Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Moana. All belong to Disney and the stories creators. I have decided to write this after a moment of inspiration struck. My character is loosely based off of Polynesian mythology, which I honestly don't know much about. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story. Rating and reviews are greatly appreciated. Now, may I introduce Lahela. I hope you enjoy meeting her though she may not be quite what you were expecting.

Prologue

Life constantly changed. Humans constantly adapted. For Lahela though, she hardly noticed. Time was a relative thing to the goddess. It had been centuries since she last actively watched over them. There seemed little point to her. Despite all that was thrown at those mortal beings, they kept going. It was clear to her that protection and divine assistance was not needed. She would leave that role to the others.

She had other preferences, such as testing their will and strength. Great storms raged against islands simply for her own enjoyment. Lahela, as a goddess, was more feared by humans than worshiped by them. At least by those who knew her name. When terrible storms passed through, elders would often mention her name, reminding the younger generation to appease her to gain good weather. It was a practice that she once participated in. She took a more passive route when it came to her followers now.

This shift had gone noticed by the humans, many often questioning why there was such a change. An answer was never received though. Only she knew why.

Some years passed before she found herself in a new routine. As always, she would watch over the islands and walk amongst them when she desired, but she always kept a distance from the humans. Something else lingered in the back of her mind. The fate of Te Fiti. It did not take long to hear about Maui's actions and the consequences that followed. With the demigod nowhere to be found to right his mistakes, Lahela took it upon herself to keep an eye on Te Kā and the darkness that was looming over the world. It was hard to believe Maui could have caused so much trouble.

That was not something she tried to dwell on, however. She had enough spite for the demigod to last her lifetime, and that spite tended to be received by others. The ocean was one of those. The heart of Te Fiti was lost, most likely at the bottom of the ocean, and the ocean was doing nothing. How could anyone be expected to get Maui to return Te Fiti's heart if neither could be reached. She did not like the ocean and it was something she voiced often. Her storms at sea often were blamed on the ocean and she loved hearing such words from the humans.

As far as anyone was concerned, Lahela was an observer. That would soon be changing though. Humans were not the only ones changing and adapting. Everything gave in to time eventually.

Short and sweet introduction. Well, not so sweet. There's not much sweet about Lahela. But that is where I leave you for now. Expect the first chapter up soon. The next one will definitely have that more narrative feel.
