(Long after the Tournament of Sources)

It was a warm summer day, perfect for going to the beach and taking a dip in the water. You and the Ninjas decided to take a break from all the chaos you've been through since the Merge. So here you are now, enjoying the peaceful day. Lloyd, Kai, Cole, Arin, Sora, Wyldfyre, and Robby (Wyldfyre's boyfriend) were splashing around in the water, occasionally engaging in playful fights with someone trying to pull the other under. Zane and Pixal were also in the water, a little apart from the others, having a romantic moment. Frak, the serpentine, occasionally glanced at Sora with lovestruck puppy eyes while he made a sandcastle with Riyu, the teenage dragon. Nya was sitting under an umbrella with Rogue (Jay) and trying to get him to recover his memory with moments like these.

Finally, Cinder... yes, the Elemental Master of Smoke, who had been arrested and banished from the City of Temples for his past actions. He'd been released from prison, and thanks to you, he'd redeemed himself. At first, it was hard for the Ninja to trust him, but eventually, he proved capable of change, and they accepted him. Kai and Wyldfyre were the ones who took the longest to forgive him. Anyway, he'd also come to the beach with you and the others.

Cinder lay reclining on a lounge chair next to you, his arms crossed behind his head in a relaxed position. For the occasion, he'd put on a pair of loose-fitting blue shorts, along with a black shirt that he'd taken off and left on the back of the chair he was lying on.
