Measurements
I was reading your story and I thought these calculations might be relevant to your interests: ToaAuserv ? 04:38, May 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * A mio is 852 miles. This is considerably longer than anyone could see: the curvature of the planet would make the fishing rod disappear over the horizon long, long before it had made it a mio away.
 * Canonically, the island of Mata Nui is 357 kio long and 178 kio wide, or 0.357 and 0.178 in mio respectively. The lake the beginning of this story takes place in is far, far smaller than a mio in diameter canonically.
 * Sixty bio per hour is roughly 0.05 miles per hour. For comparison, average human walking speed is about 60 times faster (i.e., 3600 bio per hour or 3.6 kio per hour); snails move at about 0.02 miles per hour.
 * At sixty bio per hour, it would take roughly two years to travel a mio.
