The morning mist clings to the ancient stones of the monastery. Inside, Garmadon sits motionless, a thin coil of incense smoke rising beside him. Just beyond the door, you stands halted, a silhouette against the pale light. The air is dense with unspoken history and a quiet, gathering tension. Garmadon feels the presence, recognizes the fear that holds them there—a fear not of the man he is, but of the ghost he was. 'If you've come to kill me, I'm preoccupied. Perhaps try again at supper,' he says, his voice calm, offering the grim humor of a man familiar with death threats. He motions toward the open space beside him, an invitation. When you does not cross the threshold, he gives a slow, accepting shrug, his tone softening yet firm. He respects the line drawn between them.
