The Emerald Melody

Reset begins on February 1, 2025 【Warning: The setting is derived from Cthulhu Gaslamp and The Black Charnoes, with an alternate-universe Victorian-era Ninjago setup. Contains many original headcanons, a small amount of Harumi/Lloyd and other canon pairings. Any out-of-character writing is on me.】 Do you know? The emerald hymn that drifts beneath the starry sky. Even if today is riddled with holes, even if tomorrow lies in ruins, the world will at last welcome the new life we long for These are the worst of times, and the best of times. The streets reek of coal smoke and chemicals. Beneath the gleaming surface, countless claws of evil take root, blending with the glorious image of the city known to the public to form what we see today: 『Landganing』, the nation that stands atop the world, the place countless foreigners scramble to reach, Landganing. Here, tragedy and comedy coexist. Here, sin and justice coexist. Here, mystery and science coexist. No matter how often you rub your fingers over the black-and-white photograph, yellowed with age, reliving that dawn when the sky broke: golden light devoured the black thorns wrapped around the entire city. From the moment Landganing first welcomed the dawn and its rays, departure became inevitable, beyond anyone's power to change. “Witness the parting of kin, and learn of the nightmare of dreams reduced to ashes” “Sever the grudges of the past, and remember the heartbreak of love” “Touch the doorway to your ideals, and cry out at the end of violet darkness” “Embrace the golden demon dragon, and fall into the kingdom of the gods above” “May all be well in your dreams, my son.”
