I walked into my room, trying to process the revelation about the Overlord. The blackest of darkness that existed from the very beginning. An evil spirit called The Overlord. The balance was at stake, and their battle could have gone on for eternity. Each side powerful, neither could conquer the other until the Overlord created his indestructible warriors: the Stone Army.

I sat on my bed, letting the weight of the information sink in. The Spinjitzu Master did what he could, but he knew he would soon be defeated. So instead of losing the war, he divided Ninjago in two. And lucky for us, since then there has been no trace of the Overlord or his Stone Army, until my recent discovery. The legend states that so long as the balance between good and evil remains even, the Overlord shall remain trapped from this world. My father's ambition will ultimately lead to a shift in the balance.

We have each felt the power of the First Spinjitzu Master, passed onto us in the form of the elemental weapons. But now that power has been inherited by the Green Ninja, only Lloyd can defeat the ultimate evil, or else all of Ninjago will fall prey to its darkness.

However Misako also said I had a role to play in this prophecy, I am unsure what that could possibly be but I know it isn't good. I'm fully aware my father will stop at nothing to accomplish what he desires, and that could include hurting anyone he claims to love.

My vision suddenly became very blurry. I began to see an image of these lava rocks and in the midst of it, my father. I could hear his laughter; it wouldn't stop.

Then it all stopped. I gasped for air, sitting on my bed. It was like when I first had the dreams that Garmadon was my father, which turned out to be true.

But then, it started again. This time, more vivid and intense. I was pulled back into the vision, the darkness enveloping me. The lava rocks were more defined, glowing with an eerie, otherworldly light. The ground beneath me felt hot and unstable, like it could crack open at any moment.

In the center of the chaos, my father stood, his eyes glowing red, his laughter echoing through the fiery landscape. He wasn't alone. Behind him, a massive figure loomed—the Overlord, shrouded in darkness, his presence suffocating. The air was thick with malice and dread.

"Y/n," my father called out, his voice distorted and menacing. "You cannot escape your destiny. Join me, and together we will rule Ninjago."

I tried to move, but my feet felt like they were stuck in the molten ground. I could feel the heat rising, my skin burning from the intensity. "No! I won't join you!" I shouted, but my voice felt small and insignificant against the overwhelming darkness.

The Overlord's laughter joined my father's, a deep, sinister sound that sent chills down my spine. "You cannot resist the inevitable," the Overlord spoke, his voice reverberating through the air. "The balance will tip, and darkness will consume all."

Images flashed before my eyes—Ninjago City in ruins, the ninja defeated, their elemental powers stripped away. I saw Lloyd, struggling against the darkness, his green energy fading. The future I feared was becoming a reality, and I felt powerless to stop it.

"No, this can't be happening," I whispered, tears streaming down my face. "I have to do something."

Suddenly, I was back in my room, gasping for air, my heart racing. The echoes of their laughter still lingered, a haunting reminder of what was at stake. I could feel the weight of the prophecy pressing down on me, the responsibility overwhelming.
