    Summary

    The coast is quiet.
    Salt and stone meet the sea, the air sharp with brine.
    Waves crash lazily against jagged rocks, gulls wheel overhead, and the villagers’ distant shouts drift faintly on the wind.
    Hermes walks among it all, unnoticed, a mortal guise hiding gold-dark skin and mischievous eyes.
    And then he sees him.
    Crocus, gathering fish and shells for a family he will not leave hungry, unaware of the god watching from the shore.
    It is meant to be ordinary. Peaceful.
    But Hermes does not do ordinary.
