Grandma Tala's Story

"In the beginning there was only ocean until the Mother island emerged , Te Fiti . Her heart held the greatest power ever known , it could create life itself ! , and Te Fiti shared it with the world . But in time some began to seek Te Fiti's heart , they believed if they could possess it the great power of creation would be theirs . One day the most daring of them all voyaged across the vast ocean to take it . He was a Demi God of the wind and sea , he was a warrior , trickster, a shapeshifter who could change form with the power of his magical fish hook . His name was Maui . Without her heart Te Fiti began to crumble , giving birth to a terrible darkness . Maui tried to escape but was confronted by another who soared the heart , Te Kā ; a demon of earth and fire . Maui was struck from the sky , never to be seen again . His magical fish hook and the heart of Te Fiti were lost to the sea . Where even now a thousand years later Te Kā and the demons of the deep still hand for the heart , hiding in a darkness that will continue to spread . Chasing away our fish , Draining the life from island after island until every one of us is devoured by the blood thirsted jaws of inescapable death ! One day the heart will be found by someone who will journey beyond our reef , find Maui , deliver him across the great ocean to restore Te Fiti's heart and save us all ", Tala says . " Woah thank you mother that's enough " , interrupts Chief Tui . "Papa!" shouts Moana . " No one goes outside the reef , we are safe here there is no darkness , and no monsters !" , continues Chief Tui . The little children started to cry and scream as pictures of monsters appeared , they also jumped all over Chief . Tui continued to shout " No monsters !" " As long as we stay on our very safe island we'll be fine !"
