gate but suddenly the two guards titled their spears blocking the gateway. Sky narrowed her eyes saying,

“ Hey, may I please enter, you both saw me fly up here, I'm an Air element.” The guards didn't move the spears or didn't move their bodies. Sky rolled her eyes and said,

“ Either let me in, or I will be forced to do this the hard way.” The guards didn't move a muscle and Sky smiled as she pulled out her nunchucks saying,

“ Alright, I guess we are doing this the hard way.” With that she walked away from the gate before turning around and running then when she got close she slid under the spears, but when one of the spears came down after her she used her nunchucks to block it. As she slid she kicked open the gates and that's when the guards started to move. Just as Sky stood up one of the guards grabbed her arm, she also saw the second guard sweep his spear towards her feet, but Sky jumped and flipped in the air making the first guard let go of her arm, and fell to the ground. Sky then used her nunchucks to block the second guard's attack with his spear then kicked his stomach. Suddenly just as Sky turned around she saw a spear swinging in towards her head out of the corner of her eye, she leaned back and watched the point of the spear go over her nose just barely. Then she jumped with one foot and twisted her hips kicking the last guard in the head, knocking him out. Sky landed firmly on the cloud pathway and walked through the gates calmly as she put her nunchucks away. She walked up to a bridge made of clouds but stopped as she saw not only an army of more guards but a woman wearing a black cloak with red lining. Sky narrowed her eyes and flipped her hood off her head saying,

“ Okay, sure I made a scene but is this really necessary.” The woman came close to Sky saying,

“ Identify yourself… who are you, who are your parents.. and what do you want?” Sky rolled her eyes, folding her arms saying,

“ The name's Skyler, and I'm the daughter of Autumn Vondrak, I never knew my father, and I'm here to learn about the cloud Kingdom and I don't intend on leaving quite yet.” Sky folded her arms and gave a stern face at the woman who then said,

“ Wait. Did you say, Autumn Vondrak? Sky then said,

“ Yeah.” Then the woman removed the hood of her cloak revealing dark brown hair in a braid and a gold crown around her head with a few strands of hair in her way. The crown was studded with red rubies. Sky eyed her curiously as she said,

“ I am Queen Cliff, ruler of the Cloud Kingdom and I am very happy your here… although, how did you get passed the guards? They normally don't let anyone in unless they know you." Sky stepped aside for Queen Cliff to see both of the guards lying on the ground. Queen Cliff looked from the guards to Sky asking,

“ You did that? But how?” Sky pulled out her nunchucks and said,

“ Uh… I fought, using these nunchucks and my body.” Queen Cliff eyed Sky and said,

 “ You said you didn't know who your father was?” Sky nodded saying,

“ Yes… do you know him?” Queen Cliff turned to the guards saying,

“ It's okay guards, she's one of us, you can go back to your posts.” With that, the guards departed and Queen Cliff turned back to Sky saying,

“Let's go for a walk, I think it's time you knew about the other side of your past.” With that, she led Sky over the bridge saying,

“ I am surprised that your mother finally let you learn about this place.” Sky quickly said,

“ She doesn't know I'm here, and how exactly does she even know about this place, she doesn't-” Sky stopped herself as she started to fit things together in her head. Sky suddenly looked up at Queen Cliff saying,

“ My mom is an Air Elemental like me? That means I got my powers from her, which also means she grew up here! Holy moly!” Sky smiled brightly at Queen Cliff who gave a less hyper smile and said calmly,

“ Yes, now since you are her daughter It would be my honor if I could show you around.” Sky smiled and said,

“ Lead the way, your majesty.” With that Queen, Cliff walked from the bridge down another cloud pathway talking about which cloud buildings where which. 

                               ******

Finally, Sky was led to a building that Queen Cliff said,

“ This is our training center, we used to be attacked by dragons until an ancient truce came along and we never needed it again…” Queen Cliff turned to face Sky saying,

“ You know Sky when I heard the news that someone was fighting the guards at the gate, I thought I would need an army and it turned out that if you where a bad person, which your obviously not, that I probably would have to send them all, but I was wondering… How did you manage to take down two guards at the same time?” Sky shrugged and said in reply,

“ Well, for starters… I'm a ninja, I have lived my whole life down in the world below these clouds and have protected the citizens of that world with the help of my friends who are also ninja’s. We protect the citizens from bad people, a few crooks, some robbers, theifs, a Witch, some ghosts, a few desert pirates, and recently the son of the royal family.” Queen Cliff blinked, astonishingly before opening her mouth to speak and saying,

“ Okay, so you are not just one ninja, there are more?” Sky shrugged again and said,

“ Me, and my friends…” Queen Cliff's expression slowly changed to a smile and said,

“ Please go on, I want to hear all about your ninja friends and your adventures.” Sky smiled brightly and said,

“ Well, I am of course the Air ninja… my brother, Conner is the night ninja, he so happens to be dating our friend Mazie who is the sun ninja, Endral the nature ninja is now dating one of the family members in the royal family, the eldest son, Justin, and then there's Jordan the stealth ninja, super sneaky, then our leader Eva, is the mist ninja. We met a couple of other ninja's who've helped us a couple of times, Searah and Basil, who are sisters, Searah the water ninja and Basil the Stealth ninja…” Sky continued all till they came to a large palace made of not clouds like the rest of the village, but of pure red rubies with blue sapphires scattered among the palace. The doors and top of the towers where made of gold, and it shined brightly in the sun. Sky was led into the palace and finished talking just as they where about to enter the throne room. Once the large golden doors opened Sky gasped as she saw the beautiful gold throne with red and blue gems studded along the top of the backseat. Queen Cliff walked up to her throne saying,

“ Thank you Sky for that thrilling tale, I might even want to interview your friends sometime.” Sky smiled and said,

“ It would be my honor, but if you don't mind I would like to take a look around and go see some of the buildings you showed me.” Queen Cliff gave a small nod. Sky smiled and turned to head out of the palace when suddenly the doors opened and in came a woman with the same dark red hair as Sky, and wearing a red robe with blue and gold floral designs on it. The woman held a scroll in her hands saying,

“ Your majesty, sorry to burst in on such short notice but, we just received word that an intruder is headed our way.” Queen Cliff, looked at Sky held her hands up offensively saying,

“ The youngest son in the royal family, Rhun, is the only person I knew had my power before I found out about this place! I swear!” Queen Cliff sighed and said,

“ Alright, I would like it if you lead my guards to go see what it is, then send a few guards back to report, if the threat is indeed coming, I want you and the guards to stop it.” Sky nodded and was about to head out when she finally caught a good glimpse of the woman, the woman was actually… her mother. Sky looked at her mom and said,

“ Mom? Is that you?” Her mom looked up from her scroll and said,

“ Sky? I- what are doing here? Did you follow me, how did you even get here, what are you wearing!?" Sky walked towards her saying,

“ Mom! I have your air elemental abilities, okay… and I found a way to get up here, and no I did not follow you, and what I am wearing… it's kind of hard to explain… we will talk about this later, right now I need to obey our queen.” With that, she ran off pulling her hood over her head as she said to a nearby guard,

“ Alright, time to do your job, we've got a threat to take care of… I just hope those two guards are ready for round two.” With that, she ran out of the castle and back to the golden gates where sure enough a black cloud was coming straight for the gates. Sky narrowed her eyes and said,

 “Alright, get ready guys…” 

Suddenly the black cloud landed on the white cloud walkway, and to Sky's surprise it turned the white clouds to grey rain clouds, and the black clouds started to part for a man with dark brown hair wearing a dark navy blue cloak with light gray lining. He looked right at Sky and said,

“ Well, I wasn't expecting a welcoming party from any of you… especially you, Sky. It's nice to finally see you again.” Sky narrowed her eyes at the man and said,

“ Why me? I don't even know you?!” The man gave an evilish smile and said in a cold, and hard way…

“ You should know me Sky, because… I am your father.” Sky's eyes turned from intense and confident to shocked and unbelieving.

A Family Treat

Sky pulled her hood off her head and said,

“ Dad? Wha- what happened to you?” Her dad gestured to himself saying,

“ Do you not like what I have done to myself… I have turned my cloud upside down, and have chosen a more powerfull path… come and follow me down the same road and we will work together as father and daughter.” Sky narrowed her eyes once again and said,

“ No! I won't, even if you are my father, I won't have you use that against me!” Her dad gave a rather loud chuckle and said,

“ Oh, I don't expect our family relationship to get in the way of our battle, but maybe… this will?” Suddenly tenticle like things made out of the same black cloud lifted around him, and in their grasp where Conner, Mazie, Endral, Eva, and Jordan all trying to wiggle free. Sky gasped but quickly turned cold again and said fiercly,

“ You give my brother and friends back right this instant!” Her father smiled and said,

" Oh, but I don't have too, after all I am the parent… you the child, and astonishingly, your friends where quite easy to catch, considering that they are all secretly your little ninja friends!' Sky narrowed her eyes even more as she heard her father say,

“ I can tell in your eyes that it does bother you, that I have been secretly watching you and your friends from above… I am quite the stealth ninja… aren't I… Jordan?” He added bringing Jordan around to see him. Jordan just narrowed her eyes until he hid her back behind him. Sky said again,

“ I will say this one more time! Let them go right now!” Her father shrugged and said,

“ Alright, if you want them that badly? I guess I'll let them fall… to their death!” Suddenly Sky's father let go of her friends and Conner, and since they weren't Air elementals they fell right through the clouds. Sky stepped forwards saying, 

“ Conner!… Guys use your flight suits!” Suddenly her father said,

“ Oh, and those little bracelets that you wear… they really are quite noticable, I suggest you find something more hidden.” Sky looked up and saw in her fathers hands where all five of her friends mood bracelets. Sky's eyes went wide as she started to run at her father before jumping passed him down through the air after her brother and friends. As she fell she saw the five figures of her friends falling through the sky. 

“ Hold on everyone! I'm coming!” With that she put her hands behind her and made wind push her down faster so she was able to get to her friends. Finally, Sky came next to Jordan and said,

“ Alright, everyone… get ready!” Suddenly Sky positioned herself so her feet where falling down first then closed her eyes and concentrated on listening to the wind in her ears and started to make small tornadoes that slowly drifted the group down slowly. Finally they landed on a roof in the city. Sky fell to her knees, breathing heavily. Conner and Mazie both came over to help her up, and just as she looked up she saw Jordan come over to her saying,

“ You know what Sky… now I know exactly where you get your intensity from… Your father is a mainiac!” Sky continued to breath heavily before saying,

“ Listen! I never even knew he was a mainiac! I never even knew my father had the same element as I did!” Suddenly she felt Conner tap his finger on her shoulder and Sky turned to face him with still her mad, glaring eyes staring at him as she said sternly,

“ What!?" Conner said calmly,

“ Actually, I found out that he's got both night and Air powers, both from our grandparents.” Sky gave him a confused look with one eyebrow up and the other going down, scrunching her nose in a weird lopsided way, till finally she threw her hands in the air saying,

“ Do you actually think I want a history lesson right now after I just found out that our father is some kind of crazy, lunatic, air, night, evil guy, kidnapping his own son, and my friends! Uhhhh!” Finally Sky turned around and walked over to the other side of the roof and looking out of the edge with her arms crossed. Right then her mind was filled with hurtfull words and she tried to clear her mind but it just didn't work. Just then Mazie came over putting her hand on her shoulder and asking,

“ Sky… you okay?” Sky looked at Mazie and said,

“ Actually, I feel a little better but I'm just so stink'n mad at my dad who turns out to be an evil rain cloud person! He captured you guys and just basically threw you to your deaths.” Eva smiled and walked over saying,

“ Yes, but we didn't die, because you came after us.” Jordan then said,

“ Yeah, I'm atleast glad that we have one Air element on our side.” Sky then remembered that they don't know about her mom, so she said,

“ Yeah… I forgot to mention that… My mom is another Air element and she is a messanger to the queen, thats her job, and she saw me as a ninja, I still have to tell her that I'm a ninja, Conner I'm not going to say anything about you so don't worry.” Conner sighed and said,

“ Sky, calm down… She deserves to know the full truth… about all of us.” He added gesturing to the rest of the group who all moved to stand next to Conner. Sky sighed and said,

“ Alright, but I want you guys to stay and protect the citizens.” Jordan narrowed her eyes and folded her arms saying,

“ Now don't think we'r going to let you off so easily, we want in on some of the fighting. Okay we may not have our masks but we still want to help fight, we still have our powers and we still know how to fight.” Sky sighed and smiled before moving with her arms out saying,

“ I'm glad I have you guys on my side.” Then everyone gave her a large hug, before departing and Sky flipped her hood back over her face and looking up at the sky saying,

“ Look out father… because I'm ready for round two!” With that they floated up back to the cloud kingdom. Once they arrived, the battle was still going on, far from the front gate so Sky and her friends where able to sneak in but Sky had to keep her friends floating otherwise they would fall right through the clouds. Sky went immediatly to Queen Cliff saying,

“ Your majesty, it's important, I need you to find a way my friends can stand on the clouds, once they can stand by themselves I will tell you the report.” Queen Cliff immediatly had a spell book brought to her saying,

“ We don't usually use this anymore but before we went into hiding there was a spell that guests would be able to use so they could walk on clouds… ah, here, A world above all, neither space nor ground, to walk is to fall, but to fall is to fly.” Suddenly Sky felt a gust of wind blow passed her and watch as the wind turned different colors as they started to swirl around each of her friends. Green for Endral, yellow for Mazie, black for Conner, purple for Eva and a little darker of a gray for Jordan. Sky released them from the tornadoes that made them hover in the air. Finally Sky said,

“ Alright, your majesty, these are my friends that I told you about, my brother Conner, his girl friend, Mazie, Endral, Eva our leader and Jordan who can disappear.” Sky then said,

“ Now it turns out that the threat is real, the guards are batteling a black cloud who is really our evil father, and he captured my friends and threw them, I am having a couple of my friends stay and protect your people, while the rest of us, including me go and talk some sense into my father, maybe even give him a mark to remember us by." Queen Cliff nodded and said,

 “ You have my permission to leave.” With that Sky turned around and said,

“ Eva, Jordan and I will take on dad, while Conner, Mazie and Endral will protect the people. Get it, got it… good.” With that they started to walk out, when suddenly someone behind them said,

“ Sky! You still have some explaining to do!" Sky bit her lip as she turned around saying,

“ Oh… right… Um, mom… The truth is…” She started to walk towards her mom before saying,

“ I'm a ninja, and so is Conner and my friends… please don't be mad at us?" Sky's mom folded her arms saying,

“ Well, I would love to know why you didn't just tell me?” Sky sighed and said,

“ Alright, we didn't tell our families because we didn't want you to get involved in any fights, it would be too dangerous, plus it would protect us too.” Finally her mom wrapped her arms around Sky and whispered in her ear,

“ I'm so proud of you….” Conner came to join them and she added,

“ Both of you.” Sky felt complete, like she didn't have to hide anything. Suddenly Sky felt the ground shake and she released herself from her mom saying,

“ Mom, you help protect the queen, let us ninja's handle the rest.” With that she ran off. 

                                                    ******

Sky came to the gates and saw the guards still batteling her father a little ways away from the enterance and Sky turned to both Eva and Jordan saying,

“ Alright, Jordan… you sneak up behind him, Eva you and I will distract. Jordan try and get your bracelets back, then come and help us free my dad.” With that they started to run and jump on the clouds towards the fight. Finally Sky came over and said,

“ Hey dad! I have a message for you!… Stop being like this! Be a good person not part of an evil rain cloud!" Then she came over and jumped into the air, extending her leg into a sidekick.The kick hit her dads side and he grabed it not prepared for Eva to grab out her whip and use it to wrap around his legs bringing them together and making him fall. Sky's dad looked at Sky who bent down over him saying,

“ Why are you like this?” Her dad gave her a smile and said,

“ I am more powerful than I was before.” Sky narrowed her eyes and said,

“ But look what you've become, nothing but a rainy cloud!”Her father then said,

“ Fine… I'll go, but beware… I will return with a new power that will destroy everything you love… starting with your friends!” Sky narrowed her eyes trying not to let her fear show. Finally her father was surrounded by black moving clouds again and simply slipped right through Eva's whip and fell through the sky. Sky on the other hand stormed off towards the kingdom again in hopes of finding a way to let her anger out. Immediatly she knew where she needed to go. 

                                               ******

She quickly went into the training hut and saw multiple dusty target bags and dummy's, including moving cylinders with pegs sticking out of the side that would pop up and down at any sudden time. Sky went straight to the moving cylinders and started by jumping and landing on one hand then just as the next cylinder was coming up she jumped back on her feet and quickly did a back flip and falling down farther than she expected on the next cylinder, but when she met it she quickly jumped twisting her body like a barral and land on her hands again before jumping again and tucking her legs in tight to her stomach, as she flipped over the last two cylinders. As she landed she saw a button on the wall with a label next to it that read, Peg Dodging. Sky pushed it and watched as the cylinders rose all the way to the ceiling and started turning in circles. Sky narrowed her eyes before running and flipping over a few and landing on her feet before quickly twisting her body and giving a small hop forwards then she rolled and dived over more pegs. Sky's eyes where fully focused on what she was doing that she didn't notice a boy about her age peek in and see what was going on. Finally, Sky jumped, barrel rolling in the air and landing on one foot before jumping and turning her body straight, into a flip with her legs tucked in and sticking the landing over the last few pegs. Sky flipped her hood off over her head letting her face breath with sweat dripping from her brow. She put her hands on her hips in an exhausted way and started to breath heavily, just then as she started to turn around she heard someone clapping from the doorway she quickly flipped her hood back up and put her guard up, it wasn't until she realized it was just a boy that she relaxed and took her hood off aswell as her guard. Instead she walked towards the boy and asked,

“ Uhh… how long have you been standing there?” The boy shrugged and said,

“ Long enough to see how amazing you where! Can you teach me how to do that?” Sky eyed him suspiciously and asked,

“ Okay… first of all, who are you?” The boy stood up straight and said,

“ Oh, sorry, I'm Peter Marag” The boy had dark brown hair and wore a bright blue shirt with black pants with a red line on the side. Sky folded her arms and said,

“ Nice to meet you Peter, I'm Sky, Sky Vondreak. What were you even doing here?” Peter smiled calmly and said,

“ Oh, well, I saw those things spinning and wondered why because no one has used this place in years!”Sky sighed and said,

“ Well, we might need this place again because apparently I just found out that my dad is evil and is planning to attack this place so I need to be prepared.” Peter eyed her suspiciously, and raising his eyebrow before saying,

“  Wait are you some sort of spy, or…” 

“ Ninja… I'm an Air ninja.” Peter nodded and said,

“ Well, Sky the Air ninja, think you'll be as skilled as me?” Sky smiled and said,

“ Oh so you think your better than me?” Peter gave her a small nod and Sky gestured one hand to the spinning pegged cylinders saying,

“ Alright lets see it." Peter looked at her saying,

“ Uh, no, not that… I have something even better.” With that Peter walked in and pressed a different button on the other side of the room in the right corner revealing the wall to split apart and move revealing a hidden room with multiple trees and bushes aswell as a bunch of vines. Sky walked over and said,

“ Alright, what is this place?” Peter smiled saying,

“ This my friend is the Vine dodge.” Sky rolled her eyes saying,

“ Wow, I wonder what you'll be doing?” Peter rolled his eyes at her saying,

“ There are not only vines that you must dodge, but arrows, nets and covered pits. Now I am the only person who has ever completed it in a little less than seven minutes, so if you can top my score then I will defenitly be impressed.” Sky smiled and pulled her hood over her face saying,

 “ Alright, lets do this thing.” With that she ran into the jungle room and immediatly jumped and tucking her legs into her chest to avoid a group of arrows that shot from a tree, then Sky continued on her way. She had to dodge multiple vines that tried to grab her, but she eventually got passed them by tying them up making it impossible for them to move. 

                                                     ******

Sky finally saw the end in view and smiled brightly, as she quickly twisted her body into the air as the ground beneath her fell once again and rolled under another group of arrows till finally she came to the other side, which on the gray wall was a bright red button, Sky pressed it and suddenly saw the ground below her move, she was now standing on a floating piece of concrete that flew her safely passed the blocked arrow shooting rocks and trees and drifted through the non moving vines. When she got back to where Peter was standing she jumped off and took off her hood asking,

“ So? How did I do?” Peter who was timing her the whole time with a stop watch said with wide eyes,

“ Four minutes and twenty seven seconds! It's impossible!” Sky folded her arms together and leaned on one hip saying,

“ I guess it's not impossible if I just did it.” Peter put his hands on his hips saying,

“ Nice job Sky, I look forward to doing this stuff with you again soon.” With that he turned around and started to head out of the training hut.
