Bright light. Bright light and pain. That was everything I felt and saw in this moment of weakness.
I was dead. Dead and beaten. And now everything I could do was to wait for my trial. Although I had done nothing wrong. No, it was the one bringing me to trial who was the true criminal.
“Teridax, you disappointed me” the Great Spirits voice boomed through the white, empty void.
“Spare me this farce of a trial Mata Nui, and kill me already!” I yelled back. “I’m trying to be merciful, but you don’t even regret your crimes! Well, I can’t blame you for it. I created you without the ability to regret. So I will grant you this ability.”
I still regretted nothing. “How could I regret doing the right thing?” I asked him. He gave a heavy sigh. “I had forgotten how determined you are, Teridax! You really believe you did the right thing, and I don’t blame you for that. Let me explain you what you did wrong. After your long life in the order, fighting injustice and keeping peace in the world, you searched for the cause of injustice. And you blamed me for it, because I’m the creator of this world, so I had to be responsible for it. But if I took the ability to commit injustice from the sentient beings, I would destroy their free will. Didn’t you assume I thought of this beforehand! It is the reason of your existence, and the one of your brothers and sisters of the order. Well it was, until you decided to throw the world into chaos and war.” He answered. Every single of his words hit me like a whip. He was right.
“Bu- But” I stammered. “Listen, Teridax, I wish I could do just what you wanted me to do, but even I can’t touch the free will. All of this is my fault, too, because I never explained that to you or your brothers. I´d love to let you return to your home, but your crimes are too big. But I won’t kill you. While I traveled through space in form of the Kanohi of Life, I spotted another Planet full of life. A peaceful planet to start over. You crimes shall be forgiven. From now on and forever, you are banned from Spherus Magna and exiled. The world of equestria shall be your new home! Fare well, Teridax, and good luck.”
If I had the ability to cry, believe me, I would have done that. But so I only said “Thank you” and the pain ended and the light engulfed me to grant me a new life.
