Pebble sat down as his desk, the brush leaving soft strokes on the paper underneath it. The young dragon looked at the green ink, something Nezha got for him after he said that the black one was boring. Pebble smiled slightly.

He looked at the window, getting distracted from his homework by thoughts.

Pebble was supposedly to grow up into a powerful dragon. But he didn't feel like it. Well, certainly others besides Nezha didn't make him feel like it. Celestial realm seemed to be so full of contradictions. On one hand they act cautious around him because of his supposed powers, on the other they treat him as a literal infant. Sure, he wasn't 10000 something years old, but he was ten not two, at least make a distinction there.

His eyes darted to his crutches laying nearby. Oh, right... also that. He heard Li Jing's... unsavoury words about him. He argued with Nezha a lot these days... Something about Nezha being too soft on the dragon, and that they should push him to do more. Pebble understood that, to some degree. But maybe going against what the doctors say isn't a good idea?

The Lotus Pond Dragon, unable to walk because his egg was damaged... Sure, Pebble wasn't happy about this either! He wished he could do more! But not at the cost of possibly making things worse... And well, due to his powers being unstable yet still, there's no chance of fixing him with magic. He had to work what he had.

...... But... ...Was he doing enough? He looked back at the paper, quickly going back to work. He wanted to make Nezha proud. He can prove himself. The celestials will see, In due time... He's already very smart, smarter than average for his age. And he was proud of that... Nezha was proud...

He smiled, glancing out the window again, admiring the clear sky and listening to the birds, before going back to writing.

Suddenly, he heard... um, was that a knock? Or more like a bang at the door? Pebble frowned before grabbing his crutches and coming over to the door, carefully turning the handle and...

Nezha falls through the door, falling on the floor. The young Lotus Pond Dragon gasps in fear and shock, looking at the battered Nezha wide-eyed. He didn't have much time to think before something grabbed him-

''There you are, young one. Now I can finally take back what they took from me...''

Pebble's world stopped, his heart thundering in his ears, his breath shaky. What was going to happen now? This was bad. Very, very, very BAD.

Pebble:

Nezha found Pebble as an egg, and Nezha was the first person Pebble saw when they hatched and imprinted on him. Nezha was reluctant, but in the end he gave in and adopted them and kept Pebble as his student.

Nezha actually didn't name them, just called him the little lotus pond dragon. Until someone asked Nezha what the name of the kid was, and he panicked, but Pebble exclaimed pebble loudly, and Nezha had to go with that.

Also, Pebble's egg was damaged, so his legs are damaged too and don't work that well, so that's why he has to use crutches.

Pebble is around 10 years old now, and tries his best to make Nezha proud.

Xīnghuā:

Xinghua aka a silly shadowpeach fan child that mostly just a silly goober who has the defense skills of a potato.

She's 7 but that doesn't mean she's hasn't had her fair share of trauma, from as little as being kidnapped to almost being killed by her older brother, Fu Xiao (endipuff on tumblr) and having her arm broken! Dont worry though, she can still kick ass because she is the Long Arm Gibbon (insert OSP as source here), she can make a sword out of no where to stab anything she wants... except she won't because she's a little shy.

"Red! Where are yo- Oh, there you are..." {Niko}

"... What is it, Nezha?" {Haí'er}

"Just checking on you, seems you've outdone yourself again." {Niko}

"What are you doing up here? I bet it was that commotion about your Captain lacking again huh?" {Niko}

"Don't even start with that... I'm actually glad i don't have my powers, it would've been the last of this place." {Haí'er}

"Pfft..." {Niko}

"Sooo... You're actually one of us now, how was the exam? Lose any parts of your body or scalp?" {Haí'er}

"Exam?" {Niko}

"... Y'know, the Entrance exam? Hunt void entities to pass or be hunted and fail?" {Haí'er}

"... I was just, signed in immediately" {Niko}

"... What." {Haí'er}

"Yeah, apparently the director knew who i was despite my disguise and fake name, and then she just, signed me in" {Niko}

"..." {Haí'er}

"I want to say a slur, but the surveillance recorders might catch it so... hhhhhuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh..." {Haí'er}

"Well besides that, seems like your Captain is at ends meet.." {Niko}

{Crash noises}

"NO, NO FATHER- FATHER PLEAAAASE, NOT THE PILLOW ROOM, ANYTHING BUT THE PILLOW ROOOOOM 😭" {Guizhong}

"The pillow room? sounds like a... weird way to call a detention room" {Niko}

"Oh it's more than just a detention room, It's basically a sort of torture chamber" {Haí'er}

"TORTURE? That- It's just cruel! I thought this place wouldn't do something like that!" {Niko}

"Oh well, you should've seen the entrance exams... when i get up the ranks i'm definitely changing that first.. Oh and, The torture chamber is gonna be the least of your concerns" {Haí'er}

"Why did you try to comfort me about something so cruel and heinous so nonchalantly?!" {Niko}

"No seriously it's not what it is... plus it's literally only there for when the Captain starts acting up like an immature child.. Like, that guy tried to flirt with me a dozen times, he can't take no for an answer..." {Haí'er}

"??.." {Niko}

"He's 89" {Haí'er}

"And?" {Niko}

"WDYM 'And' I'm 520 years old, that's like- SO FAR AWAY- I'M HIS SUBORDINATE" {Haí'er}

"... I'm starting to think about something about a script wasn't thought through enough, and was made under 20 seconds while catching up on a deadline.." {Niko}

{Loud banging on the metal door}

"LET ME OUUUT, THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLEEEEE, Where's the spikes?! The stretcher?! Where's the tortureeeee?!" {Guizhong}

"Captain Jiangguō, It's time for your 15th rejuvenation therapy ^^" {Staff}

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...." {Guizhong}

"Wh... Rejuvenation??? That's not... torture??" {Niko}

"Well to him it is... He's a hardcore masochist... It's concerning i know, that's why he's given therapy... frequently..." {Haí'er}

"... Oh" {Niko}

"Oh right! That reminds me" {Niko}

"???" {Haí'er}

"Did you meet up with Yeva again? I heard she's back in Megapolis a-" {Niko}

"Yeah uh... sure... sure we met..." {Haí'er}

"Aha yeah... I had to help her get out of there... The celestial court was planning to do something with her... bad things.." {Niko}

"Wh.. huh?" {Haí'er}

"Yeah... At first it seemed fine when they were helping her train to control her flow of energy... but when that didn't work, they forced these, repression binds on her, in the form of shackles on her arms..." {Niko}

"They... The iron shackles on her arms, was that what it was?" {Haí'er}

"You've seen what it did to her didn't you... Yes it, somehow helped with Yeva's chi drain problem.. but it robbed her of being able to express any emotion, they made it so that she would be... some... obedient doll. They were even planning to use her like a weapon, that's when they crossed the line, I had to get Yeva out of the Celestial Realm... She can't return to Chang'e because they know she'd go there first, but she knew that already so.." {Niko}

"...." {Haí'er}

"I assume she went to you first... she must have been so happy to see you again... Father took away her phone the day her training started.. She was really upset when she couldn't speak with you again, or even just a text, She really missed you." {Niko}

"......" {Haí'er}

"Did she say anything while making her way back? I would assume she was scared of being all alone but i know she's a brave one... Red?" {Niko}

"... no..." {Haí'er}

"?... Redson?" {Niko}

"No..no..no..nonono...no" {Haí'er}

"Nephew? What's wrong-" {Niko}

"What have i done?!" {Haí'er}

Haí'er looked distressed, he contacted The Logistics Unit through his Focus (ps, still working on the name for the earpieces used by Aspirants...)

"hyperventilating ... Tian! I need you to find someone for me!" {Haí'er}

"R-Redson? Where are you going- Red!"
