Continuation path by Lucent Shadow
"I've been making use of the Hordika form to assist in a lot of
missions. But, even though I have used the Hordika for morally sound
acts, will the higher-ups of the Order of Mata Nui view my acts as
questionable and immoral? Has my margin for error shrunk? Will they
treat me differently from the way they treat the rest of you?"The HeadMaster thinks a little about your question, then looks at you. "I think you're in a tricky place. I have no doubt of your intent, it's only the means that worries me. Something so unpredictable and...well, wild, I suppose you'd say... It's not very sound. It might put you in danger, or even your teammates, without your knowledge.
"I'm not saying you haven't been controlling it, or that you couldn't," he adds quickly, "but it's too much of a burden on you. Too much stress to have to constantly be keeping the Hordika beast in check. What if you did one day slip, or give way altogether? Is the good you could do with that power really worth that risk, that price?"
How do you reply now?
"I believe it is worth that price. The Hordika is my friend; it has never put me somewhere I never intended to be. Has it made me more moody and irritable? Yes, but that's to be expected. That is the nature of such a form. I believe there are things we can learn from the Hordika that we can't learn otherwise. It doesn't make much sense to do away with it out of fear of losing control. Losing control is a possibility no matter who we are, what we do, or how we do anything that we set out to do. I feel there's a reason that the Hordika is in me. I don't know what it is yet, but I'm confident that in time, it will reveal itself as long as I maintain faith in the Hordika. The question is, will you all maintain your faith in me?"
