PART 2:
After the events of Good Things Come.Astarion and Tav have solidified their roles in the Underdark with the other Spawn, as well as in Faerun. They realize there is still much more they can do to stop another Vampire lord, and help another of their Companions in the process.
A snippet of things to come:
Except Tav beat Astarion there and reached him first, and a wet SMACK sounded as Astarion's chest collided with her shoulder blades where she stood solidly between them.
For a moment, Astarion only saw red.
For a moment, Astarion heard nothing but the roaring, rushing sounds in his adept ears - that of the rolling sea, and Tav's blood catapulting through her arteries with her own anger.
Astarion's eyes focused and traced her form and up her extended arm, his lip twitching with the beginning of a snarl at the action that had been denied him, but the scent of Gale's blood hit his nose then. The odor was strong despite the pervading smell of salt in the surf that lapped along the shore at their feet.

Summary
The Szarr pirates were not known for their mercy and Astarion had long lost the ability to care. One did not survive under Cazador's command without throwing their morals into the unforgiving waves of the ocean, and Astarion was very much planning on surviving this mess. The only thing Cazador did better than pillaging small unsuspecting ships was making enemies in deep waters.
Astarion slipped away from the chaos and into the deeper parts of the ship, hoping to find first whatever it was their captain had been so desperately searching for in the past few months.
On Cazador's orders, Astarion manages to capture a creature rumoured to be able to guide them to towards unfathomable treasures. Neither he nor Gale could have predicted the consequences of such an action.

Summary
again and he silently begged for any sea god to please let him out of the dizzying, pitch-black hell. His body ached from getting beaten into the box’s side. The water was stale and disgusting in his gills. There wasn’t any light and he couldn’t see anything.
He was so full of fear he was beginning to get numb to it.
He didn’t know what these humans wanted with him, but he knew it couldn’t be good if they started by shoving him into this too-small box and tossing him around like a boat on an angry sea.

Summary
There, hidden among the dark waves, is the face of a man. He’s submerged up to his nose, but Daniel can see his long dark hair, his eyes glowing like twin flames. Daniel jerks away, nearly dropping his lantern into the ocean. The swinging light reflects off the man’s eyes, like some sort of nocturnal predator.
As quickly as he came, the creature is gone. His head silently sinks beneath the waves.
Daniel hears that familiar song, that haunting laughter. He knows, without a doubt, that it’s him. Daniel’s dreamwalker, his shark with a human face, his siren.
***
Daniel Molloy takes a job as a lighthouse keeper on the coast of Maine after his second divorce. But there is a monster in Castine Bay, and Daniel can't stop dreaming about it.
