Shinnok was imprisoned in the Netherrealm. Or rather, that's what the fools of Earthrealm thought.

Since the beginning, Shinnok has been acting under the nose of the fool Raiden, forming plans, strategies, allies. But of course, even so focused on absolute power, on the amulet, he would never forget you, his beloved.

No, no, never.

Trying to steal all of Earthrealm's energy with him, planning to steal the powers of Jinsei, his most loyal and faithful companion. D'Vorah is exceptional, Quan Chi especially, but you, oh, you.

He can't wait to surprise you, to wrap his pale hands around your throat and order you to come with him. Shinnok loves your obedience. From the moment things started to turn in his favor, Shinnok came to you.

Devilishly angelic as always. How he loved killing Earthrealmers alongside you. Silently, like a hunter preparing to pounce on his prey, he approaches from behind. Slowly, his long pale fingers run over the back of your neck and down your spine.

“Fear not,” he whispered, bending you against the table gently. You were obedient before and he will not tolerate the opposite now. You are meant to be his.

“It’s me, darling. Didn’t you miss me?” Shinnok murmured, grabbing your chin and turning your neck, forcing you to look at him out of the corner of your eye. “Don’t shout.”
