- I don't want to sound like I'm whining or anything but... my life kind of sucks.
My memory isn't the greatest, so my earliest recollections are of that egghead Karzahni botching me up and shipping me off to that wasteland, Voya Nui. I heard he died. Good. Actually, no, that's bad. I wanted to kill him.
Anyways. Life was tough, of course, but bearable. We were Matoran. We were made to work hard and adapt. Ah, but then our island got shot up into the ocean. Books and other documentation make it sound so simple. Oh! 'It was dislodged from the Great Spirit's body and was sent flying through the wall of the dome which contained the continent.' No! There was an earthquake that scored nearly 9.2 on the scale and eighty-foot waves that totalled the place. Fourteen died that day and while that might not sound like a lot, we were already few in number. Needless to say, our village was razed.
The Voya Nui Matoran finally managed to recover and we lived in relative peace for a good number of years.
What happened next is well known. Six Dark Hunters going by the name of the Piraka landed ashore and posed as Toa. I didn't buy it for a minute. There was no way a Toa could smell that bad.
And so, they smacked most of us with their Zamors, enslaving the populace. Seven Matoran remained. Garan, Balta, Dalu, Kazi, Piruk, Velika, and myself. We were the Resistance. I didn't last too long though, so I never made it into the history textbooks.
I got hit in the head by a Zamor soon after. By the white Skakdi, I think. Thok was his name. Funny thing is, I distinctly remember the sphere not exploding and giving me a fatal head fracture. I died. But if you remember yourself dying, that means you'd still be alive, right?
As I lay on the icy coastline of the island, I was approached by Infernum. I didn't know who that was, nor did I care. When you're dying, you don't care about too much, really. He told me he was a Great Being and was here to offer a second chance. And, though it hurt like hell to do so, I said no. There was no need for me to keep living.
'So you admit defeat? You lose, then, right?'
That's what he said to me.
I don't lose. I didn't lose when I was shipped off to Karzahni, nor when Voya Nui was relocated.
I took his Toa Stone and followed him.
My story continues in Madness: Genesis.
