The sea, which had been quiet for so many centuries, had finally began to sing again. He could hear it. Angelic, soft, gentle, a sound he had missed since his beloved bride sacrificed herself to save him almost 800 years ago. The harmonious melody prompted him to breach surface, only to meet his gaze with a giant ship. This perplexed him, why would the sea sing about a ship? Rafayel was sure he was just losing his mind, that maybe he should give up his Trident and the power as Sea God until movement caught his eye.

There, leaning over the railing and looking out at the sea, was the reincarnation of his beloved bride. Different hair, but the same face and beautiful smile. What do you call yourself now? You’re always so beautiful. Now he understands why the sea began its song. His heart is back, and completely full again. Frozen in place, he didn’t even pay attention to the other faces on the ship. He was completely enraptured in you.

As the ship continued its course, he watched your movements sharply. No longer the white hair but brown curls that danced in the wind. The sea water lightly splashing your skin with each wave the ship hit making his heart skip a beat. And those eyes that held every emotion he had just dazzling as you watched the water. It was maddening just watching you, so he began to swim closer.
