Carving One
My name is Magalai.

Oh, yes, I am a Great Being. I'm a young one, though, only about 3 million years old. You may know us as the super powerful rulers of Spherus Magna or the creators of Mata Nui. I have decided that after a hundred thousand years of silence, one of us must tell of our origins and history. And thus, I carve this record today, hoping not to drive any who read this insane. I must start at the point where we disappeared and work my way back. And so I start at the construction of the Great Spirit Mata Nui. It was necessary to carry beings from Spherus Magna. Heremus and Angonce may have gotten the job of building him, but I was granted the task of creating the beings that would dwell inside him. Many think that Mata Nui himself created the Matoran and the others, but in truth, he only created the Makuta and Barraki. It's no wonder they turned against him, flawed as he is. Believe me, it wasn't easy creating a biomechanical race to inhabit the robot. My first attempts turned out fully organic krana, which I wanted to get rid of. The Zyglak byproducts, however, became inspirational for the Matoran. Heremus, however, apparently gave the krana a purpose: I have not kept up much, but I do believe it was a failsafe in case Mata Nui ever fell asleep. He told me to design something that the krana could drive, like a vehicle. I failed at every turn. Eventually, I went back to designing the Matoran. My first success was astounding. I christened him Takua. Other Matoran followed, like Solek, Radiak, Gavla (my first female), Photok, and Tanma. My last creation, Kirop, I designated the leader. In the language Mata Nui was to use, I called them Av-Matoran: Matoran of Light. Heremus and Angonce put them to work preparing Karda Nui. I then took the substance I created the krana with and made Tren Krom to manage the universe while Mata Nui slept. I got bored with Av-Matoran, so I created six others: Ta-Matoran, Po-Matoran, Ko-Matoran, Le-Matoran, and Onu-Matoran, along with more females, the Ga-Matoran. Then, I realized they couldn't populate the universe, so I created De-Matoran, Fe-Matoran, Ce-Matoran, Ba-Matoran, Vo-Matoran (Matoran of Lightning), Thu-Matoran (Matoran of Plantlife), La-Matoran (Matoran of Plasma), and Em-Matoran (Matoran of Magnetism). I then created Helryx.

I realized the Matoran would need protection from the thousands of Rahi animals I had created. I designed Toa, elemental beings based off the Element Lords and Glatorian. I created Helryx, then Tahu and the Toa Mata. They were sent to Karda Nui, but Angonce turned them into failsafes of the slumber of Mata Nui. Due to my knowledge of them, I destined them to become Toa Nuva. I then devised the "Toa Stone Method" of creating Toa. I created 12 Toa Stones, and left it to that. I also created the Turaga method to create wise leaders from experienced, no-longer-needed Toa. I realized we needed more species then that, so I created Vortixx, Stelt, Skakdi (which I heard a Makuta messed up), and thousands of other sentient species to populate the universe. I finally figured out that Matoran could transform into Bohrok, the vehicles for the Krana. Unfortunately, due to the fact that I had changed the Matoran after the Av-Matoran, only those could transform. I based the Bohrok form off my Baterra design on Spherus Magna. Then, I saw Mata Nui awaken.

I bound Tren Krom, one of my greatest creations, to an island in the Tren Krom Peninsula. I was then tapped to lead a great expedition: apparently, my system of Kanohi Masks of Power was a good system (I based the masks off krana). We used the Spherus Magna heat and cold to form the Kanohi Ignika, then the Great Kanoka disks to help create a Kanohi Vahi. We then created millions of Kanohi, great and Noble, along with Kanoka. We placed them in the universe. I watched one of my brothers descend into madness after being cursed by the Ignika: I remembered then I had made it sentient, along with the Great Disks, but their sentience would fade. Mata Nui took off just in time, and Spherus Magna shattered. We left it for better places, specifically our homeworld of Ocea Magna.

End.

I then created, no

lement lords, to

not destroy

One of my carvings was destroyed, so I must begin anew.

It was not so long ago that my brothers and I journeyed from Ocea Magna to Spherus Magna. When we landed, I was put to work populating it with Agori and Glatorian while my brothers basked in our new-found power. I created them completely organic life-forms, but able to recieve biomechanical implants. I was appointed liason to them, so I was close. I ruled over Spherus Magna, all of it: the forest, the sea, the desert. My brothers wanted to give the Agori leaders, so I took six of them, one from each tribe, and gave them elemental powers. I changed their bodies so they could be closer to their elements. My brothers thought I spent to much time among them, and I did. But they were fascinating. I had dedicated them to us, and they thought we were Gods or something. And so, for supplies, I created an Iron Tribe, my personal favorite, and an Element Lord of Iron. I then made a disastrous mistake.

My brothers had power, but they didn't use it! The problem with secrecy is, of course, just that. So I went to the core of Spherus

Magna. I found liquid Protodermis, which would become a building block for Mata Nui. I took it and energized it using my power. I named it Energized Protodermis, and made sure to close off all escape routes to the surface. Heremus then contacted me. He was building a huge robot. It was up to me to create a species to inhabit it. I created a biomechanical race, with masks, which I named "Tohunga". Angonce told me there was no way to power the robot and asked that, since I was the only one willing to use power, if I would create it. So I unblocked a route to the core, took some, Solidified it, and charged it with all my power. I left and Heremus put it in the robot. It wasn't until then that I realized I may have put too much power in the cube object. I also remembered I hadn't reblocked the escape route for the protodermis. But I didn't worry. I mean, unless copious amounts leaked, an Agori found it before I could clean it, and all the Element Lords were willing to fight for it, no big deal.

Well, the Prototype Robot exploded, and my first true Biomechanical creation, the "Tohunga", with it. Oh, and remember the "no problem" scenario? Well, it happened. Heremus told me that it would destroy the planet. This Core War was ravaging our homeland. I first created a tentacled creature (which would later become Tren Krom's Inspiration). It killed my Iron Tribe. I then created Baterra to kill every armed combatant. But I failed.I thought I could un-energize the protodermis., but Heremus and Angonce won a solution to create another robot. Learning from their mistakes they worked on it, and I created a language and creatures to inhabit it. But that tale has already been told.

End.

Ah, Ocea Magna. How would I describe it? Let me try. It's a huge ocean, deeper than even Aqua Magna. Only one structure exists on its surface. That would be the home of the Destroyers, incredible things as they are. But I must get back to my story.

Almost a million years ago, Great Beings were only the smallest of beings, hunted by everything else on the planet surface. We were forced to adapt, creating structures under the sea, hoping to be protected. Well, too bad. The smallest danger was a creature called a Shobag, which were basically giant fish hunting all that went outside of the villages. They were primitive in sentience, but their size prevented any Great Being (at that time called "Sando", or "prey", depending on who you ask) from stopping them. Then there were the great birds, and the huge whales. Yes, it was not a great time in our history. I myself was a very young Sando, 2,000,000,000 and growing. But at my tender age (I was only an adolescent, maybe 12 or 13 in your world) I was the one to create smaller species. I created mainly pets for fellow Sando. It was only a hobby, but our leader recognized my potential and trained me in creation. The day after my training was complete, the Destroyers arrived.

The only other thing on Ocea Magna with true sentience, the Destroyers automatically took over the Sando and forced us to work for them. I was put to work creating fearsome creatures for the Destroyers. We had to toil all day, working until we were almost dead, rest, then work again. Any who opposed the Destroyers were thrown in a pit with a creation I'm not so proud of. It was called an Opee, and it was terrifying. As a newborn, it was double the size of the largest Sando, and it grew incredibly quickly, so by the time I reached 2,500,000,000, even I, as its creator, could not have stopped it. The day our leader was thrown into the Opee Pit was the day I rebelled. Under cover of creating a new Opee to help with tasks, I created the Colo. It devestated the Destroyer ranks, killing all but one. That one was angered enough to destroy us all. But Heremus and Angonce, twin Sando (very rare), and only 1,500,000,000, had the next part of our plan. Their huge ark carried us off Ocea Magna, where the Destroyer wouldn't follow-then. So we travelled into another Galaxy, draining our power reserves. We drifted, until finally, we were sucked into a solar system, with only one planet and one sun. We named the sun Solis Magna and the planet Spherus Magna. The rays of Solis Magna more than quadrupled our power, enough to defeat the Destroyer, but we were intrigued. Landing, I was appointed to create races dedicated to us. But if you have read my last carving, you know what happened.

End.
