    Megan drifted down through a starlit sky. Calm radiated out from the stars. They enfolded her in a gentle clasp as she floated for an endless time. Below her, a reflection of the stars moved gently, and it was only as her feet touched down that she realized she was entering water. The warm liquid slid up her calves and thighs until it covered her entire body; its buoyancy pushed her body towards the surface, and she floated there for several minutes before realizing the water was whispering to her. She pressed her head back into the water until her ears were covered. The water around her seemed alive.
    Tiny waves broke over her bare breasts, stimulating her nipples, and little tendrils of water slid into her vagina, sparking a gentle desire. The sensations became more intense and the water around her moaned in time with her thrusting hips. The water became a hard force circling her clit like a mini whirlpool and pushing all the way up into her dripping cunt, smashing into her g-spot over and over until an earth-shattering climax shook her. The waves crashed over her with loud groans as if they, too, were achieving an orgasm. Her body spasmed several times in tiny aftershocks and miniorgasms as the waves came to a slow, rippling stop. The tendrils of water withdrew from her body with obvious reluctance, caressing the inside of her thighs, kissing the entire surface of her body before slowly merging with the water around her. After several more moments the whispering became clear, and she realized it was a familiar voice.
    Be still, you have nothing to fear . The waves rocked out the deep baritone of Urlon's voice. You are inside of me, inside my mind. This is a place that has always been reserved for the one who would be my Amat. All the secrets of my universe are unlocked to you, each a sparkling star should you wish to explore. I need to explain what has happened to us, for you to understand. The waves quieted for a moment, and then resumed.
    Many eons ago we, too, were once as the humans are now, encased in a flimsy skin of flesh with no fur or tribe, vulnerable to the sea and the cold. When we were humans, there came a time of forgetting. We forgot to keep our pact with the sea, pulling out its riches indiscriminately and destroying the very thing that gave us life. The sea grew angry, and began to cover the land as a punishment. In our insubstantial human bodies, we had no chance at surviving the rising waters.
    Many of us decided to build a large ship to hold as many people and animals as possible to repopulate after the sea calmed, and the waters receded. There was not room on the ship for some of us, and a pact was made with a few of our number and the sea. Five hundred would leave the ship and become part of the ocean as a new species that would hold physical characteristics of land creatures, yet remain able to survive the incredible cold and stormy seas. The sea was already regretting its impetuous rise and agreed to the pact, even allowing for the p'or to come to land in human form to find mates. Those left behind on the ship agreed they would allow women who so desired to bear children for the p'or. As a result of the pact, those who remained on board the ship and those who were going to the sea agreed to tell the story four times each year to keep the pact part of memory forever.
    One part of the agreement was that any female children born of such unions would remain on land as humans, and any males were to go to sea and become p'or. The p'or have been a magical people ever since—man upon the land and seals upon the sea.
    When Urlon's voice died away, Megan remained suspended for several moments in the water. The strange calmness that had been with her throughout the story remained, despite the disbelief that was beginning to push its way forward in her mind. However, there was no denying what she was experiencing felt too real to be a dream. Was it possible
