Kiku was a sea god. He stayed near a fishing village by the sea cliffs, watching them live their lives day in, day out in the peaceful village. But, someone new was in town, and that was a source of curiosity. He came closer, still under the water and invisible to humans. The man is led up the walk by a young girl. "You are lucky to have such a job. The lighthouse is a peaceful place, Mr. Karpusi."
"I am glad... I like peace and quiet..." Mr. Karpusi looks up at the lighthouse. "Thank you for taking me here." he says, looking back down at the girl. "You are welcome..." She answers, and smiles brightly. "Legend is the Sea God comes out at night... Maybe you'll be able to see him"
"Really...?" Mr. Karpusi looks towards the sea. "My home had a sea god... Maybe it is the same here..." The village girl nods, then unlocks the door to the lighthouse before handing the man the keys. "Your keys" She smiles. "Thank you" The man smiles slightly, then the girl leaves. He looks back towards the sea, then goes inside, closing the door behind him. Kiku looks up towards the lighthouse, then notices several cats gathering around its door. The door opens, and the cats go inside, then Kiku sees the silhouette of the man go up the stairs.
Later, Heracles Karpusi went down to the beach, a small boat made of bark in his hands. The boat contains a small candle, and two stuffed grape leaves (called "Dolmakia" in his home), and he sets it in the water, watching it drift out on the currents before going back inside. A few moments pass before Kiku resurfaces. He sees the items, then stares at them curiously before cautiously swimming up to them, reaching out and stopping the small boat. He picks up one of the Dolmakia, and unwraps the grape leaves, looking at what is inside and finding it quite strange. He touches it lightly before bringing it up to his mouth and taking a bite, blinking in surprise as the new taste explodes on his tongue. He swallows thoughtfully, deciding that he likes the food. He eats it carefully, yet graciously, hoping that the man called "Mr. Karpusi" would not attempt to poison and kill him with the delicious meal. He neatly folds the grape leaves and places them back in the small boat, then looks towards the lighthouse. As it's grown dark, a beam of light is now circling across the water, and Kiku decides to visit the lighthouse and get a better look at this new man. He rises, intricately patterned blue and white garments flowing as he does so. The waves crash against the shore as he gracefully gains his footing, and a wave comes up, pushing him up to the walk around the top of the lighthouse. The man is sitting at a table, writing in a notebook, and he looks up at the sound of the wave, his eyes widening when he sees Kiku.
A slight, soft smile graces Kiku's lips when the man sees him. He is quite pleased to see Mr. Karpusi up close, as he will admit that the man is not hard on the eyes, with messy brown hair wavy with curls that go every which way with one "fountain" shaped curl atop his head, which is rather unusual. The lightly tanned man has lovely teal eyes, a broad nose and a strong chin, the face of a god, and quite different compared to Kiku's smaller features. As the man stands up, it's easy to see how well built he is, his fluid movements speaking of strict physical training. Mr. Karpusi takes a cautious step forward, reaching a hand towards Kiku. "You... Aren't a dream...?" He asks quietly, seeming almost entranced by Kiku. Kiku's smile falls, his look becoming more curious. He slowly shakes his head. Mr. Karpusi puts his hand to his chest. "Heracles. My name is Heracles. What is yours?" Kiku tilts his head, and speaks softly. "I am Kiku..."
