A/N: Hi! I haven't written in ages, so I apologize if there are any mistakes.

This chapter is going to be short, because it's a prologue. Further chapters will be 1500 to 2000 words. Hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Ninjago, (LEGO does) or 'Memories' (Which belongs to Within Temptation).

Oh, and by the way, if any of you happen to know of anything actually called Night Angel, I promise I didn't copy!

All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears

- 'Memories' by Within Temptation

It was the ninth of June, anniversary of the Overlord's defeat. He should have been celebrating, enjoying the night, but all he felt was sadness. Yes, the Overlord had been defeated, but at a terrible price. One that he had never truly forgiven himself for.

Lloyd slipped into the garden, watching the light flooding from the windows a little longer. He turned back around and started along the path that snaked its way through the bushes. He ignored the hissing breath of the wind, and the spectral fingers of the moonlight that teased his imagination.

He picked his way around some Evergreen shrubs, thinking of the ancient grounds he now stood in, and the layout of them. Lloyd had never really understood why Sensei would want the library in a separate building to the monastery, but he was Sensei after all. Not many people understood him. Lloyd shook his thoughts away, pulling a key from his pocket as he approached the library. The door was rusty, despite the hinge's monthly oiling, and creaked as he forced it open. He pocketed the key, flicking on the light switch as he did so. A flickering light, growing ever brighter, filled the building. Lloyd took a step inside, making a hasty retreat when the wood almost caved in from underneath him. The building had decayed a lot since that time last year. He made a mental note to repair it the next day.

Lloyd again stepped inside, but this time stood on the wooden beams that ran through the floor. Before he had wondered about their practical use, now he was just thankful. He could research ancient Ninjagoian methods of building later.

He walked the corridors, the first to see the insides of the building since he came in last time. The floor, for some reason, got stronger the further he went in. Lloyd walked into the heart of the building, quickening his pace. He slowed down at one aisle, walking to the end before stopping. Lloyd scanned the spines until he saw the one he was looking for.

Lloyd picked up the book, disturbing the dust that imprinted its stay on the shelf. It was normal enough; a plain brown cover and thin paper, but the words inside were what counted to him. Memories of his past life, one of adventure and excitement. Of wit and sarcasm. Of tears and loss.

As he was about to open the cover, relive that life, he stopped, unsure. He ignored the feeling, flipping over the cover to see the small, neat print on the first page. Lloyd recognised it as his own, different by only one year.

Dedicated to Kimi, the only family I had.

Lloyd could still remember writing it, tears springing to his eyes at the memory. Wiping them away, he flipped over the page and spun back into the past.

A/N: Soo...

What do you think?

Again, really sorry about the short chapter, but it is a prologue. I will be writing a lot tomorrow, so hopefully there will be another chapter soon, and I aim to make it around 2000 words this time...

Got any comments or constructive criticism?

Please tell! :)
