Long ago , there was only their were only cosmic beings and the ocean until one day, the mother island emerged from the sea. Her name was Te Fiti. She had a heart that held the greatest power ever known. It could create life itself. Te Fiti shared this power with the world creating many great creatures that inhabited the land and the sea. She created the humans that lived on the islands and sailed the ocean on boats, mermaids who were beautiful, kind, and playful, and the krakens who were powerful gentle beings with some being capable of turning into powerful giants. The mermaids and krakens possessed many magical abilities. These creations inspire the other cosmic beings into creating various creatures and beings of their own that inhabited the world.
For many years there was harmony among the inhabitants, especially Te Fiti's creations. The mermaids and krakens got along very well and worked together to serve as protectors and champions of the sea. But in time, some beings to seek Te Fiti's heart despite it being protected by the goddess and her mermaid and kraken creations. Those who sought the heart believed that they could possess the great power of creation and would be able to shape the world as they pleased.
And one day, the most daring of them all voyaged across the vast ocean to take it. He was a Demigod of the wind and sea. He was a warrior. A trickster. A shapeshifter who could change form with the power of his magical fish hook granted to him by the gods. And his name was Maui. Using both his powers, skills and knowledge, Maui snuck by the mermaids and krakens, until he reached Te Fiti and claimed the heart. But without her heart, Te Fiti began to crumble, giving birth to a terrible darkness. Maui tried to escape by turning into a great giant eagle, but was confronted by another who sought the heart: Te Kā, a destructive demon of earth and fire. Maui was struck from the sky by Te Kā hitting the ocean losing both his magical fish hook and the heart of Te Fiti, which were lost to the sea.
The loss of the heart and Te Fiti hit the mermaids and krakens hard. They desperately searched for the heart, but could not find it. The failed search and Te Kā's dark influence created a rift between the mermaids and krakens, who blamed each other for the theft and the loss of the heart. The two races that had once been dear friends and allies became enemies and fought against each other. Things only got worse as Te Kā took command and control of the various monsters that inhabited the ocean and land and sent them to attack the mermaids and krakens as well as search for the heart. Then Te Kā's evil influence unearthed a powerful weapon previously owned by a cosmic being known as Oceanus. The Trident of Oceanus. The mermaids found the trident and the queen of the mermaids used it's terrible powers against the Krakens and nearly wiped out the ones that were capable of becoming giants driving a greater rift between the two races. It was truly a time of tragedy and darkness.
Te Kā's influence slowly spread through the ocean and islands corrupting and killing as she and her minions searched for the heart with no one able to oppose them. As time went on most of the humans lost faith and knowledge in Te Fiti, the mermaids, krakens, and the other creatures thinking of them as no more then legends as they lived peacefully on their islands, though a few elders still believed in them and they shared this belief with the younger generations and those willing to listen. The mermaids and the krakens all, but forgot about their past history and friendship with each other as they setup their own separate kingdoms and lived separate lives as they continued their own searches for the heart.
Little did anyone know was that a human, a mermaid, and a kraken were about to become entangled in each other's lives and that this trio was going to restore the heart and peace to the world.
To be continued.
