It is a myth that all salmon spawn in their original birthing grounds.
Most salmon, who had survived the arduous journey do return, but it is
a few that skew, and venture to unknown tributaries. This variation
that these few martyrs take is a preventative measure that saves the
salmon population from catastrophe. What these salmon find when they
reach a place not of their home may be bare, with less than ideal
rearing grounds, and even worse, the gamble that their heart had
chosen may leave them alone and withered, unable to complete life's
cycle. But if the brightest star shines upon it, and things just so
happen to be in the right place, two salmon, who made the same
difficult choices will find each other and thus finish their
revolution of life together. These selfless individuals, choosing that
the difficult path is not difficult enough, swimming blindly,
disregarding the road paved by their parents, all for the protection
of the greater population, come to a serendipitous conclusion and
create a new branch for their children to follow and a few unique
individuals to venture away from.
