Matu Nua
Makuto grinned. "You wouldn't hurt and innocent person, would you?" she held up Kopaku in front of her as a shield.
"Makuto..." a voice called out from Issa. But it wasn't Issa saying the words. It was a golden silhouette of a person that stood up from Issa's place. She glowed brightly, but only the other sprites could see her.
"Impossible! You couldn't have broken the curse! I'm still here!" Makuto spat out.
Matu Nua looked at Kopaku, her eyes flashed and Kopaku fell down, broken of the mind control. Tahko, Gahki, and Hahko went to help her immediately.
"Come, take a walk with me." She was next to her in the blink of an eye and she grabbed Makuto's arm and their minds were taken far away.
Makuto looked around her. She was in an empty white room. "Where am I? What kind of trick is this?"
"Trick? This is no trick sister."
"What is it that you want?"
"What do you see?"
"Nothing."
"Not yet, your mind is fogged in darkness, you have stood in it too long. Let the light unwind you."
"I will not, go into the light." Makuto growled.
Matu Nua sighed. "Come, your mind must be cleared, and you will see what kind of path lies in wait for you." At her words, the white room burst into life, grass and tress sprung up around them and a small stream leading to a fork, a large river, bustling with energy, and a slow, calm stream that continued on it's journey.
"Over here" Matu Nua waved over to the stream. "This stream represents an average life, any kind of life, human, creature, animal. Our job is to lead it to where it's destiny lies. My job is to purify the soul before it goes onto it's journey. Your job, was to give it choices, but do not tempt it to go one way or the other, for it will choose when it is ready."
"Your point?"
"Sister, what has happened to you?" Matu Nua looked deep into Makuto's eyes. Makuto feeling this, turned her head away.
"Perhaps it is this?" She pulled out the red shard that Makuto used to control Kopaku.
"Don't touch that!" Makuto made a grab for it.
"It is stained with the blood of the innocent. I will give it back to you when it is purified." She bent down and let the running water clean the shard. It became a clear blue shard.
"I understand why you are angry." Matu Nua said putting the necklace into Makuto's hand and closed her hand around it. "You are the last of the shadow spites. Your race was destroyed in fear of the other sprites, they feared your race would destroy the others in your growing strength. Your race was innocent, until now, when you discovered anger, rage, and despair."
Makuto stared at Matu Nua. "I cannot change the things I've done, nor can I change the way I am."
"You will, in time."
They were taken back to reality, not a second has passed. Makuto gasped, as if she had held her breath.
