Serpentine Queens part 5

Art by LuxArtKing.

(Well, in the end I ignored my own rule and added the anacondrai. And yes, I know, it took me a long time to get this part out, and I apologize. I just hope you like it, that's all.)

You had managed to free the four tribes and earn the trust (and perhaps something more~) of their queens, so you thought the time had finally come to launch your attack on Ninjago City.

However, the queens stopped you. According to them, if they truly wanted to secure victory, they would need something more: the fifth and final Serpentine tribe to join them. The Anacondrai, the most dangerous and feared of all the Serpentine tribes.

So, once again, you set out alone in search of this last tribe. After a long journey, you managed to find their tomb, but unfortunately, what you found inside was not what you expected. Instead of an army hibernating for centuries, you found remains. Bones everywhere. It seemed that, during their seclusion, the Anacondrai had ended up devouring each other until none remained alive.

Or at least... that's what it seemed.

Even so, you held onto a small hope: that at least the queen had managed to survive. With that thought in mind, you left the tomb and gathered supplies: food, meat, anything that might attract a predator that hadn't fed in centuries.

Now all that was left was to wait.

Somewhere, in the darkness of that forgotten tomb, something might still be alive. And if Queen Anacondrai had truly survived... sooner or later she would come looking for food.

And Ninjago wouldn't be ready for what was about to emerge.
