   Summary

   Ash was seventeen when his father passed on, leaving him with the weight of being an elemental master within Garmadon's Empire.

Then, a seat of military power was suddenly thrust upon him. It didn't take long for him to feel like he was drowning.

   When the Shogun arrived one day, all but unannounced, Ash was fairly certain he was going to face the emperor's famed dungeons for being the failure that he was.

   Then, something strange happened. Someone believed in him.
