Excerpt One

In the time before time, the Great Spirit Mata Nui brought his people, the Matoran to an island paradise. Here they worked, played, and thrived under his loving protection. So happy were the Matoran that they named the island in his honour.

But a shadow soon fell over the land. The dark spirit Makuta grew jealous of what his brother, Mata Nui, had created. And so he cast a spell that caused Mata Nui to fall into a deep sleep. Makuta’s power dominated the land, as fields withered away, sunlight grew cold, and the ancient values of the Matoran began to be forgotten.

Still, all hope was not lost. Legends spoke of six mighty heroes, the Toa, who would arrive to save Mata Nui from Makuta. Tahu, Lewa, Kopaka, Gali, Pohatu and Onua wielded great elemental powers… but even that would not be enough to dispel the shadows.

On a day unlike any other ever known, canisters containing the Toa washed up on the shores of Mata Nui… and the prophecies were fulfilled.
