We sure have come a long way since then… well, most of us at least. The day my now-brothers and teammates hung me up at the mercy of the townsfolk and experienced public humiliation like I never thought possible. The day I stormed Jamanakai Village with nothing but empty threats and ancient folk-lore to strike fear into the residents, demanding candy of all things. I’ll never forget the day it all changed, and I was set on a whole new path in life. My life has never quite known the definition of the world ‘normal’, but I suppose destiny has slightly grander plans for you when you’re the grandson of Ninjago’s very creator. For me, those desires are far more complex and convoluted than those of the average bystander. One would jump straight in at the mere thought. We all carry deep and sincere desires that given the chance to make a reality, I can’t help but feel just a little sorry for her.
The distant yet excited gaze in her eyes tells me that she desires to make the climb just as much as the next desperate fool yet knows she wouldn’t make it far. But the look in the kind old lady’s eyes who has just passed on the tale once more suggests this tale is one she likes to tell. There’s no telling just how many times this fabled ghost story has been passed on from one estranged If you have nothing to lose, nothing is a very small wager if you can gain everything.’ Is it worth risking your life for this journey? I would never dare to brave the mountain myself, but I have no doubt it is worth the ascent. But one thing is for certain: they have changed. No one shares the stories of their trials and tribulations faced while up there in the wailing winds. But these survivors never once speak about the Wishmaster upon their return home. About how these lost souls seem to have returned filled with hope and an all-new purpose. Drifting through the inns and taverns scattered below the mountain are tall tales and whispers about those who have returned. Those who are brave and foolish enough to make the climb only do so when all hope is lost. These people call him – the lone hermit in the temple – THE WISHMASTER, though he goes by many names as his tales are passed from one wanderer to the next. You may notice a determination (or is it desperation.) in their eyes as they stare into the mist that hides the summit. If you encounter one of the visitors by the foot of the mountain, they won't return your greeting. How many lives the climb has claimed thus far, one can only guess. The journey up the mountain is tough and dangerous. The wailing winds pummel the time-worn rafters in a continuous battle between the cold, the wind, age, and gravity. It stubbornly clings to the mountain's steep snow-clad sides.
He lives in an abandoned temple near the peak of the highest mountain. Phase 1 consists of 10 chapters and commences July 30th. Written by Lachlan Jansen and Ninjago co-creator Tommy Andreasen, the story will be released one chapter at a time, each Friday. Set between 'March of the Oni' and 'Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu', 'The Splinter in the Blind Man's Eye' tells a could-be-canon story of two desperate souls in pursuit of identity, hope and answers.
