The sun was almost gone beneath the horizon. Purple was the sea, and gloom seemed the boats that sailed on its surface. Although, if one looked a little closer, they could see that those boats were far from being gloom: they were only in a small moment of rest that the ocean had granted them. The explorers had indeed traveled a great distance and the weak breeze was perfect for taking a break while watching the sunset. The few of them that worked were only to recover the nets that had been thrown in the morning. Still, the task was done lightly, with glimpse of music in their hearts. The first stars wouldn't appear until a few minutes. On the main boat, Moana stared at the horizon with her hand on her forehead as she tried not to be disturbed by the strong last rays of sunlight. The first moment of peace in a few days. Her tired mind couldn't focus on any goal but one: finding new territories to explore. She let her brown eyes carefully examine the line between the sea and the sky, trying to spot any seagull or island she could find. A hand on her shoulder made her jump: her father stared at her, amused:
"Anything in sight?"
The young woman shook her head and observed the ocean once again. Even if her father only stood next to her in silence, Moana knew what he wanted to say. The water supplies were running low, the crew was tired and the only food left was the fishes they caught on a daily basis. It had been a while since their last stop. Alas, still no island in sight. No one complained, but everyone had the same thought. That is why she kept examining the horizon, in hopes of finding anything that could give a rest to her and her crew. Chief Tui sighed:
"Don't worry, Moana, we'll find an island soon enough."
"I know"
She gave her father an optimistic smile and decided to get some rest. She sat down next to a sleeping Pua and let the breeze stroke her skin. Helplessly, her thoughts went to the first time she sailed, along with Maui, to return the heart of Te Fiti. The ocean felt so much purer than back then. A few years had passed; a few years spent exploring the sea in search of new islands along with her people. A few years to change everything for the better. Moana wouldn't lose hope. They would find a way to get some water and fresh supplies. All they needed was time.
The sun disappeared beneath the horizon, leaving them under the night sky. Stars reflected themselves on the water's surface, giving the illusion that they were sailing in a boundless sky. They were never in the dark, not really. But as soon as the moon appeared, a man from one of the fishing boats called out:
"Chief Tui, Moana, I think you should come and see this immediately!"
At the sound of their names, both of them stood up and hurried to join the calling man. Yet, as soon as they saw what he wanted them to see, all they could do was stare in disbelief. There, in the net, wiggled two men and a woman, trying to escape from the fishermen. Moana could distinguish a lionfish tattoo on one of the men's chest. When he noticed that he was being observed, he stopped moving, as did his companions.
"I swear they were all fishes a few minutes ago."
