10 - The Heart of Te Fiti [OPEN]
WHO: Moana
WHERE: The Forest & The Inn
WHEN: July 5th - 15th
OPEN TO: Closed
WARNINGS: Fighting/Violence most likely...
Moana wasn't sure what to make of it. She had found the heart over a week before but hadn't thought to show it to anyone. She kept it in her grandmother's necklace which was now useful as well as a keepsake of the only family member who truly understood her.
She sat on the floor near the fire place. It was to hot to have the fire going but this had been Moana's seat since winter. She saw no reason to change that now. Itiiti, the little piglet, was snuggled against the side of her skirts, enjoying the feel of the grass around his round little body. She looked down at him briefly, smiling before she gently opened her necklace.
The heart dropped lightly into her palm, glowing a familiar green light.
"Why are you here?" She asked the heart as if it might be able to reply back to her. She'd notice that the strength of it's glow had been changing. Right before the earth quake and now she felt that it was dimming. Like a heart beat that was slowly reaching it's end. "Please. Please don't die. I need to return you to where you belong." Moana begged softly, curling her fingers protectively around the stone.
She knew that the heart brought trouble, Moana had seen it first hand on two separate occasions, but she hadn't thought that it would happen here. This village, this realm, felt so far removed from the world she knew. Surely no one knew what the heart was or what it could do.
She'd been wrong.
It still brought trouble to it's bearer though it was a little different from before. Moana had been walking through the forest, following behind Itiiti as the little pig sniffed out mushrooms and other eatable roots. She had a small basket with her that was half filled with things that she planned to bring back to the inn. With the crack in the rocks and the damage to the town, food that could travel seemed more important than before.
Her fingers sank into the earth as she dug up a handful of fungi. Itiiti bumped her elbow, sending Moana face first into the dirt. Her necklace popped open as she hit the ground and the glowing green heart rolled out of it's hiding place. Moana pushed herself up and reached for the stone. When she her fingers touched the smooth surface of the Heart she heard a roar echo threw the forest. The ground trembled and she thought it was another aftershock of the quake. It wasn't. The trees parted and a large black bear lumbered into view.
"Itiiti Run!" The piglet didn't need to be told twice. He squealed and took off into the woods. For anyone who ran into Itiiti he'd be too frightened to lead you back to his owner.
Moana scrabbled to her feet, wondering if she'd somehow stumble onto the bears home. Her basket of roots and mushrooms had fallen over and now sat a few feet to her left. Against all logical reason she reached down to try and gather up the food back into the basket. "Please stay away." Moana was used to monsters that could understand her and talk. She's never seen a bear before.
The Inn - July 15th
Place Holder. ooc: Heart looses it's glow. Unsure if Moana will have traveled to 7i by then or not. Pending how the meeting on July 10th goes. She wants to see the ocean as soon as she can.And try to get a boat there so that she can try and sail across the ocean. I might also have another prompt up where Moana is being chased by wolves on the 11th or 12th if anyone is interested in that.
WHERE: The Forest & The Inn

Bear (8 July)
"Things like what?" Moana looked up from her water as she asked. She didn't know if Nerya was referring to the heart causing trouble or simply receiving items from home. Both, she thought, were rare.
Re: Bear (8 July)
After a moment, Nerys shakes off her reverie and takes a sip of water, looking back up at Moana. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. I mean...things that could cause problems. Not necessarily inherently bad things, just things that are dangerous or complicated, or have unintentional consequences, like drawing bears nearby, or telling the future, or something."
Though really, their Observers could very well be planning to drop a couple of disruptor pistols or something even more deadly into the mix. Not something she'd put past them.
Bear (8 July)
"You aren't rude. I shouldn't have let it fall out of my necklace." It had been an accident.
"I wish I knew why it was here. All I can do is guess." Moana took a sip of her water, looking more than a little unsettled by her uncertainty.
Re: Bear (8 July)
Nerys drinks some more of her water, the liquid all too welcome on her dry throat. She'll need to patch up some of these scratches, at some point--the risk of infection is incredibly worrying, and haunts her dreams.
"I think all any of us can do here is guess," she says, then looks up at Moana. "I'm glad you're okay, at least. I didn't think anything quite that size or temperament was living here, I'd think someone would have run into one before." The region that they're in isn't that big, and the boundaries are remarkably finite, that much they know.
Re: Bear (8 July)
Moana huffed a short breath before nodding her head. "I'm exhausted. I think I'm going to take Itiiti and go to sleep." At least a short nap after all that running around. "Will you be okay?" Moana looked up at Nerys with a worrying expression.
