The Last Breath of Janneus

Story
He had never been the religious sort.

But he knelt, and prayed anyway.

Nightwatcher, he thought. ''If you're out there... Perhaps you remember me? You were my inspiration. We met, for a short time. I asked you to teach me the ways of combat, of stealth. You taught me that, for any of that, I must find peace.''

''So you encouraged me to write. Poem upon chronicle I wrote, and you were ever there to guide me, correct me.''

''I remember I once wrote of the fall of an entire city without any regard to the nature of physics. I remember once I wrote of a creature living in a universe it had no reason to live in. What good was I at chronicling? Not at all. And though, of course, the great Nightwatcher would never have been known for his skill with the tablet... You had great talent and patience.''

''So what is this? Nostalgia? Regret? Why, after all this time, after everyone I've met, would I think of you in my final breaths?''

''Because you taught me lessons I took to heart. Thank you. See you on the other side.''

And with that, Janneus exhaled, a green mist filling the air. The nature of the soul of a Rotaxian is intimately linked with their ability to ghost. And so Janneus never feared Karzahni. His soul would go on. Perhaps, eventually, he even would one day be reborn.

But for now, his story was over.

What is this?
Hi everyone, my name is Teammcb. I'm a former contributor to this site. I graduated high school last spring and have since moved to LA to study Screenwriting.

In a moment of random self-reflection (which one does rather frequently in college, I've found), I thought about this site, and how important and fun it was to me. I decided to see what had happened to it. Like muscle memory, my hands typed out the complex site address "custombionicle.wikia.com." I'm glad to see it still going strong, despite the fact that Bionicle has been shut down again. ;)

Anyway, for some reason, as a child, I remember thinking of TheSlicer as a good friend, even though I was a horrific writer (and still likely am. I'm working on it), and he corrected and rewrote literally everything I put on the site. He is now known as Kneeler, as I understand.

This is the story of my self-MOC Janneus praying to his former self-MOC Nightwatcher (which is totally random and not canon and doesn't make any sense. But I will keep that extra bit of lore about Rotaxians. There. It's official. Rotaxians have ghost souls that can reinhabit a new body after they die. I can do that because I invented the species. Don't worry; I'll do my part and update the page after I'm done.)

Anyway, if Kneeler ever reads this, thanks buddy. Custom Bionicle was fun!
