Author's note: Little words before starting in order to keep the mood… So excited! Hihihihi! Let's go!
1. Something Just Like This
"I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list"
Coldplay & Chainsmokers
There are many special places in this world and the ones around it. I love to think of this as the biggest fishing net I've never seen but it gets hard when the world around you seems to be three times your size. Mana issues, I guess. The first time I landed on this size was when I explored the West Islands; I liked it for its stealth and capability of blending in without much effort. But now that I'm staring at my "resting place", it gets uncomfortable, really uncomfortable. Heck! I can't even think of an excuse for it but I have little choice.
If I want to find Minnow, my hook and get this business done, there is nothing I can do about it. With each little part I put in the wind, I lose myself a little bit more. This is one my last resorts before vanishing.
Cape Reinga is where all the dead depart for the other world. I can tell because all of their spirits are now hanging from my arms before going down the river. The gods of Poluto want me in their Realm but I can't leave the Mortal one, not yet. Not with Minnow in danger and the entire human race on the line.
I'm going to do things right. Even if I can't talk to my little girl, even if I don't have hands to hold my hook and… Even if I can't set a foot on the Ocean for the rest of my immortal life and never be acclaimed for my bravery or cunning ideas! Gods! Now that's too much!
I shall be the Hero to All once more and what's more, I'll be Minnow's once again.
"She said "Where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss""
I can't tell much in order to not do spoilers but Cape Reinga is a real place. You can look for it in Google; I found it in a book about Maori tales.
It's time to be back in the frying pan and not exactly the same way that we have heard or known to this point.
And yes, we WILL have Tamatoa in this voyage!
More to come!
