In the middle of the ocean, the mother Te Fiti slept unaware of the great threat that approached her. Her heart held the greatest power ever known. It could create life itself. And Te Fiti shared it with the world. But some sought out Te Fiti's heart. They believed that if they could possess it, the great power of creation would be theirs.
But now the boldest and most daring of them all was slowly approaching the Island.
He was a shapeshifter, he was a trickster and his name was Maui demigod of the wind and sea.
He went from being a Hawk, to being a lizard like creature and then from a lizard like creature he became a tiny bug.
In these forms he slipped through the smallest opening in the vines that protected the mother island.
Finally reaching his destination he used his magical fish hook to pry it free from Te Fiti until it lay in the palm of his hand.
But then everything began to go wrong, Te Fiti started to crumple before him, Maui fled the destruction that was starting all over the Island he came to the edge of the Island.
Taking the shape of the giant hawk once more he jumped from the cliff and flew as fast as he could but in front of him a new foe arose to challenge him.
The lava monster Ta Ka who wanted the heart for herself.
She knocked Maui out of the sky, throwing him onto an uninhabited island.
But both his Hook and the heart of The Fiti fell into the depths of the Sea.
In pure anger she roared her anger she plunged a lava hand deep into the sea and pulled out Tangaroa The God of the sea.
She and the Sea God fought long over the heart, and then she retreated to her Island giving up.
But then Tangaroa made his fatal mistake, he turned his back to Te Ka and started to leave believing it was over.
Thrusting forward her regrown Lava hand she managed with a final blow to kill and destroy the Sea God, the sea God's form disappeared from her grasp and sliped back into the sea and was no more.
Te Ka had believed that Tangaroa had swallowed the Heart, but grew full of rage when killing him had produced no heart.
Far away from the Island the sea carried the deceased body of its God, the water shimmered around him, until the ocean had turned the deceased God into a human babe.
The water had Reincarnated it's lost God but believed that turning him into a human babe girl and sending him to land was the best way to protect him.
The ocean knew when the child who was now A goddess instead of a God was fully grown she would be the only hope they had of restoring the heart back to Te Fiti and defeating the darkness that was spreading.
Slipping a sea shell underneath the babes bottom it carried her through the sea.
The ocean knew of the perfect Island to send this most precious Goddess, it knew that this Island would care for it as one of their own.
But it came upon a reef that could possibly as a danger to the currently helpless babe.
Pulling it back it lifted the child up on a wave and attempted to toss this babe over the reef just enough to avoid the reef but it had misjudged the reef, and had propelled the babe a tidbit too high.
