Prologue
In the time before time, the Great Spirit descended from the heavens, carrying we: The ones called the Matroran, to this paradise. We were separate, and without purpose, so the great spirit illuminated us with the three virtues: Unity…Duty…and Destiny!
We embraced these gifts, and named out island home after the great spirit himself: Mata-Nui. But our happiness was not to last…the turaga sensed something strange on the island, and met, and decided on what to do…
A young Onu-Matoran named Codian was sent on a mission to gather one matoran from each village, sent by Turaga Whenua. The six matoran: Codian, Janaio, Siroll, Kantura, Tumak, and Tokamu, were meant to become Toa…protectors of Mata-Nui. The six, with Toa stones in hand, went to the Kini-Nui, There, there was another matoran, by the name of Macsonn, with his own toa stone. However, Codian had been having visions from a strange Dark Toa, who threatened to destroy the toa, though they became Heroes despite the visions.
They were warned. Codian was the only one who knew at the time, that his greatest enemy was alive and well. Naidoc was a new force to be reckoned with. However, six months past and not one trouble came to the Toa. Janaio became defiant, and took the other toa, besides Codian, Siroll, and Tumak, to protect their villages.
Little did they know, there was a traitor among them: Macsonn helped Naidoc hunt down and capture the three defecting toa: Janaio, Kantura, and Tokamu. But alas, Kantura and Janaio escaped to Metru-Nui, where Macsonn also had run after freeing Tokamu. Macsonn was confronted by Naidoc, who explained Siroll was a traitor as well. She and Codian were in love, and in a vain attempt to protect him, she made a pact with Naidoc. Now, there are two traitors.
