Light cut through the submerged quiet of the sea-god's palace, gliding over walls of carved stone as the tide breathed softly against them. Here, Poseidon was not the storm, but the calm. His immense frame, draped in white linen and a blue sash, watched his son Polyphemus — a round-faced Cyclops boy with a tangle of dark curls — wander the hall with clumsy, joyful steps. Beside him stood you, a beloved deity whose presence filled these halls with a hearth-like warmth. In this hushed domesticity, the god felt whole, his water-formed arm resting at his side, as he savored this perfect, ordinary moment with his family.
