Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
i put this on my last acc but uh, the idea that lighting was an element that belonged to wojira
wind, water, and lightning elements have nightmares of wojira, who wants her powers back. Lightning ems have it the worst, wind ems are okay??? and water ems are in between
Libby had these nightmares and she was kinda becoming insane. Jay had already been born and Cliff was scared that Jay might get hurt due to Libby not being in the right state of mind. Knowing, however, that Jay would probably get these insanely realistic nightmares too one day, they were also fearing for others' saftey. So they dropped Jay off at with a couple who lived far away from Ninjago city, the Walkers.
Jay grew up with them and actually didn't get these nightmares until later on in his life, which was around age 9. I also hc Jay to have protothestic legs due to a car accident. After recovering, thats when he got the first nightmare. He never told anyone and he'd usually forget about it later on due to his tendancy to make jokes and stuff, distracting him from the dreams. This is also around the time he started zapping himself when he slept. However, around the 5th season, Lloyd getting possessed, Zane having recently "died", blah blah, he kept dreaming of them. This serpent kept replaying memories of it happening and stuff.
When skybound came along, everything went downhill. Basically everything got worse, he couldnt go a night without having those dreams, and Wu, noticing how Jay would act, remembering how Libby acted, gave him some magic tea. It was the same tea that blocked Libby's nightmares for a while. Basically, it blocked the user's ability to have any dreams. At all. No dreams means no Wojira. Libby used to take it when she was younger. But she stopped due to her actually being allergic to the tea leaves. Lucky for Jay, it worked. He got the tea around season 10, because he was just so anxious during that time (cole fell, the skybound mural just reminding him of all that trauma, etc). So Wu was easily able to tell something was wrong. Now, it's a thing he takes every 5 days.
Thanks for listening to my ted-talk.
