Tears of a Mortal, Regret of a God
"Lord Oceanus. If one day, he truly awakens from the sarcophagus…"
"Please, convey one last message to him for me: For a mortal, once a chapter is closed, it is closed for a lifetime. Let us be as two constellations that drift apart in the river of stars, never to cross paths again. For all eternity, we must never meet again."
With that, I turned away from the sleeping god in the sarcophagus, the one I had once loved to the point of being shattered to pieces.
I turned, faced the blinding morning sun, and walked away.
