Returning to a Master Wayfinder

Finding and Defeating Lono Part 2

Moana's P.O.V.

We are about an hour from reaching Lalotai. "So..." I say. "What?" Maui asks me. "What's the plan?" I ask. He looks at me and smiles. "Same one you gave." He said looking at me fondly. I smile. "You ready?" He asks me. I nod my head. As we land on the beach I notice a figure. Its a human figure. But I remember Gramma Tala's story's of Nanaue or the shark men. And I remember her saying that Te Fiti's brother was one of them.

We slowly approach the figure. Its Lono.He's still knocked out cold. I nod to Maui and he ties the figure up. As he's tying his legs up the figure starts to groan. Maui hurries and Lono wakes up. "Please...I want to go home..." He moans. Maui and I look at one another. "Home?" I ask. He nods his head. "At the bottom of the ocean." He says. "Why are you not fighting?" I ask him.

Lono's P.O.V.

"My dear, I be a Nanaue but, I am not an animal." I say simply. She looks at me doubtfully. "You know I wasn't a Nanaue from birth. I was a demigod...like you Maui. But one day, Tangaroa, the god of the sea, cursed the island I was on. I begged him not too. But then Te Fiti, my sister came. She fought with Tangaroa. Then she looked at me. I looked at myself and broke down into a rampage as I saw what I've become. Te Fiti then used her powers to freeze me. The next thing I know is I'm trapped on the bottom of the ocean. For years I was trapped as the demon. But now I would like to go home before I hurt anyone else. Please..." I ask.

Maui's P.O.V.

We sail in complete silence. When we reach to the middle of the ocean. I look at Moana. "Be careful." She says. "I will. I promise." I say. I peck her lips and shape shift into a shark. Lono holds onto my fin and I swim down. Deeper and deeper until we reach a barrier. "Can you swim?" I ask Lono. He gives me a look and I give him a toothy grin.

"Just making sure." I say. He nods his and swims to the barrier. As he enters he looks at me. "Hey Maui." He says. I look at him. "Thanks." He says smiling and walks into the cave. I swim back up and shape shift back into my human form. Moana smiles. "It's all done. He's home and where he belongs." I say. She walks up and hugs me. "I have something to tell you." She says. I nod my head.

Moana's P.O.V.

As I'm I'm waiting for Maui I heard a voice in my head. "Hello my dear." I heard Te Fiti's voice say. "Te Fiti! Hi! Everything is almost done! I'm just waiting for Maui." I say in my head. "Good, good! My dear I forgot to tell you something when I last saw you." She says. "What?" I ask. "Moana, you know the prophecy of restoring my heart right?" She asks. "Yes, why?" I ask. "Well there is more." She says. "Ok." I say.

"Well, a mortal would sail across the great ocean delivering Maui and restoring my heart. But a year later the same mortal will sail across the ocean once again with Maui and put my brother back into his prison. That mortal then will become a demigod or goddess." She says. I put two and two together and realize that mortal was me.

"Me?! A demigoddess?! What will my parents say?! What's my village going to say?!  What will Maui think?" I think."Te Fiti?" I ask. I get no answer. Then I hear a splash. I turn around. Maui's smiling. "Its all done. He's home and where he belongs." He says. I smile and I hug him. "I have something to tell you. He nods his head.

Maui's P.O.V.

"You might wanna sit down for this." She says. I look at her confused but do what I'm told. "What's this about?" I ask. She bites her lip and takes a deep breath. "When I was waiting for you, Te Fiti talked to me." She started. "Ok and what did she say?" I ask. "She told me that there was more to the prophecy. About how a mortal would sail and deliver you across the great ocean and restore the heart. Then a year later that same mortal would once again sail across the ocean with you and put Te Fiti's brother back in his prison. Then once they put Lono back in his place that same mortal would become either a demigod or goddess." She says. I think a minute and do the math. My eyes grow huge.

Moana's P.O.V.

I watch as Maui's eyes grow wide. He opens his mouth to say something but no words come out. Then he faints.
