Ritnaran was floating in the middle of the ocean on some kind of log. Next to him was a small cabin boy, a fifteen-year-old boy named Lasar. The other sailors were somewhere nearby, but... Well, when you swim for hours, it starts to make you irresistibly sleepy. Ritnaran and the cabin boy must have dozed off, and during that time all the other sailors got lost. Lasar was still asleep and didn't know what terrible situation they were in. However, how could things get any worse; they are already thrown into the sea... But wait? With the corner of his eye, Ritnaran saw a small patch of land behind him.

At his core, the mage was a good guy, so he decided to wake up the cabin boy and then try to reach land together.
-Hey, Lasar, wake up! - Ritnaran called out to the boy. - I need your help.
Obviously, there was nothing to row with except hands, unless they could find some boards around that could be used as oars.

--Yes, yes, what? -- the cabin boy woke up. I thought about it and changed his name to Lasar, so as not to parody the surname of your character.)
There was really nothing to row with, except for the staff that Ritnaran took with him. However, the current was slowly carrying them in that direction.

However, there was no point in hoping for a change in the current. Ritnaran pulled out a thoroughly soaked map and tried to assess the weather, but he couldn't make anything out. Apparently, the Templars had forgotten to warn the mage that the map worked erratically when wet.
Well, the wizard asked the cabin boy to row with his hands and his staff, while he himself tried to create a small breeze against the current, thereby pushing the boat closer to the shore.

It was going well: slowly but surely, the sailors were approaching the shore. They were accompanied by a small group of particularly flying fish. Unlike ordinary flying fish, these, particularly flying ones, used air magic, which meant they didn't need to be small. These fish were about half a meter long and fed on insects.

-I'm starting to get hungry..., - Ritnaran finally said. - Do you think we can catch at least one of those fish?
However, he immediately thought, "On the other hand, how would we do that? Maybe hit it on the head with a staff to stun it. But how would we eat it? There's no fire, and I've never tried raw fish."
-Actually, never mind, - the mage changed his mind. - There are probably some inhabitants on the island, and they will feed us.
"Unless, of course, they are the kind of inhabitants who will feed on us," Ritnaran thought to himself again.

The boy looked dejected. "I don't like fish; it makes me nauseous." They managed to reach the shore and avoid drowning, or even being eaten by sharks, which could be considered a good start. There were no signs of civilization on the shore, and the area was friendly and forested.

-Well, at least one thing is good, Rithnaran said encouragingly to the boy. - We are alive and well. And the rest is a matter of time. Would you mind taking a short walk?
The mage suggested exploring the island in search of fresh water, non-seafood, and, of course, civilization.

“Should we split up?” asked the cabin boy. This idea had its pros and cons. On the one hand, Ritnaran knew that Lasar was fast, so exploring the island would be much quicker. On the other hand, the island wasn’t very small, and if one of them got lost, it was unclear how many days it would take for them to meet again.

-Hmm, you know what, maybe we'll do it this way, - said the mage. - I have a map, the only problem is that it will probably take until evening to dry. For now, I'll use magic and logs to build small shelters from the sun, here, not far from the shore. And then we'll set off in different directions to search. Whoever finds food or water tries to bring it with them, in any case, they remember the location. When the sun starts to set, we return along the shore. I think by that time the map will be dry, and we'll have a rough idea of where we are. We'll examine all the islands near the crash site, and then we'll find out which one is best suited for us. I advise you to find some kind of weapon; there are many trees here, just in case, any club will be useful. The main thing is not to go too far from the shore. Alright, let's go.

– Understood, – said the cabin boy. There were many branches and logs in the forest, and it was not difficult for Ritnar, with the boy’s help, to build shelters. The leaves of the local plants were not too large, but if you placed branches with them on top of the shelters, it would protect against not too heavy rain. If desired, a fire could be lit: some of the old trees had tinder.

"This actually improves our plans!" exclaimed the wizard with joy. "Now, we can easily start a fire and dry the map. Then we'll go for a 'walk' together; it seems to be getting late. Let's try to find at least some drinking water, because after a whole day of work, I'm terribly thirsty."

Easier said than done. Tinder and kindling from the forest created a wonderful flame. The sun began to set over the sea, and the sunset was very beautiful. The only problem was that visibility was gradually decreasing...

So, did they set out in search of water? Or not yet?

-Hmm, it seems that getting water here won't be easy... - Ritnaran thought, trying in vain to see something in the forest. - It's my fault, I should have finished the construction faster. Eh. Well, it's okay, we'll slowly return. Most likely, the map has already dried out...

So, did they set out in search of water? Or not yet?

Please format it as general thoughts rather than quotes, otherwise I won't understand you, and you might change your mind due to external circumstances.)
--Honestly, I'm thirsty. No, I'm not complaining, but we need water. We managed to start a fire, surely we can find at least some water?
