Description
Sargass could feel the stone guiding him somewhere, but he did not know where. He gradually swam deeper and deeper, until eventually the water was black and he couldn't see where he was going.

Then eventually, the vibrations stopped. The strange rock seemed at peace. Sargass looked around, it led him to an underwater thermal vent. What was so special about this? It was certanly different then the rest of the lifeless seabed, the heat attracted many animals, most notably jellyfish. Sargass didn't feel enthousiastic about being here, since it reminded him of his boundary, the place he is stuck at, ever since the incident. Still, going in for a closer look, he discovered something interesting: the larger stone from which this rock must have broken off from. The thought of what could have possibly broken off such a large stone at this depth made him nervous and he decided to quickly place the stone back and leave.

In doing so he noticed another strange object: a dead unicorn's horn. Sargass was surprised to learn that these mystical creatures that he overheard other esk talk about are actually real. Holding the horn, he felt an even stronger pull from it, it needed something as well. Sargass threw it back on the ocean floor and turned around to swim away.

The water was peaceful, dark, just the perfect setting to remember again. His past life. Swimming, but not down here, but in shallow reefs filled with light and life. It all disappeared so quickly... Sargass shook his head to get rid of the thoughts, but they would only come back. He stopped, looking at the water that felt more like thick black oil. With just a thrust of his tail he turned around and swam back to the horn.

"Distract me. Please. Show me the way."

He picked it up and swam away following the vibrations from the object as it resonated with its environment.
