The pods opened, one by one at first, then ten by ten until the Silence was broken. And what a welcome break it was. People shouted just for the pure joy of using their vocal chords once again. Howls and song, lilting voices and screeches all rose to the sky in a most joyous roar. They danced and laughed. One Faun was so caught up in it, he hoisted a merman up and swung him around.
When at last the Silence had been checked so that they were sure no one had been forgotten, they made for the sea.
