Chapter 1: The Prologue
The Island of Motunui was thriving. After their hero, Moana, the chief's daughter, had sailed the demigod Maui across the ocean to restore the Heart of Te Fiti, the island was brought back to its original state. The Island radiated with life, as the plants grew again, and the village began to thrive with them.
After returning from her daring adventure, Moana took charge as the next chief. The young, fiery sixteen-year old was able to get her people out on the sea again, past the reef. She had lead them on many new expeditions, and began to map out all of Oceania. Moana had turned out to be a better chief than many before her, and was really helping the village to thrive, as new materials were brought back from other islands.
Life seemed to get back on track, as Moana was as happy as could be. She had her people, the ocean, Heihei and Pua, and also her family, what more could she ask for?
As she spent more and more time sailing, she grew attached to the sky, and found herself gazing at the stars for hours on end many times. When she wasn't sailing, she would go to the shore every night, and just stare at the stars, many times falling asleep outside studying them. Nevertheless, she found a love for learning about them, and wished to know more.
She recently had set out on another quest to find a new island. This time, however, her crew and her now had gone out further than ever before from Motunui. For the first time, the difficulties in finding a new island were quite high. As they journeyed on past the ones already discovered, it seemed to be endless ocean. They had found small atolls and tiny islands, but nothing substantial.
Until one day, after sailing for quite sometime, Moana caught something in the distance, it was big too, a new island. She was instantly filled with excitement, a new place to explore! So, they set out to the island, and arrived towards the end of the day. The beach they landed on had black sand, something that they never had seen before. This new color interested the crew greatly, and intrigued Moana quite a bit.
That night, after everyone had fallen asleep, she sat in the sand, with Pua and Heihei at her side, trying to name the stars that she had been studying for months now. Everything was calm, the shore lapping with waves, and the silence of night mixed together well.
That is, until Moana felt something strange. It felt, as if the Earth was shaking. Now, Moana was used to minor shaking due to the fact that many islands before because of volcanoes, but this was like nothing she had experienced before. After a few seconds the shaking stopped. When Moana looked up, she looked out to the water, shocked, as a huge green light radiated from the sky.
And that, is how this story begins...
Author's Note:
Hello, one and all, I am TheOneWhoOwns, and welcome to Moana: The Trails of Time (An Unbelievable Truth)! I know this chapter is kinda short, but it is because I want to build a lot off of this for the next chapters. So trust me, the chapters will get better and longer. I had to start off with something, and will build it up.
Cheers!
