In the setting sun, the ship slowly began to stitch together. They still had plenty of wood, but the receding light made it difficult to see their progress. It was obvious that the holes were sealed, however, the finishing touches would have to be done in the light of day. Before long, Thal called out to her crew, "Okay. We're calling it a day. Good work. Find a spot to set up camp." She stepped onto the pier and walked past Melita towards the beach.
Only food and rest were on her mind at this point. A nearby grove of molten pineapples called her name with a comfortable-looking tree next to it. She had no plans to be anywhere else for the night. Now that her ship's vital injuries were repaired, she felt at ease.

Becaue all this time the monster has been me.
