>A lifetime ago, on a burning island, Toa Lewa was joined to the Bohrok swarm. He did so willingly, to protect his people; he let them devour his mind and turn his axe to their dark task. He only tore the Krana controlling him from his face when it asked him to betray his heart.

>Now, with the devil dead and his duty done, he finds he cannot abandon what he knows now were Mata Nui's most loyal servants.

A 6000 word post-canon fic with elements of body horror, religious horror, and "bug brain that latches onto your face and eats your free will" horror. But hear me out here: what if those things were good.

I recognize this isn't the sub's usual subject matter but any reads and comments are greatly appreciated. 🙇‍♂️
