Kingdom Hearts X Unchained: Moana World

Chapter 3: Cave of Voyage

     I stepped inside the large hut. Inside was a numerous amount of people. All were standing to the side, leading a path in the center, up to what I assumed to be the chief. Chief Tui, who was wearing a crown made of straw and feathers. They all looked at me. I slowly began walking to the chief, keeping my eyes forward. I noticed there was a woman by his side, probably his wife. And another woman, around my age, sitting further behind. I stood before the chief; he towered over me. He looked down at me,

"You, are Leaf?" he asked.

"Yes, sir" I nodded.

"I am Chief Tui. Island Chief on Montui! My hunters, Azul and Auryon have told me much about you. You are, from another island?" I nodded. "How did you get to our island?"

"I was lost in the storm, my raft crashed, and I drifted here."

"So, you no longer have means of traveling on water?"

"No, sir. Do you all, perhaps, have any ships I may use?" Tui looked around at the others, chuckling.

"We do not, for we, do not travel from the island. All we have are our small sails, for fishing. Not meant to go a far distance.

"I mean, I was traveling on a raft," I said.

"And look where that got you" Chief Tui laughed. I looked down as I realized Tui was right. "Azul, tells me you are a good fighter yes? Says you helped defend my hunters earlier."

"That's right."

"I see... I assume you are going to try and sail back to the ocean?"

"Mmhm" I nodded.

"Well, we would be more than happy to lend you the materials to help you make another boat. That is, you know how to build one" It hit me just then that, I did not know. I had assumed that these people would've had some boats I could've borrowed.

"I... do not," I said.

"What? But you..."

"I didn't make it. It was made for me."

"So how do you plan on making it?"

"I... I'll figure something out."

"Well, I'm going to ask you one thing" I looked up at the Chief. "Can I trust that you, Leaf, will not bring any harm to my village?"

"Of course not, sir" I replied. The Chief gave him a long hard look, then smiled,

"Glad to hear it. I see you have already dressed in our attire" I looked down at my new islander outfit, "We have a place ready for you, Sefa will show you" He waved towards a boy, standing to the side amongst the others. He looked to be a little younger than me. "In the meantime, I hope to see you around Leaf. Maybe you help us out with farming or hunting?"

"Sure, If you need it," I told the chief.

"I thank you" He turned towards the others watching, "Meeting is over, welcome, Leaf!" Everyone began clapping. I turned a little red from all the attention.

"This way Leaf" Sefa called. I began following him. We walked out to a rather small hut, on the outskirts of the village. It was right next to the beach. Inside was a straw bed, a wooden stool, and a small fireplace in the middle.

"Thanks, Sefa," I said.

"Do not mention," Sefa replied, "May I ask you something Leaf?"

"What is it?"

"What is it like, beyond the great blue?" I thought for a second,

"It's like here; many trees, sand, and water. Not much different" I explained.
