Hello, dear reader. I do hope you will enjoy this, as I have worked long and into the night, waiting for the day it could be polished to... it's almost finest. Without further ado, I present the prologue... thing. I would not really consider it a prologue, but it is something to open the story with, okay? And don't forget to review!


Shadow Bound

Book 1: Lost Hope

Taken from the diary of Kopeke the Chronicler:

Much joy has been brought to us upon the defeat of the Makuta and the awakening of the Great Spirit, Mata Nui. Our Toa and our Turaga have formed a group known as the High Counsel, ruling and defending the islands this planet. However, many are questioning if this is wise. Many wonder if this power will corrupt the Counsel. I fear this is a dangerous thing.

The most the Counsel has done thus far is asked for volunteers for a special project on an island— it's whereabouts unbeknownst to us. Myself and several others think it is near Voya Nui; others will say it is closer to Daxia. Either will suffice for the time being, but when the time comes, it's location must be known.

Taken from the diary Toa Takanuva, Spirit of Light:

Today was a glorious day. I had time to actually relax— which is a first in a long time. The Golden Age may last as long as I and the other Toa can only wish for it to.

We have gone our seperate ways, but we will be celebrating our victory with the Great Spirit, Mata Nui, in these upcomming weeks. Us Toa, I mean. I look forward to the time we have to spend as we wish.

I had met up with Lewa earlier, finding him and Pohatu in a deep discussion. I'm guessing that Pohatu had won, since Lewa looked quite furious and shoved the Toa of Stone into a protodermis cannal. It was quite the spectacle, seeing Pohatu splash around in a fairly shallow spot.

We are getting cozy and comfortable, realizing this peace may last for a long while, but, as all guardians need to, we train and stay in shape, just incase. I doubt that we'll be needed any time soon.
