WE WERE VOYAGERS! [Moana has just discovered that she was descended from voyagers; she runs out of the cave, screaming excitedly] WE WERE VOYAGERS, WE WERE VOYAGERS, WE WERE VOYAGERRRRRRRS!!!!!!!!!! [sits down besides Tala; calmly]

Why did we stop?! Gramma Tala: *Maui.* When Maui stole from the mother island, darkness fell, Te Ka awoke, Monsters lurked, fishing boats stopped coming back. To protect our people, the ancient chiefs buried our past to be forgotten. Years have past and we have forgotten who we are. And now, the darkness has spread, taking our fish, draining life from island... after island! [Tala points a place on the island where there is a large patch of dead vegetation; Moana gasps] Moana:
[realizing] *Our* island!
Gramma Tala: [optimistically] But one day, someone will leave our island, journey across the ocean, find Maui... [Tala opens her abalone locket and placing a jade green stone in Moana's hand; the Heart of Te Fiti] Gramma Tala: ...And restore the Heart of Te Fiti! I was there that day... the Ocean had chosen you. [Before their eyes, the ocean becomes animated and stretches over to look at the two women as music plays in the background]
