After our long trek we finally reached the gates of the Cloud Kingdom. The golden gates opened as an old man draped in robes descends the steps towards us. "Welcome to Cloud Kingdom. We've been expecting you" He says with a smile. He was very well postured and polite, but...odd. "Ha, how are we—" Jay starts as he looks at his feet. "Standing on a cloud? Easy. In other Realms, there are other rules. I'm Fenwick. I've been asked to show you around." the old man, Fenwick, says. Kai steps forward. "Nice to meet you. I'm—" "Kai, yes we all know." Fenwick interrupts. "You're quite popular with the other monks. Up here, we see everything that goes on in Ninjago." Fenwick states.

Cole then walks up saying, "Then you know—" "You've traveled far for the Sword of Sanctuary, a powerful weapon that can foresee your opponent's next attack, It's also the second clue to finding the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master." Fenwick tells us. "Blimey." Zane sasy, still in a pirate accent. "But how be you—" "Finishing your sentences?" Fenwick asks. This guy is really starting to annoy me. He turns to me. "I know, it's rather annoying, but up here we know, let's just day...we know what's going to come next." This dude is seriously weirding me out. "Come, I know Morro isn't far behind. Follow me and I'll explain."

We are brought to a giant library with scrolls coming out every pore and lots of monks writing on desks ahead of us. As we walk, the monks gasp and whisper about us. "I know you're familiar with a few of the realms. Cloud Kingdom is just one more of the Sixteen Realms that exist parallel to Ninjago." Fenwick informs us. "Sixteen Realms?" I ask. Fenwick continues his speech. "In this realm, we strive for greater understanding and let go of distractions. There is no television, no video games—" "No video games?" Jay asks, shocked. He huffs crossing his arms. "Not impressed."

"It appears all any lad does here be writing." Zane points out. "That is because here, our words matter. You see, in Cloud Kingdom, we are the writers of destiny." Fenwick says as referring to the monk writing on a scroll next to him. "It was here it was decided that Lloyd should be the Green Ninja. Or (Y/n) here should join your team. And just now, that Zane should find his voice again." Fenwick states as he picks up a scroll displaying the new writing.

Zane places a hand to his head. "I sense my vocal pattern has returned without any repairs." He says, impressed. Jay groaned. "He doesn;t talk like a pirate anymore." he complained. "How'd that happen?" Cole asked. "It was written." Fenwick stated. Jay then goes up to a monk writing a scroll. "Hey, guys, he's writing about Dareth!" Jay tells us before bumping ink onto the scroll. Whatever happened made the monk look upset. "Oh, poor Dareth!" he said. Jay then chuckled awkwardly and we continued to follow Fenwick. "If you all write history, then you know it's vital that we get the Sword." I say to our guide.

"Yes, and I know you all made a promise to save your friend Lloyd. Sadly, we cannot ensure promises, because we aren;t allowed to choose sides." Fenwick tells us as he stops causing us to crash into each other. Fenwick then looks around and turns to us with the smile disappearing from his face. "And no one else will tell you this, but we had intended for Morro to stay in the Cursed Realm." Fenwick whispers to us. "What do you mean 'intended.'" Cole asks.

"He was never supposed to escape. He somehow...defied destiny." Fenwick said, concerned. He then approaches Cole. "And now we're playing catch up. Do you think we wanted you to become a Ghost? That's preposterous." he says to Cole. "Ever since Morro broke free, things have been happening outside our control. To be honest, we don;t know how this will end." he tells us before walking away. Kai approaches the man. "Then quit talking and give us the sword. We'll find the tomb and stop Morro." Kai says. "Look, we want to give it to you, but first, the Master Writer wants to see you." Fenwick says as he leads us through the library again. "Fine then show us to this 'Master Writer.'" Kai says a bit mockingly. I've got a bad feeling about this.
