Why The Sky Is Blue

#The Sea Prince and the Sky Goddess [Why The Sky Is Blue]

Truthfully, what is the soul of the sea without the soul of the sky? The Sea Prince, Neptune, had often pondered this question. He ruled the liquid domains, filled with mysteries deep and creatures exotic. But, every day after sunset, his eyes would dart towards the heavens, where the Blue Sky was his beacon, guiding him to his heart's desire—Skyia, the Sky Goddess.

Skyia, she of the cerulean eyes reflecting the endless expanse of the horizon, fascinated Neptune endlessly. She wore a robe of light blue, with her dark hair cascading like a starless night. Beauty incarnate, she wore the entire pantheon of celestial bodies in her gaze as if they were mere trinkets.

Neptune and Skyia were lovers, bound by the eternal romantic dance of the sea and the sky. Whispered phrases of love that divided the silence of the night were a routine. He would confide in her about his daunting role under the waves and the enormous pressure he bore, while she would share wonders about the limitless reach of her vaulted expanse. Their listeners, the stars, would gaze down silently, their twinkling, a mark of their silent approval.

Yet, they were divided by the boundaries of their realms. Neptune was bound to the sea, and Skyia to her sky; the horizon marking the impassable divide. But, Neptune was relentless. The Blue Sky each day after sunset signaled him. It was her divine call—a promise of a clandestine meeting, a flicker of hope in his aquatic world.

One day, determined, he vowed to break the barriers and join Skyia. He beseeched the Sea Gods, his subjects, to churn the waters with all their might. Neptune's wish was their command. The sea churned, and from its foam emerged a giant water spout, a column of swirling water so colossal it made the towering waves seem like mere ripples.

This towering vortex was Neptune's vehicle. It carried him towards Skyia, leaving whirlpools of anticipation in its wake. Riding the spray, Neptune finally touched the sky, their realms merging for a moment. They were one, the Sea Prince and his Sky Goddess. Their love, no longer abstract, was solid, precise.

Day after day, this cycle became a spectacle. The romance between Neptune and Skyia—conducted high above the horizon, in the tingling touch of the sky and the spray of the sea—had become a piece of celestial lore. Seamen would gaze at the horizon, spinning stories of their love; star-crossed lovers united at last.

However, the Blue Sky was not just a beacon. It had another purpose; a cherished gift from Skyia to Neptune. It reminded him that even when they were apart, in their respective realms, a piece of her was always with him. The color of the day sky was Skyia's reminiscent hue, a color that the waters of the sea mirrored, encapsulating her love within his reign. Thus, the blue became their eternal symbol, their incessant guide— uniting and reminding them of their love.

And so, the Sea Prince and the Sky Goddess continue to thrive - their exceptional love reminding those who come across it of its depth and boundlessness, just like the sea and the sky it entwines.
