Pool of rebirth


 How many centuries had it been since Jose had found the pool of rebirth? 

Even he wasn't sure. He recalled crossing the ocean in a sailing ship, dreaming of a new world to conquer. And he recalled how the new world had nearly ended him, although the details were mercifully faded by time. 

Only the pool's miraculous waters had saved him, he knew. He'd plunged into crystal depths and emerged reborn with not just a health new body but with new memories, a whole new life.

He'd been so many different people down the years they'd begun to blur together so that now he couldn't be sure which memories belonged to what life.  Still, he returned to the pool every few decades, eager to dive  in and see who he would be when he surfaced.
