Glacier Labyrinth, Frozen Sea, Frozen Wasteland, Ninjago, Tera

      The search continued, having gone north from the Caves of Despair the Ninja and their Sensei, sailed through an icy labyrinth, on an old ship made of bamboo, the ships mainmast only came up halfway on the glacier walls. The foremast was just inches lower, the mizzen didn't raze higher either. A simple shelter sat above the quarterdeck.

      "I spy something... white!"

      "Ugh. Could you... oh I don't know try to be quiet, for once? Steering this thing ain't easy." Cole replied to Jay's statement, he and Jay stood on the quarterdeck, it's not that he needed quiet to concentrate he just really didn't want to hear the blue ninja's antics anymore. The ship rocked as it had been steered into a burg while the sailor was staring to his left.

      "I spy something broken!" Jay snapped as he gripped the rail.

      Lower on the deck Kai leaned his back against the rail, Zane who stood next to him looked over the rail at the sea as the ship made its way.

      "Sensei was the one to hide the golden weapons," Kai said, shivering trying to rub the cold from his arms, he stood straight. "so shouldn't he be the one behind the wheel steering the ship? I mean we've been drifting aimlessly for kilometers." Kai glanced at the man who stood atop the red dragon nautical figurehead at the bow of the ship, he stood on one leg, arms spread wide, his staff held in his left hand.

      "Sensei's wisdom is beyond my own." Zane replied, directing his attention towards the old man.

      "The most powerful move in  Spinjitzu, can only be accomplished when all four elements are combined." Jumping from his perch he spun around on the deck. "Earth! Ice! Fire! Lightning!" He spat pointing his staff at each Ninja as he listened off their individual elements.

      "Okay cool. But uh what would happen when all of the elements are combined?"

     "The Tornado of Creation." Sensei moves his hands, as if to simulate a rolling motion, suddenly in his right fist was a cup of hot tea. "The power to create something out of nothing." Spinning into action brandished his katana as he struck poses.

      "But if done incorrectly," The red ninja froze and directed our attention back to the old man. "could lead to disastrous consequences."

      "Disastrous consequences. Right..." The ship lurched forward knocking its occupants off balance.

      "Uh... wasn't me!" Cole announced backing away from the wheel.

      "D-did I do that?" A quick whack to the downed ninja's head.

      "No. We are here." The ship had lodged itself on the snowy bank, there was a torii gate made of ice, four more marked the approach to a fortress of ice and snow. The Ninja clambered off the ship walking through the gates toward the fortress.

      The fortress' main room was large and cavernous, spikes and statues of ice, the statues were quite humanoid. They were the Skulkin at least a dozen were frozen in place, eyes seeming to follow.

     "Well... looks like someone's already been here." Cole gave a nervous laugh.

      "The shuriken's!" Shouted the white ninja, in the center of the circular room was a mound of ice, reaching half the height of the room. Atop the mound sat the Shuriken's of Ice planted into the ice.
