CN4 - 5 - See Through Illusions

“There!” Tahu shouted. He was pointing up ahead, where three Kanohi – the Great Mask of Strength, the Great Mask of Levitation, and the Great Mask of X-Ray Vision – sat atop stakes planted in the ground. Although a dull gray when not being worn, still the Pakari, Miru, and Akaku gleamed in the sunlight.

“Perhaps our worries were for nothing,” said Gali. “Our enemy has fled. Nothing guards the masks.”

“Nothing that we see,” corrected Kopaka. “Even with my enhanced vision, the way seems clear.”

Strangely enough, it was Tahu – normally the boldest of Toa – who hung back. “Something is not right here. When have we ever found Kanohi so easily? This is another trick.”

Kopaka focused the power of his Kanohi Akaku on the masks. “They are real. No illusion.”

“I understand your caution, Tahu,” said Gali. “But we do not have time to waste. If the masks are there to be taken, we must take them.”
