Hello everyone. Here's chapter 2 of Her Ore & Boat. His Hook & the Heart of Te Fiti (HO&B. HH&HOTF). This chapter takes place about a week or so after Nightmare but before the end of the first chapter. Tui, Sina and the rest of the villages are rather weary of Maui and don't trust, saying things about him thinking he can't hear what they're saying making him feel even worse. Moana and Maui and go on an adventure and something surprising happens.

I made a lot of changes to the 'draft' of this story, for one its much longer and a lot more polished and not as messy as the 'draft' had been. A big thankyou to everyone who has read this story so far, I'm shocked at how many people have read the last two chapters. At the moment this story has 293 views while my other Moana story (He Makes Me Feel Safe) has 214 views which is shocking since I only updated it on the Jan 22. This is my 11th Moana Story

Any requests are welcome. Please enjoy

Moana and Maui were far enough away from the rest of the fleet not to be overheard by everyone. No one but Moana trusted Maui making him feel even more horrible for stealing Te Fiti's heart. He knew Moana being his friend was the only thing stopping Tui from telling him to leave. He knew not everyone trusted him yet.

He wasn't blind or deaf like some of the villages including Moana's parents seemed to think, he knew very well what they said when they thought he wasn't listening making him want to run and hide, it made him feel even worse. Moana was the only who excepted him for who he was.

It didn't take Moana long to notice there was something off about Maui, he was acting far more timid then he normally would not that any of the villagers knew of course. Moana knew she needed to find out what was wrong with her friend and fix the problem if she could. She asked Maui to stir while she went and asked her father something.

"Dad I need to leave for a few days..." Moana was cut off when a few of the nearby women sighed in what Moana thought was relief, she shot them a confused look wondering why they seemed so relieved she was going to leave for a few, Moana looked over at Maui and nodded ever so slightly. Maui seemed to get the message, untethering the boat and changing direction. She knew not all of the villagers including her parents didn't complete trust Maui.

"Are you going to make him leave?" one of the nearby women asked hopefully, her friends nodded. The women were startled when Moana's face darkened, it was clearly the wrong question to ask. Tui, Sina and the women looked up when they heard a sail snap open and were shocked to see Maui speeding away from them, had they turned around they would have seen a smile on Moana's face. She knew he wasn't going far.

"No, I'm not going to make him leave. He asked me to help him with something. Whatever has been going on, it needs to stop. I thought you would have been a little more grateful. Don't make assumptions about someone you don't know. I don't know when I'll be back," Moana snapped glaring at the women, she turned on her heel and walked to the edge of the boat, allowing the ocean to carry her to Maui.

"I don't care what they think, I know the truth" Moana muttered as she hugged Maui who seemed to fold in on himself as he wrapped his arms around Moana, burring his head in her shoulder and started to cry, he knew she wouldn't judge him. Moana just wrapped her arms around his neck, not saying anything. She didn't notice as the ocean started to glow nor did she take any notice of the tingling feel along her shoulders.

"It'll be alright hun. Their attitude will change, its a little hard for them to dismiss something they've heard all their life as an exaggeration of the truth, we don't have to go back for while. They won't miss me that much and are more then capable of Wayfinding without me," Moana said pulling back, whipping the tears from Maui face.

He just closed his eyes, leaning his head into her hand as more tears slide down his face. Moana would have never imaged nearly ten years ago she would be comforting a demi-god, she had learnt in the five months after they had restored Te Fiti's heart Maui was just as human as she was even if he was more resilient to damage.

She had sat quietly and listened to Maui tell the real stories behind the legends and his tattoo. She comforted him when he explained what it was like while he was marooned on that island. Moana hadn't once, in those five months mocked him, sure she questioned his sanity a few times and made some jokes and comforted him when he needed but she never once said a harsh word to him.

It had been nice to talk to someone about what he had been through and for them not to mock him for not being brave enough, Moana didn't care if he had his fish hook (Manaiakalani) or not, she loved him for who he was and not the legend. Moana was unknowingly giving him everything he had always wanted: to be excepted for who he was regardless of whether or not he had his hook.

Moana smiled, looking down at the ocean which seemly knew what she wanted and pointed them in the direction they needed to go. She didn't feel at all guilty about lying to her parents...well she really wasn't lying Maui did need her help with something but it wasn't what she had made them believe it was.

The Call had been getting stronger over the last two months, she was starting to feel trapped again even though she was sailing it wasn't the kind of adventure she was really craving. No one really needed her anymore, they could Wayfind without her, the only reason she stayed and didn't give into the instant tugging of the ocean was because she was chief and bound by duty.

She hadn't been on a 'real' adventure in nearly ten years. Sure she had been on small trips with Maui, helping him out when he needed it but they never left for more then a few weeks to a month. They never stayed away long. These trips were enough to quell the oceans instant tugging but it didn't last long.

Moana knew she wouldn't be seeing her family for a long while but that was okay. They didn't need her now that her brother was nearing the age where he would take on the role as chief, it didn't really bother her that her brother was going to be taking over as chief. She knew she was never meant to be chief, her home was on the sea. Moana felt far more comfortable with Maui then she did with her own village and parents.

"Where should we go first," Moana asked, smiling when Maui brightened a bit. He looked down at the ocean then back at Moana and realised she some new tattoo's detailing her life on the island and some of their recent adventures. Moana really was one of a kind, he felt a tugging and knew where they needed to go.

"You know where we need to go," Maui replied looking down at the ocean, they laughed as their boat was jerked to the side as the ocean changed the direction they were traveling, Moana looked down at the ocean as it glowed a lightly blue, she looked at Maui who just shrugged not understanding what it meant. He was sure they would find out.

It took them about two weeks and a few island stops to get to their destination which was a small cluster of island Maui remembered pulling from the ocean floor roughly 2,000 years ago. Apparently they were having a problem with various monsters, one of which turned out to be a water lizard along with a very large octopus, eel and some sort of four-legged monster thing much like the one Moana saw in Lalotai.

The water lizard and eel hadn't given them too much trouble. The octopus and four-legged monster that gave them the most trouble, over the next month they battled the two monsters along with many small demon like monsters. Moana never noticed how her ore glowed whenever they were fighting or how the ocean always did as she asked.

Moana and Maui were both relieved when four-legged monster had been kicked back to Lalotai and the octopus was dead. Moana didn't feel at all tired even though she had very little eat and pretty much no sleep. She had been to caught up in adventure to really care. Moana and Maui found they worked off each other very well and over the next four months they perfected their fighting style to the extent they didn't need to even say anything to each other they knew each other that well.

Moana realised there was something off when she felt a tingling on her upper arm and was shocked to see an inked version of herself. Maui just smiled, he had known about the existence of the small tattoo for the last three weeks but hadn't said anything wanting Moana to notice. Moana smiled and lazily flicked her wrist and was shocked when her Ore and the ocean around their boat started to glow.

"Am I...?" Moana asked as she stared down at her ore, Maui grinned he had been wondering when she would realise. He had his doubts but his suspicions had been confirmed after they had gotten rid of the eel, octopus and the four-legged monster and Moana hadn't even seemed tired even though she had hardly eaten anything or slept at all.

"Immortal. Yes Curly I think you are. But only time will tell," Maui said grinning catching Moana when she jumped at him, wrapping her arms around his neck. He knew she was finally able to fully feel what had been in the back of her mind all her life. The reason she was so good at Wayfinding. She a connection to the ocean no one else had.

Maui smiled as she tried to control her excitement, he hoped she was immortal and didn't just have an extended life-span which was very possible though Maui thought it was unlikely. If Moana was immortal like him it meant they could have adventures for the rest of eternity, he wouldn't be alone anymore but only time would tell.


Thankyou for reading. I will explain what Maui is talking about in the next chapter. I changed my planes a little and had Moana realise she was immortal a little sooner then I originally thought. I got the idea for the water lizard from chapter 5 of Days After by multyfangirl18. You should go and ready her story, its really good and I'm dying to find out what happens next.

EDIT 25/01/17: I've changed the end of the chapter so it fit more with the end of the first chapter where Maui realises Moana is a demi-goddess. At the moment they don't know whether or not Moana is immortal or not (she is). I will be changing the name of the chapter since it doesn't seem to fit anymore, I will be posting chapter 4 some time later today. It will be the aftermath of Nightmare as well. Many of the villages are wary of Maui, used to thinking of him as the villain who stole Te Fiti's heart for his own gain when there is evidence (in the form of Maui) that showed the legends got a few things wrong.

Make no mistake Moana is still the chief, she does have a brother who is fifteen and will soon take on the role as chief but on his own island. At the moment Moana is 27, their current adventure lasts for about four years before they go back to the fleet. Maui tries his best to visit every 3 to 5 years, the last time he visits Moana she's 40 though physically she looks 25. He comes back to Montinui 2 (cheesy I know, I couldn't think of any other name) after 35 years and Moana is 75 just like she is in the end of the first chapter. That's when Maui realises Moana is immortal. I will right a few more chapters before I get to that point. Hope this has helped clear up any confusion there might have been.

Thanks for reading, review and tell me what you think :)
