Ok, so, I wrote the original story "To Have Loved and Lost" about a year ago, and I've decided that, since it was my best story, I want to expand on it. So, here we go with the long version of To Have Loved and Lost, which will include what happened before and after the original.

Enjoy the prologue! And don't forget to leave reviews!

To Have Loved and Lost

Prologue

The rust-coloured Toa of Iron took the small stone tablet from the Matoran messenger. His yellow-orange eyes fell on the Matoran glyphs carved into the stone. He cursed at what he read, thanked the messenger and returned to his village, high in the mountains.

Meanwhile, a similar event was taking place on another island some miles away. A purple and black Toa of Gravity received the same message, requesting his help in a war that had broken out far to the north, one between the Toa and the Dark Hunters. He politely thanked the messenger, and returned home, where he spent the rest of the day in a very quiet mood, such was his nature to do so when he'd received bad news.

Both of these Toa would soon meet and fight side by side, they would survive and return home to their islands. So much was fact, but returning to find their friends and brothers and sisters awaiting them was not.
