Just to make things clear, they're not forcing the dragons to come back, some will stay, and some go, it's their choice. It's like a safe island if their homes are invaded by Dragon Hunters or something. And thank you FoxyKhai0209 for the ideas of Keoni's ancestor's name.
Everyone was in the village hut. Maui explains to the villagers that Lord Draco created Mistral to bring the heroes that save Te Fiti and the islands and return the dragons back to their region. They were shock and amazed by this but isn't sure if it's a good idea. I mean, they do want to bring the dragons back on the islands, but the Norse Region is too dangerous and too cold. They won't survive there without experience. But Maui assured them that he and Cayden can protect them...mostly Cayden since it was his job to protect Malie and the others from danger.
"I don't know." Tui said, rubbing his chin. "It sounds too risky."
"I have to agree." Kale said. "Maui, how can you be sure that this voyage is safe enough for Moana and her friends to go?"
"Trust me, they're in complete protection." Maui said. "And besides, don't you all want the dragons back."
"We do, it's just...we don't know what dragons that are out there might harm them." Pualani said.
The villagers muttered in agreement. It's been so long since the dragons disappeared. The only dragons that are friendly are Aliikai, Makaio, and Cayden. They really wanted the dragons to come back, but they aren't sure if they trust humans since the Norse Region has these beings called Vikings that hunt and kills them, they think the dragons are not so friendly to humans anymore.
"Maui, as much as we want them to come back, I don't think they'll accept humans again." Sina said. "Tala's stories said about Vikings hunting and killing dragons."
"We only know little how to show respect by bowing and the only dragons that we are allow to face are either Aliikai, Makaio, or Cayden." Lanuola informs.
Everyone began to whisper about the situation. Moana was worried that her dad won't allow her and Aliikai go beyond their region to find other dragons. It was too risky and dangerous since they are not familiar with that region. Speaking of Aliikai, the young dragoness was currently pacing behind the hut, wanting to know what they were talking about. Watching her were Cayden, Mistral, Makaio, Pōkole, Pua, and Heihei. They watched as she paced back and forth, except for Heihei. The brain-dead chicken was pecking on a rock. Aliikai was agitated, wanting to know what's going on. She knows that her dad won't allow her and her sister to go out beyond their region because he thinks it's too dangerous. But she wanted to go! She wanted to know if there are other Night Furies out there and maybe her pack, her birth family.
Makaio watches as his friend pacing. He wanted to try and help her, but Cayden turns to him and shook his head, telling the young Tide Glider not to bother her from thinking. Makaio sighs and slumps on the ground, groaning in boredom. Aliikai was so work up on this, it was annoying and boring at the same time. Pua lower his ears as he watched Aliikai being so agitated, wanting to know the news about the meeting. Mistral was parched on Cayden's head, watching the young Night Fury pacing, she was created to assign the heroes to sail across the borders to bring the dragons back, but she didn't expect that this will take long for everyone to agree. Cayden was the only one calm, he was created to be serious and focus on his task, but he can be a caring dragon too. He knows that Aliikai will try and do anything to convince her human father to let her go along with her human sister and friends.
Then Aliikai's ears perked up and turns around to see the villagers leaving. Aliikai peeks behind the hut and saw her dad with her mom and sister, talking to Mui saying they will discuss this tomorrow. Maui nodded before turning into a fly and flies off somewhere. Aliikai went over to her sister and croons, wondering what's going on. Moana pats her dragon sister's head gently.
"The discussion will continue tomorrow, Aliikai. Dad needs time to think." Moana informs.
Aliikai whines sadly as she lowers her head and closes her eyes. Her dad will not agree to do this tomorrow. Moana gestured her dragon to head home with her and the others. Aliikai opens her eyes and follows her family home while Makaio went home to Keonia along with Pōkole. They made it back to the hut and went inside, minus Cayden and Mistral. He was sleeping outside with Mistral. Heihei was walking back and forth near the hut, bumping into a rock and then to a tree, repeatedly. Aliikai lies down on her mattress and sighs sadly, knowing that the discussion won't end well. So, closing her eyes, Aliikai entered a dreamless sleep. Pua went over to Aliikia and snuggled next to her before sleeping soundly. Moana watches her dragon sadly, she knows that Aliikai wanted to go out beyond the region to find the other dragons and her kin. But her dad will say no to Maui's idea of them coming along. Malie walked over to Moana and stood by her side as she looks at Aliikai.
"She really wants to go." Malie said to Moana.
Moana didn't look at her but nodded. "Yeah…I know it's dangerous, but I know we can do it." She said softly.
The two girls watched as Aliikai enters a dreamless sleep, knowing that she will never go out beyond her region to find other dragons. Moana and Malie went in before sleeping to their spot. Moana lies down beside her dragon. And instantly, Aliikai placed a wing as a blanket for Moana and Pua, as they slept.
Tui watches them from the doorframe. He looks at his dragon daughter sadly. Tui knows that Aliikai wanted to go beyond their region. She was like her sister, Moana, wanting to take risk and exploring the ocean. Aliikai and Moana shared their personality from their Gramma Tala. Tui wish they could understand that they are not ready for this, they were still young, seventeen to be exact. They'll do anything to go beyond the region to bring the dragons. However, Tui fears about their lives, he lost his father, his best friend, his mother…he can't lose his daughters.
Tui sighs softly as he looks at his daughters worriedly. Sina walked over to her husband and looked at him before looking at their daughters. She too knows that they wanted to go beyond their region with their friends but was too dangerous, and yet. Moana and Aliikai prove the impossible to be possible. They sail across the ocean, found Te Fiti, and saved their home. And now, Maui's here, meaning they proven their point.
"You know you can't keep them here forever." Sina spoke softly to her husband.
Tui sighs as he heard that, but he understood what she means. She's right, their daughters are free spirited. They work together to face any challenges that might come. They aren't afraid of any dangers as long as they have each other's backs.
"I know…I just…I don't want to lose them." He whispers sadly.
Sina wraps around her arms on Tui's and leans on him. "You know more than I do, they won't leave each other's sides. They can protect each other." She said.
Tui looks at his daughters for a few minutes, remembering them when they were little. They would wrestle each other on matt, trying to see who will win. Of course, Aliikai always win since she's more skilled than Moana. This annoys Moana a lot since she's always pin down by Aliikai, but she would laugh it out with Aliikai. He always forgets that they are no longer little anymore.
Tui released another sigh as he looks at his wife. "I know what must be done." He said softly, causing Sina to smile at him.
Early in the morning, Moana woke up first with a yawn. She sat up and pats Aliikai's head gently. Aliikai slowly blinks open her eyes as she lets out a dragon like yawn when he lifted her head. They both got up while Pua continues to sleep. Malie soon wakes up from her slumber and rubs her eyes before getting up. They, minus Pua, went out to get breakfast when they notice Moana's parents are outside with Keoni and Kale. Makaio, Cayden, Pōkole, Mistral, and Maui were there as well. Moana, Malie, and Aliikai went towards them.
"Ah, glad that you two are awake." Tui said gently.
Moana looks at everyone before looking at her dad. "Is there something wrong?" She asked.
Tui shook her head. "No, me and Kale have something to show you and your friends." He informs.
Moana and Aliikai looked at each other, knowing this could be serious. They followed Tui and Kale to the jungle while Sina stayed behind, watching them leave. They walk to the path for a while before walking off the path. Moana and Aliikai were always told by their dad that they should stay in the path before dark, but for some reason, there was a hidden secret here. They walked for a while before reaching to a cliff that has vines covering the wall.
"Dad? Why are we here?" Moana asked her father.
Tui looks at his daughter before his friend, Kale. The leader of Keahi nodded and walked over the vines before he pulls some away like a curtain. It revealed a hidden cave entrance. Everyone gasped in amazement. Moana, Aliikia, and Keoni know every part of the island, but they never knew this was here. Tui then took a fallen branch that resembles to a torch stick. He then shows it to Aliikai.
"Aliikai? Would you please?" He asked gently.
Aliikai croons and gently fires a small plasma blast on the branch, creating a flame. Tui lifts the torch up before looking at Kale. Kale understood and moved aside to allow Tui to go in first. He told them to follow as his voice echo in the cave. They listen to him as they entered the cave while the dragons and Pōkole stayed behind. Aliikai nudges her human sister, making worried croons to her. Moana gently pats her dragon sister's head and gave her an assuring smile.
"I'll be fine, Aliikai, just stay here with the others. We'll be right back." Moana said gently before giving Aliikai one last pat on the head before going in the cave, followed by Kale, who let go of the vines as it closes the entrance.
The teens and Demigod followed Tui in the cave. Kale was right behind them as they walk deeper and deeper into the cave. Malie stayed close to Moana, she wasn't comfortable to be in such a dark and scary cave. But it didn't take long to reach the end. And what they saw, shocked them. On the end the cave, there were archives. Books were on top of a wooden table, scrolls stacked on the floor, and tapestries of dragons were hanging on the walls. They were shocked and amazed to see such a discovery. Moana looks around the cave filled with archives, she walked over to the table and opens one of the books. She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw what's in it.
It revealed a drawing of a dragon.
She flips through the pages of the books and saw more and more drawings of dragons, their names, and classifications. Moana looks at it for a second before turning to her dad with a shock look on her face.
"Dad? W-What is this?" She asked in shock and in a whisper.
Tui placed the torch on the holder next to him and walked over to his daughter, placing a hand on her shoulder, and gestured the cave. "This was a sacred place." He began. "You ancestor, Matai Vasa, wasn't only a great chief, but also a wise man. He and his people sailed across the ocean. Not only to find our island, Motunui. But Matai Vasa recorded the dragons."
"Recorded every dragon that he saw and…befriended." Tui explains, causing the teens and Maui to gasps in shock.
Kale steps in and added. "It's true. Matai Vasa has documented every dragon that he came contact with."
Malie went over to the scrolls and took one before opening it to reveal a dragon breathing fire. "He did all by himself?" She asked the adults.
"He had help." Kale added. "My great ancestor, Palani, the first leader of the Keahis, helped Matai Vasa to classify the dragons and know how to gain their trust."
"And as new generation comes, he and Matai Vasa made sure that everyone knows the dragons. But when a…curtain event happened. Our ancient chiefs hid it away." Tui explains.
Everyone knew what Tui meant of 'curtain event'. It was when Maui stole the Heart of Te Fiti that made everyone stop voyaging. Maui whistled innocently with his hands behind his back and looking away. But that was not the case. Tui and Kale had brought them here for a reason. Tui then walked over to other side and picked up a book with blank pages before heading towards Moana. Moana puts down the book with the dragon drawings as Tui gives her the empty page book.
"And it seems that it is time for our generation to continue the tradition." Tui said with a small smile.
And this moment, Moana lets out gasps like smile at her father.
Outside, Aliikai was waiting for her human father and sister to come out of the cave. She was worried on what happened to them. She would never leave her family alone, not even for a second. Cayden was lying on the ground on his belly, waiting for Malie to return. Makaio was watching Pōkole playing with Mistral, they were playing tag and Mistral has the upper advantage since she can fly. Pōkole was out of reach. Their wait didn't take long when Moana and the others emerged out from the cave. Aliikai went over to her and notices that Moana was holding an object. She remembered that being called a book. She wonders what's it for. Then Moana gently strokes her dragon sister's head, causing her to look at Moana. Moana smiles at her gently pressing her forehead on hers, closing her eyes.
"We can find your family." She whispers with joy.
Upon hearing this, Aliikai moves her head away from Moana and stared at her in shock. Moana gave her another warm smile and nodded. Aliikai looks at her human father with wide eyes, wondering if it was true. Tui's respond was a soft sigh and nod as he gave her a smile.
"Yes, Aliikai, you and Moana can go beyond our region with your friends and-AH!"
Tui was cut off when Aliikai rushed to him and gave her human father a hug, not with her wings, but with her arms. Tui was surprise by this but soon understood what she was doing. She was hugging him with pure joy and happiness. Tui smiles softly and hugs his dragon daughter, knowing that she and the others will be alright. Maui was hiding his tears. Finding is sad since he never experiences love from a father before but watching this made him feel soft. As they let go, they headed back to the village and told them the announcement. At first, everyone was shock about this news, but soon understood the situation and helped with their travel. They brought the big boat out for them and preparing their supplies. Tui and Kale gave the archives to them, making sure they know how to defend themselves from any dragon that might come their way. After a while of planning and preparing, the teens, dragons, and Maui were ready.
Moana and Keoni gave their families their hugs and goodbyes, assuring them that they will be fine. Pōkole was on the boat with Pua and Mistral, plus Heihei. Cayden was standing guard while Makaio was being hugged by the children's of Motunui. Moana and Aliikai hugged their parents before letting go. Sina gently cares her daughters' faces and smiled at them.
"Safe journey, my little minnows." Sina said softly.
"We will, Mom." Moana said with a smile of her own. "We have each other's backs."
Meanwhile, Keoni was being hugged to death by his mother, Pualani. He keeps assuring that he will be fine on the voyage. She was afraid of her son's life, but she knew that he can take care of himself and keeping Moana safe. As they let go, she turns to Maui when Keoni went to his sisters, who gave him their strong grip hugs, and went over to the Demigod.
"Keep them safe." She said to him.
Demigod gave her an assuring smile. "Don't worry, they're in good hands."
Suddenly, Pualani grabbed him by the ear and pulled him close with powerful strength before giving him a deadly glare. "I mean it. Nothing will happen to my son and my soon to be daughter-in-law. But if something did happen to them, you will suffer MY. Wrath." She said in a dangerous tone. "Got it?"
Maui gulped at the scary woman pulling his ear. Mini Maui was hiding on a tree tattoo of Maui's, shaking in fear at the Keoni's mother. Pualani maybe a kind and gentle woman, but she can be terrifying sometimes. She was the fierce warrior woman in the Keahi clan, and her skills is not to be mess with.
"Yea ma'am! No harm will come to them." Maui said in a frighten tone while whimpering softly. "Please don't hurt me."
Pualania made a gentle smile as she lets go of his ear, causing Maui to fall. "Good to know." She said cheerfully as she walked away.
Maui got up and rubbed his sore ear. Pualani is more dangerous and terrifying than any monsters that he faced! When Keoni came over to him, Maui leans over to him and whispers in a terrifying tone. "How did your dad get a woman like her?"
Keoni looked at him blankly and answered softly. "Trust me on this, you don't want to know."
With that answer, Maui gulped nervously. After their goodbyes, the gang gone on the boat and waved at their families and people. They were cheering them on as they sailed away from the island. Makaio jumped in the water to swim besides the boat as they pass the reef and headed to the open water. Watching them from afar was Tui and the others. They knew that they will bring the dragons back to their region, and hopefully, finding Aliikai's family.
"Stay safe, my daughters." Tui whispers out softly.
As the boat sailed off, Moana looked at Motunui one last time before turning to her friends and then to Mistral. The Wisp Dragon was made by Draco, she is the key to bringing them to the Norse Region and returning the dragons back home. Moana smiles at Mistral as she looks up ahead.
"Take us to the Norse Region, Mistral." She said. Mistral understood and guides to them to their destination. "Get ready guys!"
"You heard the chief!" Maui grins and holds the rope of the mast. "Follow that dragon!"
Aliikai roars happily as she took off to the sky with Cayden while Makaio swims besides the boat, enjoying the water as they headed off towards the Norse Region. Moana looks up ahead with a determined face. She will not let anything stop her or her friends on their mission.
And this where their adventure begins.
That's all I got so far, if you guys have ideas, leave it in the comments or PM me. Thank you!
