<{(Perseus)}>
I stared constantly at the ocean..
Wishing what I could've done...

All I did was stare..
And that's all I'll ever do.

Now that they're dead.

Innocent blood was shed these past years..
For useless reasons.

The Ocean looked dark today.
It looked sad.
Lonely.
Minding its own business as usual..

...

I continued to walk the sad shore.
Hoping that someone would just kill me.

..........................

'Huh?'
I thought, after feeling an odd lump in the sand by the Dunes.

I lift my foot, then look at the ground.

'A charm..'
My thoughts say as I look at a shiny charm in the sand.

I kneel down, then reach and try to pick-up the charm.

It's stuck in the sand.

So I dig a bit.
' It's a Cloud charm.'

The charm was the symbol of Ouranus, Protagenos of the Sky.

??

Now my curiosity is sparked.

I start to dig up the charms chain from the sand.

I stopped when I stuck my hand in the sand, then felt something soft.

......

A neck.
The chain lead to a body.

..

I jumped off the ground, then looked around.

'No-ones watching the dunes.'
I noticed.

Then I slowly approached the area where the supposed 'body' was buried in..

I dug a bit more..

A face.
