- We were voyagers!
We were voyagers!
Why'd we stop?
- Maui, when he stole from the mother island, darkness fell,
Teka awoke, monsters lurked and boats stopped coming back.
To protect our people, the ancient chiefs forbid voyaging
and now we have forgotten who we are
and the darkness has continued to spread,
chasing away our fish,
draining the life from island after island.
- Our island.
- But one day, someone will journey beyond our reef,
find Maui, deliver him across the great ocean
to restore the heart of Te Fiti.
I was there that day, the ocean chose you.
(dramatic upbeat music)
- I thought it was a dream.
- Nope!
Our ancestors believe Maui lies there
at the bottom of his hook, follow it and you will find him.
- But why would it choose me?
I don't even know how to make it past the reef
but I know who does!
(solemn music)
