"And this Kingaragorn...he is your Turaga?"
"No, no. King is a title; it means he rules these lands."
"...I see..."
These short exchanges had been happening regularly between the two of us in the time that I had been traveling with my companion. It was clear that this warrior creature was eager to found a relationship between the two of us, but I had no need for such camaraderie. It's basic explanations of where we were and what was going on also failed to fully meet my requirements, but so far he was the best source I had. The lands through which we traveled were pleasant enough; large, ancient trees stretched overhead, and many singing rahi lived within their branches. The warm air of mid-day caused large, trickling beads of water to form on my blade, so that my entire body was dripping with condensation. I noticed that the warrior creature kept looking at me with strange expressions. I suppose that it was understandable; I too found him to be wildly bizarre.
"This being that was in my vision, what is he?" I ask, keeping my gaze fixed dead ahead. There was something leaning against a tree down the road...
"Omni? Omni is the ruler of this Omniverse. He provides us with both pleasure and strife, both creation and destruction. To hold Omni in your heart is to hold-wait a moment, prime." the warrior creature said, holding a hand up in front of me. I did not pause in my stride; a Toa does not need to be protected. A Toa protects. Regardless, the warrior creature approached the strange object at the foot of a tree. My vision zoomed in to better examine it; it was some kind of shelled rani, with a large blue mane. It was asleep, so I did not understand the reason to accost it, however, I deferred in this judgement to my companion.
"Ho there Koopa! What brings the spawn of Bowser to this peaceful countryside?" the warrior asked, drawing his weapon. I do not follow suit, and my sword stays attached to my drive gear. The rahi, evidently called a Koopa, remains asleep. The warrior walks over and prods the Koopa in the chest with the tip of his sword. This displeases me.
"Snrrk...eh...snrk...wha?" the Koopa grumbles stirring from its slumber. Seeing a sword pointed at its chest, the creature immediately furrows its brows and passes a glare between my companion and I. Perhaps this rahi is a threat? I am unsure, but I personally do not feel threatened...
