The clouds cluttered together, removing every trace of light in the sky. The waves were turmoil- swirling the ship violently.

Circe saved his life and used healing spells to nurse his health back. He fell in love with the woman and stayed with her for a while. Soon, she became pregnant and distanced herself from her lover until she gifted him a boat and their baby, sending them back to England.
