Calypso was standing on the beach when the storm began. The sky had been cloudy all afternoon. First, the clouds were light and hazy and the same pale grayish-white color as the sand on Ogygia Beach but they grew darker and heavier as the day came to a close. Massive, white capped waves crashed against the rocks, sending up huge busts of spray.
Ogygia Beach ran along the small, tear-drop shaped cove which was the only safe place on the island to land a boat.
It was over shadowed by terraced cliffs of volcanic stone.Calypso had noticed a funnel of soot grey clouds looming off in the distance. There was a flash of lightning, a clap of thunder, then it began to rain.
Over the cliffs which encircled the beach, Calypso could see a ship being tossed around by mammoth waves which seemed to engulf the helpless vessels.
She ran as fast as her bare feet could take her to find her mother and aunt.
The cliffs and dunes of Ogygia had been bleached bone white by the sun and shaped into unusual formations by the wind and waves over the centuries.
