The sun was slowly setting in Ninjago. Full of tension, fear and anxiety, the days passed as if time had stopped. Misako at the Spinjitzu Monastery was preparing a room for Barbara and Jim to sleep in.
Mother and son were still in the kitchen taking care of themselves. Thinking and slowly into their minds the events that had taken place. Suddenly the light began to blink rapidly, turning on and off.
Jim raised his eyes to the chandelier hanging above them. A red light began to burn in his head, and an anxious thrill ran through his body. Something was wrong. Barbara noticed her son moving restlessly in the seat and put her hand over his and stroked the top of it.
- Don't worry, son. It's probably a problem with the electricity, remember we're in the mountains? - she said with a slight chuckle.
Jim looked at his mother with concern. - Maybe.... But I feel that something is wrong.
- Like what? I know, we are.... new guests in a new place and we will be here for a while. I'm worried about Walter, too.
Jim shook his head and furrowed. - I'm not worried about your fiancé. It's something else.
Barbara also furrowed. - Don't worry. Probably it's just a figment of your mind.
Jim looked at her with furrowed brows, before he sighed and nodded slightly. - It's... unpleasant feeling.
Outside, a cold wind picked up. Dark clouds covered the setting sun and the atmosphere became gloomy. The gate of the monastery began to move under the influence of the wind and the golden handles hit the wood.
After a while the gate opened wide and with a bang the gates hit the stone walls. A figure slowly entered the courtyard and whistled low with his hands behind his back. The figure's eyes stopped directly at the temple and it stopped in the middle of the contryard.
The figure's head twitched uncontrollably as his empty eyes watched the building in indifference, the depths of which hid the desire to hunt.
The mysterious visitor licked his lips and his mouth slowly formed into a wide, sadistic smirk. His eyes lit up with an unpleasant, vicious glow. He took a deep breath and the scent of his target hit his face.
- There you are. - He growled to himself in a low voice and stretched his neck. He moved forward and disappeared into the black mist.
Inside the temple. Misako entered the kitchen and sent a slight smile to her guests. - Your room is ready now. If you want you can go and rest.
Barbara smiled slightly at the older woman. - Thank you. I think... we can go and get some rest, right Jim?
Jim nodded wordlessly and got up from the table. Barbara smiled once more at Misako and she and her son went to their temporary room. Misako escorted them away with a sympathetic glance before she sighed quietly and began clearing off the table.
