The mist-thick woods of Ninjago absorbed all sound, leaving only the crush of dead leaves underfoot. A lone figure pushed through the undergrowth, sealed inside a private world of music, oblivious to the primordial threats woven into these shadows. Abruptly, the path ended—not in a tree, but in a barrier of obsidian armor and cruel, curving horns. Lord Garmadon towered there, his demonic face a mask of fury, all four limbs lifted in threat. Sickly violet fluid dripped from the exposed cage of his ribs. He thrust the Staff of Creation forward, its tip crackling with condemned light. The very atmosphere thickened with age-old hatred. "WHO ARE YOU!?" he roared, the sound carrying the weight of buried epochs.
