"The Oni temple," Lloyd smiled at Harumi. Except he wasn't met with one, he was met with a blank stare, he brushed it off as Harumi joined him at the jagged entrance.

Lloyd took a deep breath as he ran forward leaping onto the first pillar of rocks. Harumi jumped one as well, yelping as she struggled to regain her balance. Lloyd leaped to the next rocks heading to the stairs. "If the last mask is here, it won't come easily. Trust me, I've had my fair share of deadly tombs, follow my every step" Lloyd warned as he stared into the endless pit inches away from his feet.

The cave began to shake, Lloyd turned to Harumi, "what's happening?" Lloyd cried out.

"I don't know, I didn't touch anything," Harumi replied innocently, she had deliberately set off a trap.

"Rumi, the exit!" Lloyd pointed out as the stone like teeth began to close. Lloyd sighed, "I guess there's no turning back now."

Lloyd felt a cold breeze filter through the cracks of the jagged rocks. He stopped for a second, to him a breeze was a breeze, (y/n) was the one who could understand if the wind was sending a message.

They had barely escaped the first obstacles of the temple. The next room was just a tricky as the first. Paintings were sprawled across the wall, the story of the Oni. "Look, the symbol from earlier, maybe you can breathe through one of these walls, if the symbol is on here, this one must be booby-trapped," Harumi suggested.

"Worth a shot," Lloyd replied as he summoned an energy ball. He stopped just as he was about to blast the blank wall.

"What's wrong?"

"If the Oni wanted to protect the mask, they would know anyone who got this far would avoid the markings," he pointed out. "This has to be the right way," Lloyd said, pointing at the wall with a symbol on it.

"But you see the water? If you break the wrong wall, the whole room will flood," Harumi cautioned.

"Then I sure hope I'm right." Lloyd broke down the wall and sighed in relief when water didn't rush towards them, "let's go."

Harumi gasped at the hall opened up into a larger space. In the center the third mask burned in a purple flame. "The mast of hatred," Harumi said. Harumi reached the altar and held her hand out towards the flame; she hissed in pain as the fire burned her. "Only someone with Oni blood can take the mask," she pointed out.

Lloyd stared at the mask. How did she know that she needed Oni blood to get the mask? He closed his eyes. "I don't trust Harumi; I don't have any real reasoning except I can just tell."

Regret washed over Lloyd it all made sense now. (y/n)'s disappearance, the hole's in Harumi's story, even the letter from (y/n). How could I have been so blind? "I'm sorry (y/n), I should have trusted you," he whispered so that Harumi could not here him.

the flames disappeared as Lloyd pulled the mask from the altar. "Can I- Can I see it?" Harumi asked with a smile on her face. Lloyd stepped back, "I just want to see it."

"How did you know?" Lloyd asked Harumi.

"It's an Oni Temple. It's safe to assume only an Oni could take it," Harumi reasoned.

"No. How could you know I was part only?" Lloyd questioned as he turned away from her, putting himself between Harumi and the mask.

"You're related to the first Spinjitzu Master. He was an Oni," Harumi pointed out as she laid a hand on his shoulder.
