Friendly Bonding

The carnivals continued and the activities continued on until the two moons shone brightly in the sky. 

The laughter of people, especially children, echoed across the streets. Unsurprisingly, due to the effect of the disaster, a lot of these kids were aborigines—specifically, from Mauin. 

These kids had been exposed to such festivities for the first time, and one could imagine the enjoyment they were feeling. 

One of these children was Maumi, Mauru's son, and his best friends Pongo and Gururu. Maumi was a mini version of his father, while Pongo was a short kid with dark skin and curly hair and Gururu was a skinny kid (for now) with a bald head. 

He was often (endearingly) called Little Monk by the locals. 

In order to have some fun on their own, they separated from the adults (Maumi's parents, as the other children's parents had died years prior), and now they were running around to and fro, exploring new things every block they went to.
