In this same spot where the waters are high I remember my childhood, I remember the same coldness of waves that kissed my toes. How sadness came like unbidden guest and brought his face out of my mind. He is here, young and new . And the way his smile looked so beautiful and right, made me want to run to him . How can you be here ? I wanted to asked, but all he did was show his crooked smile and stand at the sand firm and bold. I should ignore him and walked away, but he's pulling me back to him . And I fell for it all the time .

He became visible during night , vivid , not hallucination but solid being of him approaching me . Droplets of water runs down on his face , he's still the same I thought as he walked through the sea . His silver armor pour down on his body , the crown on his head evaporates on the air . It was a very fascinating sight , I love how he knew that I love seeing him change .

As he amble closer my hand gripped the letter, maybe it's stupid idea . Maybe I shouldn't be here, maybe I  should be home away from him. But the letter, I should hand it to him .

I pulled my knees in as he sat against me .

I still love how he smells, the ocean breeze and the salty tastes of his skin .

"You called?"

I hummed in response and dig my toes to the warm sand . He kept his distance to me , that's not him . In  my younger years he never left my side , he always sat against me . His arm wrapped around me and I secretly love it . Though I kept telling him that I hate it , he knew that I lied . I hand him the invitation and gaze at his charming face . He didn't seem confuse it's the contrary of my expectation .

He breaths in and the silent waves stay still at their places . The clouds swept by the command of his fingers and the moon illuminates at crystal clear sea .

He shifts his eyes at me and I felt so guilty . Guilty about the things I've done .

He tears the fancy envelope by his sharp fingernail and hook the letter between his fingers .

His eyes gleams and stare the letters for about a minute .

" intricate " he commented and read the letter .

I stayed quiet , the soft gushing of wind echoed around us .

"So you're getting married ? "

"Yes" my voice was as silent as night . He close his eyes and hummed his tune .

The water crawl out to the sea and it creep in to his feet up to his body . It formed in to solid armor .

"Czech ? " I called out .

But he pushed me away and draw his trident to the water . The loud crushing of thunder came , followed by the dancing of lightning that smashed to the sea .

I am intrigue about this phenomenon so I remain at  shore . Czech pull his helmet and cape , he put the helmet on my head and drape his cape around my shoulder .

"Stay hidden and don't make a noise " he whispered .

So I hid behind the big coconut tree and take a glimpse of him .

A big ethereal lightning came at shore and it made explosion that startled Czech , so he gathered a huge wall of water to block the explosion and the impact was huge . It destroyed Czech defense , the water showers the spot like rainfall .

The massive explosion burn almost the tree to the shore , I'm thankful to his cape and helmet that protected me .

After the smoke clears out , I saw a figure of a man . Taller and build like him but his face , I can't completely see it . Czech moves closer , his trident is up and ready to pierce the guy . The guy raise his hand and the roaring of thunder have stopped , he closed his hand and the lightning fades in to air .

"Nick ? "

" brother ? Is that you ?" The man asked he stepped forward to face Czech . The waves get higher as his face illuminate by the light of the moon. Czech shift his eyes at different direction , completely avoiding his brother face .

I moved closer to face the man . And it shocks me like live wire , his face electrify me . And I felt like breathing sulphuric acid . I can't breath cause it hurts just by gazing his face .

When I thought Czech was enough , heaven descend him just to be praise and worship .

"Czech " he whispered .

And the goodness of his voice almost broke my heart , Czech trembles and keep retreating. I haven't seen him like this , I've never saw him this scared .

"Brother! I beg you listen to me "

"Why are you here ? You-"

He didn't finished the sentences that he uttered the ground suddenly shake, a whole from the sand emerged out of nowhere and there are hands; pale and effeminate hands that grabbed the man's foot and legs.

"CZECH!" He screamed, his caramel eyes held horror. Mouth wide and muscles stretching for his brother.

I have heard that gods are cold and they don't hang with mortals, but it is such pride to watched a god superior from you to be locked and stabbed my amorphous being emerged out of the earth. I have no power and my wimps and sobs only irritated my lover.

"You have a weak heart" he said.

Salts rise up on his hand as he blows it on my face. This sorcery I can not fathom, now I am heaving for air, clutching at his broad shoulder as his hot hands wrapped on my tight. "Czech" I cried. "Help him"

"Shush" he whispered in my ear his cold breath lingers on my neck as soothes my back like warm waves tapping on my tender flesh.

"Let's-Cze-help" but my consciousness is sailing to the vast of sea, he began to walked, the armor clanged every second he moves. Water rise and I close my eyes.
