Reka
never got a chance to tell Turaga Dume about Derone's death. Soon
after the Toa found the Great Disks and defeated the Morbuzahk, all
the Matoran were ordered to the Coliseum.
I hid at the top of a
Knowledge Tower in Ko-Metru, which gave me some time to think about
what I had become.
Had I really been transformed into a cruel,
inconsiderate creature, just like Reka said? Was that what a Toa
should be?
Was the taste of revenge not enough? Did I have to
resort to killing other Matoran and stealing their bodies?
If
Lhikan knew I would become such a monster, why did he give me a Toa
Stone in the first place?
With so many questions spinning in
my head, I never noticed the tremors of the earth and the constant
cracking of the towers nearby.
Then, the quake came.
The
cliff I was sitting on split in half, and I was fprced to prepare to
jump to the ground far below.
Changing my Huna to a Miru, I
noticed my staff rolling towards a deep crevasse in the crystal.
I would have saved it, had not the tower begun to shake, and I finally jumped off the cliff, saying goodbye to all I held dear.
I
sighed as I put down the piece of charcoal and set down the writing
tablet. The
tale of the Visorak, and the war of Metru Nui.
THe task of writing my story hadn't been easy. It had
brought back a lot of pain and anger, things that I could not
control.
Then I shivered, for there was still more pain to come. A
story of betrayal and disguise, of power lost and hope faded.
