Undefeated Miracles

Departed realm library

Oh but worry did Lloyd. 

Lloyd threw yet another book on to the floor after it proved useless in his dilemna. Lloyd groaned frustaratedly as he sank to his feet. The departed realm library proved absolutely not helpful during his time of need.

"To think atleast one of these books had something about reclaiming your body from an alter personality. I thougth this was pretty common!" Lloyd yelled, laying out on his back, limbs out like a star fish. 

"What's got you so worked up. Wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" Morro asked, popping up in front of Lloyd. Lloyd pushed Morro'shead away before straightening into a sitting position. 

"I wish I could wake up, soon I won't even exist!" Lloyd cried exasperated. Morro's smirk dropped. He plopped down on the chair across from Lloyd. 

"What do you mean? Are you going into another coma? Only this time I don't have to see you! That'll be amazing!" Morro said, trying the lighten Lloyd's mood. 

"Oh don't worry, in a week from now, I'll be gone forever. Both from here and in the real world." Lloyd muttered, flipping through the pages of some book about possesions.

"Woah, dude, what's going on with you?" Morro asked, actually concerned. 

"Oh nothing. It's just that my entire existence will be erased in a matter of days because London decided to take over my body," Lloyd angrily ripped a page out of a library book. Upon realizing his actions, he stuffed the page back into the book and buried it under some couch, hoping the librarian wouldn't scold him and make him pay a fine, even though their isn't currency in the departed realm. 

"That sounds terrible?" Morro said, unsure on how to comfort Lloyd. Lloyd shrugged kicking a book away from his feet as he got up. 

"I've been searching for hours and so has London's team. Last time I checked they already had an item off the list." Lloyd pushed a pile of books away from the shelf to make room for him to search. "And all I've found is possession books that aren't helpful."

"Maybe you're looking in the wrong places." Morro suggested, looking through the pile of books Lloyd pushed aside. "Whay was the name of the book the London got?"

"Body stealing. Why?" Lloyd asked, shooting morro and confused glance. Then it clicked. "So I should be looking for body stealing books rather than possession ones. Smart"

"I know that's why I said it," Morro smirked, leaning against the shelves with his arms crossed. "You know I'm free the rest of this afternoon, so if you want any help, I could offer a hand."

"That'd be great. I might even ask Jayda to come over also. The more hands the merrier." Lloyd replied gratefully. He began the place the books back into their original positions, trying not to leave the library in a mess.

"Bidding, Blocking, here it is." Lloyd stopped in front of a 'body stealing' title. "Body stealing."

"Well what are you waiting for? Read it!" Jayda said enthusiastically. Lloyd nodded before opening the first page.

"Looks like this was the guy who had his body stolen by the other guy who wrote the book about body stealing. Can't remember the other's name though." Lloyd said aloud. The other two nodded.

If you are reading this, then your body has been stolen. If not then put the book down because this information has nothing to do with you. I have attached a map on the last page of this book so you can find everything you need to gain your control back.

To regain your body you have two options

Negotiate terms of control with the holder of your body currently

Or 

Perform a ritual to send the entity back into your mind. Sadly it is impossible to destroy the entity. 

To perform this ritual you need the following items:...

—— 

"Yeah, how are you supposed to find all of that stuff?" Jayda asked, as Lloyd checked out the book at the counter. Lloyd thanked the librarian before exiting the library with both Morro and Jayda at his sides.

"I have no idea. It's not like I can go back into the living world to retrieve all these items. I'm not even sure some of these items exist!" Lloyd complained. The group stopped at a crosswalk waiting for the cars to pass. Morro pressed the wall button to alert the traffic of their presence.

"Maybe you can talk to the FSM about it. Maybe he'll reveal some type of loophole that allows you to back to ninjago and retrieve your stuff without London knowing." Morro suggested. Lloyd frowned.

"That's the problem I can't be farther than 50 feet away from London or I'll disappear back into his mind. And he'll notice if I make him go to all these random places to collect ancients teas and artificers." Lloyd kicked at the concrete. "This is hopeless."

"Maybe there is something you're missing."'Jayda spoke up. Lloyd lifted an eye brow. "I mean , you haven't read the entire book, and wasn't this guy also possessed or something? Maybe he hid the way he escaped in the text so that the guy who was possessing him couldn't access  it. All I know is that the guy didn't have the access to the departed realm like you did so he had to have found a way somehow?" 

"That's smart, I'll study more of the book tomorrow," Lloyd sighed as they reached his front porch. "Right now I want to distract London as much as possible from his mission until I find a way to start mine."
