For those of you who previously read the first three chapters, this story is going through a drastic rewrite.
I do not own any characters, spells, places or items you recognize as JKR's. The definition of "Ohana" was taken from Disney's Lilo & Stitch. The word t'swaha was taken, in a less butchered form from Tamora Pierce's Circle Of Magic series. On the other hand, I do own Isla de Pascua, Regency Institute for Psychic Development and any characters you do not recognize. Most notably the younger members of Ohana, the Dolphin's Song's crew, and the denizens of the island. I don't mind if you borrow them, but please ask.I am not making any money of this. The characters stumbled into my brain one day and refused to leave until I'd written their story.
In regards to the island, particularly its history, culture and religions, I would like to clearly state that they are NOT real. It came from some scattered research and my imagination filled in the rest. I'll try to avoid butchering things too badly. The information about the different religions mentioned should not be used as reference for the real-life theology. If you would like to know more about anything I mention, e-mail me and I'll send you a list of links and books I used for research. If you see that I have grossly misinterpreted something about your religion and are upset about it, DO NOT SEND FLAMES! Tell me what I misinterpreted or misrepresented and I will do my best to fix the problem.
There are a number of times when I use Spanish, French or make a direct reference of something I've read or researched. When I do that, there will be a superscript numeral afterwards that corresponds to the number in the author's notes at the end which will contain the translation or source. My Spanish is somewhat rusty; if you've constructive criticism regarding the way I've said something feel free to e-mail me. My French is taken alternatively from a textbook and a dictionary, and I have had absolutely no feedback in any way regarding it – again, constructive criticism is welcome.
Lastly, Destiny is AU. Very AU. It takes a hard left after Prisoner of Azkaban, skates into the margins and is barely hanging onto the page. You have been warned. Also: this has not been beta'd. If anyone is interested in beta'ing, let me know using the e-mail address below. Thanks!
