As the sun dipped below the horizon, the sky over Ogygia was a canvas of molten gold and deepening purples, casting a melancholy glow over the secluded island. Calypso stood on the edge of a cliff, her gaze fixed on the setting sun, her heart a heavy weight in her chest.

The warm hues of twilight spread across the heavens, a breathtaking view that once might have filled her with wonder. Now, the colors seemed to mock her, a reminder of the endless cycle she was bound to. She clenched her hands around the edge of the stone balustrade, feeling the coolness of the marble beneath her fingers—a stark contrast to the burning ball of fire sinking into the sea.

“It is always the same,” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, carrying on the gentle sea breeze. “A thousand years, and yet the sunset remains unchanged. The promise of dawn, followed by another endless day.”

Her eyes, once vibrant with the allure of youth and possibility, were now shadowed by centuries of solitude. The laughter and conversations of those long past seemed like distant echoes, fading further into the abyss of her memory. She closed her eyes, letting the breeze ruffle her hair, but it did little to soothe the gnawing dread that had become her constant companion.
