.....Zarayna stood among the trees of the island he and his Toa Iden had fled to. He had the one thing he longed for here. Peace. A sigh came from the Toa of sonics. How could he ever enjoy peace without his fellow Toa. Why can't I ever forget the past? he thought. once his team had numbered twelve. Yet now they had only a half of that number still living. He was leaving his past behind him. Now he only hoped to start a new life. A new beginning.

 

I'm waking up

The world is turning

The sun is shining again

I'm holding on

To things I shouldn't

It's time to let them go

 

.....Those words rang once again in his head. Niren, Toa Iden of water, had sang that. He remembered sitting around with his Toa, in between missions, listening to Niren's singing. A slight smile crossed Zarayna's face as he remembered how he had tweaked with her voice with his power over sound. He had found out what the term 'drowning on dry land' had meant that time. but now she was gone. as well as five other Toa Iden. Murdered. For no reason. Because of the knowledge he and his oldest companion, Groth, possessed. Murdered by a organization dedicated to the good of the universe.

 

I've been on a losing streak

Hit so hard I couldn't speak

But when I hear Your voice it fades away

 

.....Zarayna sighed. Why couldn't he get over it? He had avenged them. He had defeated the one who had caused it, leaving her to weak to move. Yet still the memories plagued him. Of the many battles and adventures he had shared with his team. And again he sighed. Why was life so cruel?

 

And I can hear You say

It's a brand new day

The pain goes away

I'm headed for the door

And I'm going home

 

.....Because that's the way the world works, Zarayna, a voice sounded in his head. Zarayna whirled around, his hand on the hilt of his blade. He relaxed when he saw that it was only Celetha, Toa of Psoinics. Zarayna sighed. Was it that hard to get some time alone?

 

....."Celetha! Why do you always have to sneak up on people?" he asked. She grinned. That was Zarayna for you. Always going off alone to nurse his wounds. Whether mental or physical. And never accepting help or comfort.

 

I'm going home

I'm going home

I'm going home

 

Your love, it burns

Away my darkness

You guide me when I'm blind

You are the light

That shines inside me

Showing me I'm

So much more

When I've been on a losing streak

Hit so hard I couldn't speak

But when I hear Your voice it fades away

 

 

And I can hear You say

It's a brand new day

The pain goes away

I'm headed for the door

And I'm going home

I'm going home

I'm going home

I'm going home

 

Take me into Your arms

My home lies within Your heart
