A rock thrown by god

It seems that we are reaching the most interesting part of plans for a sea route across the Pacific Ocean. However, there is apparently some distance between the islands you discovered, Tahiti and Fiji... This time you are requested to find out whether there might be another island between Tahiti and Fiji and survey that island if you find one. Please help out the Amboina town official again.

1. Good news
Ah, it's you! Great timing, great timing! I've received the report on Tahiti. A most interesting, most exciting discovery. What brings you here this time.?
Oh, I see. You're investigating the possibility of another island, located between the islands of Fiji and your isle of Tahiti? I have some good news for you, then.
2. The same as god's name
I located similarities in the myths from Aotearoa and Tahiti, and having investigated the matter further some most interesting commonalities have emerged. The name of the principle god in both of their respective myths is very similar indeed.
The miracle brought about by this god was...
3. Myth of creation
To create the sky, the land and all life. That's right, the same as our own religion's story of creation.
That's the preface. Now listen carefully to the relationship between this myth and your request.
4. Endless ocean
The following myth comes from the islands of Fiji that you yourself discovered.
"The world was originally just water. Then god released a bird. The bird flew over the waters. Eventually it tired, and searched for somewhere to rest. But all it could see was water..."
5. Birth of islands
"Pitying the bird, god took up a stone and hurled it into the water, and thus where many islands created..." Among them was the Fiji archipelago. However the issue here is "many islands". This definitely suggests more islands than just those comprising Fiji.
6. Search the sea around Fiji
As with the Hawaiki, the myths of these indigenous people are often closely linked to the real world. If we believe this story then there should be more islands out there, quite possibly close enough for birds to fly between. Go and investigate the area around Fiji... and just hope the bird that their god released was not migratory!
7. Where the rocks thrown by god landed
Traditional myths from the islands of Fiji suggest that there is at least one more island nearby. Investigate the seas around the Fiji islands and find it.
