The Sailor and the Twins
As Hesjing formed the seas, they flowed with unrelenting might. Thrae's winds struck and scattered the water, creating waves that grew taller and taller. With every hit crashing down, the force of the waves cracked even Edar's solid stone. In their shared wisdom, through a union of Hesjing and Thrae, the Twin Goddesses were born. Bathys, the Lady of the Deep, emerged first from the darkest depths of the ocean. Her hair was as dark as the abyss, her eyes reflecting its hidden mysteries. She commanded the currents of the deep, bringing order to the chaotic waters below the surface. Her sister, Kymathys, Lady of the Waves, followed, rising from the crest of the tallest wave. Her hair flowed like seaweed in the tide, her eyes the color of the clearest blue sky. She danced upon the waves, her presence guiding the storms and the tides. The calm waters of Bathys were where the slow and steady plants settled, growing in peace. Yet there were some that braved the turbulent surface. The turbulent waters of Kymathys were where the fast and nimble fish settled, hunting and growing. Yet there were some that hid in the calm abyss. One stormy night, as Kymathys danced upon the waves and Bathys watched from the deep, the passionate dance made a terrible tempest tear through the sky and sea. A lone ship, carrying a brave sailor, was caught in the storm’s fury. The ship was dashed against the rocks, and the sailor, fighting to stay afloat, called out to the gods for mercy. Hearing his plea, Kymathys appeared before him, slowing her dance, and piercing through the dark storm. With a gentle touch, she lifted the sailor from the raging waters and brought him to a secluded, serene beach where she nursed him back to health. As the sailor recovered, he marveled at the beauty and power of his savior. He was entranced by Kymathys' beautiful dance, watching as her calm steps maintained the rhythm of the waves that lapped at the beach. He spent his days watching, learning about the Twin Goddesses and their dominion over the water. Kymathys, too, found herself drawn to the sailor’s courage and kind heart. They spent countless hours together, and their bond grew into a deep and abiding love. Their peace was shattered when a dark force, jealous of their love and the harmony the Twin Goddesses brought to the sea, rose from the depths below even Bathys. This malevolent being sought to plunge the world back into chaos, shattering the calm the Goddesses had created. Monstrous waves and terrible storms, driven by this dark entity’s rage struck far onto the land. The Twin Goddesses knew they had to protect the world they had come to love. Bathys commanded the deep currents, with the plants holding on tight, while Kymathys jumped from wave to wave, her fish pushing back as hard as they could, calming the surface waters. The sailor, though mortal, refused to leave their side. With his unwavering devotion, the Goddesses battled the dark force in a fierce confrontation. The brave sailor rammed his ship against the entity and jumped in through the wound it created, defeating it from within. Together they had defeated the dark entity, restoring peace to the sea and the coastal lands. But the brave sailor had no power left to escape. Kymathys was heartbroken as she watched the entity's lifeless body sink deeper and deeper. Bathys, seeing her sister's pain, sealed the entity away, vowing to forevermore protect the sailor's resting place. To mark his grave, she recreated that beautiful serene beach, to remind him of Kymathys, even in the furthest depths of the deepest abyss.
