Description
“Ga-Koro” | Wall of History
I arrive in the calm waters of Ga-Koro.Smoke is billowing into the air from one of the floating green dome buildings.
In the distance, three waterfalls cascade down from a cliff carved into a mysterious mask shape.
I walk to the gate to the village.
The gate is locked closed.
There are rocks of various sizes strewn about the sand.
A large rock hangs from one side of the gate.
On the other side hangs a large shell.
At the top of the gate is a strange text of circular letters.
Somewhere, in the back of my mind, I can make out the writing...
"GA-KORO."
Beneath the letters is a circle within a circle.
Each circle has a small blue stone.
As I add rocks to the shell, the inner circle rotates and the blue stones grow closer together.
When the two blue stones are aligned, the gate opens and I can proceed onto the large green floating pads of Ga-Koro.
Much destruction is evident in the dome buildings.
Most are flooded.
In one I discover an unusual crystal, a Lightstone, and I pick it up.
At the far end of one of the pads, a strange pump-like machine sits idle.
A large pipe sticks up out of the water. I take a closer look at the pipe.
“Who is that?
Who’s there?”
comes from the pipe.
“Hurry my friend!
You are our only hope!”
“Maku sent me to rescue you!”
I reply.
“Maku escaped?
We were so worried about her!”
says the pipe.
“We are trapped here underwater!
The door is stuck and we can’t open it!
If the village pumps are repaired, the hut will rise to the surface, and we can escape.
The Rahi smashed them and pieces fell into the water.
If you can find the missing piece and put it back in the pump machine, it will float us back up!
I left a Lightstone in my hut.
It might help you see underwater.
Please hurry!”
“Hold on.
I’ll be right back!”
is all I can think to say.
“Hurry back!
I don’t know how much longer we can survive in here, and the Rahi may return!”
I find a pool from which I can descend into the water.
Below, there is no indication of the destruction above, only peaceful waters and the swimming creatures of the ocean.
I swim toward the pipe, and a glimmer catches my eye.
Here are those with whom I spoke above.
They motion to me and pound upon the door.
I must find the missing piece of the pump!
I am desperate to find it, when suddenly I remember the Lightstone.
I take it out and shine it upon the waters.
What once was just another starfish upon the rocks instead gleams with a metallic reflection.
This must be the missing piece! I retrieve it and head back to the pump.
I place the gear back into the pump and press the button.
The pump springs to life and starts rumbling.
