Hanabusa ran up the Wailing Alps, one of the snowy mountains of Ninjago, following a black wolf. The wolf who was ahead suddenly stopped and turned to wait for him.

"Are we almost there?" Hanabusa pants "I'm so tired and the air is thin up here, it's really cold"

The wolf turns around and runs up the mountain.

"Wait up!" Hanabusa chases it

The two reach the top of the mountain and pass through the blind man's eye. Once on the other side they are greeted by a man.

"Greetings" the man bows "I am Fenwick, are you the delegate from Ninjago"

"I am" Hanabusa replies

"We must say, your request was a bit of a startle to us" Fenwick says "we were unaware that there were still guardians in that realm"

"If you know about guardians then you should understand why it is important for me to review this important document" Hanabusa smiles

"Yes" Fenwick turns "please follow me"

Fenwick leads Hanabusa and the wolf to the library. He leads them through a secret chamber until they reach a magnificent door. Him and 2 others use keys to open the door.

"We shall await for you here, guardian" Fenwick bows

Hanabusa and the wolf enter the room before the doors shut behind them. Hanabusa looks around closely.

"Your safe" Hanabusa turns to the wolf

The wolf shifts into Aria and she pulls down her hood.

"I didn't know realms had guardians" Aria says

"They don't" Hanabusa chuckles "these people in cloud kingdom aren't very smart for future writers"

Aria walks around until she finds a certain shelf, the very first shelf. She taps the end of the scrolls until she finally pulls out one and opens it.

The beggining of ninjago starts with the creation of the realm's core, which controls everything within it including the lifeforms. The core is created by the one who will be known as the First Spinjitzu Master. He builds the first city above it, that will be the center of power.

"Hanabusa.." Aria turns to him "the core isn't in Ninjago City.. it's under it"

"No wonder we haven't found it" Hanabusa smiles "Your highness this is great, we know where it is now"

"Well we have a general idea of it, considering all major battles of the ninja and villains have been fought in Ninjago City, it's the center of power" Aria explains

"Then we shall start searching underground" Hanabusa says

Aria puts the scroll back and turns around

"Let's go, we got-" Aria stops when something catches her eye

"Your highness, is something wrong?" Hanabusa asks

Aria turns and faces a shelf that has only a single scroll on it. The end of the scroll has a yin and yang symbol at the end. She walks over to it and carefully picks it up.

"Empress?" Hanabusa looks confused

Aria opens the scroll and begins reading: The final battle of Ninjago between the Green Ninja, Lloyd Garmadon and the Dark Lord, Aria Lord shall take place at the destined realm's core. The battle-

Aria's eyes widens and she closes it. Her heart starts pounding and Hanabusa rushes over to her looking worried.

"What's wrong?!" Hanabusa panicks

Aria quickly puts the scroll back "let's return home"

Aria shapeshifts into a wolf and heads to the door. Hanabusa glances at the scroll on the shelf before following after her.

-

Aria sat in her study staring at the book in front of her. She couldn't focus at all, the same words echoed in her head. The final battle shall take place at the destined realm's core. Aria turns and looks at a family picture of her younger self, her mother, and her father.

Aria sighs "soon.. this'll all end soon mama"
