BC3 - Possible Use of Miru Nuva

Overwhelmed by joy, Lewa shouted for attention. “Watch this, leafbrothers,” he cried, balancing on the edge of the platform. “I’ll show you the kind of sunsoaring I can do with my new powers!”

He crouched briefly, then sprang up, putting all of his energy into the leap. Up, up, up… he soared straight into the sky above the treetops, higher and higher until he was almost blinded by the bright light of the sun.

“Yeee-haaaa!” he cried as he reached the top of the arc.

He waved his hand, calling upon the air currents to carry him down. As he did, he glanced down. He was a bit startled by how high he was.

“Good thing my friend the wind is always ready to do my bidding,” Lewa murmured. Realizing the breeze he’d summoned hadn’t yet materialized, he swirled his hand in the air again.

Still the wind didn’t respond.

“What?” Lewa cried, his heart clenching with fear as he tried again — and again. He felt himself plummeting downward as he realized the truth — his elemental powers had deserted him.

He tumbled helplessly down toward the village far — too far — below.

[...]

“KRAAA!”

Lewa’s eyes flew open. He realized he had closed them to shut out the view of the hard ground rushing toward him. “Oof!” he cried as his descent was suddenly stopped just above the ground.

For a second all he could see was a feathery neck. He clung to it, realizing he was still moving downward — but at a much safer speed.

“Are you okay, Toa?” a breathless voice asked.

“Kongu?” Lewa said. “Is that you?”

“It’s me and Ka,” the Matoran responded. “It looked like you were in troublebad, so we upflew to check.”

“Thank you, bravebrother,” Lewa said as he finally realized it was the beating wings and strong body of Ka the Gukko that had stopped his free fall. He glanced at Kongu, who was perched on the large bird’s back. “I — I know not what wrong happened, but the wind didn’t answer my herecall.”

With a squawk, Ka glided in for a landing, depositing Lewa on the swampy ground.

“What do you mean, Toa?” Kongu asked. “How could the airwind not respond to you?”

Lewa shook his head. “I don’t know, little brother,” he said. “It has not happened before.”
