Ninjago. It still remains the most advanced realm in the entire universe. Realms like Oronai lost the ability to advance their technology, as they were distracted with the endless war. And resources didn't exist in my beloved Shirai. Not that dead souls cared about computers or tablets. Many of them had no idea what a "computer" was.
Now the First Spinjitzu Master- you know what? I think I can tell you his real name. Yes. The fact that you have read this far is enough. The First Spinjitzu Master had a real name- a name that he left behind when he came here. His name was Taro. The eldest son. The very first Oni-Dragon hybrid, and the very first to set foot in Ninjago. Taro was a name that fit him well. I will call him Taro for now.
Taro had the Realm Crystal with him, and he had the ability to travel realms. Unfortunately for him, there were no other realms. He'd never go back to Oronai, and he didn't know about Shirai. So he would have to make this land his own. With his golden powers, he created the very first golden dragon. It exhaled the fiery golden liquid onto the land, and a massive pool of scorching lava was created. He stretched mountains up from beneath the pool. The Golden Peaks, birthplace of the Golden Weapons. He then repeated this process at the other end of Ninjago. The Temple of Light was constructed.
He was so mighty and powerful that only he alone could touch the golden lava. Taro journeyed to the base of the mountain. Using his bar hands, he scooped golden lava into sliver buckets. He would then transport the lava to the Temple of Light. Inside the temple, Taro softly blew on the lava, and it took the shape of a sword. This temple had elemental properties. All four of the core elements were within its very walls- fire, earth, lightning, and ice. The sword hardened. He repeated this process three more times, but with a scythe, nunchucks, and two shurikens. His hands were scorched and black marks had been engraved into his skin. But these weapons were so powerful that they would create life. All four core elements combined could create new life.
And so he did. With Life's assistance, he used the four weapons to create the first life. Two races were made- humans and serpentine. To disguise his true race, Taro took on the appearance of a human. Now that there was life in Ninjago, Taro decided to create the very first martial art. One that is still used today.
Taro spent many years contemplating the balance and his martial art. He saw the balance. He could envision the endless war in his home land, Oronai. He pictured the future of his new world, and he realized that the war would eventually come over. Taro understood the four elements. Combined, they would make way for an even greater element.
Spinjitzu was born. In order to unlock this art, one must understand the core elements. One must realize that they are made up of these core elements, as all life came from the Golden Weapons. Only then can they activate these elements within themselves and unlock the art of Spinjitzu. Taro dropped his old name and took on a new one. The First Spinjitzu Master.
He taught this art to all that he met as the man travelled around Ninjago. Unfortunately, there was not one person who mastered this art like Taro had. When Taro died centuries later, Spinjitzu began to fade away, becoming forgotten. It wasn't until Sensei Wu taught his students that Spinjitzu returned. That is decades later.
So Ninjago had been built, and life was established. The First Spinjitzu Master built a glorious monastery on top of the tallest mountain in the land. He called it home. He had escaped the war and built a new, peaceful world that he could call his own. Finally, peace.
But this didn't last long. There is always a balance, and we were not about to disregard it. For deep within Oronai, the Oni were creating a dark spirit that would not rest until it found Taro and brought him back to Oronai. The Oni called this dark spirit Overlord.
