GRAH COMMENT PEOPLE COMMENT GRAH =P

Entry Four(why am I not putting a 4 there and typing the word out instead?)

It soon become obvious that this world had its own share of problems- probably caused by the Ungreat Beings. In addition to  lack of resources and a harsh climate, they were menaced by roving bands of Bone Hunters (If I had to guess, they hunted bones), savage Vorox like the one I fought (if that even was a Vorox), and a Violent invasion by a race called the Skrall. It sounded all too familiar, especially since the Skrall sound like chickens, who in turn, sound like Rahkshi. It's 2003 all over again. Or not.

As I listened to the Glatorian telling me these things I struggled with Myself. I had come to Bara Magna of my own free will- Will was someone else. And he's not free-I had been exiled here. The problems of these people were not mine. My own Universe was in danger because of my failings and it was my responsibility to save it. Could I afford to get myself embroiled in the crisis of another world? (probably, since I looked at Vulcanus and it reminds me of Ta-Metru, where Matoran used to fight on the streets surrounded by a crowd over a widget.)

The (not so) simple answer was no, What if the struggle here on Bara Magna took years? What if I was wounded or killed, who would be there to save my own universe? And finally, what if I ruined my beautiful face!? These Glatorian seem smart and capable, surely they could handle things here. And what help could I be? Stripped of my great powers, was I even the equal of Ackar or Strakk or any of the others, or even Raanu? They had years of experience here... I had been here less than a day, but I do have 1000 years experience of sleeping-hopefully I would be able to challenge the Skrall with a sleep-off.

And yet... I turned away once before. I paid so much attention to the worlds I was visiting and the mission I had to carry out for the Great beings that I ignored what was going on inside my own Universe (why do I call it a Universe if it has no galaxies, planets or stars?). Too late, I realized that there were hostile forces arrayed against me. It was because I was so oblivious that evil (well more like good, since they finally gave me a nap) was able to take root In the place I was supposed to protect. Could I walk away again? Could I really turn my back on these people who had welcomed me into their midst? By doing nothing, would I not be allowing evil to triumph here as well? (no, can't be, plus they'd just turn me into these Glatorianika toa-ike things if I succeeded)

This was something I needed to think short and soft about. The decision I made might change the course of two worlds. And I could not help but think-if the only way I could save my home was to leave this place to its doom, would I be able to do it?  (yes, I cou,d since who cars about Bara Magna? Gotta write the next entry soon, since now I have a horde of Glatorianika things and Agoran things chasing me.)

More C&C this time plz?
