Hailstones

Hailstones is Vinvar's story in the A.S.G.A.R.D. Short Story Series.

Story
The natural phenomenon of snow was rarely seen in Le-Metru, or any region on Metru Nui bar Ko-Metru for that matter. The frozen substance was regarded with suspicion from Le-Matoran, nonchalance from Onu-Matoran, love from Ko-Matoran, interest from Ga-Matoran, dislike from Po-Matoran and downright disgust from "fire-spitters".

So when flurries of the wet, white stuff descended onto Le-Metruan streets one dull Wednesday morning it caused quite the shock among the local Matoran of the area. Those of the more adventurous inhabitants who dared to step out into the snowfall would have been pleasantly surprised by the chilly and soft flakes. Snowball fights ensued among the immature beings, Snow-Toa were built by the younger ones and things seemed good.

And then the Hail came.

It started when the snow turned hard. A single Matoran, working quietly on his Snow art (a particularly fine sculpture of an Akilini player) felt what seemed like a small pebble land on his shoulder. The Huna-wearer looked up in surprise, but saw nothing. He shrugged and returned to his sculpture, assuming it to be his vivid imagination making things up.
