Claws of Night; episode (help me, guys, what episode would this be if it comes after DotD?); Prologue
The raven soared on an updraft closer to where she felt the darkness came. Something wasn’t right. In fact, something was very, very wrong. She could sense it in every feather on her body.
The night seemed normal enough, bright, glittering stars sparkled like shimmering diamonds with the ebony-black twilight sky. An eerie full moon illuminated the gloomy, mist-blanketed mountains below. A fierce wind rattled the few trembling leaves on barren trees scattered across the mountainside, sweeping some away in its swirling grasp. It summoned haze up from below, drawing it up higher into the vast mountains. A small rough steps crept up the mountain although it looked far too narrow for a human, fit only for something no bigger than a large cat. At the end of the small, climbing path was a small stone structure built into a high peak and wreathed in vapor.
The large raven soared on the strong winds, her feathered wings fluttering. She heard voices suddenly and descended to the nearest tree, landing on one of its bare, gnarled branches. She gazed into the fogginess all around her and soon caught sight of three figures making their way to a rocky, moonlit clearing. So that’s why she felt called here! This was not good. A high cliff rose up to the sky, its top shrouded in mist, on one side and far up on a peak was the castle with the clearing between the two. It was made of a different, more reflective type of stone with five pedestals circling it like a silver crown and one pedestal standing in the center.
In the middle of the clearing stood the three figures. They appeared to just be normal humans walking around in a cold mountain range in the middle of the night. What was even more odd that that was that they wore nothing fit for the treacherous mountains of Jagged Peaks, just scraps of animal pelts, except for their leader who wore long, dark robes. But, there was something about them... The figure who appeared to lead them was a black-haired woman, from the very way she stood she seemed dangerous.

Unlike the others, her black hair was mostly stuffed under a hood and she held a iron ring attached to three chains, each linked to the collar of a trio of large black wolves. The figure on her left was a bit shorter but he too possessed a similar edge as she did. On the woman’s right was another older, tawny-haired woman, her eyes darting back and forth, slicing the gloom like claws.
As the wind died down, the raven heard a voice, malevolent and commanding and as sharp as icicles, split the silence like a katana, “Nikolas, Hagatha, have you located Silv—it, yet?” She asked them.
The two other figures edged back a little, averting their eyes anxiously and glanced at each other. The man, Nikolas, glanced at the woman, Hagatha, who shrugged in answer. Nikolas hesitantly proceeded to answer their leader’s question.
“W-well,” he started, apprehensively, “We, um, we did sort of but it’s going to be very hard to get, you’ll have to send a lot of them to get it.” He finished.
Hagatha nodded, “Yes, we won’t be able to get it by ourselves, I suggest that you do so tonight before that meddling woman gets her hands on it.” She raised a wrinkled hand, “Once we get it, the fate of Ninjago will lie in our hands forever, we are the—” Her words were stopped of by Nikolas.
“No, no, we have to wait until the last day of the full moon, then the powers of the Nightfang will be fully invoked.” Nikolas cut in. Hagatha noticed his hands beginning to glow with a purplish fire and stopped talking.
Their leader was beaming a dark glare at both of them, “Shut up, you idiots, I do not need you to tell me what to do. I am your leader, I decide what we do, not you two, your both acting like mewling kittens,” She paused a moment, turning twice to glare once more at each of them who melted in her irritated scrutiny. “We retrieve it three nights from now.” She told them, scowling at Nikolas, “I don’t base my plans on the stupid moon; I will make it work.”
The raven cocked her head to the side. Interesting, She thought, studying the trio below her. But then again, she is N—

A sudden gust of wind interrupted her thoughts, nearly throwing her off her perch. The raven flapped her wings to regain her balance then folded her wings again.
The leader’s wolf raised its head and growled suddenly and the leader raised a finger to her lips, “Spy,” She murmured several strange words, her companions following her lead.
The raven panicked, they’d find her for sure with her now up wind of them. She raised her wings to lift off into the sky… and received a cuff to her head. The raven was thrown to the rough rocks below, with an indignant squawk, she twisted around and struggled to move her wings. A huge black paw was pinning her to the ground and the furry black face of the very large wolf was snarling down at her. She writhed and squirmed but it was no use, the raven was no match for a wolf this size.
“Well, well, if it isn’t my old friend Morgan Wolfvale,” The leader sneered, “Look at that, right under my wolf’s paws.” The wolf snatched the raven up in its jaws and tossed her to Nikolas and Hagatha, “Finish her and meet back at the cavern.” After giving them her instructions, their leader began descending the stone steps.
Morgan’s eyes darted from the leader and her wolves to the two figures near her. Before they reached were the wolf had thrown her, Morgan jumped up and fled into the sky. Morgan felt a sharp pain in her wing but didn’t look back.
She flew through the mist shrouded mountains, soaring in wind whilst wishing very much that she hadn’t been seen by them. Morgan soared over the stony ridges, fog-filled vales and mountaintop peaks and even a vast chasm, separating the mountains. After what seemed like hours to the tired raven, she came to a lush, fogless forest and from with the woodlands came a stream of smoke, wafting up from a little shack. she tucked in her wings and dived through the trees, the cold air and leafy branches zipping past her. The raven landed on the grassy earth of the wood and made her way over snapping twigs and dry, crackling leaves to a small cabin.
Home at last, Morgan thought as she walked inside and wistfully gazed at the door leading to her nice, cozy bed. No, I can’t sleep yet, I have work to do. But first things first, I’ll need my human form again.

Morgan murmured several words and began to change form. Her body lengthened as she became taller and lost her raven features. Ebony feathers shriveled into light human skin, her beak disappeared and within a minute, Morgan was entirely human.
Black and brown hair stuck up every which way like a frightened porcupine’s, framing her face with uneven strands of hair. A long midnight blue cloak hung over her scrawny shoulders and old, ratty dress, she also wore a belt with multiple pouches in it. However, despite her worn-out clothes and messy hair, her face was her most startling feature. One of her eyes—the pretty one—was dark purple and flecked with blue and the other—the freakish one—was pure amber with a slit pupil. To add to this, wrinkles also lined her mouth and eyes despite her youthful energy, and a scar crossed her left cheek.
The woman glanced around her home. Opposite the shack’s entryway was a fire place with a tile hearth and filled with burning flames, lighting the large room with a homey golden glow. On the left side of the door, near the back wall, was a kitchen area. Some old warped cupboards were set in the wall with a sink between two pairs of three cupboards. On the right side of her home was a lengthy oak shelf with vials of potions and clumps of drying herbs on it as well as ancient, faded books sloppily stuffed on its many shelves and a pair of similar oak chairs with faded blue cushions. A ratty blue rug embroidered with cats, ravens and wolves, flanked by the shelf and the chairs with a low, wooden table resting on it. It wasn’t filthy, but her small house wasn’t perfectly clean and not well lit. At the back wall was a blue fabric curtain hanging in the entrance that led to her bedroom.

“Home,” She sighed contentedly but a frown swiftly furrowed her expression, “Now then,” Morgan walked briskly across the room to the ancient bookshelf and scanned over the book spines in search of one particular book. Morgan grabbed a book, flipping through. She scowled at the book and muttered something under her breath, slamming shut the tome with a small puff of dust. Looking up from the book and throwing it down on the table with a bang, Morgan strode over to the door of her isolated home in the forest, “Night is coming,” She looked up at the near-dawn sky, breathing in the crisp air and gazing at the stunning moonlit peaks of the Jagged Peak mountains in the far distance, “And I think I know who can stop her.”

It is? Thank you! Yay! Tigressclaw bookmarked and likes the prologue! Omisquash! Yay, you made my day! I'm glad! Now all we need is moar. Here's the moar; Now, if Lloyd Garmadon, Master of Energy, had known that the events of that day would lead to him and his team battling a deadly foe for the fate of Ninjago—and his life—, he never would have gotten out of bed. It seemed like a normal Friday morning, well, other than a trumpeting alarm clock and a potentially malicious blanket locking him in bed, Lloyd was intensely studying the inside of his eyelids as he always did on Friday morning. “BEEP-BEEP-BEEP, BEEP-BEEP-BEEP, BEEP-BEEP-BEEP!” blared Lloyd Garmadon’s alarm clock, the one that clearly didn’t believe in sleeping on Friday or any day for that matter. It rattled enough to vibrate right off Lloyd’s bedside table, hitting the floor with a clatter. The Master of Energy groggily opened his eyes and blinked up at the white ceiling of he, Jay, Kai, Cole and Zane’s bedroom in the tea shop, “Ohhhhhh,” Lloyd moaned, mostly asleep, “Snooooze. Snooze button! Walrus-eating laundry heap, go away and let me sleep.” He grabbed one of his agreeable, green pillow, they believed in sleeping on any day of the week, and pulled it over his face. Lloyd closed his eyes and tried to ignore the stupid beeping alarm clock, rattling its way across the floor. “BEEP-BEEP-BEEP, BEEP-BEEP-BEEP!” It continued wailing, this time slightly stifled from Kai’s discarded shirt on the floor. Lloyd lifted the pillow from his face and sighed, “Why can’t anything go my way in the morning?” He asked no one although the alarm clock decided to answer. “BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP.” It answered whilst vibrating path through a pair of Cole’s dirty socks, “BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP.” Lloyd reached down toward the floor and felt around for his clock. After a minute or so, he found it and slammed his fist down on the dismiss button on top. He proceeded to slam his eyelids shut as well, sleep at last… Pancakes? Lloyd thought as a pancake-y aroma floated into the room, Blueberry pancake? Mom’s blueberry pancakes! Lloyd was a much bigger fan of mother’s pancakes than sleeping.

In a failed effort to spring exuberantly out of bed and beat Cole, Master of Earth, to the pancakes, Lloyd somehow managed to get his left foot tangled up in his bright green comforter. This tripped him up and he ended up plummeting out of his bed, arms waving wildly and blanket floundering after him. He hit the floor with a blanket-muffled thud and yelped a three-part harmony of dismay, minor pain and astonishment at how badly his idea had flopped—literally.
“What’s the rush, dude?” asked an all-too-familiar voice.
Lloyd groaned from beneath his quilted cocoon. Kai… Of all the people to see this… “Good morning, Kai,” He greeted wryly, sitting up and trying to disentangle himself from his comforter’s overly enthusiastic embrace, “It’s a new ninja move.”
Kai, slouched in the doorway and dressed in his usual casual clothes which consisted of a shirt printed with a picture of himself on it (according to him, Kai shirts were cool), a red jacket, jeans and stylish sunglasses, smirked, “Yeah, sure, you better hurry up because Misako made her famous pancakes and Cole is devouring them. Like, faster than Jay can talk in a freak out.” He quickly analyzed Lloyd’s situation (a classic case of baleful blanket) and helped unwrap him from the renegade quilt.
Lloyd, who was now fully blanket-free, made his way through his room with Kai, “Thanks,” He tilted his head slightly, now that he was fully awake, Lloyd actually noticed that Kai wasn’t dressed in his ninja gi, “What are you up to today? Not training, I assume…?”
“Oh, um, not much, just the usual.” Kai answered, “Videogames with Jay and Cole. I’ll probably be going out later, um, I meant—”
“You meant your going out to spend the day signing autographs for your adoring fans and getting tons of attention from them, which is a quarter of Ninjago City’s residents.” Lloyd nodded. “Thought so.”
“Uh, yeah, well, I have to get going. Catchya later, bro.” Kai said as he walked out of their bedroom.
