Pureflowersand: I don't own Ninjago. I wish though!


Here I shall tell you all a tale...

A tale never heard of...

Not by mortal ears at least...

Long ago, before the creation of Ninjago,

There lived five sisters.

But they were not any normal sisters,

No, they were goddesses,

Born out of nothing and yet born to create something.

Lia was the creator of the Sun,

She is the holder of light,

and represents the good of ones' soul.

Drea was the creator of the Moon,

She is the shadow of the night,

and represents the darkness that plagues ones' mind.

Eltra was the creator of the World,

She is the whispers of nature,

She represents the hope of ones' heart.

Diyu was the creator of the Voided Blackness,

She is the coldness that sees through you,

She represent the pain of ones' death.

Lae was the creator of the Stars,

She is the air you breathe,

She represents the love of ones' birth.

Together they were the Goddesses of

Light, Darkness, Elements, Death, and Life.

Soul, Mind, Heart, Body, and Spirit,

these were the very factors of living,

to be mortal.~


Prologue


"Well, we're here! Now what?" A smooth bubbly voice echoed from the outside a dark cave. Four female figures were seen in front of the cave, facing it and contemplating on what their next move is.

The first figure, the one that had spoken, was on the far left of the small group. Her figure showed off her curves well in her orange top and black shorts. Her face was a wonderful combination of cute and beautiful. Her snow-white hair was wild with spikes as it reaches down her shoulders. Part of hair hides her left eye, like it's protecting it with its spiky offensive nature. On the right side though her face is completely exposed, showing off her pink eye with eyelashes long enough to lightly touch her pale white cheeks. Her skin was of an icy white color from her head all the way to her bare feet that touches the beach's white sand. She wore a silver-chained necklace with a ruby attached to it. On her right shoulder it shows a tattoo of a white skeleton with a single black heart-shaped eye. The tattoo symbolized her as one of the adoptive daughters of Samukai, the former leader of the skeleton clan. Her name Nova and she's one for trouble as she looked at the cave with curiosity as her slightly pink lips curved into a mischievous smile.

"I don't know about this. Amelia where did you say you found this scroll?" The figure on the far right asked the woman who was standing next to Nova. Her voice was slightly low and wasn't completely directed to a single figure it was directed at all them as if she wasn't sure which one was the one she addressed the question to.

This woman was slightly smaller than her companions making her petite and a bit thin, but she still had a nice curvy figure. She was wearing a t-shirt with a black crow design on the front and a black mini skirt with frills. She would normally wear black high-heeled sandals, but since she was on the beach she went for normal black sandals. Her hair is a platinum blonde with dark green highlights reaching all the way down to her shoulder. On her left forearm you can see three clawed scars that is healing with age. Her bangs cover most of her eyes, but it showed she had a beautiful green color. Unfortunately, she can not see through these eyes, well not in the daytime at least. She was born with a unique trait in which keeps her temporarily blind during the day, but enhances during the night. None can tell, but she is a half demon from her mother's side. She also has inherited the power of shadows from her father's side. Her name is Emerald Garmadon, her mother thought it proper to keep the last name of her father since demons commonly don't have last names. She held a look of uncertainty as she tried to since the unattainable power within the compounds of the cave.

"Some old skeleton found it in the confounds of father's personal treasure. He said that father wanted us to have it if for any reason that he might not come back. He also told us that father never got around to looking into it. So I thought we might as well make this as somewhat a last wish to him." The woman standing next to Nova said with some formality and clarity.

She stood with posture and grace; same height as Nova. She wore a navy blue one-piece suit with a white see through skirt and a pair of navy blue sandals. Her black hair had an unusual style; in the front you can see that most of her stayed only an inch passed her chin and curled around her face like a bubble as well as hiding her right eye in the same fashion, but in the back you can see a small section of hair is long enough to be about close to the back of her knee, and it's wrapped in a white cloth. Her left eye is shown to have a sapphire blue color. Her slender neck showed a scar of what seems as if someone try to hack off her head; the sapphire gem necklace barely hides it, and there on her right shoulder it showed a black skull with one heart-shaped eye. This indicates that this was the second adopted daughter of the former skeleton leader Samukai. Her name was Amelia, and she was the one that held dignity and control as she looked at her twin sister in disdain as she jumped with excitement.

"Well we aren't going to get anything done with just staring at a mysterious cave all day. C'mon even if it's dangerous we know how to avoid the danger." A much caring and authoritive voice over the silence that stretched for a few seconds. She was the last figure in between Amelia and Emerald.

Like Amelia she had an amount of grace in her posture, but more in a layback way. She was a bit taller than the other girls, but still average in the woman length department. She wore a white summer dress with a white ribbon around her waist; she had golden hoop earings and bracelets with amethysts imbedded on them; she also wore white sandals. Her violet hair was all the way down her back legs; they swayed with her movements as if it was alive itself, and had bangs on the sides of her face that looked like bangs. Her piercing red eyes with narrowed pupils like a snakes and can give anyone a run for their money, and as well as the two pearly white fangs protruding out of her mouth. Imbedded on top of her forehead was a clear gem that displayed a rainbow of colors depending on what mood she was feeling; right now it is the color red a sign of adventure. Hung around the neck was what looked to be a Fang Blade; that's because it is. Her name was Seratina Anacondria, daughter of the Great Devourer himself as well as future queen of the Serpentine.

They walked in, following their chosen leader into the cave. Amelia held a lantern as they walked further into the cave. Nova was behind her holding onto Emerald's hand to guide her through the cave; so far the path had been straight with no other indications other tunnels, it was perfectly arched for the girls to walk easily without bending down.

"This place is definitely strange, for a cave there only seems to be a straight path." Seratina mused as they continued forward.

"Do you think this was made by one of your Serpentine tribes?" Amelia questioned, she looked around avoiding direct contact of the light coming from the lantern that is trying to blind her. Seratina paused to consider this, turning to the group, she gave a sad look as she remembers her fellow brothers.

"No, the Constrictai Tribe prefers to have more than one tunnel. This is so they can confuse their prey or attackers on which tunnel to take as an exit. But a straight path like this. . ." Seratina shook her head. "Though it is a possibility, I highly doubt it."

"I believe someone did create this cave, true cave formations have a complex interior. No pattern, water is the type to be an unpredictable erosion as many elements go." Emerald put in, though blind she can see through the shadows. They were getting closer to the ominous power that's leaking in the direction they were heading.

"How do you know it isn't the wind that made this?" Nova question her companion she was guiding. "Wind is a type of erosion as well."

"True to that fact, but wind has way of making rock into dust. Plus I don't even feel wind coming from anywhere in here." True to her words wind was not blowing anywhere inside the cave, not even from outside.

"Okay, now that's creepy!" Nova shivered even though it wasn't even cold.

"Keep your voice down. Your voice is echoing off the walls and we don't want to attract any unwanted attention." Amelia chastised her sister, she brought her head towards her albino twin and glared her famous glare. You know that type of glare that you get when you're caught trying to steal a cookie out of the cookie jar.

"Sorry." Nova sheepishly whispered, then looked towards the back of the cave. "Hey, I think I see a light at the end of the tunnel." The girls looked un-amused at Nova.

"Nova, I think this is hardly the time to joke on such things." Seratina looked at Nova with disappointment, all the girls knew that Nova liked to prank and joke on everybody, especially on Amelia. Mostly because Amelia looks funny when she's angry and starts chasing her sister around.

Nova paused for a minute, she finally realized what she said that made it look like a joke. Light at the end of the tunnel, she's going to have to save that one for later. "No, I'm serious there is a light at the end of the tunnel." Seratina and Amelia looked to the end of where they were walking and stared. Sure enough there was a light, a very strange light though. It had an odd glow to it, a mixture of dark colors that seem to mix into one.

"I suppose this should lead us to where we need to be. Be aware ladies." Seratina quickened her pace towards their destination. Following their older sister they found them at a most beautiful yet intimidating place they have ever saw.
