Present Day - Moana and Maui
After a lot of practice Moana was able to use her powers like she had been able to use them her whole life. It certainly wasn't easy and they had many mishaps such as Moana accidentally tipping the boat and sending Maui into the water, he hadn't been too happy with her about that particular stunt.
There was one memorable moment when Moana somehow managed to destroy the a smallish fleet of Kakamora and she hadn't even known they were there. Maui had been about to tell her when the ship disappeared into a whirlpool leaving Maui dumbfounded and Moana more then a little confused until she saw the renominates of the Kakamora's ships.
Shortly after their encounter with the Kakamora they come across an uninhabited island, well they thought it had been uninhabited until they found it was inhabited by little creatures that were similar to the Kakamora only their armor was made out of coconut husks, bits of shells and tried fruit skin.
Maui had said they were mostly harmless, loving to play pranks on whoever happened to stop on their island. Moana had been less then happy when their things went missing even though their boat was anchored to an outcropping of rocks a good way out. Maui had been a little shocked but not completely surprised when Moana had gone to the little creatures and demanded their belongings back.
To Maui's surprise the little creature gave their things back in return for a small favour, they had been stuck on this island after the bridge connecting them to the other island had been broken in a storm, it turned out there were a series of small island connected together by rope, vine and wood bridges.
Fifteen years ago a huge storm had somehow passed the reef and broken the bridges. Moana and Maui helped rebuilt the bridges and created a barrier between the islands and the tropical storms. It turned out the little creatures were relatives of the Kakamora but had decided to stay on land living off their islands and the sea. It was a strange set up but it seemed to work well for them.
Moana new there was a very big chance she could be immortal and didn't really know how to deal with the idea of living forever. On one hand she would be able to go on adventures forever and would never grow old but on the other hand she would outlive everyone in her village and would have to watch her children die if she ever had any, which she knew she would despite the fact she could very well live forever.
Getting used to using her powers was relatively easy. The hard part was getting used to feeling the ocean and knowing exactly were they were, if there were monsters or a storm coming. She found it strange she didn't have to eat all that often and didn't really have to sleep but chose to anyway.
Maui had been more then helpful, patiently answering all of her questions. Even though she was a master when it come to Wayfinding she still had a lot to learn and Maui was more then happy to teach her. They had several more run ins with the Kakamora as well at one point a giant octopus that Maui called the Kraken.
After the Kraken had been delt with they stopped on an island which had, at one point been inhabited though it was abandoned. The place had an eerie feel. Moana felt like she was being watched. Maui seemed to be on edge for some reason, they found a cave near a lagoon. Moana didn't know why she felt so scared.
They had no choice but to stay the night when a massive storm hit. Maui had thankfully dragged the boat far enough ashore that it wouldn't get washed away by the large ocean waves. Moana felt the ocean insistent tug, leaving her breathless, the ocean clearly didn't want them to stay on the island but they had no choice.
Later, once they had escaped the island Moana wished she had listened to the ocean and convinced Maui it would be better to leave the island and brave the storm. Apparently Milolii and Kilioe were the reason for the destruction of the village. Moana had no idea what they were doing there but she had desire to stay and find out.
Moana was pretty sure her powers was the only reason she had beaten Milolii. Neither of them had been able to way find after their escape so Moana asked the ocean to take them where they needed to go to next while Moana and Maui tried to relax and reassure themselves that they and each other were completely fine.
They never noticed the ocean had been rocking their boat, trying her best to comfort the two scared and distraught demi-gods, oh yes of cause she knew Moana was a demi-god, had known what her future would be since the day she had tried to give Moana Te Fiti's heart, she had been shocked when it had seen the hook shaped tattoo on her back.
She wanted very much to give Chief Tui and good talking to, in trying to protect his daughter he had nearly caused her to drown. She was more then glad Moana was a natural at sailing and helped the best she could. Moana and Maui were destined to meet. They were very much alike and would work well together as a team.
She hadn't helped Moana when the Kakamora had attacked because she knew the girl hadn't needed her help. Maui nickname of Princess was pretty apt given the fact that what she was. A Princess even if Moana denied she was one. When she had given Te Fiti her heart back she had stopped being the Princess though wasn't the Queen quite yet.
She hadn't help Moana because she had known Maui was more then capable of protecting her chosen one. She had a long talk with Tangaroa about that storm after Te Fiti's heart had been return and she had gained her form again. He had seemed so unconcerned which had infuriated her, didn't he understand he could have killed Moana and Te Fiti would have never gotten her heart back and god only known what would have happened to Maui.
She knew better then anyone Maui had come to care about Moana. His reaction after his hook had been broken and Te Ka had gone after Moana had been enough of a give away. Having Moana around had been good for him though the gods other then Te Fiti didn't seem to see it that way and were determined to test her. Milolii and Kilioe were apart of that test.
She knew the gods had best tread carefully when it come to Moana Waialiki, she was a stubborn strong, kind and caring child but if you hurt her family all her kindness and compassion went out the window. Moana was a force to be recoded with but none of the gods seemed to see that. She got the feeling Te Fiti and the other goddess were sitting back and watching everything fold out just waiting for the moment when the gods push Moana one step to far.
Moana had a hard time sleeping, her dreams turned into nightmares - not ever being able to go into the ocean, being stuck on land forever, Maui leaving and never coming back. Glowing eyes watching her while the reminence of cold laugher following her into the waking world making her feel cold to the bone and oh so scared.
Maui was more then happy to comfort Moana after a nightmare, he knew exactly what they were about without her having to explain it to him. Maui had no idea why Milolii and Kilioe had attacked them, normally they would have felt the two of them alone. Maui got the impression they were being tested or more specifically Moana was being tested by the gods why he had no idea.
He just hoped the gods knew what they were getting themselves into by doing this Moana. Maui had seen her truly made and it was a terrifying sight. Even back then the ocean seemed to respond to her anger. If the gods were going to test Moana then they best be ready for what was going to happen when Moana had enough of there games.
The gods could exceedingly childish at times.
Watching Moana as she learned to control her powers was interesting, he didn't appreciate taking a late night dip when Moana had accidentally tipped the boat, she had somehow managed to stay dry. Maui had been dumbfounded when Moana had destroyed a small fleet Kakamora, the little coconut wearing creature floundering in the water and gripping at bits of wood.
It had been fascinating to watch the Kakamora build a raft out of the broken bits of there boats connecting them together with rope, Moana had just laughed and helped them build the raft much to their shock. They clearly hadn't been expecting Moana to help them rebuild their boat soon after destroying it.
Maui had a feeling that particular group of Kakamora wouldn't be bothering them again any time soon, or at the very least not attack them the next time Moana and Maui crossed paths with them. Maui very much hoped Moana was immortal, meaning they could have adventure for the rest of eternity and he wouldn't have to suffer loosing her.
Moana would never know just how much Maui had come to reply on her. She trusted him, Maui was fairly certain there were plenty of thing Moana had told him that her parents had no idea about. He would never tell anyone what Moana told him, he wouldn't betray her trust like that.
Maui had told Moana things that no one knew about, the things that weren't recorded in legend. Only his most well known feats were depicted in legend. Maui told her what it had been like living with the gods and some of he pranks he had played on them when he was younger to keep himself entertained.
He didn't tell her everything, he was fairly certain he had the rest of eternity to tell her all of the other stories. At least he hoped he had the rest of eternity to tell her everything he knew. He never truly fit in anywhere, he was caught between words, he wasn't a god but he wasn't a human either. Without his hook he was nothing more then Maui the orphan.
The humans only saw a hero because of his powers, they didn't see him for who he really was. His biggest fear was they would forget about him. He would be nothing more then legend. He had to deal with all of insecurities when he was marooned, and tried not to fall asleep, when he was asleep his subconscious played out his many failer's, the ones the humans didn't know about because they hadn't made it into the legends.
Moana was the only human who had seen Maui for who he really was, an excepted him weather or not he had his hook, she had unknowingly given him everything he had ever wanted. In return he taught her Wayfinding and many other skills, giving his comfort and protection when she so desperately needed it.
There was a very good reason why he was so protective of Moana. She was moral and could very easily get hurt or be killed. It was a miracle Tamatoa hadn't killed her. Maui knew she would make a great chief one day. Maui was very glad she was able to think on her feet otherwise Tamatoa would have eaten him and god only knows what the giant crab would have done to Moana had he gotten the chance.
Maui knew his protectiveness of Moana made her parents and the rest of the village trust him even less. Maui did not like Tui at all, because he had been so protective of Moana she had nearly drowned. He very badly wanted to tell him what had nearly happened to his daughter because of him but he did.
The villages of Montinui at least had the decency to making sure he wasn't listening before they said things about him. Questioning why he was there, why he stole Te Fiti's heart, why he was so protective of Moana and what did they really do when the two of them were alone together.
Maui had no idea where any of them had gotten these idea. His relationship with Moana completely platonic, he knew they were closer then most friends but they didn't have a normal friendship. Moana had saved his life and he had saved her in return, of cause they were close, who wouldn't be after something like that?
Maui did not like Tapu one bit, and was of the opinion Moana should have sent him home after the rumors started. He had the gal to ask Moana if he could court her after they had returned from Lalotai, Moana hadn't said anything to him. Maui knew Moana knew about he rumors about the two of them.
