I know your name...
My name?
They have stolen the heart from inside you...
Yes, stole.
But this does not define you...
Define me?
This is not who you are...
Not me?
You know who you are...
Who am I?
Lost. I'm lost.
Found. I was once lost in a fog of confusion and pain when Maui stole my Heart, but now I've found myself.
I'm free! For the first time in centuries I'm free to be myself, free to think, free to create new islands for my people, free to sleep.
Oh no. My people. What happened to you? What did I do to you while I was lost and not myself? All the islands closest to me—the ones I created just for you, are gone. They were once thriving with villages, and now they're gone. All gone, my darkness consuming them all.
Maui, what have you done? What have I done? All is lost.
No, that's not right. Standing in front of me is proof. One of mine, a little curly-haired female is here. Her island—for I can see it, a little speck off the horizon, is still full of life and people. There's a few more out there as well.
If I can find myself, then my people can find each other as well. They just need a little help and nudge like I did.
Maui, you stole my Heart and caused so much pain and suffering. But you also helped return it, at the cost of losing your beloved fishhook. You're not the same selfish demigod you were all those years ago. This girl has been good for your Heart, helping it heal a hole the gods could never fill.
Now it's time for me and you to help her and my people. Here, have your fishhook once more, and teach them how to travel the ocean and find each other. Use your powers for good, no more stealing what isn't yours.
And you, Moana, was it? Thank you for returning my Heart and helping me find myself. It is time for you to go home and reteach my people their ancient ways. I promise you'll find it better off than when you left.
Now leave me. I'm finally free, and can back to sleep.
Author's Note
This popped into my head the other day. Basically when Maui stole her Heart, Te Fiti became Te Ka and all cranky because she couldn't sleep. While as Te Ka she lost herself. Think Bruce Banner and the Hulk in the MCU, with Moana acting as Black Widow calming her down. I also got to explore/speculate how many islands/villages the darkness may have claimed before getting to Montunui's shores.
Next chapter is finally Maui's and answering the question, what made him come back? I mean, as an audience we knew it was going to happen, but Disney could have least showed us why/how.
