p style="text-align: center;"Prologue/p
p style="text-align: left;"It had been two years since the Makuta were defeated. Twenty four months since the planet was restored to its full, undivided state, bringing three different cultures together: the Matoran and Toa of Aqua Magna, the Agori and Glatorians of Barra Magna, and the "Technians" and "Heroes" of Bota Magna./p
p style="text-align: left;"Yet it has been twenty two months since the planet was peaceful./p
p style="text-align: left;"Now, the planet was practically controlled by Catagra, a massive underground cult of Dark Hunters who worship a mysterious being they call "Sevros". Nearly all live in fear of Catagra, and those who don't are either Toa, Glatorians, or Heores.../p

Sevros isn't some god that we can call into existence! If we need to harvest body parts, then why don't we just rip them limb from limb!? I-"/p
p style="text-align: left;"Hagori slams Temku to the wall yelling "WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE TORN APART LIKE THE PREY OF A MARGUS BEAST?!" He sighs, and calmly resumes with "The body parts must be collected emrespectfully/em, otherwise they are useless. There is a specific, and very picky, way of reviving the great Sevros.
