Chapter 58: The right path

Chapter 58: The right path

Rain quietly pattered the following day, Ninjago city was as disastrous as ever. Some may say that this resistance against Garmadon may have to blow out their candles of hope, this battle would go on for ages, they feel. The dark lord found himself unable to leave his room for unknown reasons while the white haired girl that was held captive for days now, was softly crying down in the dungeons. Wailing on wether she was truly alone in this world or not. Garmadon could say he felt slight remorse for the captured girl however, feelings shouldn't begin to get in the way.

Through the halls, three SOG guards were carefully trotting by, patrolling as usual. "When can we go on lunch break, I'm starving." One guard whined while bringing one gloved hand to his stomach. The two guards behind him chuckled.
"What? But we just started. How are you already starving?" His comrade wondered. The starving guard replied with: "Well maybe unlike you guys, Steeleye, I didn't eat breakfast." He protested. The one named "Steeleye" sighed in frustration and plain annoyance. "Whatever the reason may be, Fishtank, I don't care." He dismissed the matter and walked a bit faster.

As Steeleye took the lead between the three of them, Fishtank stayed behind with the last comrade of theirs. It was not until Garmadon's chambers that they stopped walking. "Huh? Did you hear that, Gluttonbone?" Fishtank asked the man standing beside him. Gluttonbone was...a man with a questionable weight. Like his name states, he was in a pig in many ways. Gluttonbone stopped walking and felt his ears grow sensitive to a small buzzing noise to their left.
"Bone hears something." Gluttonbone says curiously before pressing his ear to the wall. Fishtank and Steeleye join him, "What do you hear?" They ask.

From behind the wall, the guard could hear a slight: "It's her fault why all this is happening to her...don't feel angry about it. Harumi deserves it." It was clearly their emperor struggling to decide on a fate given to the white haired girl. Steeleye looked at Fishtank mischievously. "What?" The confused guard turned to his comrade. Steeleye pressed his hands together and said the following: "Didn't Harumi try to escape yesterday?" He started. Fishtank nodded. Which led to the conclusion: "Follow me boys, let's let the emperor idle his time. We'll deal with Harumi ourselves." and with the same mischievous look Steeleye had, Gluttonbone and Fishtank followed their comrade downstairs to the dungeons with the same look.

"This can't be happening, my friends wouldn't leave me. Let alone, forget about Lloyd." was what Harumi would say to herself to calm herself down. However, mixed emotions were everywhere at the moment. White locks of hair in her face as well as stained tears on the previous sovereign's cheeks. It had been days on end that she was feeling this way and yet, quite frankly, she attempted to find hope in the darkest of nights. Everyday, the candle bringing her to her senses was burning her down and one day, she'll have to sadly protest that the worst to come will happen—she'll lose her light.

Abruptly, just before she thought she'd have some peace and quiet for today, the front door of the dungeons opens without much warning and in came three SOG guards. Harumi could have rolled her eyes at their arrival but chose not too, for the sake of her sanity and frail body. Three men in her presence, very much capable to kill her. She better not test her chances.
"What do you want?" She called out to them. The three guards only laughed.

"We came here under Lord Garmadon's desires." Fishtank smiled sweetly at his former boss. Just look how pathetic she looked right now. Fishtank never thought he'd feel superior than the quiet one, he never intended on back-crossing her and now, here he was, having a good time, making a foolery out of a defenceless torn jade flower. Harumi lifted a brow. She wasn't sure how she feels exactly on the term "emperor." Sure she said it countless of times weeks ago with a bright smile on her face. Now? She didn't know exactly.
