Prophecy marks another excellent installment. It answers a lot of questions and hints further towards the murky origins of the Farside Toa, not to mention some more wonderful scenery, in-jokes, and that damn brown Akaku that continues to elude my collection. ;-;

"How do I know you speak the truth? All I see is a bunch of weirdos hiding in a camp made out of branches."

- Theran giving his usual guarded but stiflingly edgy performance.

Most noticeably for me, this chapter seems to put forward some strong claims about Theran in his role as the leader. I like how you had him rush in to overpower Calesse only to get knocked out so swiftly then get given the business by Range when he wakes up, telling him that they're actually rather peaceful. It really speaks a lot about his moments of inadequacy as a leader and his abrasive manner, not to mention the fact it sets Calesse up as something of a badass and it gives you an excuse to cut to their spatial movement to the camp. Marvelously executed. :P

Another feature that I really enjoyed was the development of Merall's subplot, caring for Aescela. As much as I hate to admit it, her actions in this chapter really differentiate her from Theran as the more moral of the two leader figures, going off in a heroic quest to save a Matoran. When she split off from the group I actually didn't expect her to find Rhagard yet, nor did I consider that Pauto and Ridor's role as guards would make them the first townfolk to meet the Toa. It makes for a very nice surprise cliffhanger and a re-union of all the Lost characters. Not to mention the fact that Merall has some of the best poses and photography in the chapter, as well as that killer quote about cutting her way through Skald.
