...from something bigger.
“You have seen him? He is the Makuta. He will destroy us if I do not go.”
Mata Nui turned away. “Goodbye, brave Glatorian. You have shown yourselves worthy of redemption. Remember these things and survive. For my destiny and the destiny of my people lies elsewhere in the universe. I will strive to repair your world, and perhaps then the Great Beings shall return…”
“Goodbye, Great Spirit. We will not forget.”
There was a moment of silence as Mata Nui turned from the Glatorian and faced the empty, cavernous space. The silence of the moment seemed a shock compared to the chaos raging outside the chamber.
Mata Nui raised his hands to his mask, gripped the golden edges of it, and pulled it free.
Instantly the cavern was lit with a blinding light and the Glatorian fell back toward the entrance. Only Ackar remained, watching silently as the golden-armored form of Mata Nui dissolved before his eyes, scattering into clouds of sand that swirled and billowed in the blazing air.
“—a thing that only clothed itself in the dust of our world.”
Far above him, in the ceiling of the great chamber, lights flashed to life like a million sparkling stars—clearer than any stars that he had seen—beautiful in their dizzying intricacy yet terrifying in their size and radiance.
He was small in the presence of such great things: only a dark speck against the light of distant beings...
And then even Ackar fled.
