Who would've expected a long review like this after all? Great to see you've followed the story!

That scene, were Theran runs, Brorag sits at the side and Merall lies on the ground... it was planned weeks ago. I knew after a while that everybody liked Merall the most and I just had to put a cliffhanger right there :D

The Kanohi, or more the point you mentioned with Nuva leaving it "for no reason" will play another part in his character development and his motivations. I understand that it seems to be illogical by now, but that's one of the plot points explained later on.

And finally somebody understood what happened to Tilira! It's the old Toa of Plantlife prisoner, of course... and we'll how long that secret between the two can be kept...

Yep, the whole story was a fortunate event for the Skakdi prisoner! And like you already guessed right, we will see more of him. The explanation for the silent red guard won't play such a major role later, but an explanation will come.

And now we get to one of the most important part for the continuation. Glonor, later GloBoh and the Akaku-wearing stranger will all be very important later on. Part of it will be to explain the Farside Toa's origin... and the strange case of the Krana already being present is planned like that. But it's still a good catch, not many would've noticed it.

I'm glad you liked the more different-styled ending in this part. I even put a filter on the images of the final battle, making the ones in Chapter 11 more "lighter" to show that it has ended, but it's barely noticeable for people who don't know. The shots you mentioned were once again my favorites as well :)

Thanks for still taking your time to review these chapters!
