Friday 22 November 1957 Evening. Peak of Turning Tide.
Diana is swinging her hammer towards the huge glass tank when Rúna’s face appears in the unclear, unclean sea water, with a frantic grin that rapidly changes to other emotions, fear, anger.
Diana pauses as Einar and two other men appears down from the path that leads to the stairs leading up.
Behind them is a wall of water, the same huge horizontal wave the investigators saw earlier at the beach.
Einar and Diana ends up in a fight as Lucille graps the hammer and smashes it against the glass to make a mighty crack where the water runs out in a thick stream.
Einar and the cultists tries to patch the glass as Rúna compels the investigators to walk into the wave fast approaching. They are both filled with visions of tranquility and calm and feel drawn to become part of the Current that Dreams.
Lucille, being an occult expert, quickly realises she is under a spell or a curse and shakes it of, before she shakes Diana awake too.
The result marine biologist grabs hammer from her partner and rushes directly into the the fray and strikes the glass shattering it and watches two of the cultists being swept away into the wall of water and Rúna’s disfigured sea creature form fall out on the floor flopping around not able to move on dry land.
Einar tries to pull Rúna to the Current that Dreams, but Lucille jumps on his arm breaking it with her body weight, while Diana destroys the small make-shift alter.
Destroying the altar destroys the incantation that has called the Current that Dreams and it changes from a mighty wall of sea water, to a violent whirlpool that sucks all the water from Rúna’s body, then sucks it in followed by Einar.
Lucille grabs the broken edge of the tank cutting her hands on the glass but refuses to let go.
Diana grabs a indent in the wall, but it is surprisingly slippery with algae and her grip fails and Diana is sucked into the whirlpool as it retracts out of the room leaving Lucille as they only remaining witness to tell the tale of what happened.
Back to Skeljavik
Lucille didn’t quite know how she made it back to town, but she is met by Jonas and Malcolm and many other locals.
She is delirious and in shock as she accounts for the evening.
The locals take Jonas away as he finally realises his wife, Rúna, is gone for good. Somehow he had known when he had found the ashes of her bonfire to burn everything that reminded her of her life in the chapel ruins.
Malcolm stays with Lucille into the night capturing her account as accurately as possible.
Sunday 24 November 1957.
The helicopter arrives to take Lucille home to file her report, report the loss of Diana and close the case and leave Skeljavik, the Driftborn elder families and the Current Dreams behind.
Epilogue
The terror of being sucked into the maelstrom was gone.
She felt happy.
Careless.
Satisfied.
Everything was like it should be.
She was part of it now. Part of something more. Part of the Current that Dreams.
It had always been and would always be.
And she was now part of it.
Forever.
These thoughts came and went as little bubbles as the last remains of her humanity disappeared and she happily swam further into the embrace of the sea with all the other little insignificant sea dwellers around her.
