Lloyd and Harumi are stranded in Primeval's Eye looking for the third Oni Mask. Lloyd and Harumi run in the jungle and she trips.
Lloyd helps her up "Come on" They drop into a hole to hide from a Grundle "Phew"
"Are you okay?" Harumi asked
"Yeah. Just need a second" Lloyd replied
"Let me see" Harumi fixes his arm sling "How's that?
"Oh, um. Good. Very close. I-I-I mean, snuggly. I mean, snug" Lloyd said
"Are you sure we're heading the right way?'" Harumi asked
"Pretty sure. If this map is right, there's a river that runs through Primeval's Eye that way. And the river leads straight to the hidden Oni Temple that holds the third mask" Lloyd replied
"Uh, I don't know, Lloyd. Maybe it would be smarter to turn back and try to find the others. I mean, your arm is still pretty bad and we're all alone out here" Harumi suggested
"I'm doing okay. And, anyway, we can't take the chance. If the Sons of Garmadon get to the mask first, they'll have all three" Lloyd said
"Okay, but I want you to rest that arm for a while and let me take a turn" Harumi insisted
-
Harumi and Lloyd continue to trek the jungle.
"Stuck in a palace all your life, did you ever imagine you'd be in a place like this?" Lloyd asked
"Hacking my way through Primeval's Eye? Not so much. But to be perfectly honest, I always dreamed being with you" Harumi replied
"So, according to this, we're almost to the Black River. We just have to get past this part that reads Strangler's Path." Lloyd said
"Did you say Strangler's Path? That's cheery. Why is it called that?" Harumi questioned
Lloyd cut another vine "Places like these always have colorful names. Half the time, it doesn't mean anything. The Caves of Despair, Blind Man's Eye, Hiroshi's Labyrinth. Probably just some bored mapmaker with a wild—"
Something grabs Lloyd
"Lloyd!" Harumi shouted
A knife cam from nowhere and cut the vine ahold of Lloyd. Someone grabbed him and pulled him off the ground and away from it.
He looked up only to see Harumi "how did you-"
"I-I don't know. You were gonna be eaten. I-I got lucky, I guess" Harumi replied
Lloyd looked shocked "Luck? You were clear over here—"
Harumi kisses him "Should I not have done that?"
"No you shouldn't have" he sighs "I guess now we know why they call it Strangler's Path"
"How's your arm?" Harumi asked
"It feels all right now" Lloyd replied
-
Lloyd and Harumi narrowly survive falling off a waterfall. Lloyd and Harumi swam to shore.
"Rumi, we made it" Lloyd said
Harumi sighed "Yeah, barely"
"No. I mean, we made it to the temple. Look." Lloyd points to the temple behind the waterfalls.
