The ninja approach the gates of Cloud Kingdom, with Kai still bickering about the nickname stuff.

"Welcome to Cloud Kingdom. We've been expecting you." A man said, opening the gates.

"Ha, how are we-" Jay got cut off by the man in front of them.

"Standing on a cloud? Easy. In other realms, there are other rules. I'm Fenwick. I've been asked to show you around."

"Nice to meet you. I'm-"

"Kai, yes, we all know. You're quite popular with the other monks. Up here, we see everything that goes on in Ninjago."

"Then you know-"

"You've travelled far for the Sword of Sanctuary. A powerful weapon that can foresee your opponent's next attack. It's also the second clue to finding the tomb of the first spinjitzu master."

"Blimey. But how be you-" Zane got cut off as well, still having the pirate accent.

"Finishing your sentences? I know, it's rather annoying, but up here we know, let's just say...we know what's going to come next. Come, I know Morro isn't far behind. Follow me and I'll explain."

The ninja looked back, as Fenwick walked back into the city.

The Ninja and Fenwick walk into the library, where the monks are writing in scrolls, gasped when they saw the group walking in. "Wow, it's the Ninja."

"I know you're familiar with a few of the Realms. Cloud Kingdom is just one more of the Sixteen Realms that exist parallel to Ninjago." Fenwick informed, as he showed the ninja around.

"Sixteen Realms?" Y/n and Kai asked at the same time.

"In this realm, we strive for greater understanding and let go of distractions. There is no television, no video games-"

"No video games? Hmmph. Not impressed." Jay folded his arms, annoyed.

"It appears all any lad does here be writing." Zane said, making Jay and Y/n stiffle a laugh.

"That is because here, our words matter. You see, in Cloud Kingdom, we are the writers of destiny. It was here that it was decided that Lloyd should be the green ninja. And just now, that Zane should find his voice again."

"I sense my vocal pattern has returned without any repairs." Zane said, in his now, normal voice.

"Ugh! He doesn't talk like a pirate anymore." Jay retorted.

"How'd that happen?" Cole asked, turning to a monk, who was writing something.

"It was written."

"Hey, guys, he's writing about Dareth!" Jay accidentally spills ink on the scroll, of Dareth.

"Oh, poor Dareth!" The monk who was writing about Dareth sighed, as Jay laughed nervously.

"If you know what's going to happen next, then you know how important it is for us to get the Sword of Sanctuary." Kai said, and Fenwick turned around.

"Yes, and I know you made a promise to save your friend Lloyd. Sadly, we cannot ensure promises, because we aren't allowed to choose sides." He went to whisper, "And no one else will tell you this, but we had intended for Morro to stay in the Cursed Realm."

"What do you mean "intended?"" Cole asked.

"He was never supposed to escape. He somehow defied destiny. And now we're playing catch up." Fenwick turned to the earth ninja, "Do you think we wanted you to become a Ghost? That's preposterous. Ever since Morro broke free, things have been happening outside of our control. To be honest, we don't know how this will end."
