Chapter 323: Manu, the hermit Part 2

"Listen, we started on the wrong foot and even though it was all your fault, I must admit my social skills are lacking. I'm a hermit by choice and I don't speak much to people, but your objective and mine are aligned and I think we can help each other. Let me take you somewhere and then we'll speak." Manu said as he ushered Uriel outside his cave.

The sun was on his zenith and the island was a peaceful place encompassed by the sound of the ocean. They walked in silence, something they both enjoyed, and because Manu knew the island like the palm of his hand they had no need to use the roads which saved them a lot of time. Eventually they reached a stone platform that Uriel was able to recognize.

"This is Ahu Akivi, a sacred place. Why did you bring me here?"

"This is where your journey must begin, that is, if you accept to take on the challenge of Te Pito Te Nua."
