" Our ancestors realized that if this kept going eventually two would rise to be so powerful that their fight would destroy the world as we know it. So to prevent this our ansectors figured out a simple solution, destroy power, this way nothing more powerful can rise and bring destruction. So the alpha at the time along with a handful of the pack came to the most powerful warriors in the land, the elemental masters. Our ancestors told them of this doom that would come if they would not give up their elemental powers. The elemental masters of the time refused, saying that our ancestors were crazy and out of their minds. Alpha of the time told them they would regret their choice and they left them. To prove the truth to the elemental masters Alpha freed a monster from the Underworld. It attacked the elemental masters, however after defeating it the elemental masters discovered it was our ansectors who freed the monster. Hungry for revenge the master of fire at the time gathered a group of other elemental masters and raided the forest in the late morning when the pack slept. He burned the forest and the others slayed our ansectors like animals. The ironic thing was they didn't just use their elemental powers to do the job either, most of our kind were lost to the sword and the fire that spread throughout the forest. Once the elemental masters thought our ansectors were all gone they raided what remained of their homes and left. It was said that when the other elemental masters heard of this they were horrified, they took the group's powers by force and banished them to the Cursed Realm. The only survivors were two of Alpha's sons and the wife of the older brother. The three of them went into hiding and the younger brother met and married a human. Time pasted, the older brother had twelve children and the younger had three, this was the beginnings of the new pack. "
Whoawhoawhoa-- previous Master of Fire? As in, Ray, Kai and Nya's dad? Ô.O
Further back then that, this master of fire in the story got banished to the Cursed Realm.
" Our ancestors let humans who seemed trustworthy into the pack as well, to be safe the ranks were made to keep new members in check. In later years our ansectors tried to find those who were descended from the wolves who left to join the humans with the First Alpha. Over time we lost our ability to transform into our wolf form because of so much human blood, but that doesn't mean we haven't tried our best to keep the bloodline alive. It is the pack's rule that whoever is purest of blood is the alpha. The line of the alpha is always carefully watched and whoever is alpha takes on the name Alpha. However, to humble the new pack members, the students, it is law that they call the alpha master, because he is their teacher. Our ancestors still knew about the problem with the balance though, so the pack took it upon themselves to make sure there was a limited amount of powerful people in Ninjago. They couldn't just go after people in broad daylight though, so they did assassinations at night and humanely got rid of thier prey while they slept. However they could not risk being revealed, so they kept to up most secrecy and would only go after people once a month. We do the same to this day. We're not always successful though, many times people wake up or something happens that forces us to call it off and try next month. We useally go for elemental masters, sorcerers, spinjizu masters, or thier family members or close friends who could inherit powers. " Zephyr had question. " You say sorcerers, what do you mean? " " Have ever heard of the sorcerer Clouse? " Asked Alpha. " A little. " repiled Zephyr. " Like him. " " Why aren't there any sorcerers around anymore? " She asked. " What do you think? " Asked Alpha. Zephyr felt sickened as she realized the truth. **
" I was born shortly after the Serpentine War. When I was grown I married my wife Alfida, you're grandmother, and years later we had your father. Now not to many years after your father was born the unexpected happened, the ninja rose to fame out of nowhere and not long after that most elemental masters came out in the open. My father was still alpha at the time, and fearing for the pack's safety he called off all assassinations. The ninja fought powerful foes and Ninjago was nearly destroy on several occasions like our ansectors said. I tried to convince my father to put an end to the ninja before the world fell apart, but he would not listen to me. I might have tried to take matters into my own hands if I didn't respect my father, or if I wasn't trying to raise my son right in a world that treated the ninja like movie stars. Instead though, I planned for when I would become alpha. Twenty seven years ago I became alpha after my father's death, on the day of my coronation Gamma received a prophecy and gave me detailed instructions how I could not only destroy all powerful humans, but also restore the pack's former glory. It will all begin when an asteroid comes, in the meantime we must gather aurora minerals, the full plan was only shared with myself, Gamma, Alfida, and your father, who at the time was about thirteen. Now we prepared, and even added the asteroid symbol to our capes and knives as reminder of the brighter future ahead. Seven years past and all went well, I even still had both my eyes then. "
I know you've never seen "Avatar: the Last Airbender", but for some reason I keep getting these Avatar vibes.
Interesting, I wonder why? I did finally see the first episode on Nickelodeon's website, but that's the only one it let me see.
" Then the day came when my son Zechariah, your father, was to prove himself to the pack by taking out three at once, Gravis and his two young siblings, who all lived in a house together far away from most people. My son returned claiming he had been successful, he didn't have his knife with him which was odd, but I thought little of it at the time. After that he began to act strange. He'd leave at weird times in the day and night without telling anyone where he was going. This went on for quite awhile. Finally some warriors followed him one night. You'll never guess what they witnessed, they actually saw your father propose marriage to Gravis' younger sister Grace, your mother. " Alpha chuckled a little. " I don't know why I was so blind, he must have been seeing her for at least half a year before we found out. However before the spies could return to tell me, Gravis discovered them watching your parents and chased them all the way to one of our mines where the pack members tried to hide out. A fight started and somehow a fire started in the mine, the pack members escaped and they watched as the fire made the aurora minerals melt into a liquid and Gravis fell in. " Alpha's story was horrifying, but Zephyr stayed quiet, because she'd wanted to know all this for so long... " The only remains they could find of him was his turban and they brought that to me along with the news of my son's betrayal. I'll be honest, I was shocked, but I got over it by the time he returned home. I showed him Gravis' turban and told him I knew everything. He looked horrified, then and there he left and I never saw him or anyone related to Gravis again, until today. "
Okay, this is kind of a weird question, but can I get a rundown of what the main cast looks like? It would make it easier to have the pictures in my head.
Okay, this is kind of a weird question, but can I get a rundown of what the main cast looks like? It would make it easier to have the pictures in my head.
Now I'm really glad I never deleted those character descriptions I used for that cover art months ago.
OK, so, very basic rundown: Zephyr: She wears a pale blue gi, usually, and has white hair with blue streaks. Her hair is in the style of Pixal's. Jadyn: Reddish/fiery orange hair, kind of shaggy. He has a scar-burn-I-think on one side of his face. Lisa: Blond hair in a braid, pretty sure she's in a normal human form, but is a robot, much like Zane's first body. Moe Turner: Long, light auburn hair that nearly reaches his shoulders. Alpha: Long dark gray hair that was once auburn, and short gray facial hair; half his face is burned off, leaving only one gray-black eye; wears a black uniform with a cape, insignias such as a wolf paw with three strips signaling his rank and a gray comet stand out gray on his shirt. Azelela: Raven-black hair that falls to her shoulders. Lloyd: Picture the Old Lloyd from Skybound, but wearing a green gi similar to his dad's.
Hope that helps.
Pretty much what Tigress said except Zephyr has blonde hair with blue streaks, and I imagine her gi as a more normal blue. Also I picture Lloyd with gray and blonde hair, but that's not really a big deal.
Alfida was desperate to find our son again and so was I. If he stayed with elemental masters he might be unintentionally smashed with them when the day comes to do so. So once our daughter was old enough to look after himself Alfida took a team and raided Borg Tower one night in hopes of getting her hands on a device that can track anyone, but she was not successful and she and her team are in prison to this day. The only reason I haven't tried to break her out is that she made me promise to not go after her if something happened, a promise that breaks my heart to keep every day... I intended to send someone else in to get the same device so that maybe I could find our son like she wanted to so badly... " Alpha paused as if thinking of something. " But the person I sent failed as well. However you're here now, which changes everything. " " So how exactly did you find me? " Asked Zephyr. " When I heard that Lloyd was putting together a team of ninja awhile back, I of course was cerious who was on it, and when you interrupted our mineing we looked into it. We had records for everyone at the time except for you. Which got me even more cerious, and wondered if you could be a master of gravity, someone who could know where my son was. When I was told you had a knife like ours that was given to you by your father I suspected you might be Zechariah's daughter. So we got you to come to that town where we forced you to use your elemental powers, and sure enough, gravity. It was then I knew for sure you must be my granddaughter. We broke your jet so you would be easier to track and placed a temporary tracking device on one of you in the group, I'm not sure who it was though. We followed you to your dojo so we now know where you live and we waited until last night to attack and bring you here. "
" Ok... " Zephyr wasn't sure what to say now but she figured she better keep asking questions so he wouldn't start asking questions about where her family was, her father had probably wanted to remind secret for good reasons. She ask something she cerious about. "So how did your face, get like that?... " Asked Zephyr. " Why don't you ask Jadyn if we let him live long enough to see you again, he could tell you all about it... " Said Alpha ominously. Zephyr stood up, glared and bared her teeth as his remark. "You don't like that? " Asked Alpha. " If you even think about smashing him, " She tried to think of threat, " or my other friends, " She tried to think of threat again but she couldn't think any that sounded right. " you'll regret it! " She finished off hopeing she made her point, and for dramatic effect she punched her right hand into her left plam. Alpha just looked at Zephyr like she was a puppy barking and said. " I know it's hard to understand, but sometimes some things are more important than others. A few must smash so many can live, it's not easy, but it's the way of things. Not to mention, people are temporary, but bloodlines go on forever so long as they are persevered. " Zephyr was about to tell him he was wrong but he continued. " I don't expect you to understand, I just need you to stay safe and out of the way. Also it would be most helpful to your father's safety if you could at least tell me exactly where he is. " Zephyr was silent at this at first, but then said. " So you want me alive? But I'm an elemental master. " " Of course! What's one elemental master if all the rest are gone anyway? Besides you could always give up your power. You are one of us, you are a part of the bloodline of wolves, in fact you probably have purer wolf blood then most. " Zephyr realized if this was the case then so was her siblings, Alpha would be delighted to hear that probably, however she had no idea what he'd do to her family members who he didn't share blood with. For all she knew he might order that they be smashed along with the elemental masters.
After a moment of silence Alpha said. " I know my son is in Hiroshi's Labyrinth, could you please at least show us exactly where? " Zephyr didn't answer. " At least tell me if he's alive and healthy. " Said Alpha. " He is. " " Well... I guess you probably need time to think about all this. I'll lead you to your new room myself. " Just before Alpha and Zephyr left the room, Zephyr noticed it had gotten brighter and that she could see the tapestries better, she realised they matched the story Alpha had just told her. Her grandfather led her down the hall and then up some steps, they took a right and went past a bunch of different doors until they stopped at one that Alpha opened. Inside there was a large bed, a wardrobe, a rug on the stone floor, and widow that appeared to be barred up. " We put vengestone bars up to be safe. " He was silent for a moment, he seemed to be studying her. " You know, you look quite a bit like your mother, however, your eyes are definitely like your father's. It was a pleasure meeting you granddaughter. " He then shoved her into the room and closed and locked the door. Great, locked up again... thought Zephyr. She paced around the room thinking over and over about what she had just been told. Alpha was right, it was a lot to take in at once. Eventually though she grew tried enough that she let herself lay on the bed which was surprisingly comfortable and clean. She wondered if she'd ever see her friends or family again. What her grandfather had said about Jadyn had both angered and frightened her. There had to be some way out of here though, right? She realized that if she wanted to see Jadyn, her father, Sensei or anyone else again she'd have to find a way out of here. Even if it ment trying every crazy plan under the sun until she departed...

Thanks Tigress!
In all the pictures I've seen of her, her hair looks white. . . xD I need to get my eyes checked again. Oh.

You're so nosy, Grandpa. But the thing about his wife is sad..

I KNEW IT! Did I ever voice this theory--? I think I forgot to. I did wonder if Alpha's face had something to do with the thing that troubles Jadyn and his own scar/burn-thing.
