Bionicle: The Zarrak Project
Chapter six.
Arrival.
Zarrak knew he had a problem..
The twin suns had set in the west, and how it was
completley dark. Navigation wasn't the problem...he
knew just fine the direction he was being pulled...but
it was nightime. Even the great Zarrak needed to rest.
There was water streaching on into the oblivion in
every directon. The only shelter Zarrak could be sure
of was the Great Barrier, far behind him. zarrak
frowned. No. even if he was dying he would never
return there. Even now he could hear the high walls of
the barrier, calling to him, mocking him, thinkin ghim
weak.
But he was not weak. he was Zarrak.
and now he saw something.
It wasn't really seeing. More knowing. Zarrak knew
that teh palce he hadd been aiming for was very close.
The perfect place to rest.
Morning was near.
Tahu was leaning agaisnt a Vuata Maca tree, fighting
sleep. It was his watch, and he woudl not allow
himself to rest, break his viligent watch on the
horizon.
The other Toa were sleeping. This way not all of them
would be worn out twhen Zarrak came.
there was a rustleing in the jungle. Tahu whirrled
around, magma swrods alite, but stopped when he saw
Gai.
She laughed, " good moring to you too, brother!"
Tahu relaxed.
"Anything?" Gali asked quietly
"Nothing."her brother replied.
"I am so nervous!" gali said, ' we are here,f acing
an opponent that we know nothing about, yet we know
enough that we may fall!
"Some will fall. tahu saud gruffly.
gali blinked, and her eyes narrowed.
"Do not let your arrogance get in front of our unity,
brother!" She said with enough coolness to have come
from Kopaka.
"The Koro's are secure/" Tahuy glanced at Gali.
"yes, I suppose, " gali said, " but whatuse are
defences against an enemy that we know nothign about?"
Tahu continues staring out at see. if his ever
optimistis sister'spreditctions were this bleak, then
maybe there really wasn't any hope for them.
'yet there will be unity, ' Tahu thouht, ' and duty.
and destiny.'
The jet-black sky had fringed of gold around the
horizon. the subns were about to rise soon, and with
them, the Toa were sure a battle would bring.
