Hello readers,

Here is the prequel to my first Ninjago fanfic "Merry Christmas Darling", which goes into more detail regarding that story's plot.

Again, I have tried to maintain canonical personalities and speech patterns, but may have slipped on occasion owing to some fluff parts and world building that will come into play for the next Ninjago fanfic.

As with my previous submission, this story will use Japanese terminology from time to time, which I will provide a glossary for, and this fanfic is also fully written and merely requires posting of the chapters.

Also, it's important to note that I am assuming that the ninja are all at least 21 years old, as the series has been going since 2011 and if they were teenagers at the time of season 1, then they are likely legal adults by now.

For this reason, the next fanfic will require an M rating, but this one will maintain a T rating.

Thank you for your continued support.
