Enter The Ninjaverse

CHAPTER 17

Author's Note:

Greetings Everyone! After a month long hiatus, Enter the Ninjaverse is back! This arc was perhaps the longest thing I've ever edited before. Originally, this was only 14 chapters, but after extensive editing, it's now grown to 18 chapters. There was so much for me to have in this one arc! I want to sincerely hope that you do indeed enjoy your time with it.

For those of you who aren't aware, Enter the Ninjaverse: Universal Deviations has been out for a few weeks! The fic will be a series of small, independant chapters of the main NV cast prior to the events of NV occuring. It's my way of showing small stories that I didn't have time for in the main fic! Please check it out at this link: https://www.wattpad.com/831209665-enter-the-ninjaverse-universal-deviations-lloyd

Finally, the hiatus is now over! I will go back to posting weekly chapters. This new world is going to be a rather complex one... so you might want a map! https://imgur.com/rioosqk

Enjoy!

"Don't worry about a thing, son," Garmadon smiled warmly, "You've already brought them together. Just go out there and give the speech like we rehearsed."

"Yeah... I know, dad..." Lloyd sighed, "I'm... just worried, you know? This is important!"

"And the fact you know how important it is means you respect your position," Garmadon nodded his head, "Just go out and give your opening speech, I will handle the procedures from there."

"Yeah... yeah... gosh this was way easier on the battlefield..." Lloyd sucked in a breath, "Alright... alright, let's do this!"

With a small push, the two doors massive hall opened. Light poured around Lloyd, for a moment blinding him with its radiance. When it cleared, he found himself in the middle of a massive circular room. All at once, all of the leaders seated inside turned towards Lloyd. He smiled gently and adjusted his robes, the golden fabric shimmering in the lights floating along the ceiling. As he stepped forward into the room, the assembled leaders watched him with rapt attention.

"Members of the First Tribal Assembly!" Garmadon called out, "It is my honor to present your Founder and Dragon Lord, Lloyd Garmadon!"

The room erupted in applause as Lloyd stepped forward. The seats were situated around a massive round washer table. In the center of the washer housed a massive crystal placed within the middle of a ring of rocks, each the color of each tribe's element. The crystal cycled colors of each of the tribes, creating a warm and beautiful centerpiece for the room. Lloyd's chair was painted in gold, while each other was painted again with each tribal color. He stood in front of his chair, overlooking the room.

Yeah, this was definitely far easier to do when he was making a grand and booming statement across a battlefield. He forced his hands to calm down, clasping them in front of himself to do so. He shut his eyes, and when he opened them they shone a cyan. Calling upon the element of sound, he began to speak.

"Members of the Assembly!" Lloyd projected, "In the beginning, the First Elemental Master tamed the elemental magic of this world and shared that gift with the Firstbourne to drive the evils from this land for us to live in. Together, they turned this world into a space where we could live and prosper. He split that magic into the elements we use today, decided by the traits of the Firstbourne's first clutch. With these dragons for protection, he granted those in this world the power to wield those elements, and with it, the birth of the tribes. So we grew, we thrived, and we expanded, growing closer to our elements with each and every passing day. While we grew apart, in the places that the first clutch chose as their own, soon, we came to know one another once more. We populated the World, and slowly, we grew to see it as far more than each tribe alone.
