“Ko-Koro” | Wall of History
Some time later, we are safely back in the Sanctum.
The stranger, whom I now know to be Toa Kopaka, has left us.
Matoro is by Turaga Nuju’s side.
I approach them both.

“I will translate Nuju’s words for you, traveler,”
says Matoro.
“He has been watching you for a long time.
Your role in Mata Nui’s destiny is more important than you know.
Mata Nui sleeps, but you, like the Toa, shall be an agent of his awakening.

“Nuju knows that you wish to ask questions of him and he will answer them.
When you are done, he wishes to ask a question of you.
What questions do you wish to ask Nuju, traveler?”

“Where are the Toa?”
I ask Nuju.

Nuju erupts in a string of beeps, clicks, and whistles.
Matoro is listening intently and nods his head.

“The Toa will unite and find more power in the joining,”
Matoro translates.
“They shall merge their skills, their knowledge, their wills to become Wisdom and Valor, named in prophecy Wairuha and Akamai.
In these forms, they are the Toa Kaita.
The Toa Kaita will, at last, confront the Makuta.
During their absence, the people of Mata Nui must work together to protect their homes and all that they know.
They will need great courage, for the Toa will not be here to protect them.”

“What will happen to Mata Nui?”
I wonder aloud.

There are more clicks and whistles, and then Matoro continues.
“Nuju says that you must understand this: that in creation, there is destruction.
In destruction, there is rebirth.
There is no such thing as void; all things are in flux.
If the Toa triumph, Mata Nui will know great joy…and great change.
The darkness will be dispelled, but we will have to guard our island well to ensure no other evil rises to take its place.”

I contemplate this for a while.
When the silence becomes awkward, I reluctantly ask,
“What question?”

“You are the one that will guide the Matoran,”
Matoro translates after Nuju’s flurry of sounds.
“But only if you have learned what was necessary to learn during your travels.
With the Toa Kaita beneath the earth, the Matoran must fortify their villages and brace for a great battle.
There must also be created an alliance, a small group assembled from whomever the Turaga can spare, to help the Toa on their final quest.
Nuju’s question is this:
To what place shall you lead the alliance?”

This is an unanticipated question.
I thought perhaps Nuju would ask me to do something.
Instead, he is telling what I am to do testing me to see if I am up to the task.
I consider all of the places I have seen on my journey.
I think hard upon where an alliance can do the most good.
Then suddenly it comes to me.
I know where we must go, and I tell Turaga Nuju.

Nuju nods his head in the affirmative.
“So be it,”
says Matoro.
“Nuju believes that you are the one who can accomplish this task.
Take this message to all the Turaga of the villages, and they can begin their fateful preparations.
Nuju believes in you, adventurer.”
