Chapter Twenty-Four:
Together Again.

Lewa heaved himself up onto the shore. Exhausted, he collapsed into the warm sand. Pohatu hauled himself and Tahu up onto the sand near Lewa, before laying the barely conscious ruby Toa onto a beached mass of seaweed.

"Po….ha…tu….."

"Hush Tahu." He said. "You need to rest."

Tahu, oddly submissive closed his eyes and finally passed into unconsciousness. Pohatu sighed and gazed out over the ocean then back at the thick jungle that lay only twenty yards from them.

Pohatu sighed and slumped over Tahu's unconscious form. He was just as exhausted as Lewa, after all, he had pulled Tahu to shore.

"Lewa?"

No response.

"Lewa.."

Still no response.

Pohatu rolled Lewa onto his back. Pohatu winced when he say the blood that was running down the emerald Toa's face from a wound hidden within his lush green hair. Pohatu sighed again and tried to mop up the blood with a strip of his torn shirt.

"Get it wet….it'll clean him up more…"

Pohatu nearly jumped out of his skin at the sound of the smooth feminine voice. There, sitting on a boulder not ten feet away from him was a young elfin woman. Green hair tumbled past her shoulders gracefully. Iridescent eyes shimmered with every color of the rainbow as she smiled at him. The golden tan of her skin caused a sort of halo of light to surround her as the bright sun gleamed down on them.

She hopped off of the boulder and strode over to them. She bent over, whipped her hands on her leather pants and took the bit of cloth from Pohatu. Her then proceeded to the water's edge and dipped it into the salt water.
"Who are you?" Pohatu asked.

"Name's Nighthunter." The woman replied. She tossed her hair over her shoulder and returned, kneeling down next to Lewa. She folded the cloth until it was a two inch square of soaked fabric. She gently pressed the cloth to Lewa's bleeding scalp.

"We'll have to get him to Moris Lane. Huriko can take perfect care of him there"

"Huriko?"

"A Master Mage…he took good care of Child Lady Gali Reanii when she was sick many years ago….this is nothing compared to that."

"Gali?!"

Nighthunter looked at him, her eyes purple. She nodded.

"Yes Toa Pohatu….Gali.."

"Is she here?"

"She should still be sleeping. I must admit that I did go a little over board with the sleep spell"

Pohatu, confused, merely nodded.

"Well we'd best get moving then." Nighthunter said. Her accent thick in the air.

"wait…how do we move these guys?"

Nighthunter thought for a moment before bending over, picking up Lewa and heaving him up onto her shoulder.

"Now you do the same with Tahu Coris here…"

"Coris..?"

"It means star…" Nighthunter said. "His name means Fire Star…didn't you know this"

"Nope. We didn't even know we had names like that. what's mine?"

"hmm…if I remember correctly. it was Pohatu Venri…"

Nighthunter strode into the deep jungle. Her skin turning a deep black to match the darkness of the dense shadows. Pohatu, hardly noticing the chameleon change, stumbled after her, Tahu swung over his shoulder.
"What's it mean?"

"Stone Guardian…it's and old name. Almost as old as the great beings…but not quite."

"Wow, it fits."

"Doesn't it though?"

By this time the two of them had been walking through the forest for around a half of an hour. The jungle sounds surrounded them and the darkness blanketed them as though it were night. Tiny pin pricks of light shone through the trees like stars, barely lighting the ground. What Pohatu could see of the jungle was a mesmerizing mixture of shadows and moving figures. Glowing eyes glimmered at him from within the trees. He shivered as leathery wings fluttered and took flight, screeching and howling.

"Bats?"

"yes. they protect the temple…ahh…here we are."

The trees suddenly broke away into a clearing. A massive stone temple seemed to rise up from the earth itself. Pillars of pure white marble carved into with runes rose from the steps to hold up the domed roof of the glorious temple. Pohatu gazed at the temple in wonder until a sharp voice, from inside the temple cut through the silence.

"Let go of me! I have to see Gali!"

Kopaka's voice was the loudest Pohatu had ever heard it. And the angriest.

"Kopaka?"

Nighthunter gasped.

"Punk! I told you to knock him out!"

The now blue skinned elf ran swiftly up the temple stairs, Lewa still slung over her shoulder. Pohatu followed quickly to come across a most terrifying sight! A strange Lizard warrior was holding Kopaka down with all his strength, and he was failing. Kopaka himself was on his knees, his hands tied behind his back. Ice coated the walls and deadly sharp ice spears littered the floor.

Kopaka, enraged struggled against his captor, nearly tearing the lizards wrists off with his strength. Pohatu looked to see a young man, who looked a lot like Lewa pointing a spear at the raving diamond Toa. Pohatu gently laid Tahu down in a corner, where he say Onua laying there, awake and horrified at what he was seeing.

"Pohatu…"The earthen Toa whispered. "We have to stop him."

"I know but how?"

A bolt of lightning suddenly shot out of the shadows and slammed into Kopaka, knocking him off to the side.

"Enough diamond one!"

A tall young man with long blonde hair stepped out of the shadows. His reddish robes swirling about him. He was followed out of the shadows by a strange blue fox-like creature. It walked on two legs and wore long purple robes.

"Janus," The blonde said. "Restrain him."

The fox strode behind the still awake, but shocked Kopaka and grabbed onto his bound wrists and hauled him to his feet. The Lewa look-a-like lowered his spear and glanced at the lizard man before going and helping him to his feet.

Nighthunter dropped Tahu in the corner with Lewa and Onua before looking at the blonde man.

"Huriko…what happened?"

"Punk..brought him in while we were discussing the Lady Gali and he lost his mind."

"Let me see her!" Kopaka growled.

A tiny pink light suddenly flew out of the shadows from whence Huriko came and flew towards Kopaka. It stopped in front of him. The glow vanished and revealed the light to be a fairy. The small thing glared at him and put her hands on her hips, causing the ruffles of her small dress to swish around a bit.

"Would you be quiet?! Lady Gali Reanii is trying to sleep!"

Kopaka bared his fangs at the fairy. She responded by sticking her minute tongue out at him.

"Kendarath!" Nighthunter said. "Behave yourself."

"But!"

"no Buts!"

"Take him to see Gali…"

"But only the guardian.."

"He is the Guardian!"

Kendarath gasped and tumbled from the air into a sort of bowing position on the floor in front of Kopaka. She was praying in some odd sounding language, the word Mata-Nui coming out frequently. After a few seconds she flew back. A bright light surrounded her and took the form of a full grown woman. The light faded and Kendarath stood, a decent five foot seven in height. Her pink dress became a flowing rose colored gown and her fly away purple hair was tied up in a smooth bun.

She stepped behind Kopaka and gently untied him and helped him stand. Kopaka rubbed at his wrists and looked at the beautiful winged woman before him.

"Come with me." She said.

Kendarath strode past Huriko towards the shadows again. Tiny pink sparkles rising up from the ground where her bare feet stepped.

Kopaka followed anxious to see his beloved Gali again. The fairy glided down a long, dark hallway She stopped at a door and slowly opened it, peaking inside.

"She's still asleep. I guess you can go see her."

Kendarath held the door open for him.

"I have to return to Huriko now..he'll need me." With that Kendarath shut the door, leaving Kopaka alone with Gali in the dark room.

Kopaka stared through the darkness at the glorious four poster bed. The dark blue satin curtains draped beautifully over the bed and the floor. The bed itself looked incredibly comfortable. Soft pale blue sheets and a dark blue bedspread shimmered in what little light there was.

And there, lying amid them on her stomach, sound asleep, was Gali herself. She wore a lovely nightgown with a low cut back and long sleeves.

Kopaka smiled and stepped closer to the bed. That was when he saw it. Emblazoned across Gali's back was a huge tattoo of the butterfly wings she had had when she first became the Avatar. The wings glittered in the dim light. Kopaka ran his fingers down along the tattoo, a faint smile on his face. He kneeled next to the bed and brushed the hair out of Gali's eyes.

"Gali.." He whispered.

Gali moaned a bit before opening her eyes, revealing the glimmering purple of her iris'. She looked at him for a moment before gasping and crawling up onto her elbows.

"Kopaka!"

"Shh! It's ok.."

Gali looked at him and smiled softly.

"Did you come all this way just to tell me everything was ok?"

"Pretty much…"

Gali chuckled and sat up in bed. She straightened her dress and patted the area of the bed next to her. Kopaka crawled up unto the bed next to her and leaned up against the headboard. Gali leaned her head against his chest and let him wrap his arms around her.

"I knew you'd come my guardian." She whispered.
