Where Were You?
I will never forget the day that Bionicle ended. I will never forget where I was. I doubt any of us will. Like most of you, I had just logged on. Fresh off of school, I turned to my favorite site to cheer me up. Bionicle has always been a hobby for many, but to me it means so much more. Bionicle has been a way of life to me for these past few years. When my life seems grim and dark, as if there's no hope for me, I always recite some line from Bionicle to cheer me up. One of my favorites comes from Tahu. "Where wisdom and valor fail, all that remains is faith. And it can overcome all."
Thus, I turned to BZPower, hoping that it would be able to shine a ray of joy into my otherwise bleak and hopeless existence. But alas, it was not the case. I'll never forget the headline. "An Important Announcement Regarding Bionicle." It seems almost misleading. I still can't believe that something so tragic could also be so important.
I'll never forget that sinking feeling as I read the article. The cornerstone of my life had been forcibly removed. I couldn't cope with it. It seemed so surreal. I turned to the Kopaka figure on my desk. He had been my first, and I always treasured him for that.
"Well, my old friend," I whispered, my voice barely audible, "It looks like this is the end."
"Never," he replied, "So long as you will remember us, we will live on in your heart."
And then I said, "Holy cow a talking Bionicle."
