Ninjago: The Cursed Crystal King (4)

Chapter 33: Story of the Crystal King

- Are you know him? - asked a suprised Aaron.

The lion growled. - I don't just know him! He's the worst creature, that exists in Ninjago. A vile, manipulative creature.

- Can you tell us about him? - asked an interested Kai.

- Yes of course. Let me, tell you the story.

Darkness grunted, placing a paw on his chest. he blew and a dark mist flew out of his maw, which formed into a screen.

Everyone in the room sighed in awe, as images began to appear in the screen.

- A long time ago, during the wars between myself and the First Spinjitzu Master and my sister, I created a creature, that arose from the powers of the dark arts and the shadows. His name was Werath. He was my right hand and a spy on earth. He watched everything, what happened on the surface and all the actions of the First Master and Aya against me.

An image of a humanoid dragon appeared in the mist, facing the dark spirit called Overlord. Instead of the four hands it now possessed, it had two. 

He possessed a rather interesting ability. Crystal control. When he stepped, blade-sharp crystals sprouted up behind him, which were also based on emotions. During battles, his crystals would bring down an entire army in five minutes.

The image of the mist changed, to show a creature walking through the wilderness with sharp black crystals rising from the ground behind him. In his hand he hold a sharp, vengenstone sword, and in front of him stood the army of the First Spinjitzu Master.

In those days, I treated him as my apprentice, whom I trained to be prepared for all circumstances. During that fateful clash with the First Spinjitzu Master and my sister, I created an army made of stone to be a support for Werath, who also created his army. An army created from Vengestone and crystals.

The image changed again and showed the Crystal King, who was at the head of an army of dark pink crystal werewolves, who were armed with crystal weapons of all kinds. There were also dozens of stone warriors in the army. Behind the army was a dark purple mist, that smiled sinisterly.

- Just when, I thought Aya and the First Spinjitzu Master would not be able to defend themselves, and the army completely surrounded them, they split Ninjago into two parts. I occupied the dark part, while both armies were trapped on the light side of power. Along with this was lost Werath, who was nowhere to be found, even after possessing Lord Garmadon and turning into a dragon.

The image now showed Overlord in the shape of a dragon, searching the numerous cliffs and holes in the ground for something. 

- When Lloyd and (Y/N) defeated me, I returned to the underground again and hide in the darkest corners of the underground. Eventually, I came across him. My apprentice. He was motionless, completely...like a rock. Of course, with the help of power, I brought him back to life, but he... was no longer the same as before.
