Past Ninjago reacts

👨🏻‍🦯 Splinter in the blind man's eye 👀 (1)

'There is a man in Ninjago. 

Kai: Yeah, no kidding. There are hundreds of those.

He lives in an abandoned temple near the peak of the highest mountain. 

Kai: ooooohhh, that makes more sense. 

It stubbornly clings to the mountain's steep snow-clad sides. The wailing winds pummel the time-worn rafters in a continuous battle between the cold, the wind, age, and gravity. Yet still, people go to see him. The journey up the mountain is tough and dangerous. How many lives the climb has claimed thus far, one can only guess. 

Jay: I don't think we have to guess what happened to them!

If you encounter one of the visitors by the foot of the mountain, they won't return your greeting. You may notice a determination (or is it desperation...) in their eyes as they stare into the mist that hides the summit. These people call him – the lone hermit in the temple – THE WISHMASTER, though he goes by many names as his tales are passed from one wanderer to the next. 

Everyones eyes are glued to the screen, interested on whats going on.

Those who are brave and foolish enough to make the climb only do so when all hope is lost.

Cole: Why does this sound like something we would do?

Jay: Because it does.

 Drifting through the inns and taverns scattered below the mountain are tall tales and whispers about those who have returned.

Lloyd: Like what?

 About how they have changed. About how these lost souls seem to have returned filled with hope and an all-new purpose. 

Jay: Uhm, are we supposed to find out what this means on our own?

Me: Yes.

But these survivors never once speak about the Wishmaster upon their return home. No one shares the stories of their trials and tribulations faced while up there in the wailing winds. But one thing is for certain: they have changed. Is it worth risking your life for this journey? I would never dare to brave the mountain myself, but I have no doubt it is worth the ascent. If you have nothing to lose, nothing is a very small wager if you can gain everything.'

Zane: That sounds pretty suspicious. 

Cole: you can say that again.

Zane: Thats sounds pretty suspicious. 

Cole: I didn't mean it literally- 

Zane: Oh. Then what did you mean?

Kai: Zane, this isn't your time to be weird. Lets just continue reading.

Or so the legend goes. There's no telling just how many times this fabled ghost story has been passed on from one estranged wanderer to the next. But the look in the kind old lady's eyes who has just passed on the tale once more suggests this tale is one she likes to tell. The distant yet excited gaze in her eyes tells me that she desires to make the climb just as much as the next desperate fool yet knows she wouldn't make it far. I can't help but feel just a little sorry for her. We all carry deep and sincere desires that given the chance to make a reality, one would jump straight in at the mere thought. For me, those desires are far more complex and convoluted than those of the average bystander. My life has never quite known the definition of the world 'normal', but I suppose destiny has slightly grander plans for you when you're the grandson of Ninjago's very creator. 

Lloyd: Hey! It's me. 

I'll never forget the day it all changed, and I was set on a whole new path in life. The day I stormed Jamanakai Village with nothing but empty threats and ancient folk-lore to strike fear into the residents, demanding candy of all things.
