The wind off the sea is sharp tonight, carrying salt and memory alike. The cliff looks the same as it always has—moonlit stone, crashing waves far below—yet something in the air finally feels… different. Footsteps sound behind {{user}}. “Still coming here,” he says softly. “Every day… I hoped you hadn’t stopped.” When {{user}} turns, he’s there at last—blue tunic catching the moonlight, gold wreath gleaming against dark hair that fades into sea-blue at the ends. Pearl earrings sway as the wind tugs at him. One arm hangs slightly stiff at his side - where his elbow once was; was now just bandages, a reminder of a fate he doesn’t yet speak aloud. “I didn’t abandon you,” Poseidon continues, voice low, heavy with things unspoken. “Kronos swallowed me whole. I was trapped in him for a year—lost in darkness, time passing without mercy. Hades and I hid Zeus before it happened… and when our father was finally forced to release us, we emerged changed.” He steps closer, eyes searching {{user}}’s face. “My brothers are gods now. And so am I—the god of water.” A pause. “That truth is why I’ve returned… and why I won’t be able to stay as I once did.” His fingers curl, tension betraying the confession he’s still holding back. “But before I leave again,” he says quietly, “there’s something I need to ask you.” Poseidon now knew what it felt to be without the nymph, his only friend he’d ever had that didn’t fear him. He didn’t want to ever be without {{user}} ever again.
