Back at the village built on water, Ronin places his mask on as he makes his way to where Morro said they should meet, He had an uneasy feeling crawling up his back as he entered the place, Ronin's eyes widen as he saw a throne in the room, and of course, Morro was sitting on it. The whole place spelled the word creepy, with thin green fabric covering everything and a dark atmosphere, the dim lights that entered the room barely lit it up.
"Good evening," Morro's cold voice said, Ronin slightly flinched, and he stepped back but Ghoultar stopped him "And good night," he exclaimed, chuckling nervously, Ronin said "I like what you've done with the place. It's pretty gusty making your hideout right here in Stiix. With this much water, they'd never come looking for you here," He tried to be nice and respectful, getting on Morro's bad side was the last thing he wanted.
Morro's face twisted into an evil grin as he flexed his fingers "I've never been afraid of anything," he said, Ghoultar took it sword and examined it before giving it to Morro "The sword is no fake," he confirmed. Morro let out a small chuckle "Huh. For once, the crook makes good," he said, with every word, Ronin felt a bad feeling in his gut. Morro stands up, walks over to a table where a map is rolled out, and stabs the sword. "Ha! The Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master,"
Ronin narrowed his eyes and then brought up a subject "Now what about my soul? The deal was you'd remove the curse and free me,". Morro rolled his eyes and trailed off "You can have your soul, but the deal has changed," He said and Ronin's stomach twisted "I want the ninja too," Morro added.
Ronin backed up a little "Whoa, now hold on. A deal's a deal," he stated "But what do you care about the ninja? I thought you said you weren't afraid of them," He recalled.
Morro had a smug look on his face "I'm not. But our Preeminent requires certain......safeguards," When Morro said the last word the ghost started laughing. Ronin's face fell into a snarl as he heard the sick laughter "Forget it. I'll keep my cursed soul. The sword's one thing but my friends are another," He countered.
"Since when do you have friends?" Bansha asked and the other ghosts burst into laughter again. Ronin steps back then turns in his heels and speeds to the door, only to be stopped by Ghoultar
"Where do you think you're going?" Morro questions and Ronin grunts while Ghoultar pins his hands behind him "We still have a need for you," Morro said before laughing wickedly "The Realm Crystal will be mine,"
