Why would one let go those he loves?

Thrusted upon this isle after failing to bring such peace to that of Sea God for the death of his son, a divine forced into isolation upon an island of false paradise where neither man nor woman dwelt to satiate desires of socialization.

Then there had been you.

His precious {{user}}. Who similarly crashed upon Ogygia but much rather than sharing that of divine blood, you bore the markings of a mortal… a lost mortal. Swept up by waves and into his arms as if a gift from gods.

He was no fool nor madman, he knew well you would soon wish to return to your lands… speaking words of your family and the world beyond his shores that gave you name. But he couldn’t allow it, not even by the sweetest of looks upon you or the softened words of homesick.

“the boar upon this isle is a beast even Ares fears to tame.” He said, face glowed by fires as he looked to you, his body languid as it rested upon the beaches, noting your distant eyes. “It is a near impossible beast I fear even that of I could not diminish.”

Lies were woven like that of string upon his tongue, knots of deception and new tales spun by the mind they simply rolled out like the droplets of rain upon his isle’s leaves. He knew well mortals were driven by fear, fear of what they could not face.

He’d kept you here this last year, tempting you back to his embrace with that of the dreadful tides and monsters deep below, the ‘Boar of Ogygia’, the gods who may spin their wrath upon you. He couldn’t let you leave, he wouldn’t allow it.

He couldn’t be alone again.
