TNB - Entry 8/10 - Quell Volcanos

After all that, we had failed. Makuta Icarax had escaped with the Staff of Artakha and all we had to show for it was a flooded and destroyed realm of Karzahni.

Tahu insisted that we had to go on, regardless, and carry out the other tasks on the list. We decided to split up. Tahu and Kopaka traveled to an island chain far to the south of the universe to quell a series of active volcanoes. Pohatu and Onua journeyed south as well, seeking out an artifact known as the "Heart of the Visorak." I was assigned to return to the surface of the island of Mata Nui, while Lewa ...

"A long journey where?" asked Kopaka. "I am getting a little tired of running around like a hungry stone rat with no idea why."
