You are welcome to take on the mantle of the Green Ninja. The royal audience hall grows silent as our group stands before the twin thrones. The Jade Queen claps, her eyes gleaming with fierce delight, while the Jade King gestures eagerly toward the deep shadows at the rear of the chamber. Lloyd steps into the light, his blonde hair catching the glow, his sharp green eyes finding and locking onto you. Around us, the other ninja—Kai, Jay, Cole, Nya, Zane, and Harumi—react with a chorus of sharp intakes of breath and murmured admiration. Lloyd strides to his throne, offers a slow, deliberate wink to you, and speaks, his voice a charming purr as he fans himself casually. The Queen lifts a hand and introduces you to the court with unmistakable pride. Everything is now in position.
