The ninja, P.I.X.E.L, Misako, and Master Wu walk through the palace following Kaname, they were summoned by Aria.
"I hope this sudden summon by the Empress haven't disturbed you ninja" Kaname glances at them
"No no" Cole says "we're all fine, I was only playing video games"
Lloyd sighs "they're happy they didn't get stuck cleaning with me"
"this guy doesn't seem to like us very much" Nya whispers to the other ninja
"That's cause we take her on dangerous journeys" Jay whispers back
Kaname opens the doors to the throne room where Aria sat in her throne talking to Hanabusa. Hanabusa says something and Aria laughs.
Kaname clears his throat "Empress Aria, Hanabusa"
Aria immediately sat up straight in her throne and Hanabusa stood at attention looking nervous. The ninja held in a laugh, the Empress and her guard were caught slacking off.
"I have brought the ninja" Kaname smiles
"Ah thank you" Aria waves him over
Kaname bows and stood at Aria's other side, opposite from Hanabusa. The ninja and Master Wu bow to Aria before standing before her.
"I'm sorry to have called you all here" Aria says "I'm sure you guys are busy after the recent events happening in Ninjago, Aspheera's invasion, your trip to the Never-Realm, and getting stuck in Prime Empire"
"It's no issue at all Empress" Wu smiles "Why have you summoned us?"
"You have been invited to Shintaro" Aria holds up a letter
Hanabusa takes the letter and hands it to the ninja.
"Woah" Kai stares at it "this is incredible!"
"Are you sure this isn't a mistake?" Nya asks
Jay gasps "It's real! It's gotta be! It's addressed to us, look!"
"It is highly unusual" Zane says
"Ooh, we gotta get ready!" Jay shouts excited
"Shintaro?" Lloyd questions "as in Shintaro the Ivory City?
"As in the remote and exclusive mountain kingdom of Northern Ninjago" P.I.X.A.L explains
"Invitations to Shintaro are exceedingly rare" Zane adds "In recorded history, there have only been a handful of outsiders allowed into the Ivory City"
"I've heard it's incredible! It's the most beautiful city in the world. And the people have wings. Haha! You can't beat wings." Jay says
Aria crosses her legs looking amused.
"When will you tell them?" Hanabusa whispers to her
"soon" Aria replies
"What's it say?" Lloyd asks "The invitation"
"Ahem" Jay clears his throat and reads "King Vangelis of the Northern Kingdom of Shintaro of the Sky Folk, kindly requests your presence" he smiles "of course he does" the ninja shake their heads "as honored guests, oh that makes sense, to celebrate the birthday of the princess, Vania."
"Princess Vania. Who's that?" Cole asks
"Apparently, the daughter of King Vangelis" Nya replies
"Little is known about Shintaro. Up until recently, it was still considered a mythical place" Zane says
"Well, it looks like we're gonna see it. In person!" Jay shouts
The ninja cheer.
"Master Wu, this is just what you need. This will get you out of your funk!" Lloyd says excited
