Luminescent eyes watch, hidden by a rocky outcrop as a violent storm churned over the northern Pacific, lighting streaking across the sky in purple arcs the large waves slamming against a small caïque; for what it was worth, the vessel was doing remarkably well despite the odds--the man sailing the ship knew what he was doing.

However, that wasn't enough for the raging tides, as a particularly large wave capsized the vessel--tossing the man overboard as he was pulled beneath the waves. In any other scenario, Morax would have left the unfortunate soul to perish--he wasn't the first, and he wouldn't be the last, however, this human drew him from the depths of his home. His soul--a familiar energy, one he hadn't felt in millennia.

( could it truly be? )

Morax dove into the sea, swimming towards the unconscious sailor as he sunk deeper, and deeper. His deadened heart soaring, as laid eyes upon the man.

( It was him ).

Wrapping his arms around the other did he swim towards the surface ( a golden sigil and geometric patterns gleamed upon Osial's torso before fading as fast as it had appeared ), a silent command given--the storm stopping as the sky cleared, the waters flipping the ship upright; once again bobbing upon the calm blue.

The god laid, the sailor upon the deck of the ship--willing the water away from his lungs, gentle fingers brushing loose black strands away from his face. He was beautiful.

Golden eyes widen as he began to stir, hoisting himself over the edge. With one final glance, towards the one he had saved--did Morax vanish beneath the waves with a shimmering flash of onyx and golden scales.

This wouldn't be the last the fisherman had seen of him, just how long had he waited for this day to come?
