Prologue: Found by a friend

A young girl ran across the barren lands of Metru-Nui. The Vahki were right behind her, intent on her capture. Not far in front of her, Nidhiki was waiting for her. The girl looked behind her and kept running. Suddenly Toa Lhikan jumped out and attacked the Vahki. The girl kept running and ducked behind a rock," Aren't you a little young to be all alone?" The girl gasped and looked behind her. Standing in front of her, was Nidhiki. He looked down at her and sneered," What is your name child?" "Its Sarah." Nidhiki moved towards Sarah and went to grab her. Lhikan jumped in front of him and yelled to Sarah," Run and hide." Sarah didn't hesitate to listen. She ran and found a small crevice. She hid in it and fell asleep.

Sarah awoke awhile later and looked around. She gasped as Lhikan looked into the crevice. He smiled and held out his hand to her," Come on, I don't bite." Sarah gently grabbed Lhikan's hand. He pulled her out and lifted her into his arms," So what's your name young one?" "Sarah. I'm 4 1/2 years old." Lhikan smiled and looked her over. She had blond hair and sapphire blue eyes. Sarah laid her head against Lhikan's chest and yawned. He smiled and walked towards Ta-Metru. Lhikan reached his home and went inside. It was well after dark and Sarah was almost asleep. Lhikan decided that he should go to bed also. He went into his bedroom and laid Sarah on the bed. Lhikan put his board away and went back to the bed. Sarah was mumbling to herself when he came in. He sat on the side of the bed and gently moved the bangs from her face. Lhikan laid down on the bed and fell asleep.

"But Lhikan..." "Sarah I'm sorry but I have to go. The Vahki must be stopped." Lhikan looked at the 4 1/2 year old and sighed. Sarah had been living with him for a month now and they were close. Lhikan was like a father to Sarah. He bent down and looked Sarah in the eyes," I won't be leaving for another two days. But when I do leave, I want you to stay here until I send for you okay?" "Okay." Lhikan smiled and pulled Sarah into a hug. He gently kissed the top of her head," Lhikan, why do you have to go?" "Metru-Nui is in danger. Matoran are disappearing. Nidhiki is following my every move, and he wants you. So I'm going to find some more toa." Sarah nodded and looked up at Lhikan," What do I do when your gone?" "I'll tell one of the new toa to find you. Don't worry we will see each other again." Sarah hugged Lhikan and then went to the bedroom. Lhikan watched as Sarah went to the bedroom. He sighed and looked at Ta-Metru. The city was beautiful at night, but still very dangerous. Lhikan went into the bedroom and sat on the bed next to Sarah. He pulled her into his lap and looked into her eyes," Sarah I care a lot about you and I don't want you dead. I wish I could stay, but I must go. If I don't see you ever again, I hope with all my heart that you grow up into a beautiful girl." "Thanks Lhikan." Sarah smiled and hugged Lhikan. She looked at him," Goodnight Lhikan." "Goodnight Sarah." Lhikan kissed her forehead and laid next to her, falling asleep.
