Your mind races with the memories of chaos. The starvation, the bloodshed, the fear. You need to make sure that never happens again. By any means necessary.
By the time the unloading is done, a group of villagers comes to greet you, led by Keoki, a family friend.
<span class="mu-b"> Captain Lono, you’re alive!</span>
“Keoki! <span class="mu-i">Aloha, brah!</span>”
You embrace, feeling comfort for the first time in ages.
<span class="mu-b"> We thought the fleet was lost, it’s a miracle you’re here.</span>
“Far from it, let’s talk.”

The walk through Ke Awa isn’t the great homecoming you’ve expected.
It’s the launching site of almost all ocean voyages from the Ahi Coast, but its looks more like a shantytown now.
“What happened here?”
<span class="mu-b">You’ve been gone a long time. When the fleet didn't return, your parents thought the Taya Trade was a better investment than ships into the unknown. Your sister left and took her money with her, leaving us to pick up the pieces.</span>
“We’ll show them a good investment.”
The impoverished sailors stare in awe your Elite Guard and their shining Anyaten weapons.
They demonstrate their effectiveness, sharper than stone, harder than obsidian, these are the fruits of your sacrifice.
<span class="mu-b">By the Loa, this could change The Island forever.</span>
“And there’s more where that came from, across the sea.”
<span class="mu-b">I’ll send a runner to the Hall of Peace.</span>
“Wait! If what you said was true, the people should know Hope has returned to The Island. We can march on the hall, the Elite Guard at the front. The entire trade route can see what we can accomplish when we work together.”
<span class="mu-b">That’s gonna draw a lot of attention, I thought you didn’t like all these politics?</span>
“I don’t, but someone has to do something.”
<span class="mu-b">If you’re gonna go yourself, at least take a small group. It won’t attract attention, the rest of your crew can rest here, and you talk with The Axeholder once you’re there.</span>
