Me: I know, I know, I'm writing a lot of stories at once… but I only need to update Thorn's past. I have had so many ideas about this book that it was killing me! I have decided to call it He didn't get to choose.
Thorn: Am I in this?
Me: Thorn… you always ask that!
Thorn: Well, I'll be in the author's notes.
Me: this has nothing to do with any of my other stories!
Thorn: So enjoy!
Chapter 1: Prologue!
(No one's P.O.V)
Lord Garmadon was deep in thought as he rested in his quarters in the Underworld. A small child sat across from the dark lord and the boy was waiting patiently for Garmadon to tell him his plan. Garmadon looked at the ghoul-like boy, "I think that if we send a large group to attack my brother…" The boy cut him off, 'He'll destroy the army and then we would have to retreat and it would be a lot longer to get the weapons… geez, even a four year old could get that." Instead of punishing someone for mocking him, he sighed, "I suppose you are right. Not all four year olds have your power, so watch your tongue." The boy nodded and looked at Lord Garmadon.
Lord Garmadon thought again, "We could use the girl as bait! Then her brother would have to sacrifice the sword of fire to me in order to save his sister." The boy nodded, "That would work… one flaw though… he's not just gonna give the weapon to a normal skeleton, or Samukai. You can't leave yet, so, who to get the weapon from him?"
Lord Garmadon sighed again as the child corrected his plans, "I could send my shadow up there, and with your powers, we could lure him right into our trap!" The boy nodded, "Finally, that took hours! That will surely work! Now, let's get something to eat! I haven't had food in almost three days!"
The boy jumped up and waited for Lord Garmadon to follow. The two left and went to the dining hall. The boy went and grabbed an apple. He used his sharp teeth to eat the whole thing, core and all. Lord Garmadon watched as the little boy finished and wriggled with energy. The boy was extremely hyper, but had great patience. The child went up to some of the skeleton warriors and asked about Ninjago. As they described it to him, Samukai approached the boy, "Look at little ghost boy. You look like you want to have some fun!"
Lord Garmadon knew what would follow and got up to stop them, but he was too late. Samukai pulled out a whip and slashed it across the boy's fingers. The boy cried out as the rope seared his colorless skin. Lord Garmadon shouted, "Enough stop this at once!" Samukai put the whip away and the boy hissed.
The boy ran over to Garmadon and hid behind him. Garmadon led the boy from the room and back to his quarters. The boy rubbed his fingers and tears streamed down his face. Garmadon sat down and the boy sat across from him. The boy spoke, "When are we going to start the search for the golden weapons?" Lord Garmadon looked at the still crying boy, "The search for the map will start tomorrow. Stay here, I must have a talk with Samukai about what just happened." The boy hugged his knees (NOT GARMADON'S) and Garmadon left the room.
The child heard shouting and fighting outside and Samukai burst into the room. He grabbed the boy by the ankle and threw him at the wall. He picked the boy up again and walked outside. He brought the boy to the edge of the chunk of floating land. He held him far over the edge and the boy screamed. Lord Garmadon rushed out, "Put him down!" Samukai laughed, "You mean like this?" He let go of the boy and the boy screamed as he hurtled towards another chunk that was approaching at a high speed.
Garmadon gasped as the boy hurtled to his death. He glared a Samukai, "Why did you do that!?" Samukai stopped laughing, "Oh… I didn't want to kill him." Garmadon looked over the edge and saw that the child had managed to grab the bottom of the land. The boy pulled himself up and began to climb. Garmadon pulled the boy up and Samukai looked down in shame, "I am sorry master, my anger overcame me and I took it out on the child."
The boy reached up and whispered something. Garmadon nodded, "Yes, I agree. Samukai, we start the search tomorrow. You will bring him with you." Samukai looked at the boy in disproval, "He is a child! He will get in the way!" The boy frowned, "I can help! I'll prove it to you!" He walked away and went back inside, his hood threatening to fall down.
Garmadon glared at Samukai, "If you try to hurt him, I will personally destroy you!" Garmadon stalked away and mumbled.
Samukai went and told the warriors. They all cheered when he told them about the boy going with them. Samukai was confused until one spoke up.
"Thorn is the master of shadows. He is also the prince of death, darkness, evil, and the son of Lord Garmadon."
