On the summit of the Wailing Alps, Morro and his companions or minions gathered as he shouted in anger, "Ugh, those cursed ninja. I need to get to Cloud Kingdom now!" His frustration was palpable as he ran his hand through his hair, brushing off some stray particles that clung to him. 

"Patience, Morro," The Soul archer interjected calmly. "Wanting to reach the Cloud Kingdom will not expedite our journey towards its portal." Despite the Soul archer's composed demeanor, Morro's impatience was evident as he huffed and rolled his eyes in exasperation. "But I hate waiting! It's beneath me. If the ninja manage to acquire the Sword of Sanctuary before us, they will undoubtedly gain the upper hand in this perilous quest."

"I've never known you to be so concerned," The soul archer remarked, briefly averting his gaze from Morro. The tension in the air was palpable as Morro grunted once more with frustration. "It's this incessant boy trying to break free from my possession!"

"You will not have to wait any longer, Morro," Bansha hissed with a grin. The Soul archer raised his eyebrow. "But how? The gateway won't pass for hours."

Bansha's grin grew more mischievous. "Let's just say I'm in contact with someone willing to leave the back door open," she whispered slyly, her eyes glinting with a hint of secrecy.

Morro's curiosity was piqued as he leaned in closer, intrigued by Bansha's cryptic words. "Who could possibly assist us in such a manner?"

Bansha chuckled softly, enjoying Morro's growing interest. "Oh, trust me, Morro. This ally of ours is well-versed in the art of deception and has a knack for slipping through the tightest of defenses unnoticed."

As the ninja approached the gates of Cloud Kingdom, they were met with a majestic sight. The gate, painted in shimmering gold, stood out against the rocky surroundings that had a distinct silver texture. A man emerged from behind the gate, descending the stairs as it slowly opened. "Welcome to Cloud Kingdom. We've been expecting you," he greeted them warmly. 

Jay slightly stomped his foot on the ground, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Ha, how are we—"

The man, Fenwick, cut him off with a knowing smile before Jay could finish his sentence. "Standing on a cloud? Easy. In other Realms, there are other rules," he remarked cryptically, 

"And you are?" Anna's curiosity was palpable as she directed her question towards the enigmatic stranger.

"I'm Fenwick," he announced with a graceful bow, exuding an aura of elegance and authority. "I've been asked to show you around," he added, his tone inviting yet tinged with a sense of secrecy.

Kai walks forward "Nice to meet you. I'm—"

Fenwick stopped Kai from finishing his sentence "Kai, yes, we all know. You're quite popular with the other monks." Kai looked confused and Fenwick explained "Up here, we see everything that goes on in Ninjago,"

Cole then began to say "Then you know—" Fenwick also cut Cole off "You've traveled far for the Sword of Sanctuary, a powerful weapon that can foresee your opponent's next attack. It's also the second clue to finding the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master," 

"Wow, that impressive," Anna remarked. "And you must be Anne, Master of Magic, and leader of the team," Fenwick uttered

"Temporarily, leader," Kai muttered under his breath.

Zane tilts his head "Blimey. But how be you—"

Fenwick interrupted him and Jay eye's twitched in annoyance ?"Finishing your sentences?" Fenwick concluded, still smiling "I know, it's rather- "
