Moana - Warrior's Journey (AU after the first film)

Chapter 30: Trail of Tears

A/N: I sincerely apologize for the long wait. I had a major writer's block. I hope none of you are angry at me. But here it is...

Moana, Maui, Pua, and Heihei had to stay at Hangaeke until Maui felt better. After Maui felt better, they thanked Takuta for taking care of their sickness.

"How can we ever repay you?" Moana thanked Takuta.

"No, no, it's my job to take care of sick people," Takuta said.

"We thank you for your kindness," Maui thanked him.

"You are very welcome, don't worry about it," Takuta said. "However, I still suggest you to eat and drink more of the warm food."

"We will, our diet is mostly warm anyways," Moana said.

"Make sure you drink a lot of fresh water or coconut water," Takuta said.

"Thank you for the advice," Maui said.

"Now good luck on the journey," Takuta said. "Thank you for capturing Hukapehe. Ever since it's gone, the island became much warmer as there are no other gods to cause blizzard on this land."

"Don't blame it too much," Moana said. "And we should be going. Come on Pua, come on Heihei." Moana picked up Pua and Heihei.

"I'll take Pugley," Maui said as he took Pua out of her arms.

"Farewell, Moana and Maui," Takuta said as he put his fist on his chest and back.

"Farewell," Moana and Maui responded by putting their fist on their chests and backs. 

Moana and Maui got their boats ready to get ready for the next island. "Which island should we head next?" Maui asked.

"Let's see... according to the map..." Moana said as she examined the map. "Next one should be... Roimana... the name sounds depressing."

"It does... tears lake... it's like sad people everywhere on the island," Maui said.

"Sounds like you've never been there," Moana said. Maui nodded. "That's one of the islands you've never been to." 

"Yup," Maui said.

"Well, let's head on over," Maui said.

"Next stop, Roimana!" Moana announced. 

"You haven't said that for a long time, kid," Maui said.

"As far as I remember, I was all upset to say anything after each islands," Moana said. "Starting from Reigna, Pararaiha, Whakamehara, I was all upset about different things after completing our mission in those islands."

"Thinking about it, I think that's true," Maui said.

"I wonder what sad things will happen in Raimona..." Moana said. "Even the name sounds very depressing."

"How many do we need to capture?" Maui asked.

"Just one," Moana replied. "In the rest of the islands, we have to capture one or two, unlike Reigna and Whakamehara. It may be simpler to find the forbidden creatures."

"But what about fighting them?" Maui asked.

"We can't say that for sure," Moana said. "Some may be stronger than the giant eel we fought. Just judging by the images, I mean."

"Well, we'll make sure that they eventually stay in peace," Maui said. 

"Mmmmmm..." Moana moaned as she stretched her arms and legs. "Wow, it feels like I didn't stretch for such a long time!"

"Do you want me to fish tonight?" Maui asked.

"No, it's fine, I can fish tonight," Moana said.
