History[]
Shatterspin Issue 1[]
Balun, along with Iriel, Warby and Zuri, looked at the bones of an animal and discussed their next meal. Iriel said that eventually, nothing would be able to live in the forest and Balun added that they would not be able to do so either. Asa found Balun, along with the other children, and they all watched him perform a series of actions that explained what happened to his hair.
Later, Balun and the other children stood outside the Shadow Dojo and questioned how its doors had opened. Then, they saw Garmadon fly through the walls of the dojo. Thinking he had rung the gong and knowing the Lycan King would have heard it, they tried to find Garmadon. They later found him lying on the ground, unconscious. Then, the Lycan King stared down at the children.
Shatterspin Issue 2[]
Balun carried the unconscious Garmadon and told Asa to start running away. Balun, along with the other children, did so. Warby asked Balun why he was carrying Garmadon and the latter replied saying they needed to ask Mama Mawa how Garmadon opened the Shadow Dojo. The children and Garmadon later emerged from the rubble caused by the Lycan King's attack and realized they were trapped. Balun watched as Garmadon threw the mallet to no avail. When the Lycan King got ready to howl, Balun explained that the howl could turn them to stone if they got caught in it. He stood in confusion and awe when Garmadon managed to perform Shatterspin. The Lycan King howled and the children and Garmadon dodged the attack. Balun told them to get in the boat and they all sailed away.
On the boat, Garmadon asked the children what the Lycan King was and who they were. Balun, along with Iriel and Warby, introduced themselves. They arrived at Mama Mawa's house, and they all went inside it to discuss the Forbidden Five. Inside, the children drunk soup while Mama Mawa and Garmadon talked. Iriel explained how the Wyldness used to be beautiful and Balun added that the children were not born when it was. Balun listened as Mama Mawa explained how the Forbidden Five used to rule the Wyldness and lead the Wolf Clan. Afterward, Garmadon asked what would happen if someone without an Elemental Power rang the Gong of Shattering and Balun and Iriel explained that one would lose everything. Balun sat as Mama Mawa told Lord Argus's story.
After she told the story, Mama Mawa said that the five children, including Balun, were the last children of the wolf. She explained that only the children could defeat the Lycan King, but they needed to learn the ways of their ancestors. Mama Mawa told Garmadon he would be their teacher.
