"Im taking Garmadon back to the monastery" Wu said pushing his brother out the door"Ninja go find Akita"
"Alright" Zane said taking charge
"Come on" Kai said grabbing Lloyd's arm"lets go find your girlfriend"
"What?"Lloys was confused" Who told you that?"
"Its a joke Dummy"

The ninja searched but Akita was nowhere to be found...

Draiko picked up a mace"I know you know where the book is"
"I cant even read the ninjago language" Akita pointed out trying to free her wrists from the ropes
"But it wasnt written in the ninjago language!" The man wheezed a smile crossing the remainder of his face"
"It wasnt written in the ninjago language?"Akita asked faining ignorance
" No it wasnt the first spinjitzu master had a formling translate it into their language so that I couldnt read it and finish my training!"

140 years ago

"The people of the realm of elements know to be afraid of The Master of Manipulation.Anyone associated with the First Spinjitzu Master has days to change their mind before it's to late."The Grim Reaper said kneeling infront of Death.
The Immortal stood up from the garden bench"Who is this Master Of Manipulation?Milo?"
"No Ma'am Milo died many years ago"
"Then who?"
The Reaper stood up head still bowed"The power is know possessed by his second child Madu born 40 years ago on...Day of the Departed"
"The youngest of twins?" Death said but it wasnt a question"I guess we found our uncontrollable"

Madu laughed when he saw Death"I though the Mistress of Death might pay me a visit!Should I put the kettle on?But first I have a tiny question do you demons bleed?"
Death held he scythe at the ready there was no telling what this person could do."I have come to discuss something with you"
"To bad" Madu said picking up a glass of wine"It is Day of the Departed I don't like to be present for this day"
"I know your not just the Master of Manipulation"
Madu set the glass back down"What of it?"
"I have an explanation"
"Then please enlighten me"
Death began to explained how every hundred years on Day of the Departed there was an anomaly where twins were born the youngest would only survive if the father of the child sacrificed their power to save the child.The child would then be connected to the world around them,if they cried it would rain,if they were mad things would break,Scared the universe would protect them but it was uncyerollable.Even shoving down thoughts and feelings didnt help but Death had an answer.
"You can become an imortal like me and the power will be almost none existent,but it comes with rules,you can not die unless you are killed by a relative, messing with mortal affairs is forbidden"
"Soon there will be someone like me?"Madu asked raising an eyebrow
"In 60 years, yes"
