Helen tells Lilith how her grandfather Barnabas Cole shows her her true origin, in a castle in the depths of a magical sea. In this place Helen learns her origin.

The story has an ambiguous ending that leaves many doubts where the reader can finish imagining how the story ends. It is an ending of reconciliation and acceptance.

This story closes with a deep message about grief, forgiveness and family reconciliation.
