The Letter: We Are Not Alone

From Zane Julien: The Mountain of a Million Steps, Ninjago

To Lloyd Garmadon: Stiix, Ninjago

Greetings Brother,

The following message contains my final farewell to you, as well as Ninjago itself. The grass has burned down to ashes under the Overlord's wrath. We have prevented his reign thrice, yet, there is nothing left for us. Three is more than sufficient.

Had our brothers been here, I would have remained without hesitation. After much vacillating, my decision is solidified. I will depart when the plum blossoms have fallen.

Do not be disheartened. Whenever trouble brews in Ninjago, I will return to fight beside you, for we swore an oath. "Brothers in arms we may be. We do not share the same blood, but we are bonded by it. If one cries for help, the other hears him." Let us uphold that oath.

Our brothers may have left us before their time, and though the dead cannot watch over our pained souls, we must look after their families, and honor them for the generations to come. I am taking Jay's parents with me. Please visit Lou when the opportunity arises. Comfort your mother.

Lloyd, I have watched you grow up (quicker than most siblings, admittedly), and I know you fear being left alone. So do I. But remember, even if we are alone in this world, when we depart, we will not be. We are not alone. Be safe.

Your Brother,

Zane Julien
