Lloyd's P.O.V.
I had barely gone twenty feet into Dusk Forest when I heard an angry voice. "You are not welcome." The voice told me.
"Who are you?" I asked, looking around.
"You are not welcome here." The voice hissed. I kept looking around, trying to find who was talking when I felt a shock of pain go through my body. I staggered, but found myself enclosed in some force-bubble, and no matter how hard I pounded on it, even with my elemental powers, the walls refused to give out.
"Leave this sacred place, son of darkness, if you value your existence." The voice told me as more pain entered my body. I found myself screaming in pain.
"Jessica!" I shouted, hoping to catch her attention, but no one came. For some reason, the voice reacted violently when I spoke my sister's name.
"You know of our student? How?" The voice asked.
"She's a friend-" But my speech was cut off by the voice.
"Lies! You have done her harm! You must be punished!" The voice screeched. Another wave of pain came over me and I passed out.
Sensei Wu's P.O.V.
After my niece let us start, I entered the forest. Everything was calm, but I tread cautiously. Her earlier warning about the forest was interesting to say the least. I had a feeling that this forest was skilled at keeping intruders out.
When some time had passed, I stopped to rest and I heard the light presence of footsteps. I turned to find my brother facing me. But it was him before I had been banished to the underworld, and he looked angrier than I had ever seen.
"Wu, you monster." He growled.
"Brother, you brought your banishment onto yourself." I said unsteadily. To my surprise, and horror, Garmadon laughed insanely.
"I did this? Brother, you know as well as I that what happened to me was your fault, completely and without exception. You had to be too scared to fetch the katana of our father, which resulted in me being bitten by the Great Devourer. Everything I ever did in evil, all the people who have been hurt, the separation of Lloyd from his own father after his mother died, all of it was your responsibility, and all of it could have been avoided if you had just plucked up the courage to fetch the katana."
"I did not realize the consequences back then, Garmadon. You know we were only children back then." I countered, but my brother laughed again.
"Don't you remember father's words? 'Every act has consequences. Even the smallest act can have the largest reaction'. You should have listened. If you had, Jessica and Lloyd could have had a father." Garmadon said. "Now, feel the pain I did as your actions long ago separated me from my children!" He cried, and violent spasms of pain rocked my body. I collapsed as the pain took over.
Nya's P.O.V.
I really wished I had stayed behind with Jessica. I mean, this forest certainly was 'the path less traveled by'. It was hard to go three feet without crashing into a branch or tripping over a root. It took me ten minutes to go what must have been just been five hundred feet.
I began feeling tired for some reason when I saw light ahead. I smiled and started running towards it. I finally came into what looked like a small clearing that lead into a bigger one. That meant I was somewhere near the center. I didn't care about beating Jessica, just getting there in one piece.
I had reached the middle of the clearing when I heard a large growl from behind me. I turned around to find a HUGE wolf facing me. I starting to back away slowly, taking in its massive claws and razor-sharp teeth. Before I got five feet away the wolf snarled and pounced, landing on top of me. I screamed as the wolf drooled over me, hoping that someone, anyone, would hear.
Hmm... You guys are probably wondering why I left Nya conscious. Well, it'll be explained as soon as I finish the next chapter, which will hopefully be posted on the same day. Maybe tomorrow, sorry!
