"Long before time had a name, the first spinjitsu master created Ninjago using four elemental weapons: The Scythe of Quakes, the Nunchaks of Lightning, the Shuruikans of Ice, and the Sword of Fire, Weapons so powerful no one could handle all of their power at once. when he passed, his two sons swore to protect them, but the oldest was consumed by darkness and wanted to possess them all. A battle between brothers broke out, and the oldest was struck down and banished to the underworld. Peace returned, and the younger brother hid the weapons, but knowing his brother's lust for power, he placed a guardian at each one, and, in fear of his own demise, a map for an honest man to hide."
