Story
Yamai, Guardian of the Waters
In ancient times, when the islands of Vanuatu still conversed with the winds and volcanoes slumbered beneath coral swells, lived a man named Yamai. He was no ordinary man. It was said that his soul was intertwined with the ocean, and that under the full moon he could transform into a shark, swashbuckling the waters with obsidian eyes and fins like obsidian blades.
Yamai was born of a sacred union between an island woman and the spirit of the deep sea. From childhood, he heard voices in the waves, learned the secrets of the currents, and swam with the sharks as if they were brothers. But his destiny was not simply to swim: it was to protect.
When pirates arrived with fire and nets, Yamai emerged from the abyss like a whirlwind of scales and fury. The waters turned black, and the invaders vanished without a trace. From then on, the islanders knew that Yamai was not just a man, but a guardian spirit.
Every dawn, the fishermen left offerings on the shore: shells, flowers, and songs. Before setting sail, they murmured his name to the wind, asking for protection. Some said they had seen him swimming alongside their canoes; others claimed he guided them to schools of fish when hunger gnawed at them.
But Yamai didn't only protect from human threats. When storms raged and reefs became deadly traps, his shark-like silhouette emerged from the waves, guiding lost boats to safe waters. His presence was a sign of balance: between man and sea, between fear and faith.
Today, although motors have replaced oars and maps have replaced the stars, the fishermen of Vanuatu still respect Yamai. In their nighttime songs, in the stories told around the fire, his name lives on like an ancestral echo.
Because as long as there is a sea, there will be Yamai.
