Moana! The woman of legend! She was favored by four immortal beings:

Kamapua'a! The pig god!

There aren't many people who believe Kamapua'a had anything to do with the great chieftess but, according to legend, Moana befriended a pig and saved it from drowning in the ocean. Since then, the island of Motunui has been known for its teeming population of pigs.

Te Fiti! The mother of nature and life itself!

She loved Moana and continued to bless her after her heart had been restored. Fruits and vegetables sprung up from the earth spontaneously and flowers never seemed to die. The people of Motunui prospered greatly! As long as Moana was with her people, they were given more blessings than they could handle. Even as they sailed the ocean, they always had enough food and their fresh water storage never ran dry.

Tangaroa! The god of the seas!

He chose Moana to carry Te Fiti's heart across the ocean. After Moana had fulfilled his wishes, he continued to aid her in her travels and sent fish of all kinds. It has also been said that he aided Moana's grandmother in becoming a giant stingray after she died.

Maui! Shape shifter, trickster and demigod of the wind and sea! Hero to all!

He helped Moana restore Te Fiti to her original glory and taught her how to sail the ocean! Because of his teachings, Moana became the greatest Wayfinder in the world! Her incredible skills on the water were unparalleled and her fearless leadership gave her people courage. Many islands were discovered and inhabited because of their travels. Some even believe that Maui pulled up new islands from the sea for Moana to discover. His love for her was as great as Te Fiti's.

But! Their favor became a curse as the years passed by. Pele, the fire goddess, became jealous as she watched the other gods faun over an insignificant mortal. It also began to anger her when they would restore the islands that she laid waste to. She would burn everything to the ground in a matter of minutes but the next day plants, animals and all manner of life would be restored as if Pele had never destroyed it.

She felt as if Te Fiti was mocking her power. Fire was an essential part of life. What turned to ash would give way to new life over the years. But Te Fiti only seemed to erase Pele's existence. What was burned would be magically replaced in an instant. It was infuriating.

Oro and Tu, the gods of war, thought it would be great fun to fan the flames of her anger. They began to give her ideas and help her mess with Moana as she and her people traveled across the ocean. They made the rations rot, pestered the sailors with illnesses and burned their boats. Moana pleaded for help from the gods as her people began to die.

Tangaroa was the first to answer. He put out the flames on her boats and filled their nets with fish. Te Fiti sent herbs and medicines to revive the remaining survivors and Maui chased away the mischievous gods of war, warning them not to disturb the Wayfinder or her people again.

Pele was truly angered. Fire would not be restrained.

Though Pele did not bother Moana again on the ocean, she harassed the chieftess when she discovered a new island. Pele did her best to curse the very ground Moana stood on. She filled the Wayfinder's mind with terrible dreams so she could not sleep, burned down homes with people inside, and turned their resources to ash.

When Maui and the gods found out about Pele's actions, they were infuriated. But before they could assist her, Moana confronted the fire goddess! She chastised her and demanded she leave. The goddess was amused and continued to destroy the island. Against all odds, Moana lured the goddess to a fresh water spring and Maui fell from the sky in the form of a wail, causing a wave of water to douse Pele. The goddess was infuriated but she retreated and allowing both of the heroes to enjoy their victory.

After the battle, Maui helped bury those who had died at Pele's hand. Te Fiti blessed Moana's tribe with fertility and made life blossom on their island while Tangaroa gave the Wayfinder gifts of silver and gold from the belly of the ocean.

Though much had been lost, there was still hope for Moana's people.

Pele raged and seethed as she watched Moana's tribe begin to thrive once again. The fire goddess was outraged that she had been driven away and chastised by a measly human. On that day she vowed she would have her revenge. Amused by her anger, Oro and Tu both offered their assistance. After all, war was what they lived for.

"Alright! The end! Time for you all to go and pester someone else on this island!" the old lady stated with a dismissive wave of her hand. The crowd of children all cried in protest as she got up from her chair and used her cane to pull herself into the kitchen.

"Tutu! We can't go now! That can't be the end! Did Pele go after Moana again? What about the war gods?" a little boy called from the crowd.

"Don't make me chase you out, Ainalani! Take your friends and leave your old Tutu at peace," the old lady said, shaking her cane menacingly. All of the kids began to run out the front door of the cottage as the old lady walked closer with her wooden weapon. Ainalani turned around and stopped to look at her.

"Why don't you ever tell us the whole story, Tutu?" Lani asked with frustration.

"Bah! Maybe I'll tell you the rest next week," Tutu answered flippantly. The boy shook his head and began running to catch up with his friends.

"If I told you everything now, you would stop visiting," she thought with a sad smile as she watched him leave.

"You know? He reminds me of someone," a deep voice spoke behind her. Tutu's muscles tensed and she clenched her teeth.

"Get out of my hut," the old lady growled, looking back at the large tattooed man angrily.

"Common! You can tell the story to children but you won't talk to ME about it?" Maui asked indignantly.

"I'll talk when I'm dead," she stated with a glare.

"But…" Maui began but she cut him off.

"Get out," Tutu demanded. Maui opened his mouth to retort but closed it. With a sad sigh, he took a firm grip of hook, shape shifted into a bug, and flew out her window.
