The Mysterious Tower

When he gets close, he finds the entrance to the odd tower. Should he attempt to enter, he suddenly finds himself having been teleported into a poorly lit bottom floor of some building. If he tries to his shadowstep to leave, he finds that he is just brought back to this room. The only way forward to is enter the next floor, with three different doors to choose from. Though all have "Battle Strategy" written on them. 

Upon opening the door, he sees a surprising and familiar sight of a rebuilt Kal-Koro out in the snow. Clearly, this is not a door he wants to enter, but when he tries to shut the door and go for another one, an invisible force thrusts the Matoran inside and the door vanishes behind him. 

Said invisible force could have been nicer about it, as now Eric has a mask full of snow. Bleh. 

Something is bugging his mind to go to the village. There doesn't appear to be anywhere else to go, despite how terrible of an idea that would seem. 

When he makes it to the town, he finds it surprisingly abandoned. There is no evidence that a fight broke out or that they left, but given the frequent snow storms even if they did it would be impossible to tell. 

Eric silently walks through the town, looking for any clues as to what he is supposed to do.

He starts hearing noise coming from his shack. 

Luckily, a hidden trap is not something he has to worry about. Unlikely, it's Turaga Hahtanna and a small mob of Matoran destroying his home, looking for him. 

One happens to notice him and, despite the ruckus of the group, gets the Turaga's attention. 

"There are you Eric! You have spent too much time meandering! It's time to test you!" 

The Turaga launches a bolt of Shadow at Eric.
