Prologue
Wu hurried towards the sound of screaming, his four little ones trailing along behind him. “Daddy? What’s happening?” Cole asked. Wu placed a hand on his head reassuringly. Cole was the oldest of the four, with shaggy black hair and dark soulful brown eyes that appeared almost black. “Yeah. What’s going on?” Kai demanded. Kai was the youngest middle child, with spiky brown hair and light brown eyes. Jay bounced up and down impatiently. “Daddy! Tell me, tell me, tell me!” He yelled.
Jay was the youngest of the four, with curly reddish brown hair and deep sapphire blue eyes. Zane looked calmly at Kai and Jay. “Perhaps Father would tell us if you stopped asking so many questions,” He stated. He was the older middle child, with straight blonde hair and icy blue eyes. He was definitely the wisest of the four five-year-olds.
Wu chuckled. “Your Aunt Misako is having a baby.” “A baby?!” Jay screeched happily. Cole smiled. Suddenly, Wu heard a newborn cry. “There it is...” He trailed off as a second cry filled the Monastery. “Another?” He questioned, hurrying to where he knew Misako to be.
His children followed him without his knowledge. He gently opened the sliding door, peeking in. He saw Misako looking tired, but happy, holding a little boy in her arms with a few wisps of blonde hair and brilliant emerald green eyes.
Garmadon was the happiest he had seen in a long time. He was holding a little girl with a few wisps of black hair and startling violet eyes. “She’s perfect,” He whispered, smiling as she cooed. Misako smiled at Wu. “Wu, meet Lila and Lloyd.” “Twins?” He questioned, stepping a little further into the room. Misako looked at Garmadon.
“Garmadon, let me hold Lila,” She asked, offering him Lloyd. Garmadon growls, clutching Lila closer to him. “No, you won’t take her from me,” He shouts deliriously. Misako starts crying as Wu grabs Lila forcibly from Garmadon’s arms. Garmadon growls. “If you take my child, then I will take yours!” He shouts, grabbing Cole, Jay, Kai, and Zane and running off with them, their cries for Daddy fading away.
Wu gave chase, but they seemed to disappear. “Cole! Jay! Zane! Cole!” He cried out in despair, looking around, listening for them. But there was nothing. He looked down at baby Lila. “I will raise you as my own,” He vowed as he started walking back to the Monastery, Lila’s cries filling the night.
