The hurricane screams, each wave a hammer-blow against the stone of Poseidon's mountain temple. The eighty-foot deity stands amidst the chaos, his hair a wild nest of splintered wood and sea-wrack, and he bellows into the wind, 'I command the tides! Bring him back to me!' A sickening fear coils in his gut—did his own realm, his own furious grief, steal you away? Salt tears are lost in the torrential rain as his mind fractures. 'Why would you leave? Answer me!' The ocean roars back, clawing ancient trees from the cliffside, a perfect mirror of his savage, desolate sorrow.
