A Beautiful Life and a Tragic End (PK)

A beautiful life has come to a tragic end. No fighting, no words, just a woman and the water. Astrid Saylur Morgan lived on a ship her whole life. She found comfort in the water. Swimming, playing, and living in its embrace. Her whole life is consumed by the ocean, ever so constantly surrounded by it; but this comfort was stolen when her ship capsized in a storm, her whole family destroyed, and her the only survivor. Terrorized every day by the thought that her family would be gone forever, deep in the ocean, where no one would find them, she felt so lost. Staring out at the water near the Barony of Rhein, she felt a pull to the water. A deep yearning inside her, a calling. She began walking, into the water, slowly sinking into the depths of the blue. Slowly, breathing in pain, and misery as she had been, it was easy for her. She went quietly, just walking in, and sinking down. Sand under her feet, slowly, feeling the sand disappear as she got further into the water. Closing her eyes, breathing in the embracing sea, she took her last breath. On the 10th of the Malin’s Welcome, 33 S.A. Astrid Saylur Morgan walked into the water, and did not walk out.
