The stars were falling. As impossible as it may have seemed, the stars were in fact falling, orbs of bright white light, pure against the deep navy sky above. The water around him shining with starlight, a voice calling out to him. A female voice. Soft and melodious, loving in an almost motherly nature."Too late a child, not yet a man. Hear my voice beneath the sea, calling out to come join me. Listen to this guiding song, worry not for nothing's wrong. Let my voice lead you this way, I will not lead you astray. Let the ocean fill your lungs, struggle not, soon peace will come. Taking in your final breath, sink down to the ocean's depths. He who'd wanted nothing more, breathes now at the ocean floor. We will always be together, sirens are so very clever. Hear your voice beneath the sea, sing forever here with me."

As he began to drift farther into the depths of the sea, the white starlight continued to grow brighter. The farther down he sank the less he struggled. Soon different memories would flash before his eyes. Collecting silver flasks on the deck of a ship, a ferocious storm with foaming swells that would crash against rocky cliff walls. Familiar faces danced in front of him before fading to a series of docks and beaches littered with individuals of all kinds. As they faded so did the rest of his memory, dissolving like sea foam, leaving him empty and new as he faded to black.
