Moana the Demigoddess of the Ocean

Sleepy Head

The next day, Moana woke up in an embrace, she looked up and saw her father still asleep, nearly letting go of her, she chuckled at the sight, his arms must be feeling tired since he was carrying her all night. She carefully made her way to the canoe, being quiet as possible so she doesn't disturb him, she was feeling a lot better now anyways. She gathered several fruits for breakfast and laid them down in a piece of cloth and approached her father. Maui started waking up, when his eyes are fully opened, Moana greeted him.

"Good morning daddy!"
"Morning sweetheart, did you made breakfast?"
"Yup!"
"Then let's eat."

After breakfast, Moana cleaned up and headed to the canoe, she sighed and starred at the sky, the weather seems nice, might as well, get going, before any storm hits. She let out another sigh and put all of the things they own in the canoe. Maui watched her with worried eyes, he had never seen her like this before, he had been so worried about her yesterday, now, he had been more worried, something must be bothering her, he decided to talk to her.

"Hey Moana?"
"Yeah?"
"Something wrong?"
"No."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"Moana please tell me what's going on."

Maui moved Moana's shoulders to face him, only to be greeted with a sad look from his daughter.

"It's just, it's about the nightmare I had the other night."
"Did it bother you or something?"
"It did bother me, it was one of my worst fears."
"You wanna talk about it?"
"No, we must head out now, that is, before any storm hits."
"Alright, but if there's anything bothering you, come talk to me okay?"
"Okay."

They started sailing once again, they were nearly there when Moana started throwing up, she clutched her mouth and crawled to the edge of the boat, she started throwing up. Maui gasped and held the oar in place and went straight to Moana, although he doesn't know about helping her, he started rubbing her back. After a few minutes, Moana felt a lot better, she thanked Maui and fell asleep. Maui took over first since she needed all the rest she need. After a few hours, Maui decided to wake Moana up since they reached their destination.

"Moana."
"(Grumble in her sleep)"
"Moana."
"Go away."

Maui chuckled at the sight, seeing his daughter still wanting to sleep.

"Moanaaaaa."
"Please, 5 more minutes."
"Moanaaaaa, get up, were here."
"What?"
"I said were here so get up."

Moana steadily opened her eyes, vision blurry then becoming clearer. She rubbed her tired eyes, yawned and sat up, lastly, she did a little stretching to get her body moving again.

"This is the place?"
"Yup."
"Are you sure this guy will have your hook?"
"Tamatoa? Oh he'll have it, he's a scavenger, collects stuff that will make him look cool, and trust me, my hook is the COOLEST collectible."
"And he lives up there...?"
"Oh no no no, that's just the entrance to um, Lalotai."
"LALOTAI?! Realm of monsters?! Were going to the realm of monsters...?"
"We? No, me. You are going to stay here with the other chicken.

Maui imitated a sound of a chicken before letting out a soft chuckle.

"Haha that's right gimme some?"

Maui raised his hand to Mini Maui to have an appear, but Mini Maui doesn't seem to get the joke.

"Come on, that was a good one, I called her a chicken and there's a chicken on the boat. I know she's human but... you know what, I'm not explaining it to you. Because it is 'not' funny."

As Maui was climbing, Moana silently climbed too. When Maui looked below, she wasn't there, when he looked to the right, Moana was climbing.

"Why are you climbing too?"
"Because you'll need help."
"Alright."

When they reached the top, their view encompassed and the soft breeze blew gently. The sky burst with a bright orange colour reflecting the sun as it fell over the horizon.

"The ocean chose you for a reason..."
"If you start singing, I'm gonna throw up."
"Don't say that, you hardly know me yet."
"Ha, I already have a feeling that your voice sounds terrible."

With that, Maui took a deep breath and blew dust. Right where their standing at, is the entrance way to Lalotai.

"Anucks, anucks, awaaaay, heeeeee!"

The mouth-like entrance opened revealing a long way down.

"Don't worry, it's a lot farther down than it looks."
"Wait!"
"What?"
"I'm scared."
"Hop on my back."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."

Maui then jumped with Moana strapped to his back as the entrance way closed, they held their breath as they entered water and let out the air when they made it.

"And he sticks the landing."
"That. Was. Really. Scary."
"You can get off now."
"Oh! Right... sorry."
"No harm done, okay... let's get my hook."
