myth (max 500 words) / art; It had been many years since sailors had been able to navigate the seas. They were troubled, with angry, foamy waves and a howling wind that threatened to rip a sailor's cap right from their head. They had tried for the past decade without success, attempting to move from one land to another, desperate to see their families, to find new land, or simply to get away from whatever they were leaving back at home. Many dreams were crushed by this sudden turn of the tides, the unpredictability of the sea that they ironically named Serenity, the Lady of the Waves.
No man had met her until three years prior, when a crew set sail upon one of the biggest ships ever made, in hopes that it would have the strength to face the sea's fury. They had made the calculations, charted the sea, and had hired some of the most talented crew members ever to set sail upon this ocean. But once they were far out, too far to turn back and return, it hit - she hit. Waves crashed upon the sides of the boat like battering rams, rocking it from side to side, throwing its crew around and scattering their supplies. The Captain yelled for the crew to retreat below deck, but the ship had began to flood already. They had only one choice, now - to pray and hope that they would be heard by something, someone out there. They kneeled upon the ship's deck and, eyes raised to the dark, angry sky, they prayed.
At first, nothing happened, the Captain and his sailors flung about like dolls by the sea's wrath. They did not stop their prayers. Their voices reached a crescendo in their volume, and suddenly, all went quiet, the sea dead and motionless, the wind nothing but a quiet, gentle breeze. A few moments later, they heard a soft bubbling just at the side of their ship. "Sailors, find out what that noise is!" wheezed their exhausted Captain. And so they sought out the edge of the ship, being met with an ethereal, turquoise glow edged with white. From it rose a figure, a lady wearing a long, turquoise braid in her hair. She was tall and slender, with a kind smile and soft eyes, wearing a long, flowy gown, wettened by the waves - her hair itself seemed much like seaweed in its appearance, though it made her no less beautiful.
"Who are you?" the First Mate asked, for the rest were stunned into silence. "Did you condemn our ship?"
The lady laughed melodically, still hovering just slightly over the deck of their ship, clasping her hands before her waist. "No, not at all. In fact, I saved you from her. I am Serenity, the saviour of all men at sea. Turn back now, and take this as a warning... for if you face my other half, you may not be so lucky again."
