The Descendants of the Elements (5)

CHAPTER 13

- It all happened so suddenly. In one, or maybe three days, all of Ninjago was surrounded on almost all sides. We know who these new enemies of ours are. So the question remains one.... HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!!!? - Jay yelled out loud, looking at the computer map of Ninjago, surrounded by red flashing dots.

- Nerath happened, Jay. - (Y/N) answered him, approaching the table with a book in her hands.

- Who is all this Nerath? - Kai asked and approached the table. - And from where does she have so many allies?

- Not to mention that Polaris is also among her witnesses. - Pythor interjected, resting his hands on the table. - But... He no longer looks like the Polaris we knew.

(Y/N) opened an old, dusty book and flipped through a few pages. Misako and Wanda joined her and looked over the girl's shoulder to peek into the book. - My library has nearly five thousand books. Legends, myths, ancient writings and scrolls. Nothing but to take. - She announced to everyone.

Aaron grunted. - You meant to say, our library, Buttercup.

(Y/N) sent him a side eye and furrowed. - Our? Have you read even one book from here? Did you count, page through, label all the books? Have you created a legend of the library?

Everyone looked at the High Prince, who grunted slightly and tried to answer her somehow, but something didn't work out. (Y/N) snorted. - That's what I thought. So the library is mine. In any case! I think I know the answer to who Nerath is.

- Come on then, surprise us. - Lance said and walked a little closer.

The High Princess clear her throat and picked up the book. - According to this old legend. Nerath is one of the Three Wicked Sisters, powerful witches who were famous for their sinister powers and their nasty deceitful and treacherous nature.

- Is it known where they came from? - Clay asked.

- It was in the early days of the Wizarding Era! - she wheezed.

- Do you think Merlok could know them? - Axl asked.

- I don't know... Maybe in the days of his veeery early youth, or.... no? Coming back! The Three Wicked Sisters were named Rubina, Iris and Nerath. Rubina was the eldest of the three and was mainly involved in divination, creating potions and deadly concoctions, and taking care of the creatures, she created herself. With the help of her excellent skills in creating potions, she breathed life into the swamp plants that the sisters inhabited. She gave them an identity and a purpose to live.

- They lived in the swamp!!? Eww... That's disgusting! At the very thought of that smell and mud...! - Lance exclaimed in disgust, and got a firm poke in the side from Madeline.

- Don't interrupt, Lance. - She rebuked him in a whisper and nodded at (Y/N) so she could continue. The princess grunted and resumed reading.

- Iris was known for her charm and talent for magic. Of all the sisters, she was the one who sinced beauty a lot. As soon as a man noticed her, he immediately fell in love with her. - She muttered in exasperation at the last sentence and glanced at Aaron, who flinched.
