Declaimer: I DO NOT OWN ZELDA OR MOANA!


"LEETTII! WAKE UP!" Cried a six-year-old Vaiana as she jumped on Leti's bed.

Leti groggily looked over at the clock on her table, she saw it was only six thirty in the morning. Leti told Vaiana "We are certainly not going to the beach at six thirty in the morning"

"Please?" asked Vaiana.

Leti said "No" as the five-year-old Demi Goddess glared at Leti, Leti smirked and said to Vaiana "And if you want to plot my doom, you need to learn to control your telepathic paths"

This caused Vaiana to glared harder. Leti said "Try to go back to sleep. We will have breakfast at 8;30, and go to the beach at nine… how does that sound?"
"Great!" said Vaiana excitedly, then she vacated the room leaving Leti to sleep a little longer.

At 8;20, Vaiana came back to wake Leti up. Leti noted that Vaiana was dressed, and looked ready to go. Leti sked as she got up "Do you have your bag packed?"
"Yep!" said Vaiana.

Leti said "Good, make sure it's downstairs. Go and wait down at the table, I will be there shortly"

"YAY!" screamed Vaiana as she shot out the door. Leti chuckled at the speed the six-year-old left the room. Then she started getting changed into clothes that would be good for where Leti was going that day, and there's the fact It's the middle of summer too.

When Leti got to the Kitchen, Vaiana was sitting on her chair at the table bouncing up and down. Leti said as she made breakfast for the pair of them "Vaiana! Sit still! or you'll break the chair. Oh yes, and in a week, we will be dining with Te Fiti, and you'll have to sit still for that"
"Yay! One week and I'm going to see my Godmother! One week until I get to see my Godmother!" sang Vaiana. She sang this until Leti had finished making Breakfast, then she stopped and ate, much to Leti's pleasure.

After they had finished eating breakfast, Leti took them to the beach. It was a beautiful beach! And it was a beautiful day for going to the beach. On the way down to the Beach, Vaiana was looking in all directions trying to take as much in as possible. When they got to the beach, Leti set up a little camp, and then told Vaiana "You can go and play, just don't go to far. And If you go swimming, let me know first"

"Alright! I'm going swimming!" said Vaiana charging off to the water's edge.

A short while later, someone asked Leti "May I join you?"
Leti looked up from the book she was reading, and saw that she was being talked to, by the Zora queen! Leti said "Sure, be my guest"

"Thanks" said the Queen, then when she said down, the Queen said "My names Aurora, what's yours?"
"I'm Leti. Are you here with your children?" asked Leti being polite, or at least trying to be.

Aurora said "Yes, my two children. Mipha's a really good girl, but Sidon is a bit of a handful. But if you have children you would be very lucky to not get one"

"Vaiana's alright, a little cheeky" said Leti.

Aurora said "Cheeky is better than arrogant"

"true, I guess" Leti said back.

With Vaiana…

Vaiana had been splashing around, when a female's voice asked "Can I play with you?"

Vaiana turned around to see a female creature talking to her. Vaiana racked her brains on what this girl could be, in the end she decided that the girl must be a Zora. Vaiana said grinning "Sure. I'm Vaiana"

Vaiana held out her hand, the girl said as she shook it "I'm Mipha"

Then the two started playing in the water. A little later, a male Zora which Vaiana thought was Mipha's brother, came up to them. The boy said "Ah, you've found yourself a pathetic friend, sister?"
"Don't speak to her like that! You know what father says! And if I tell mother Sidon, you will be in big trouble!" said Mipha.

The Boy, Sidon, said smirking "Oh, if your friend isn't pathetic, then she would have no problem proving herself"

Vaiana really liked Mipha, but she could not say the same for her brother. It did make her wonder how two people from the same family be so deferent! Then she thought that perhaps Mipha's brother might need to be brought down a step or two. Vaiana said "Bring it on, weird-o"

"Sidon is my name. now, see that Cove over there?" said Sidon pointing at a Cove, Vaiana nodded, he continued "There is a big monster that lives in a cave up there, you will go in and find out what sort of monster it is"

"I'll do it" said Vaiana not wanting to look like a loser in front of this arrogant Zora.

Mipha said "I'm going with her though, if her mother, or our mother finds out she went alone, we will be grounded for the rest of our lives. Come on Vaiana."

The two girls walked up the beach towards the cave with the monster living in it. Vaiana by now had decided that Mipha was a trust worthy person, and would be told Vaiana's secret. Vaiana said "Mipha, can you keep a secret?"
"Sure" said Mipha looking excited.

Vaiana said "I'm a Demi Goddess. I can do magic! But I've only learned a little though"

"Can you show me?" asked Mipha excitedly.

"That's what I'm doing now" said Vaiana telepathically.

Mipha said "That's so cool! I bet you could speak to people miles away!"

"Yeah! That would be cool! Looks like we're here" said Vaiana as they came across a big cave.

Mipha asked nervously "You don't suppose the tide comes up here, do you?"
"We can both swim!" said Vaiana.

The two girls went into the cave.

With Leti…

Aurora looked around, then frowned, she said "I hope Mipha's alright, I haven't seen her in ages"

"I haven't seen Vaiana for a while either, actually. Let's look" said Leti, both woman jumped up and started walking, with Leti slightly behind, because she spelling the stuff to not go walk about. They walked around the beach, and had not found them, Aurora asked her son, Sidon, Leti thought his name was "Where's Mipha?"
"I don't know" said Sidon shrugging.

Aurora said trying not to lose her temper "IF I find your lying, you will be in serious trouble"

"She went with this girl to a cave, at that Cove over there" said Sidon looking at his mother nervously.

Leti realised that, the Red Bats lived up there, and she charged up to the Cove. Leti knew that Vaiana being a Demi Goddess, was in danger of losing her powers, she hoped she wasn't too late.

With Vaiana and Mipha…

The Cave seemed pretty quiet, dark and dirty, not to mention boring, but they had found no monsters. Vaiana said "Maybe this is just a hoax"

"No, it isn't, I can tell you that much" said Mipha. Then they saw the strangest things, bright red bats! They flew down and chased Mipha. Vaiana was at a loss for what to do, she was starting to panic too, but then, the Bats stopped. They were frozen, they couldn't move a muscle, but not for a long time, but this gave Mipha the chance to run. When the Bats could move again the started attacking Vaiana, the first one hit her, and everything went dark.

As Leti ran up to the cave, she passed a Zora girl, whom must have been Mipha. Leti asked "Are you Mipha?"
"Yes. Vaiana, she's still in there" said Mipha.

Leti ordered "go to your mother, and tell her everything"

Mipha nodded, and ran. Leti did a thing to call Self-Heal down to the cave, because she just got this feeling that she'd need her. After going through the cave for a while, Leti saw the red Bats around a red haired, girl!

Vaiana! She soon realised, and Leti used her magic to blast the bats far down the cave and ran over to Vaiana. She was alright, and thankfully, she hadn't lost much God magic. Only the Psychic powers, but her God Magic was alright, but it was a little unbalanced. Self-Heal then appeared next to Leti. Leti said handing Vaiana to Self-Heal "She's alright, apart from her losing her Psychic touch and the rest of her magic is just imbalanced. You know what to do"

"I will see you shortly?" asked Self-Heal.

Leti, nodded, then Self-Heal and Vaiana were gone. Leti returned to the beach to fetch her stuff. Aurora, Sidon and Mipha were waiting for her when she arrived back. Aurora asked "Where's Vaiana?"
"She was injured, but a friend who was nearby took her to the Hospital" Leti made up.

Mipha said "Let her know I said hi"
"I will Mipha. Oh! And Aurora, good luck with him" said Leti referring to Sidon.

Aurora said "Thanks, I'll need it"

After Leti got her stuff together, she returned to the world of Gods.

(one year later)

Vaiana was in a bad mood. Her mother, Leti, had just told her about her true parent's rejection of Vaiana. Vaiana sobbed into her pillow, and wacked it! She said in-between sobs "I hate humans! I hate them! I hate them! I hate them! Why must the selfish gits exist!"
"You hate humans" said Leti from the door sounding slightly amused.

Vaiana laughed a little, then she said "I will have to work for them one day, won't I?"
"well, no. you could do things for the Zoras, or something" said Leti.

Vaiana said "Mipha, I will be able to see her then"

"I'm sorry it had to turn out this way. But by your birthday, Self-Heal thinks I should be able to start teaching you how to use your powers. Normally I would have started earlier but because of your accident upsetting your magic, it had to be this way" said Leti.

Vaiana said "I guess. How old are Mipha and Sidon? That book told me that Zoras age slower then humans, snd i would like to know"

"Aurora mentioned that Mipha was 21 one, and Sidon was 18. though from our view, Mipha's your age, and Sidon is a bit younger" said Leti.

"thanks. Do you have any new books for me to read? Since there is nothing else to do in this place, books are one of the very few ways to pass the time away" said Vaiana.

"I will go and have a look. Actually! How about a book on soul magic? And what about my Hyrule legends book?" suggested Leti.

Vaiana said "sounds good"

Leti went to get it, and came back with it two minutes later. Vaiana got reading straight away. Leti left her reading.

(A few days after Vaiana's birthday)

"Alright, let's start" said Leti.

Vaiana tried, and tried to do what Leti said, but it wouldn't work. Leti said "Don't worry, Self-Heal said it might take a while"

Vaiana stomped the ground, annoyed, but then a circle of water came from where Vaiana had slammed her foot. Leti said "Vaiana, Demi Goddess of water and Ocean, well done!"
"Huh? What?" asked Vaiana confused.

Leti said "We have discovered what you are. You can control the Water, and the Ocean will be your friend"
"Can you teach me?" asked Vaiana hopefully.

Leti said joking slightly "That's what I'm here for"

(Skip to when Vaiana's ten)

Vaiana had knew what powers she had, and had started learning the water ones. She had control over the water, and could request the Ocean to do something for her, she also could shape shift into water dwelling creatures. Apparently she could change into others, but that was before she lost her Psychic powers, but having them taken from her meant she lost some of her other powers too. At the moment, she was smelling Leti's daisies.

Leti said "I have got a letter from Mipha, she not knowing where you live put it in a bottle and floated it down them stream. Do you want to see it?"
Vaiana said "Yes"

Leti handed Vaiana the letter, and Vaiana snatched it out of her hand. It read:

Hi Vaiana,

I hope you're alright, I haven't seen you in ages! I'm sorry if my brother made you mad at me, and I understand if you don't want to be friends anymore. I'm sorry.

From

Mipha.

"Mother, can I tell her the truth?" asked Vaiana pleadingly.

Leti said "Sure, when your done give it to me, and I will make sure it gets delivered"

Vaiana nodded, then wrote the letter. She explained everything, then told Mipha that when she next went down to earth, Vaiana would visit her.

(Two years later)

Vaiana was practicing throwing a javelin/spear. She was getting quite good at using it, and it was a thing to do, since there was basically nothing to do in the realm of Goddesses. Despite the fact Vaiana really liked it here, she could not wait until she could leave for the mortal world. There would be so much to do! And she'd get to see Mipha!

Anyway, it was something to look forward to despite the fact she'd be living with Mortals, she still hated them with a passion you know.

"How long where you going to stare like that for?" said Te Fiti's voice cutting into Vaiana's thoughts.

"Hi!" said Vaiana excitedly running and giving Te Fiti a hug.

Te Fiti asked "How's it going?"
"Alright. I was practicing, but I got thinking about other things" said Vaiana.

Te Fiti asked "how's the magic going?"

Vaiana sighed, before saying "not well. Yesterday, I tried to get a small ball of light, and it would not work at all! I just wish I could rely on it, instead of mastering things, like this"

Te Fiti said "you'll get there! It your magic can't always save you, so these other skills might come in handy"

"I guess" said Vaiana.

Te Fiti said after frowning for a moment "go on, there's something else which you're not telling me"

"Well... it's nothing, truly, it's nothing really. No, it's actually really silly" said Vaiana quickly.

Te Fiti said stubbornly "I'm not leaving until you tell me"

"Augh! fine. I'm worried about the other Demi Gods laughing at me, for not being able to use my abilities properly" said Vaiana quietly.

Te fiti said putting her hand on Vaiana's shoulder "it will be fine, they would be stupid to do that"

"Oh, ok" said Vaiana looking relived.

(Skip to when Vaiana is 15)

Vaiana stomped angrily. She was bored stiff here in the realm of Gods, but they insisted she waited two more years before leaving this god for saken place! Leti said Amused "You know, boring holes into the ground is not going to do anything for you"

"I DON'T CARE! YOU WANT TO KEEP ME PRISONER HERE! SO, I DIE OF BOREDUM!" yelled Vaiana who was at the end of her reasonably short temper.

Leti said "And yelling at me isn't going to solve any problems either"

"I hate you" mumbled Vaiana.

Leti said "That's perfectly understand able in your case. But 17 in Hyrule is the age you are considered Wise, and people start believing you at that age too"

"I guess your right" mumbled Vaiana.

Leti said "Now stop mopping like a typical teenager, and go and do something!"
"Alright" said Vaiana, stomping out of her home.

(Skip to the day before Vaiana's 17th birthday)

Leti and Vaiana watched the sun set in the realm of Gods and Godesses. Leti said "There's this thing going on in Hyrule, depending on how it goes, you might be needed to help stop it"

"I don't like mortals though" argued Vaiana.

Leti said "True, but many creatures would gain something from you doing this. Including your friend Mipha"

"Blackmailer!" protested Vaiana.

Leti said brightly "Yep! That's me!"

They both laughed. Vaiana asked "Will I go alone? Or will someone be coming with me?"
"Te Fiti was going to see if a Demi Goddess would take you, but if not, Self-Heal or I can get you out of here, but only until we reach the mortal world, you're on your own from there" said Leti.

Vaiana said "Thanks Ma. Umm, Leti?"
"Yes?" asked Leti.

Vaiana asked "Are my sisters doing anything for their 17th birthday?"

"That thing going on in Hyrule, both your sisters are fighting in that. In fact, Zelda is panicking, she has been unable to get access to a power to seal Gannon away, and she really hopes that the Spring of Wisdom, which she will visit tomorrow, will unlock it. But truth be told, I think you were the most likely to inherit it" said Leti.

Vaiana said spitefully "Even if I did have it, why would I help people who had done nothing for? I would know do it for the people like the Zoras"

"I get the feeling you and Maui will not be getting on" Commented Leti.

Vaiana asked "Why?"
"Maui likes Mortals, and will do anything for them" said Leti.

Vaiana simply stated "He's weird"

"I thought you might say that" said Leti. Then Leti said "Come on, let's go and make Dinner"
"Righty oh" said Vaiana somewhat cheerfully, as they both got up, and went to their home.


Done. Hopefully you got an idea of what Vaiana's character is in this chapter, and well the red Bat thing was important, it kind of sets the scene for later on. Hopefully she doesn't seem too much like a Mary Sue. the next chapter will include some Demi gods, and a few other characters.
