Chapter Thirteen:
Discoveries

Gali lay in bed staring at the ceiling.

She had come back from that strange place silent and dazed. The others asked her about the bracelet but she said that she had bought it.

She had gone up to bed with out any dinner or a word to the others.

Gali lifted her wrist and looked at the bracelet, which she wouldn't take off for the world. The tiny sword glittered in the dim lights of the village below.

Was it responsible for that memory?

It took her a while to figure out that what se had seen was a memory rather than a vision of the future.

She sighed and looked at Kopaka, who was sound asleep in the bed on the other side of the room. It was well past midnight, he had a right to be asleep.

She smiled faintly as he rolled onto his back, his hair spreading out on the pillow.

Her smile faded and she stared upwards again.

What was this feeling?

Ever since she had returned from the mine she felt lost and lonely. She also felt something was tugging at her heart and mind. Was someone trying to tell her something?

She fingered her crystal.

It had been dead ever since she had returned and saw Whenua performing a sort of blessing on the village to rid it of the Iisteks.

She sighed.

"Maybe it's all in my head." She mumbled.

She rolled over onto her side and waited for sleep to come. It came a few minutes later, but it carried with it a new memory. One she would never forget.

She sat on the small glass bench, her hands moving gently across the silky cloth as she embroidered a small blue dragon onto it.

She smiled lightly at the small creatures and children that had gathered about her to watch.

"Lady Solaris," A small girl said. "Tell us a story."

She didn't say anything.

"Please?" the assembly all said at once.

This caused her to smile.

Very well," she said. "Gather round."

The children all moved closer and sat down at her feet.

"What do you want to hear?" She asked.

"Something about the time before us!" piped up a little elf boy named Lewa, but everyone just called him Punk.

"Yes! One about the past!" Piped up another little boy.

She smiled.

"Oh yes Lady Solaris,"

She looked up to see her protector and friend approaching her. He was a tall humanoid lizard warrior with gold eyes and crimson scales. He wore a simple brown loin cloth that dragged along the ground and a special pendant that proved he was her protector.

"Oh –T-" She said to him. "Why must you be such a tease?"

-T- flicked his tongue like a snake would.

"Because it's my way."

He leaned against one of the trees that stood in the small garden.

She smiled at him before looking down at the children.

"Why don't I tell you a story about a world none of you have ever heard of before? A world where there is pain and suffering, where children like you have very little fun a barely enough food to fill their bellies."

The children's eyes widened.

"Where is this place?" Punk asked.

"Far away, beyond the mountains and the sea. Down below this Paradise in which we live. In the mortal realm."

She wove her story carefully, putting in details of how this world worked and of how cruel the people could be.

The small group would gaze at her in wonder when she told them of the places that these people lived in and about how they had no magic of their own.

She was about to continue with her story when:

"Lady Solaris!"

She looked up from her embroidery only to see an elf and a fairy coming towards her quickly, both looking worried.

She tucked a few strands of her silver hair behind one of her ears.

"Night Hunter, Kendarath." She said as they stopped before her. "What is the matter."

The elf, Night Hunter, bowed before running her fingers through her pure crystal green hair.

"My Lady, War Mage Huriko requests your immediate presence." She said.

"Why?"

The fairy, Kendarath, Had perched on Night Hunter's shoulder.

"Something has happened and Mata Nui himself has gone off to deal with it." She said breathlessly, "So Huriko has asked for your council."

She was on her feet in an instant, her slivery hair flaring out ever so slightly.

"Take me." She said.

The children groaned about the fact that the story had ended for the time being.

She followed Night Hunter as fast as she could.

She could feel –T- behind her so she knew she was completely safe.

They stopped at the door to Huriko's rooms. Night Hunter looked at her.

"This is where we must leave you." She said. "For only you may enter."

She nodded and went inside quietly closing the door behind her.

"Huriko?" She asked quietly.

"Over here."

She turned to see the golden haired War Mage sitting in a large chair writing in a leather bound book, The Book of Legends.

"Why have you called me?" She asked.

He looked up at her, his blue eyes gleaming.

"Something has happened." He said. " Makuta, the evil one, has created an army. An army of awesome power. He has begun to wage war against us."

"But why?"

"Why else? To take Mata Nui's place of course." Huriko said. " He has already sent a small army of demon's out onto the ethereal plains. Mata Nui has gone out to meet him, alone."

She gasped.

"Why didn't he take me with him?"

"He wants you to stay where it's safe."

"But-"

"I'm sorry Solaris,"

She looked at the ground.

"War is eminent, isn't it?" She asked.

Huriko looked at the ground.

"I'm afraid so," He said. "I'm afraid so."

Gali awoke with a start.

She sat bolt upright in bed, her heart pounding.

What was that?

Why did she dream such a thing?

Who was Solaris and why was she so sad?

Gali covered her mouth with her hands and choked back a sob. Tears began to stream freely down her face.

Why was this happening to her? Had she done something wrong?

She crawled out of bed and left the room with out even bothering to change out of her nightshirt.

She crept silently out of the inn and into the darkened city.

She had t go back to the Deepening Wall, she just had too.

She made her way back to the mine and into the tunnel that led her to the wall, completely by memory alone.

She walked quietly down the tunnel not caring that the pebbles that littered the floor hurt her feet.

Without warning, the jewel began to light her way.

She smiled as it glowed gently.

"Thank you." She muttered to it.

She reached the wall and began reading over the hieroglyphics that covered it, hoping to find some answers.

Who was this Solaris woman?

Why did she haunt her dreams?

Finally, after what felt like hours, she found something.

The writing said that the Lady Solaris had been Mata Nui's bride long before the island had been made.

They had had one child together, The Avatar.

The writing didn't say who this child was or if it was male or female.

She read more.

It said that when Makuta put Mata Nui to sleep he had also killed the Lady Solaris but had not found her child.

Makuta had never found out that this child was in hiding among the Toa.

It was this child that stood in the way of Makuta taking over Paradise and ruling all. Thus, he created the Dark Lords to control the island while he searched for the child. He did not find it however. He returned to find the island his brother had made in a strange sort of peace.

Confused he set about trying to learn why. He soon found that the Toa Leyna had put them under a deep spell that sent them deep into the ground, where they now slept. The Toa Leyna had soon after left for the stars to return again later to fight.

Gali sighed and wiped some sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand.

That explained a lot.

So this Solaris girl was the Avatar's mother.

But why was Gali seeing her?

She shrugged, to tired to even think about it.

She slowly made her way back to the inn, praying that no one or nothing would see her.

She thanked Mata Nui when she got back to her room without incident.

"Where have you been?"

Gali jumped at the sound of Kopaka's voice.

"I just needed some fresh air that's all." Gali lied.

The Blue Toa crawled back in bed before he could say anything to her.

She was asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
