Chapter 3: Ko-Koro

Tali waved good-bye to Lewa as she headed through the icy tundra. She was heading towards Ko-Koro, the next village before Ono-Koro. Tali walked for hours on end with no luck. She was getting cold and tired when she heard a familiar screech. She looked around and spotted the Rakshi. They were heading towards her. Tali tried to run but she was too tired. She fell to the ground.

Suddenly Tali felt someone pick her up and hold her close. She opened her eyes and looked up at her rescuer," Daddy?"" Yes Tali it's me." Tali smiled and cuddled closer to her father's chest. Tahu put his lavaboard on the ground and jumped on it. He and Tali careened down the snowy hills toward Ko-Koro, when one of the Rakshi blasted the snow near them.

Tahu, still holding Tali, rolled down the hill stopping at the bottom. Tahu stood and looked over Tali," Tali wake up. Tali, Tali." Tahu tried to wake his daughter but to no avail.

The Rakshi were coming down the hill now, as Tahu picked up his lavaboard," Tahu!" Tahu looked around and saw Kopaka a few feet away. He followed the ice Toa to Ko-Koro," Thanks Kopaka."" No problem Tahu. How's Tali?"" Out cold. She knocked her head on something and she's not waking up."" I'll send some of the matorans to get you some food and water. If you follow me I'll show you to a hut."" Thanks again Kopaka." As soon as they were in the hut Tahu walked over to the bed and set Tali on it," Your safe now Tali." Tahu whispered, stroking his daughter's head.

Tali awoke to find she was in a warm hut. She tried to get up but her body was still weak. She layed back down as her father walked in," Daddy where are we?"" We are in Ko-Koro. Are you okay?" "Fine but I'm just a weakling."" Why do you say that?"" Because I should of run away from those Rakshi but I didn't because I was tired."" Listen to me Tali," Tahu put his hand under Tali's chin and turned her head so that she was facing him," Your not weak. You were tired and you fell to the ground. That doesn't make you weak. No matter what anyone says, you will always be my little Toa." Tali smiled and hugged her father. Tahu kissed her forehead gently and hugged Tali close.
