Though lovers be lost love shall not.

Once upon a time there was forlorn boy by the Sea
Who never had a friend or sibling
To call his own. But one day, after his plea
To the King of the Sea went unanswered once more,
Unable to withstand his loneliness any longer,
He decided to venture to the land whispered in folklore.

There he traveled the forests and mountains
In search of a companion to fill the void in his
Heart. His departure angered the King of the Sea,
who felt all under his reign must abide by his strict
Code of Solitude. But as the King was unwilling
To leave his place of comfort, he was settled to never see
His wayward subject ever again. With passing
time, little was remembered of the once forlorn
Boy, until he returned of his own accord with his very own
Companion in tow exactly like he had always desired.

The King was no longer the brightest sun to the once
Forlorn boy. In the time he had been away, the boy became
Content and independent with the help of his companion.
The boy who had once been shunned now was regarded as an emblem
Of joy and splendor, inspiring others to dare explore the foreign
lands beyond the Sea. In the end, the only lonely soul in the Kingdom
Of the Sea was the adamant King, alone and pitied by his past subjects.
