The ninja are back for another action-packed adventure! Dive into the sequel to Darkness from Within for a world of new characters, new twists, and new trouble as the story continues in Flames of the Past.
--------
Three years have passed, and the past is behind them. The ninja are a united team once again, ready to defend each other to their last breaths.
But just because the past is nothing but a faded memory doesn't mean it's not there.
As a new threat rises from the shadows, the ninja are thrown into action, but new environments provide new insecurities, and the twisted road of their mission is revealed to be more challenging than anticipated. Tragedy, rumors, secrets, and betrayals threaten the team from all sides, and their bond of loyalty will be tested to its limit.

"You really need to work on telling the truth every once and a while. Maybe then it'll be easier to trust you."
Mysterious, unidentified sightings bring the ninja to the kingdom of Shillvaron, one of the four kingdoms in Ninjago. Their mission? Protect the Ruby Princess and her prized possession: the Fire Crystal.
Everything is going well until Lloyd discovers a link from their new enemy to his old enemy: the Overlord. But no one seems to take his suspicions seriously. Cole couldn't care less about what his former rival has to say and Jay has his own problem to worry about. Garmadon was recently thrown back into his teenage years--and Kai has taken a liking to the princess. Lloyd's refusal to tell the whole truth only pushes them further away and he delves into the mystery alone.
But the green ninja isn't as strong as he used to be--physically and mentally--so when his Baddie marking starts acting up again for an unknown reason, fear enters in and it takes everything he has not to fall apart in front of the friends he doesn't fully trust.

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾ "Trust seemed like a luxury I couldn't afford." Lloyd had built walls around his heart after years of betrayal, living a double life-one where he showed the world a face of strength, and another where he hid his true self, terrified of being vulnerable. "No matter how many times the wall is rebuilt, I'll do anything in my power to make sure you feel loved" She wore a smile like armor, always sharing her happiness with the world, but beneath it, she kept everything else hidden. Her emotions-anger, sadness, fear-were carefully locked away, tucked in corners no one could see. Later, those emotions will mess everything up. A quiet synergy that made even the toughest days feel a little lighter ≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾ A Lloyd Garmadon X Reader I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS EXCEPT FOR THE ONES I HAVE MADE STARTS AT SEASON 5.

With the Mage captured and Alec riding their back, the ninja leave for the town of Lost Rock, where they hope to find the Overlord's daughter---along with answers about Lloyd's Baddie marking. But the answers they find aren't the answers they'd expected, and they realize their mission is far from being over.
