*Kuhtak continues to reflect on the recent series of events.* "I can't leave Avoss behind, but at the same time I don't know where he is. Besides, I have the more valuable mask so it makes sense that they would come after me first, so I'm buying him time by not going to find him. But where do I go." *He quickly realizes something.* "Great, I didn't activate my mask so now they can sense my presence." *He activates his mask, preventing any Makuta from sensing his presence, or perhaps sensing it but not noticing it. He then teleports to a random location on the Northern Continent.* OOC: Avoss was just about to go there. I suppose he'll stay and find some matoran village here. In the mean time... IC: Makuta Umbraia fades into existence mere bio away from where Kuhtak vanished. She freezes all she sets her eyes on with a collected and sinister gaze. Time drops it's pace around Makuta Umbraia in an effort to preserve the scene. Faint thought patterns flicker in the air. Kuhtak had teleported far away to a place unspecified. It was time for Makuta Umbraia to summon the energy hounds, so she gave a telepathic command to her Hagah. OOC: (°~°) IC: Her Hagah unchain their Energy Hounds, who take in the energy signature left behind in Kuhtak's former location. Soon after, Makuta Umbraia teleports herself and the rahi to the Northern Continent.

There is no rest for a makuta on the run. There is no rest for Makuta Avoss. He had heard that many of the others have evolved past the need for slumber while he himself was still almost completely organic. He is tired, but he stays awake for fear of the Brotherhood finding him. There is only one thing he could do to pass the time. Think. Makuta Avoss occupies himself by submersing his mind in the deep waters of morality and of Destiny. What is his purpose? He knows that one already. He is the only hope of salvation for the universe. He will put an end to the Brotherhood. What must be done to accomplish that fate? Avoss has to align himself with his inner Light. He must chose the right thing over the selfish thing. Does that include leaving the village, not bringing special attention to these matoran? That is a good question. Avoss -no, Arkav- dances from one train of thought to another, counting their many shipping containers and naming them all. In the morning, Arkav will find some way to selflessly contribute to this Koro. After his deed, he will be on his way to prevent a calling of unnecessary wrath upon the innocent. Dawn. Soft warmth kisses the Southern Continent after its long absence. Just as illumination greets the world, so too does revelation greet Makuta Avoss. Only now does he set his sight on this brilliant truth. He should not be asking what he can do. His question to be asked daily is what those around him truly need. Avoss had never considered himself selfish, although now he recognizes what true humility is. His focus shall define what he is and how he sees the world. Any judgement on himself must be without bias, and compassion is to be shown towards others. This is who Arkav is. He cares for the weak, and his personal matters never rise above the needs of others. The Brotherhood looks only inward, so their destruction is channeled outward. They try to fix the world around them when it is they themselves who must change. They never will. Darkness is selfish and decaying. Makuta Avoss -one day- will return when Shadow looms over the universe waiting to strike. For now, Arkav is going to stay in this village and fulfill the matoran's needs.

Only a few of the matoran are up, including the traveler. One of the locals decides to secure a conversation with him.
"Blessed day, isn't it?" Her voice is an additional note in the melody of morning.
The visitor smiles and looks the matoran over. "Heavens gleaming with hope, and flowers singing in joy." His spirit shows itself through his gestures, his tone, and his expression. "What is your name?"
"Lumara. I work in the gardens as a primary caretaker."
"Gardens? You don't have to scavenge for fruit?"
Lumara, laughing, replies, "Not for two thousand years, no!" She waves the traveler over to her side and embarks on a small path. "Come here, I'll show you... what's your name?"
"Arkav, and I'd love to see what you've grown. It's not every day matoran take up fruit farming." He follows.
"Seriously?" The Vo-matoran inquires with a smirk. "It's such an effective trade, I'd have thought you might have seen a few in your travels?"
"My travels have been... brief. Enough of me, tell me more about this Koro."

Arkav refused his right to see it, but the entire Koro had developed a strong favor for him. He is the only matoran willing to work without complaint, and his conviction to assist others -even though he was never given a job- in their duties surpassed everyone's understanding. When they praised him, he denied it, saying that he was only doing what was needed.
One day, he couldn't move. He lie on his mat for twenty hours unable to turn his head or speak. All he could do was blink his photoreceptors. A panic broke out among the matoran -not in fear of a potential virus, but in fear of losing their newest friend. It wasn't until nightfall that he mustered enough willpower to rise. From that day forward, he never slept again, instead, he spent his time on even more selfless work.
OOC: Some of you may be wondering why I keep switching between past and present tense. I could explain it with something clever and poetic, but the real reason is that I can't stick with one or the other. I'll chalk it up to the wierd time-zone paradoxs of our RP, and say that the Souther-Continent/GSR-stomach is just churning because Mata-Nui ate something that disagreed with him.

The matoran think he is wise. They believe he was once the sage of his village.
Today, on the third hour past noon, Arkav took The Vow of Blindness. No one knows if it originated from somewhere, or if the matoran made it up himself. All they know is it's purpose. Arkav is closing his eyes in order to train himself to open others. This vow has not effected his work... too much.
Soon it will be nightfall, but will the blindfolded matoran know that? Or is he now in tune with a never-ending daylight, explaining his insomnia? Although he cannot see the growing shadows around him, he avoids them when he walks. Whatever Arkav is doing, it's working.
Another day the Koro can put behind itself for Mata-Nui knows why. What purpose do the matoran here serve? If only there was someone who could show them.

It is Makuta Avoss --not Arkav-- who is struck with the responsibility of his power. Arkav can help a Koro, Avoss can save the universe.
Purging his own darkness may be natural, but it is not fast enough for the needs of all life. He will have to concentrate his Shadow all into one grain, and expell it from his own essence. There is no other way, no other way to prepare himself for the oncoming storm without being caught in its floods, winds, thunder, and bolts.
Makuta Avoss is destined for bearing justice.
Arkav is the mentor who gleans wisdom from what most consider mundane.
Kyn is the weak seed to be crushed underfoot. ...or maybe he is Avoss's escape from supervision?

"But why?" Despair marinates the Vo-matoran's questions. "How can we continue this meaningless life without sorrow creeping into our heartlights, knowing we have nothing to live for?"
Concern ripples the Elder's words. "We have Destiny, until then, we must tend to our Duties. We may not see how we effect the world, but a pebble in a pond will reach the boarders of it's waters."
"We are mere grains of sand, though!" Candela grumbles. His voice is sincere. "Grains of sand in the infinite waters of the Sea. What good are we?" Five others declared their dishearted and similar feelings.
Arkav makes eye contact with both the Vo-matoran and Candela. When he has their private attention in the roars of the crowd, he speaks softly. "A Ta-Matoran has two kavinika, one white, and one dark." Although he only speaks to two villagers, the entire crowd listens to his story. "They often fight eachother for their master's attention, some days the white one wins, some days the dark one wins. In the Koro, other Matoran makes bets with the master as to which one will win, and the master always wins the bet. When asked how he knows, he tells them, 'I starve one, and feed the other. Whom I feed will always overpower whom I starve.'" Arkav realizes the sudden silence of the Koro and shifts his gaze to the village elder.
It is Lumara who interprets the story, for she knows Arkav well. "You have been feeding despair, not hope. Feed hope and these dark thoughts will be overpowered by the lighter ones. We may not know our Destiny, or how we effect the world, but we know how mind sets can effect ourselves, and yes, even our entire village. We do not see our footprints, others do, and what they see can either be straight or unreliable. Let's walk the right path until we reach our destination."

Kyn is the refined darkness inside Arkav. It is all he can do to keep the sliver of Shadow in check. Where had the idea to use Kyn to avoid the Brotherhood come from? Where had that foolish and selfish plan originate?
Arkav has to let go of the final piece holding him back.
While walking through the Koro, he made sight less eye contact with Lumara. Although his photoreceptors are covered, he can not only sence another being's presence, but the other being cqn also feel his watch.
Lumara smiles back. "Yes, brother?"

"A Keetongu had a treasure, but in that trestle was a corrupted scrap of metal. He kept that piece insisting that he could use it someday, yet he never did. One day, he tripped over the rusty scrap of metal and cut himself, poisoning his energy. Eventually he went mad and scattered and smashed his treasure to worthless grains." The matoran draws her eyebrows together. "...are you the Keetongu?" He looks back toward her, his photoreceptors still covered. "Not yet. Will you help me bury my worthless scrap?" Lumara puts her arm around his shoulders. "Of course."

A tall, reptilian Toa enters the koro, accompanied by a pack of Tahtorak. None of them look normal. "Travelers?" "Welcome!" Arkav makes his way toward the strange duo. The tahtoraks grunt, but a young one, likely an infant, blabbers over, drooling all the while. It tries to lick Arkav... Another Tahtorak, larger, clearly an adult, pulls this one up, by the scruff. Levonirax chuckles. "Forgive young Zawahif Oro. Am'alza Oro, his mother, does not particularly like when he goes towards strangers.. I am Levonirax, as the tahtorak have begun to call me, anyways. The little one you just saw was Zawahif Oro, that's his mother, Am'alza Oro." He points to the duo, before pointing to a distinctly blue Tahtorak. "That is Al'azraq Oro, and next to him, his sister, Al'afeea Oro." The female is noticeably smaller than her brother, still blue, but somewhat purplish on her horns, and obviously deformed. He whispers to Arkav, "don't pay attention to her, she's a real sweetheart when you get to know her.." "That is Al'ahmar Oro." He points to a small, red tahtorak, which is currently snarling at Al'azraq Oro. "Al'Ahmar's mother, Am'alza's sister, would be the yellow Tahtorak you see with Am'alza. Please do not touch her, she's very aggressive.. Her name is Al'asfar De Oro. Very fitting, if you ask me," he begins to chuckle. "The rest of the pack will be here by tomorrow's eve." As Am'alza begins to try to break up the fight between Al'azraq and Al'ashmar, Zawahif leaps towards Arkav, grinning eagerly, with a friendly, wide, toothy grin.
