My name is Miniri. I am the daughter of the great Toa Lhikan and Toa Narie. I was born on the island of Metru Nui and raised there a good portion of my life. Long ago my Aunt betrayed the code of the toa and killed three of my good friends from Ta-metru, Le-metru, and Ga-metru. My mother, father, and uncle were able to defeat and capture her. Almost 2 years past and my other uncle Tuyet's husband died because of a shard of that damned Nui Stone. My cousin was left with no one to care for him. My father had doubts about him thinking he'd end up like Tuyet, my mother convinced him other wise.

Not too long after the Dark hunter wars began Metru Nui was caught in the middle of it all. Nidhiki betrayed us. My father was the leader of all the toa that had come to help. All of about 200 different toa. It was strange seeing all of them. I had a blast playing with the young ones that had come with a lot of them. After the war had ended Nidhiki was mutated and he had scared my mask. I do not beleive he meant to though. I still considered him to be a toa even then. He had goodness iin his heart, That's one thing that would never change. A few days after Krekka came to the island. He killed my mother...my father blamed it on Nidhiki as if it was his doing. It was about a few years later my father collected 6 different stones, toa stones. I stuck by him as he got attacked by Nidhiki and Krekka in the great temple. We were able to escape, and we went each Metru but, before we went to Ta-metru he led me to this strange pod looking thing. He told me to go in and not to worry. I listened to him and I didn't know what it was all about. After I had gotten in he shut the lid and I felt a jerk and then nothing. It felt like I was asleep for an eternity.

I remember waking up on a strange island. It wasn't Metru Nui. I had no idea where I was. I immediatly went looking for my father to no avale. I found myself outside of the small village of Le-koro. When heard strange voices I hid in a small place under a tree. I then saw three other toa. One of them had the same mask as my father. The other was a toa of water and the other of air. I didn't know who they were but I knew I could trust them. The water toa was the first of them to spot me. She was very kind, her name was Gali. The air toa was funny and spoke differently than Nidhiki did, that was Lewa. And the fire toa he reminded me more of Turaga Dume's attitude than my father's, he did have a soft spot though, mainly for Gali, That's Tahu for you.

After talking to them Gali had convinced Tahu to bring me to Ta-koro. There I met with Vakama. I knew him as a matoran on Metru Nui I just didn't know he had become a Toa and later a turaga. We talked, it was good to speak with someone I knew. But he then told me of my father's and Nidhiki's fates...It was the second time that it felt like my heart had been torn out...I had asked him about my cousin. He told me that he was alive and well in Ko-koro. I was relieved to know atleast one of my family relatives was still alive.

The Bohrok attacked the villages. I took a job as a guard in Ta-koro, led by Jaller, who I figured out had inharited my father's mask. That doesn't mean I stayed in Ta-koro though. I wandered around and met with some of my friends from Metru Nui from each of the cities. Pawayti, Teyaro, Sironzem, Galeno, and cousin. I followed Tahu around a lot, He was like my big brother, and I did consider him part of my family after a while.

Not even a week before Tahu's team before Toa Nuva, my friends and I had become toa ourselves. We called our team Toa Niera. Why I have no idea. We became apprentices to Tahu's team. We helped defend the villages. When they had lost their elemental powers we were left in charge of the villages while they went looking for the Bohrok-Kal. They won in the end taping the Bohrag in a protodermis cage.

Wasn't too long after that Takua found the Kanohi mask of light. And it was also not long after a great kohlii match that the Rahkshi attacked Ta-koro. They destroyed the village completely...I had known it as my home since I came to the island. I remember Tahu being infected by the Lerahk. He attacked Gali, that wasn't hard to miss. After the fall of Onu-koro I watched at Lewa, Kopaka, and Gali heal big brother. I was glad to see that he was alright after words. Later we all came to Kini Nui to defend Takua and Jaller. Only to have the captian of the guard die..Takua had become Takanuva the toa of Light. He told us all to stay as he decended into the makuta's layer. My team was starting to get bored before Hahli came up and told us that it Mata Nui had to be awakened. After it was all said and done we thought we were trapped in the makuta's layer before Taka and Teridax fused into one and opened to gate to my original home, Metru Nui. Takutanuva brought back Jaller before the gate shut on him and cast the mash of light toward us.

In Metru Nui Vakama and the other turaga told us stories about when they were toa, it was hard for me to listen for some parts of it. I dreaded the thought that my father had actually died because of Teridax. It was actually interesting hearing about their accounts as toa hordika.

I guess that is all I can say. I'm actually surprised Vakama hasn't said anything about me telling anyone this. I'll shut up now and let my teammate speak now.
