《I Am, Lloyd Garmadon.》Chapter 9
Advertisement
Lloyd and Wu sat in the kitchen, playing chess. "Checkmate." Lloyd said quietly as he moved his rook two blocks in front of Wu's King
"Hmm seems I've lost this game." Wu smiled "Good job nephew." Lloyd smiled as he stood
"Thanks Uncle. I'm gonna head to bed."
"Good night."
"G'night."
Lloyd quietly walked to his room, careful not to wake the others on the ship... But unknown to him, and all the others, there was an uninvited guest onboard.
----
Lloyd slowly woke, he woke to the sound of helicopter blades spinning round, and round. He opened his eyes and looked around. He was buckled into a seat in a dark purple helicopter. "What, how?"
"Lloyd, you're awake!" A familiar voice rang out
"D-Dad?" Lloyd questioned "How-"
"Sir, we've reached the entrance to the Underworld." A skeleton said from the front of the helicopter
"Good, prepare to enter." Garmadon replied
"W-What!? The Underworld!?" Lloyd exclaimed as he tried to unbuckle himself
"Lloyd, you better not unbuckle, or you might fall out of the helicopter."
"I'd rather fall out of the helicopter then go to the Underworld!"
Garmadon frowned "Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon-"
"DON'T 'LLOYD MONTGOMERY GARMADON' ME!" Lloyd yelled angrily "YOU CAN'T JUST KIDNAP ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!!!"
"YOU ARE GROUNDED!!"
"YOU CAN'T GROUND ME! THANKS TO YOU LEAVING ME AND MOM BEHIND, I WAS SENT TO BOARDING SCHOOL, WHICH I WAS KICKED OUT OF FOR BEING NICE! MOREOVER, I LIVED ON STREETS FOR ! THE NINJA FOUND ME! You didn't find me. The Ninja did, they're the only ones who've cared for me in a long time."
Garmadon sighed. "Lloyd, you're my son. I've always wanted you to be with me."

"Let me guess, Mom said you weren't allowed near me?" Lloyd scoffed
"You're close. She said she wanted you to be a good boy. I wanted you to be like me. And that might be what destiny has in store for you, but if it's not, then I won't let destiny rule-"
"Destiny has it's ways, it bows to no one." Lloyd mumbled, rememering something With had told him. "Destiny has no ruler and will forever rule over all mortal people's, no matter their power, no matter wether they be good or evil, light or dark, kind-hearted or heartless."
"Your grandfather used to say that. Who-"
"Uncle Wu." Lloyd replied "Uncle Wu taught me it.
"The scrolls of destiny were written for our family a long time ago. And you may not believe I can change it, but I will succeed-"
"Save your grand speeches." Lloyd muttered as he unbuckled the seatbelt and headed for the door of the helicopter
"LLOYD!"
Lloyd scowled as he pulled open the door and jumped out, into the trees below.

From the Final World
I have lived a long, long time. Longer than the universe knows; longer than any star has seen or traveling light records. My memories; that is all that is left that knows that length, and that which was seen within it. Then again, that is all that ever did. When I am gone, it will be forgotten, a truth and a history lost forever no matter who or what tries to find it. I think that is why I write this now. A record, or a lament, of the most significant being of all time. It is a prideful exaltation of endless triumph, or the dread condemnation of infinite evil. I don’t know which; I shall leave it for others to judge. I could explain further, of course. I could list the sins that have been committed, the deeds that have been done. Yet for now, I believe this is enough. Her story will speak for itself. About the good, and evil, in the heart of a single girl burdened with more than her fair share. And how she reacted to it. So, I will tell her story. Of gods and devils, mortals and monsters, of legends long forgotten and civilizations long turned to dust. And in the end, I hope she knows herself, whether it is salvation, or destruction, she should receive.

LIlith's Firstborn
The legend says that the Forbidden Fruit made the first two humans – Adam and Eve – intelligent, but what if it was the other way around? What if the Forbidden Fruit took most of their humility, their intelligence, their kindness, etc. away and turn them into the discriminating, angry, and hateful humans that they are? What if the only way to turn back into their former selves was to lead a good life on Earth to cleanse their souls? The legend also says that Lilith was a demoness who fled from Heaven and was granted mercy when she showed humility and proved that her soul was still worthy of saving despite all her wrongdoings. What if, after centuries of sinning, Lilith finally found her way back to kindness? What if God forgave Lilith for her crimes? What if she gave birth to a baby after she had repented? And what if that baby is the only human soul in existence that isn’t tainted by the Forbidden Fruit or her past sins? Tallitanya of Lilith inherited her mother’s immortality and grew up at a rate much slower than an average human so she had witnessed the rise and fall of empires even though she is physically and mentally 21 years old. She was born on Earth, but she moved to Heaven when she was physically 5 years old and didn’t return until she was 18 years old. She was tasked, by God himself, to guard over the Forbidden Tree which had since been replanted on an isolated island on Earth. She loves that job, and she loves that she was given direct instructions instead of having to figure out what God’s so-called ‘mysterious plans’ for her was. Centuries went by. Tallitanya is 21 years old when the Final Judgement is nigh. As an immortal who has yet to have a real affiliation with Heaven or Hell, Tallitanya has received a personal invitation from the Antichrist who wishes to recruit Tallitanya. Heaven also sends its angel – Michael – to inform Tallitanya that as a human, her soul would also be judged by God. She was ordered to leave her post as the Forbidden Tree’s guardian so that she could get to know the other humans before she makes an actual decision about who she wants to align herself with. The second she steps out of the island, it disappears. Turns out, her message from God was faked, and so was her mission. The devil had tricked her, and as the guardian of the Forbidden Tree, she must recover the tree and the island, or humanity will perish within the year.
