Ahsoka sailed all night long well into the next day. She navigated by the sun's position as Fantasia and Quinlan had taught her. And as ashes flew in her direction, she knew she was headed in the right direction.

"Lavadera can't follow me into the water." said Ahsoka. "We make it past the barrier islands, we make it to Lei Reigna. All of this, I'm telling myself because my friends are all chasing after Quinlan."

Ahsoka readied herself to get through the barrier islands. And that was when Lavadera once again rose from the barrier islands with a mighty roar.

Lavadera tried to strike Ahsoka, but she steered her boat out of the way and began sailing to an opening, only for Lavadera to block it.

Luckily, Ahsoka found another way in, but Lavadera sent a bunch of rocks falling down. But Ahsoka didn't lose the heart. Unfortunately, as she spotted Lei Reigna Island, she did get knocked into the water.

Lavadera tried to strike Ahsoka again, but this time, something swooped in and stopped the lava monster.

"Quinlan!" Ahsoka exclaimed when she saw a hawk.

Lavadera was also blinded by bright lights and clouds that were blown in by Fantasia and Dream Heart.

"Guys! You came back!"

"It was either this or let Myra beat me with my hook until the day she died." Quinlan said.

"Myra!" Ahsoka scolded.

"What? He's immortal." Myra shrugged.

Ahsoka looked at the still cracked hook.

"But, your hook." said Ahsoka. "One more hit and..."

"Lavadera's gotta catch me first." smirked Quinlan.

Quinlan used his hook to flip the boat back over.

"We got your back, Chosen One." said Dream Heart.

"Go save the world." said Quinlan.

"The alicorns put the kids down and flew out to help Quinlan keep Lavadera distracted

"Quinlan. Daughters of Reigna." said Ahsoka. "Thank you all."

"You're welcome." the demigods said.

While the demigods fought Lavadera, Ahsoka, Myra, Fiesta, and Zatt steered their boat to Lei Reigna.

Lavadera managed to knock Quinlan down at some point, but the daughters kept Lavadera distracted from him, only for the lava equine to shoot a fireball toward the kids!

"Ahsoka!" Quinlan shouted.

Ahsoka grabbed her friends and got them onto Fiesta, who flew them off, and the ocean carried Ahsoka onto Lei Reigna.

"Get the heart to the spiral!" Quinlan shouted when he saw Ahsoka get to the shore safely.

As Ahsoka climbed and Lavadera got ready for another attack, Quinlan grabbed his hook and jumped towards the beast, making tons of ash fly everywhere, and destroying his hook.

Ahsoka climbed and climbed, but then she heard Fiesta shout.

"Ahsoka! Mira!"

"Ahsoka looked over the barrier and was shocked to see... there was no spiral in sight. Not even an island within the barriers!

"Lei Reigna." gasped Ahsoka. "It's gone."

Ahsoka looked back and saw a spiral on Lavadera. She watched as Lavadera tried to attack again, she only went after Quinlan, but seemed to avoid the daughters. Ahsoka looked at the heart again and saw a spiral behind the horseshoe flower symbol. And that was when it hit her!

Quinlan shouted for Lavadera to look at him and shouted at her in another language, angering the lava monster again and motivating her to make another lava ball.

Suddenly, there was a flash of green light, and Lavadera looked to the empty barrier to see the flash of Lei Reigna's heart.

Ahsoka started walking down the island in the direction of Lavadera. The others had no idea what Ahsoka was doing as she approached the edge of the shore.

"Let her come to me." Ahsoka told the ocean.

And the ocean parted, forming a path from Ahsoka to Lavadera.

Lavadera roared and headed right for Ahsoka, who slowly walked towards her, this time with no fear.

Ahsoka:

I have crossed the horizon to find you
I know your name

Ahsoka climbed atop another rock as Lavadera came even closer.
They have stolen the heart from inside you
But this does not define you

Ahsoka looked up into Lavadera's fiery eyes, the lava monster holding a look of confusion and then one of awe in her eyes.

This is not who you are

Lavadera cooled herself down and brought her large muzzle down to Ahsoka.
You know who you are

Ahsoka put her hand on the now cool black rock of Lavadera's muzzle.

"Who you truly are." whispered Ahsoka.

Ahsoka placed the heart at the spiral on Lavadera's chest.

Immediately, flowers and green leaves began to sprout from the spiral, spreading all across Lavadera;s body, the rock breaking down and revealing a beautiful green alicorn with a flowing mane made of thousands of vines and beautiful flowers of all different colors.

"Lei Reigna!" Ahsoka smiled.

"Mother!" Fantasia, Dream Heart, and Forsythia gasped happily.

The ocean carried Ahsoka up into the air as Lei Reigna touched her horn to the rest of the island, restoring it to its former beauty. Fiesta landed with Myra and Zatt, and the three daughters soon joined them too. And so did Quinlan once the ocean caught him.

Ahsoka hugged her friends, all of them glad to see each other alive.

"If you ever scare me like that again, I will never let you live it down." Myra said.

"At least your sense of humor is still intact." Ahsoka chuckled.

Ahsoka looked at Quinlan.

"I'm sorry about your hook."

"Well," said Quinlan. "Hook, no hook, I'm Quinlan Vos."

Suddenly, that was when everyone was lifted up by a big green feathery wing that belonged to Lei Reigna. The kids all knelt before the beautiful island goddess, and so did Fiesta and Quinlan. The daughters, however, flew up to their mother and nuzzled her with so much love. She gave each of them a kiss, happy to see her three children back home. But then, she looked sternly at Quinlan.

Quinlan gasped.

"Lei Reigna!" Quinlan smiled awkwardly. "Hey, I mean, how you been?"

Reigna said nothing and looked at Quinlan sternly.

"Mom, don't eat him." Fantasia said.

Reigna rolled her eyes and snorted.

"Look," said Quinlan. "What I did was... wrong. I have no excuse. I'm sorry. To you and your daughters."

Lei Reigna smiled and brought out her other wing, and on it sat... a brand new hook!

Quinlan gasped and was overcome with enthusiasm.

"You know," said Ahsoka. "it'd be rude to refuse a gift from a goddess."

Quinlan accepted the hook.

"Thank you. Your gift is deeply appreciated." Quinlan said. And he used the hook to change into a bird, and took flight.

Reigna lowered her muzzle down and let each of the kids place a hand upon her.

She gently set them down on the ground and spread lots of beautiful flowers, and even gifted the Mata-Jedi a new boat covered with flowers. And then, she lay down to resume her slumber, changing back into the beautiful island.

"I'm gonna miss you, Rosie." said Quinlan, ruffling Fiesta's mane.

"You could come with us, you know." said Ahsoka, packing food for the trip home.

"Our people are gonna need a master wayfinder." said Zatt.

Quinlan smiled and said, "They already have one."

Quinlan lifted his necklace and showed a new tattoo appearing on his chest. One of Ahsoka mastering the sport of sailing across the sea and finding lands old and new.

Ahsoka smiled and hugged the demigod.

"See you out there, Quinlan." said Ahsoka.

"See you out there, Ahsoka."

And Quinlan took off and flew away.

However, they wouldn't be going without some demigods of another sort.

The three daughters decided to accompany Ahsoka and her friends home.

"Someone's gotta set your people straight about letting their kids choose their own spouses." Fantasia said.

All across the world, island began to revive. Plants grew and thrived, fish returned, and people began to notice... including Manta-Jedi.

Ahsoka, Myra, and Zatt's parents all looked around with some of the people, when Shaak spotted something and gasped.

Shaak was the first to start running towards the shore. And soon, so did Aayla, and the guys, as what they spotted was their children on a boat headed gome.

Ahsoka, Zatt, and Myra each ran right to their parents, all receiving a big hug.

"We may have gone a little ways past the reef." Ahsoka said.

"It suits you." chuckled Plo.

Villagers cheered when they saw the two princesses and young prince returned alive and well. And when everyone saw the three daughters, everyone was filled with awe and disbelief.

"Your kids are very special." said Fantasia. "On our mother, Lei Reigna's behalf, we wanna thank Ahsoka for being so brave and leading her friends to restore our mother's heart."

"On another note." said Dream Heart. "we say it's time to end this betrothal thing. Other islands already stopped. Anakin and Carmine agree."

"The twins are alive?" said Mace.

"Yes. But don't even think about planning either of their weddings." said Forsythia. "They're both also already married and have kids."

"If you wanna visit them, though..." Fantasia said. "Consider making Naboo island your first destination to voyage to."

The Chiefs looked at each other and at their kids.

Before they knew it, the big voyaging canoes were brought out for the first time in forever.

The ocean presented a shell to Ahsoka and her friends, and instead of stones atop the mountain of leaders, they each placed a shell to symbolize a new start.

And before they knew it, they were starting their first voyage in years.

"Next stop, Naboo Island!" Ahsoka declared.

Aue, aue
We set a course to find
A brand new island everywhere we roam
Aue, aue
We keep our island in our mind
And when it's time to find home
We know the way

"And that is the tale of how the great islands were saved through their connection to the water, and one special girl it chose to revive that connection." Caroline concluded.

The kids cheered for the end of the story.

"I wanna be a sailor like the princess!" said one girl.

"How amazing would it be if we could travel the ocean like that?" Gabby asked her cousin.

"It'd be a nice change of scenery from flying through space." Lamenta said.
