Dimensions Apart: Chapter 1
Mahasin
"Aw, hell…" Mahasin cursed. "I'm gonna be late!"
Mahasin was a 15 year-old girl from Africa. She was one of the few children who could afford to go to school, but she always seemed to be late. She was dark brown skin, had long, black hair, which she often held in a ponytail, and brown eyes. She wore a blue dress which reached down all the way to her ankles, because her culture demanded that she wear it. Suddenly, a light appeared in front of her, blinding her. She opened her eyes, and saw a small portal in front of her. Before she could react, a wind sucked her into the portal, and she blacked out.

Mahasin opened her eyes. She was in a desert, and from what she could see, there was nothing for miles around.
"Damn it all…" she muttered.
She knew that she wouldn't last long without water, so her best option would be to find somewhere that would have people. Her dress wasn't helping either, seeing as it was made from material that was extremely hot.
If there are any people… she thought to herself.

Pohatu Nuva ran through the deserts of Po-Wahi. Since the defeat of Makuta by Takanuva, things had been quiet on the island, so he was usually found playing kolhii with the Po-matoran, or running through the desert like he was now. Suddenly, he spotted someone… or something… walking through the desert.
"What on Mata Nui is that!" he asked, skidding to a stop.
Not noticing him, the being continued walking.
"Hey!" Pohatu called.
The being looked at him, and a look of terror came across its face. It picked up a rock lying nearby.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll whip this at you!" said a female voice as the stone Toa stepped closer. "I'm warning you!"
And I should be scared of this because? Pohatu thought, but didn't say. Instead he said, "Look I don't want to hurt you. Just, calm down."
"You can talk! Holy crap!" she squealed.
"Look, just cool it… I'm not going to hurt you." he said.
"How do I know I can trust you?" she asked. "Because I'm not gonna let you any friggin closer to me, until I know I can trust you."
"Do you always swear so much?" Pohatu asked, his patience wearing thin.
The being took in a breath. She seemed to be trying to make a decision.
Finally, she said, "Fine, I'll listen to you. It's not like I have much choice."
"Alright then, my name is Pohatu." the Stone Toa said.
"My name is Mahasin."
