The Fuse That Sparked Feuds
Her name is Hana Honua.
Her very existence has caused many quarrels between the tribes of Emera Island.
Let's start from the beginning.
Sato and Kala
Sato was the patriarch of the Uila tribe. He was married to a woman named Mila, and they had three sons together: Yuma, Onida, and Hinto. But this was not enough to satisfy Sato, so he looked elsewhere.
Then he saw the beautiful Kala Honua, and thought that he must have her.
Kala humoured him for a while, but soon caught feelings, resulting in an affair. Soon after, she fell pregnant. Sato told her no one could ever find out, and he cut her off.
Luckily, Kala had a loving sister, Kohana, matriarch of the Honua tribe. She helped her through everything.
A couple of decades later, Sato's wife, Mila, became gravely ill. On her deathbed, surrounded by her family, Sato whispered into her ear about his affair with Kala. And so, Mila died with tears in her eyes.
Yuma, being the curious man he is, wanted to know what his father said to his mother. Only when Sato's days were up did he tell his son the truth. Yuma became enraged, and plotted revenge with his brother, Onida - to kill the woman Sato had an affair with.
It was a stormy night, and the Honua tribe were tucked away in their beds. The brothers snuck in quietly, counting each tribe member. But there was an extra one...someone they did not recognise, until they looked at her serene face. She looked exactly like their father.
Onida suggested that they kill her, too, but Yuma did not want to diverge from the plan. And so, they approached the sleeping Kala, eclipsing her face with a cloth soaked with chemicals.
Now that Kala was enjoying a different kind of sleep, the pair dragged her from her bed, to the outside. Her body sloshed through the wet mud, covering her head to toe until she was unrecognisable. As the lightning illuminated the night sky, Yuma struck the sombre woman, bringing an eternal darkness to her mind.
Unfortunately, the thunder woke up Nara Honua, and so the brothers fled the scene. Kala's body was not discovered until the next morning, by her niece, Sommer.
Kohana immediately knew who was behind this. She confronted the Uila brothers alongside Nara and Sommer. Astonishingly, Yuma confessed to everything, with a sly smile on his face.
And so started the feud between the Uila and Honua tribes.
Mikai and Toni
As Hana grew into a beautiful young adult, she could not escape the prying eyes of the single males on her island - Mikai Ahi and Toni Wai.
Mikai was the first to pursue her, for he desperately needed a wife to carry on his legacy. The Ahi were notorious for keeping their distance from the other tribes, and so Hana was flattered.
