Realm: THE SYSTEM - Speaker: TOA EXANOH / Subject: CHOLERIC - [“The Sal-Matoran lived within a gigantic fortress so deep within the scrublands that it felt like a mirage once you spotted it. Both the land and the people within it had a reputation for being harsh and unforgiving, but once you look closer at both you realize just how gentle and nurturing each could be.

None embodied this balance more than GAALBAX. She was known for running a little hot, and in her earlier days she was more impatient and irrational, belligerent even, always rushing ahead to face the dangers head-on. During my time with her I learned this was due to a fierce devotion to the people of our lands and her faith in the Great Spirit’s virtues. It pained her to see suffering of any kind. 

She was the leader of the Toa. She still is, I hope. The heat she gave off could cure most maladies and clear people’s heads of gloom. She was a ferocious combatant by nature, but she soon learned to appreciate the tranquility between missions, the peace she fought so fiercely to preserve. 

She also was the one who taught me how to defend myself. I can show you too. A gift from her, through me, to you.”]

Happy Valentine's Day!

Realm: THE SYSTEM - Speaker: TOA EXANOH / Subject: SANGUINE - [“Jolly ONEGIV wasn't just the first Toa I had ever met, he was my first friend. He could tell there was something that set me apart from the rest of our village but that never stopped him from saving my life many times during my wanderings, and thankfully he never lost his patience with me. When I was appointed Chronicler and my life became more tumultuous he was my constant companion as we fought against the chaos trying to strangle our world.

He was the guardian of Hemo-Koro, and he took his job very seriously despite his lighthearted attitude. I suppose you could say he was similar to a Toa of Fire as he radiated a lot of heat, but with some Le-Toa qualities. He could help you breathe and make sure the air in your body circulated cleanly. He was also a strong swimmer, often diving deep within the hot springs that dotted the frigid lands of Hemo-Wahi. And he had the power to amplify himself and others around him, making them stronger and swifter for short spans of time.

He is the reason why I wear an Akaku. This used to belong to him, though it has changed much since then. It can see through objects but can no longer see into the hearts of others.

Not that I require a mask for that these days.”]

Realm: THE SYSTEM - Speaker: TOA EXANOH / Subject: LUCK - [“As a Chronicler I heard many tales about the Fo-Matoran. They were said to live in the deepest parts of forests, summoning rainbows and twisting fates if angered. I recorded these stories but I didn’t believe them. Then I met PREKANO, the Toa of Luck.

He would come and go as he pleased, appearing just in the nick of time in order to lend a helping hand, smile, wink, then disappear without warning. I half believed I was imagining him, but others knew him as well. 

I never saw him use a Toa Tool or weapon of any sort, but he wielded his element in subtle ways. A nudge, a gesture, a word, simply being in the right place at the right time. He would walk like someone who never had to worry about falling over. When I asked him how he knew my name he said he simply guessed. And he was always dancing.

He was never officially part of a Toa team and I think I know the cause. There were rare occasions where I’d see him and he’d be - to put it bluntly - bad. Not evil, mind you, but I could hardly recognize him. Thankfully during those times he focused more upon our enemies.

I still have the lucky charm he gave me back when I was a Matoran. Over the course of my life I’ve seen it destroyed or I was forced to leave it behind many a time, but it keeps reappearing, either on me or mixed with my belongings. I’m glad to see it still works!“]
