The young sailors sailed well into the very next day.
While she manned the sail, Ahsoka practiced saying what Qui-Gon told her to say when she found Quinlan and the daughters.
"I am Ahsoka Tano of Manta-Jedi. You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and restore the heart of Lei Reigna."
Zatt stood at the bow as a lookout, and Myra kept an oar in case the wind stopped.
"Even if we find Quinlan, how are we gonna find the daughters?" asked Myra. "We don't even know what they look like."
"Well, we got Fiesta with us. Maybe she has an idea."
Fiesta thought and said, "Well, their horses like me. So, maybe start thinking like an equine."
But horses were not commonly known to roam the sea. So, another idea was to think of their powers. They knew one daughter controlled the sunlight, another the wind, and one gave strength to the seeds to help them sprout.
When night fell, the kids followed the constellation of Quinlan's hook... until a wave flipped them and their boat over.
This time, Fiesta went in the water with the others.
Ahsoka called for help as a storm brewed, making the waves bigger and stronger.
"Help us! Please!" Ahsoka screamed.
Zatt was fine with breathing, but the rough waves made it hard for him to keep up with his friends.
Fiesta whinnied and swam to the others as best she could. Zatt grabbed hold of her tail, Myra got on her back, and Ahsoka held on as a huge wave rolled in towards them! And SPLASH! Everything went dark.
Sometime the next day, the boat was flipped onto the shore of another island.
Ahsoka felt herself being lifted out of what felt like sand, and the sun was shining on her face.
The Togruta princess sat up and coughed.
"Are you okay?" said a new voice.
Ahsoka was more awake now.
"Who said that?"
"To your left."
Ahsoka looked to her left and saw an alicorn she'd never seen before. She had coat as white as puffy clouds, eyes green like the heart of Lei Reigna, and she had a beautiful golden mane.
"Who are you?" Ahsoka then realized. "Fiesta! The others!"
Ahsoka looked around and called for her friends.
Myra popped out from the sand and spit some out she'd gotten in her mouth. Zatt came out from the water with a soaked Fiesta, and shook themselves dry.
Ahsoka held a look of anger as she approached the water.
"What? I said help us, and wrecking our boat?!" she said angrily. "Not helping!"
Ahsoka tried to kick the water, but it pulled its waves back before she could.
"Fish pee in you all day! So... hmph!"
"You know, you don't have to get so heated up about it." said the new equine. "And I should know, the sun's in a perfect position this morning."
Ahsoka looked at the new equine. Then she looked into the locket and sighed with relief when she saw the heart still in there.
"Are you one of Lei Reigna's daughters?" Ahsoka asked.
"Yes, I am. I am Fantasia, daughter of the sun."
"I am Ahsoka Tano of Manta-Jedi. You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and restore the heart of Lei Reigna."
"You found my mother's heart!" Fantasia smiled. "Thank the heavens!"
"Well, that's one daughter down." said Myra. "We still have two more to find, and a demigod."
"Hey, look!" Zatt said, pointing at some rocks.
The girls looked and saw a bunch of markings, markings of five slashes to count days, all forming the shapes of hooks.
"Quinlan?" Ahsoka asked the ocean, a wave moving as though nodding.
"So my hunch was correct." Fantasia snorted. "Time to settle a score with that demigod."
"Before you get revenge or anything," said Ahsoka. "We need him and your sisters to help restore the heart."
Suddenly, the group heard something.
The kids grabbed an oar or a stick and hid behind their shipwreck.
Ahsoka quietly practiced what she needed to say again.
"Quinlan Vos, demigod of wind and sea, 'I am Ahsoka Tano of Manta-Jedi. You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and restore the heart of Lei Reigna. You will board my-"
"Boat!" said another voice. "A boat!"
And the owner of the voice lifted up the boat with ease. The others looked to see a human male with tan skin and long hair, yellow marks on his eyes, and a bunch of black tattoos all over his shirtless body.
"The gods have given me a-"
"You!" Fantasia glared.
The man screamed when he saw the alicorn princess.
"Oh man!"
And the man dropped the boat before Fantasia jumped on him and held him down, snorting in anger.
Ahsoka stood tall with her oar and spoke.
"Quinlan Vos, shapeshifter, demigod of the wind and sea... I am Ahsoka Tano of Manta-Jedi-"
"Hero of man." interrupted Quinlan.
"What?" said Ahsoka and Myra.
"It's actually Quinlan Vos, shapeshifter, demigod of the wind and sea, hero of man."
"Hero of men?" said Myra. "Our island is dying because you stole a mother island's heart!"
"Oh, forgive me. Men and women. Both. All. Not a guy, girl thing."
"Is he for real right now?" Zatt asked.
"This is one loco demigod." said Fiesta.
"Will you just listen?!" said Ahsoka. "I am here to-"
"Oh, Yes, yes, yes..." said Quinlan, getting Fantasia off of him and moving the boat. "Quinlan always has time for his fans."
Quinlan took Ahsoka's paddle and carved a heart and hook picture into it.
"I know," chuckled Quinlan. "Not every day you get a chance to meet your hero."
"You are no one's hero, Quinlan." said Fantasia. "My sisters and I know you are a thief."
"Ow!" Quinlan cried as Ahsoka whacked him on the head with her paddle and then grabbed his ear. "We did not come here so you could sign my oar. We're here because you stole the heart of Lei Reigna! And you will board my boat, sail the sea, find the other daughters, and put their mother's heart back!"
"Um... yeah." Quinlan said, trying not to sound in pain as Ahsoka yanked his ear. "It almost sounded like you don't like me, which is impossible because I got stuck here for 1,000 years trying to get the heart as a gift for you mortals. So you could have the power to create life itself."
"Mortals can't handle that kind of power." said Fantasia. "That's why we protected our mother's heart before you came along."
Quinlan pushed the white alicorn's muzzle away and said to the mortal kids, "Yeah. So, what I believe you were trying to say is thank you."
"Thank you?" The kids said.
"You're welcome." Quinlan said.
"What?" Ahsoka said. "No, no, no! I didn't... I wasn't..."
"Why would any of us ever say that?" Myra said.
But Quinlan laughed and said, "Okay, okay."
I see what's happening here
You're face to face with greatness, and it's strange
You don't even know how you feel
It's adorable
Well, it's nice to see that mortals never change
Quinlan showed off the magical tapestry on his skin
Open your eyes, let's begin
Yes, it's really me, it's Quinlan
Breathe it in
I know it's a lot
The hair, the bod
When you're staring at a demi-god
Quinlan flexed his impressive muscles and tossed back his long hair like a male model.
What can I say except, "You're welcome"
For the tides, the sun, the sky
Hey, it's okay, it's okay
You're welcome
I'm just an ordinary demi-guy
Hey
What has two thumbs and pulled up the sky
When you were waddling yea high?
This guy
The kids couldn't believe this guy's arrogance, but they had to admit he was a good dancer and did some impressive things.
When the nights got cold
Who stole you fire from down below?
You're lookin' at him, yo
Oh, also I lassoed the sun
You're welcome
To stretch your days and bring you fun
Also I harnessed the breeze
You're welcome
To fill your sails and shake your trees
So what can I say except you're welcome
For the islands I pulled from the sea
There's no need to pray, it's okay
You're welcome
Ha, I guess it's just my way of being me
You're welcome
You're welcome
Well, come to think of it
Kid, honestly I could go on and on
I could explain every natural phenomenon
The tide, the grass, the ground
Oh, that was Quinlan just messing around
I killed an eel
I buried its guts
Sprouted a tree, now you got coconuts
What's the lesson?
What is the take-away?
Don't mess with Quinlan when he's on a break-away
And the tapestry here on my skin
Is a map of the victories I win
Look where I've been
I make everything happen
Look at that mean mini-Quinlan just tickety-tappin'
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha, hey)
Quinlan distracted the kids with some coconuts and pretty flowers.
Well, anyway let me say, "You're welcome" (you're welcome)
For the wonderful world you know
Hey, it's okay, it's okay, you're welcome (you're welcome)
Well, come to think of it, I gotta go (hey)
Hey, it's your day to say, "You're welcome" (you're welcome)
'Cause I'm gonna need that boat
But the kids didn't seem to realize Quinlan was making his way to their boat.
I'm sailing away, away, you're welcome (you're welcome)
'Cause Quinlan can do anything but float
You're welcome
(You're welcome)
You're welcome
And thank you
And Quinlan put the kids and the horses in a cave, blocking the entrance with a big rock.
"HEY!" Ahsoka shouted. But Fantasia stepped in front.
"Allow me." said Fantasia.
And with a blast of solar wind, she blasted the rock out from the entrance, the rock falling onto Quinlan and knocking him into the sand.
"Oh, great. You killed him." Myra said sarcastically.
"Relax, he's a demigod." Fantasia said, lifting the rock with her magic horn. "See? He's fine."
Quinlan lay face-down in the sand, groaning.
Myra grabbed some rope from the boat, and she and Ahsoka tied Quinlan up, Fantasia casting her spell to make sure Quinlan wouldn't be able to escape when he returned to consciousness.
"So... how do we find the other daughters?" Zatt said.
"If my sisters are anywhere," said Fantasia. "they're likely at one of the islands that hasn't yet been touched by the darkness."
And so, the group of friends old and new set out to find the other daughters.
