I am Ixaka. I am the son of Toa Tuyet and Toa Ataneko. I am only a few months younger than my cousin. My mother was strange from the start. My father saw that but dismissed it pretty quickly. I don't think he even saw that she would betray us all. I had just heard about from Lhikan when he came to talk to father. I over heard the intire conversation. After Lhikan went back to his Metru my father went to Ga-metru and returned with a sharp of a strange stone.
I soon watched over the next few years as my father slowly lost his elemental powers. One day he was just really weak and he fell right in front of me. I ran out and yelled at the top of my lungs for some one to come. At least Gelon came. After she examined my father she ran out toward Ga-metru. I wasn't sure what was going on...I was scared. She came back with Narie who tried to heal him. It didn't seem to work. I watched my father die, I felt useless...First my mother went crazy then that. Narie found the shard that my father had been carring around. She crushed it as if it were evil. I later found out it was a piece of the Nui stone, the same thing that my mother had when she betrayed us. Narie took me with her to meet with Lhikan and Nidhiki. I was just scared and upset over what had happened. Nidhiki and cousin did try to comfort me, I heard everything that was going in the background. Lhikan thought I'd end up like my mother. I'm just glad Narie convinced him other wise. I can't really remember what happened after that.
Over the next few weeks, I stayed with Nuju as his apprentice. I was really young so I just thought he had his head in the clouds a lot. He didn't noticed half the time I wandered off to see cousin. I remember going to each Metru one time and actually running into a dark hunter in Le-Metru. He looked like a rahi as first but he attacked me. I ran to find someone only to have a strange toa protect me. I remember the mask he was wearing, it was the akaku like me, but he was no toa of ice. He looked like he had a mix of elements. I later found out that it was a war that was going on. Lhikan was calling the shots. Cousin and I were just playing with the other young ones.
After the war ended I heard that Narie and Lhikan had been attacked. I quickly just went to Ga-Metru to see what happened. I saw Miniri outside she looked frightened, just as I had been when my father died. She also had scars on her mask, fresh ones at that. Lhikan came out, he looked like he had been crying. He told us that Narie was gone. I couldn't believe what I heard. All of the toa of Ice had died, my mother went insane and was prenounced dead after disappearing, Nidhiki betrayed us, and now this. Lhikan was the only toa in Metru Nui left.
About 3 or 4 years later he Vahki were around Metru Nui more than usual. Turaga Dume told all of us to go to the coliseum. I met up with a few of my friends there and not even a half hour later I saw toa come out onto the playing field. I recognized one of them. It was Nuju. Anything that was said I believed but I don't think Dume bought any of it. After Nuju Whenua and Onewa were caputered Dume ordered us to the main halls of the coliesum. Next thing I knew I was put into one of those sphere things like all the others were.
I was reawakened on Mata Nui by the new turaga. There I served as a architect until the bohrok attacked. When they did I became a guard to protect the village. They didn't really attempt to attack the village though. Before the Bohrok-kal came around me and the rest of my team including one that I hated became toa. I'm sure my cousin has already explained the part about us becoming apprentices.
One of the days before Takua found the mask of light I was attacked by two bohrok, I got rid of the one but the other knocked the sword out of my hand and through part of my arm. Kopaka came just in time and blasted the other bohrok out...so to speak anyway. After Takua found the mask of light Kopaka told me to remain in Ko-koro while he was gone. I did may part and remained, that was until the Rahkshi attacked. I held them off the best I could but they quickly just turned and left, going after someone else. Which just happened to be Jaller and Takua.
After all this had happened and we had returned to Metru Nui, the turaga told us about the time they were toa. I remember the coliseum part well. I didn't however think that Lhikan, of all toa, would die because of the makuta.
Well That's all for now. I better be going before Nuju catches me here...
