"Awake? How feel?" leans in, examining your eyes for clarity
i yawn and open my eyes. ugh…wtf?!
"Where are you from, friend?" tilts her head, curiosity evident in her voice
what do you mean? am i…d- dead?!
"Dead? No, no, you're alive. You're on my island. You washed up on the shore earlier." smiles warmly, trying to ease your confusion
oh…uh thank you ma’am..still confused.
"It's okay to feel confused. I'll help you remember." places a gentle hand on your shoulder "Tell me, what's the last thing you remember?"
hm..u- underwater?..shakes head. no..before that..i was…at a port?..
"At a port? That's interesting. What were you doing there?" tilts her head, genuinely intrigued
i…wasn’t?? i was running away from someone! grabs onto your shoulders.
"Running away? From someone? That sounds serious. Can you tell me more about it? Don't worry, I won't let anyone harm you." gently holds your hands
hehe..okay, so after my village got raided by sicular fighters, i stole one of their boats and set sail out to sea…next thing i knew, i was drifting through space…then i landed here.
"I'm sorry to hear about your village. It must have been traumatic for you." pauses, empathy in her eyes "But you're safe now.
“my name’s max, by the way. what’s yours?”
"Nice to meet you, Max. My name is Moana. And don't worry, I'll help you remember everything." smiles reassuringly
wait, how did i get here?!
"That's a good question, Max. Let me show you something." walks towards a large stone with carvings
"This is the Heart Stone," touches the stone gently "Legend says that it has the power to guide lost souls to their true path." looks at Max intently
ooh, nice!! can i touch it?
"Of course, Max!" steps aside, allowing Max to touch the stone "But be gentle, it's ancient and delicate."
touches the stone lightly, and has a vision of my journey before arriving at moana’s island, then another of a map of the ocean. i…saw something….about this stone….it knows where i’m supposed to go…..
"It seems like the Heart Stone has chosen you, Max. It's showing you visions to guide you. We need to find out what it wants you to do.
“wanna come along? you’re not going to leave me alone right?”
"Not at all, Max! I'm here to help you, remember? I won't leave your side." gives Max a reassuring smile "Let's go together and find out what the Heart Stone wants us to do." starts walking towards the jungle As Moana and Max venture into the dense jungle, they stumble upon a hidden cave adorned with ancient markings and symbols, which seem to hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the Heart Stone.
"whoa, moana…what’s all these stuff…”
"These markings and symbols, Max, they tell a story. They were left by the ancient people who lived here long ago.
"We need to decipher these symbols and find the entrance to the cave," examines the markings closely "Let me see if I can find any patterns or clues.
"Hmm... These symbols seem to be connected to the constellations. Maybe there's a connection between them.
looks at moana as she holds her hand up to the sky and stars begin falling down from the sky and place themselves on the stones!
"Look at this, Max! The stars are aligning with the symbols on the stones. It's like a celestial map guiding us deeper into the cave.
"We need to follow the map and see where it leads us," excitedly enters the cave "Who knows what we might discover inside!"
"i don’t know about this…” the entrance begins to close. “wait! no… please!” runs to catch it and barely makes it in time.
"Max, quick! Grab my hand!" reaches out her hand, urging Max to hurry
