The Rulers Of The Islands

World-shaping for the fourth time, they sight Hawaii, a crown jewel in the Pacific: a prize to fight for? or to bring peace to our world from, instead.

Tone: revelatory, uplifting, awe-inspiring, beguiling, cathartic.

Space adventurers found a colony on Hawaii in its distant pre-history. Island neighbors invade, then others. All on it must turn Hawaiian... or perish.

Time Period We remake history as the victors it was written by, reveal the intentions, motives, arc of their, also our journeys.

Conceptual hook: warlike antagonists submit to the love spell of this place. Protagonists emerge to protect the Islands. An historical rewrite to illuminate the otherwise hidden labors of our unsung heroes, the true original native Hawaiians.

Corey Melchizedek, 30s, the main protagonist, a local Hawaiian history buff, sci-fi writer, Earth ambassador. What if our hero's existence, like any visitor's, is postulated... while ancient Hawaiians avoid capture by the historical figures that rule the Islands.

It's love that rules here.

Twist End A flamboyant local sci-fi writer under hypnosis reveals his ancient hosts alone determine who rules Hawaii to this day. These enlightened, ascended masters based here reveal their story for the first time...

Upon Captain Cook's return to land on the Big Island: "Thus begins the end of our Hawaii." Cook plunders the Island during the festival of Lono, God of Peace. The true original native Hawaiians disable a boat that forces its repair into the start of the war season. Cook enables the rise of King Kamehameha. These victors who lack scruples ensure that that generation "becomes of no use to us."

"There are many imaginary or manic characters that would overrun the Islands if we were not responsible. We keep them all in training. But if you extend Aloha Spirit through the world, we will ensure Earth will make it."

Ancient space colonizers stay invisible to modern-day resident savages, enlist the help of filmmakers like Corey to re-imagine history to save us from ourselves, thereby to complete their assignment here. They have three more worlds to rescue.
