Reunited shadows

He was the hero everyone believed in. She was the villain everyone had given up on.
After the Merge, the world changed forever. New realms collide with old ones, and the ninja are facing dangers unlike anything they've ever known.
But while the world struggles to find its balance, Lloyd Garmadon is fighting a battle of his own.
Something inside him is changing.
Something powerful. Something ancient.
And he's terrified that if anyone discovers the truth, they'll never look at him the same way again.
Especially his friends.
So Lloyd keeps his secret buried.
Until a chance encounter brings him face-to-face with someone he never expected to see again.
Harumi.
She's back in Kryptarium Prison, and unlike Lloyd, she has no interest in playing hero. She doesn't blame the ninja for everything anymore-but wants nothing to do with them.

Lloyd tells himself he wants nothing to do with her. Lloyd tells himself to listen to the logical voice inside him-the one reminding him that trusting Harumi would only end in betrayal.
Neither of them is being entirely honest.
Because when Lloyd's carefully controlled world begins to unravel, Harumi becomes the one person who sees something is wrong.
And when the darkness inside Lloyd finally starts to surface, he may have no choice but to trust the one person he once thought he had lost forever.
Two people haunted by the past.
One secret that could change everything.
And perhaps the most dangerous thing isn't what Lloyd is becoming...
It's what happens when Harumi is the only one who knows.

-This is a completely different from post merge. I've added a little prologue so just read that-- (it regards what did and didn't happen)
