William knew of the sea , it was angry . So ,so angry . It raged in big waves , tumbling down and crashing against the shore , many people died at sea when the sea was angry
And only those who truly believed would know it was naus who was making it this way
But where William was now , nobody belived in anything other than their one god , pirates were barely sited and if they were they were sent straight to the gallows
William frowned deeper as a harsh wave crashed against the shore once again , hitting up against the brick walls that blocked the oceans anger away
" shhhh , shhh ", William whispers sadly , reaching a hand down and grasping at the water as it crashed against the bricks he sat upon , a shell playing between his fingers
The sky was dark as could be despite the daylight and it seemed to bring everyone down
It was supposed to be coming into spring , but everyone's hopes seemed to dwindle down as less sun seemed to shine as every day passed over the years
Will was an apprentice now at 16, hair shorter than usual but he still had a few hairs brushing over his forehead while he looked down at the troubled sea
" calm , calm , shhhh", William whispers soothingly , and he has to reach up quickly to wipe under his eyes , hand clenching into a fist to hold onto the only shell he had left of Naus that little bit tighter
" tell him I'm safe ", he says to the raging waters as they crashed against the shore loudly , brining the shell to his lips with a shaky fist " tell him I'm alive ", he brushes his other hand into the water as it rises
He dips his clenched fist into the water , a single tear falling from his eye " tell him everything ", he whispers , brining his hand back up to his lips and opening his fist to place a kiss to the sea shell " tell Naus I'm here, that I miss him", he says shakily before dropping the shell into the sea
Will gets his response a year later , a storm that raged against englands shore that brought shells and pearls in and left them there
It was one of the only storms as spring started to settle back in , sun actually shining that year for the first time in a while
But there was no Naus to be seen
And will was stuck with a lump in his throat , collecting as many shells and pearls , charms and beads that he possibly could to take home into the small broken down room he lived in
He was a good blacksmith
It was odd to think about at 17 , he wouldn't of thought this would be where he was or what he was thinking at 11
At 11 , the only thing he wanted to be was married to Naus
He didn't know of any carrier he wanted , but he had assumed nausithous would take him with him on his many trips and he'd be able to travel the seas
Nausithous never left will's mind , but it was hard to hang onto his memory when he hadn't had one since he was so young
He only gets glimpses the older he grew up
Fleeting moments of dark bare skin , defined muscles and his pretty white teeth . He'd hear his voice sometimes echoing in the back of his mind , soft amused laughter with braids dangling down , charms and pearls sparkling as the sun glinted off of them .
The only thing will can fully remember of him were his eyes . They weren't like any other he'd ever seen , crystal blue that seemed to roll over in waves that crashed over inside of them .
The glimpses of Naus were all he could hang onto , the fleeting flashes of his childhood memories .
Will had only one person he seemed to have as a friend in England , Elizabeth swan
