The sea was a silent deadly killer where on the surface was calm but underneath the mask of calmness, lays dangerous storms and waves that could kill many across the earth. However, the humans also loved the sea and thus, this has made a certain young God of the Sea and Storm felt blessed to be the ruler of the sea. He watched over the vast ocean he loves for thousands of millennia.
In his many adventures to the humans land, he met a girl whose age are the same as his God age time. She did not fear him when he told her his identity and powers as the God of the Sea. He became friends with her; he often came to the cliffs where he first met her just to have fun. He shows her the beautiful wonders of the ocean and sea creatures. She loves the ocean as much as he did. He began to open up to her as her smile brightens his day. He wishes that it would last forever but he has forgotten she was a human and he is a god.
As time passes by, era changes, the sea slowly began to suffer. The sea does not shine like before. The sea was not the gentle blue he loves anymore. It was black and dark. He felt he would get lost underneath the ocean in the darkness.
Before his eyes, the sea creatures of many forms and the land animals that has been his dearest friends for the past millennia gradually dies dues to the polluted seas by the humans toxic wastes and dumps. Everywhere he went across the ocean, he found his dear friends floating dead.
One day, when he was searching for his dear sea friends, Usamaro, a snow-white rabbit that his dear brother, the God of the Moon Tsukuyomi often cherished when he comes onto the land for the Moon Viewing lays lifeless on the ground of the cliffs he and the human girl often goes.
His golden orbs widens as he approached the lifeless rabbit that has been his loyal friend, his lips, his hands trembles as he touched the dirty coat of the rabbit, "U..Usamaro…" he gathered the rabbit into his arms. He noticed trails of blood and black dirty water fell from the corner of the lifeless rabbit. He shifts his gaze to the shore where the rabbit often took sip of the water from the sea.
"Susano-kun….?" The human girl approached the young sea god. The moment she touched his trembling shoulder, strong winds blew straight to her, pushing her away from the god. "Susano-kun?!" she tried calling and going closer to the silent god but it failed. He straightened up as his golden eyes shines dangerously yet it was wide.
"Humans…are nothing but trashes…" he flew away from the cliffs along with the white dead rabbit in his arms, leaving the girl alone as stormy wind from the sea began to strengthened up, the sea waves began to hit the shore dangerously, destroying the cliffs, the sky grew darker.
"SUSANO!" she calls out but the gust of wind was far too strong that it destroys the houses, the trees, everything in its path. Her blue orbs widen in fear as she looked towards the sea where large waves forming up, taller than any building she has seen. The God of the Sea and Storm stood in the air as he looked down onto the earth. His orbs were empty, traces of tears at the corner of his eyes; angry blue light surrounds his body.
"Destroy every single living being." He spoke underneath his breathe as the stormy seas and waves began to storm towards the land, washing away everything. The girl who was on the cliffs, hang onto the trees for her dear life, as she tries her hardest calling out for the rampaging sea god but nothing came through.
"SUSANO, PLEASE STOP!" but her voices were brought away by the raging storms. The cliffs began to collapsed, she has nowhere to run, below her the raging sea floods everywhere she casted her gaze on. She prays to all Gods in the high heavens to stop the sea god but it was in vain when a thunder from the darkest part of the sky crashed onto the cliffs.
She lost her grips onto the trees as fell from the collapsing cliffs.
"SUSANOOO!"
It was only then, the rampaging God of the Sea realized what he has done when he heard the beloved human he cherished so much calls out for him. He shifts his gaze to where the source of the voice but it was too late; "SETSUNA!" he immediately flew towards where she has fallen into but he couldn't find her, the water was so dark he couldn't see through it.
"SETSUNA!" he calls out but quickly he puts a small shield around the lifeless rabbit as it floats back into the air, above from the raging storms as he dived into the raging sea, searching for the one who he has hold dear. His sea blue orbs frantically search for the human girl, the strong current was so strong that not even he could calm the sea down.
He could feel the chill down his spine when he saw her struggling to stay afloat but failed as she loses her strength in keeping afloat at such storms. She slowly sunk deep into the ocean. Being the God of Sea and Storm has its flow, he can breathe underwater longer than any humans can however the strength the ocean current has was beyond his.
It took him everything to swim towards the drowning human girl as she sank deeper into the sea, "SETSUNA!" he reached out for her and brought her towards him as he swam up to the surface where the raging storms still at work. He frantically tries to get a better view in the waves as he choked on the salty seawater. He summoned his shield as it forms an orb as it floats into the sky, away from the raging sea. He pants heavily but he quickly remembers the girl in his arms, he shook her shoulder, trying to wake her up.
The floating blue orb descends onto a piece of land that is still intact as it dispense into the stormy winds, "SETSUNA! PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES!" he begs as his tears began to fall. He tries giving her mouth-to-mouth oxygen transfer but it failed. No response, no movement, nor no sounds emits from her. His lips trembles in fear as he hugs her small body, "Please…I'm begging you…open your eyes…" his voice shook as he buries his face into the crook of her neck, "Please…"
"Setsuna…"
Warm gentle blue lights emits from the young Sea God body as it slowly trails towards the lifeless human girl. Her chest slowly heaved up and then back down. He opens his eyes, revealing an empty orbs, he looked at the one he loves, he gently cupped her soft wet cheeks, "Thank…good…ness…" he slowly collapsed onto the ground, side by side with the human girl.
The storms and seas have not stopped, as it went out of control destroying everything but the ground that holds the two bodies, a warm bright gentle light fills the entire sky from the heavens above, descends Zeus the Lord of the High Heavens and the ruler of the Mount Olympus. He held out his staff as the storms and the raging seas slowly die down, eventually replaced by calmness. He looked around as he furrowed. The damage was done and it was too much.
His golden orbs fall onto the two unconscious bodies that remain unharmed by the rampaging storms of the Sea God. He sighed as he descends upon the ground. He touched the forehead of the young god and then he shifts his gaze to the human girl next to him. He noticed the young god has his arms protectively wraps around the human.
Another God appears behind the almighty ruler of the Heavens, the ruler of the Hell, Hades who bows to him in respect, "I came to see what has happened on Earth when the hell gates was receiving far too many sinners today."
The darker male looked over the God of all Gods shoulder, noticing the familiar young God of the Sea who often became the topic of gossips among lower gods and goddess due to his short temper and brash. The young God was chosen to be the God of the Sea and Storms at a young age while the other young Gods were chosen when they were a little older. No one wants to become the God of the Sea, it was hard work, but the young boy seems to enjoy and loves the sea. Thus, Zeus thought he would be the best candidate for it; however, things went not as plan.
"He didn't do what I think he did…" Hades trails off. Zeus remains calm and silent as he stroke the young god lock away, "I have no choice but to seal him away deep under the ocean where no one will harm and antagonize him." He looked at the lifeless snow-white rabbit, which lies at the side on the ground. He saw what happened and he knows this child treasures all life forms more than any other Gods in Heavens do.
"He broke the one rule that I forbid all of the Heavens child do." He straightened up as he puts his staff into the air as golden orbs surround the young god.
The unconscious god body floats in the air as the golden orbs forms a cage of barrier around him, sealing his powers as the God of the Sea and Storms and erasing his memories of everything. The cage of barrier slowly sunk into the deepest depth of the ocean as the sea currents form a whirl of current, protecting any harm that might come to the ruler of the sea.
"What shall we do with the human girl?" Hades turns his gaze to the man behind him. Zeus looked at the unconscious girl, "She will return to her life like any normal humans would. However, I will erase all traces of Susano existence from her memories. However, I doubt this will keep her memories of him sealed away completely."
The God of the Underworld frowned, "Why not…?" Zeus shifts his gaze to the girl, "He gave his heart to her. Chronos." He summoned another god who immediately appears upon the call of his name. He kneels down in front of the almighty Zeus, "You have called?"
"Return the world to the time before all of this happened where the world has not been destroyed by the humans greed, where the land was still green , the sky was still clear and the sea was still crystal blue." He demands as the kneeling male who known as the God of Time, Chronos nodded his head, "Understood."
"Are you sure of this, Zeus?" Hades asked. Zeus remains silent as the time returns to where the Earth was still clean of humans' greed. "What happened today proven that no God can stand watching their beloved sea, land, animals, sky and earth destroys by greed. I myself as well felt the same way as Susano but what he did was unforgivable for any Heavens beings."
The two heavens gods understood what Zeus meant, "However, it will take a long time before Susano can be awaken once again. For now, let us watch what will unfold in the future. As for this human girl, her kind soul might help to save him from what will happen later in life."
The three looked at the girl that lies asleep on the green grass where time has been reverse. However, what Zeus meant was perplexing, what can a human girl do for a god who is mightier than a mere human is?
It was a few millennia years later; the Earth was still a beautiful and clean place to live. Humans have forgotten what had happened before when Susano, the God of Sea, and Storms went rampage, destroying half of the Earth lands and living creatures. Zeus, the ruler of the Heavens and the Mount Olympus has sealed the young god underneath the ocean within a raging barrier of the sea current, protecting the boy from harm and life forms that might come to him.
However, the golden cage of light that Zeus has sealed Susano in, might not be as strong they all think it would because one day the cage of light will be broken by the strings of fate that has fallen onto the God of the Sea.
La, la, la, la…la, la, la, la…la…la…la…la…la~~
The melodious voice resonates beautifully underneath the ocean. The sea current brought the singing voice of a human into the barriers of the currents. Each passing day, the voice sang and its melodious voice began to stir something from the ocean. The golden cage of light that was sealing the God of the Sea often weakened each time a sea current was disrupts by the silent stir from the inside of the cage.
The creatures of the sea began to gather, surrounding the cage of light where the ruler of the sea silently stirs in his deep slumber. The cage fades from time to time but it was not weak enough to let the sea god escape from his seal.
Zeus looked at the mirror before him as he rested his cheeks onto his palm, "After all, a God without a heart will search for the heart they once gave, no matter the consequences, which is why I sealed Susano away. His hatred towards humans is too strong that if he ever escaped from the seal, he might once again rampage and this time it won't be a mere tragedy that will fall upon the earth but to the balance of the Heavens and Hell."
His son, Apollo, the God of the Sun saddens at the terrible fate that has fallen onto his dear friend, Susano. It has been 10 millennia since he last met his friend but he knows as much as Zeus and Hades knows, that Susano was a god with a kind heart but was ostracize but the others due to his personalities.
"Is there no other way to help Susano, father?" he looked at his father who seems to be in a deep thought, Zeus sighed as he shifts his gaze to his beloved son, "No…"
Apollo frowned, "But father, Susano doesn't deserve any of this. I can understand why he wants to destroy the humans once and for all but to punish him for his entire life…I do not think that justify of his actions. He's a kind god who loves the living beings…he deserves a chance to live his lifetime out of the cage…"
"Apollo, how can a God without a heart rules over what he was in charge of? For all we know, he might destroy them the moment I take the seal off." His father tone drops as Apollo shoulder fell. He knows what his father have spoke is true. A God cannot be a God if they have lost their heart, moreover Susano has given his heart to a mere human. There is a chance that the pure heart of a God that was given to the human girl has been taint by malice of the world.
His amber orbs bore holes onto the white ground of the heavens, "How about the human girl he saved before, if her heart still pure from the world when she was reborn, would Susano be able to regain his freedom?"
His father face was unreadable, "Yes but do you know the result of returning his heart back to him?" Apollo was at least of words. His father sealed and erased his memories for a reason, if Susano were to attain back his heart he would not only retain his freedom and powers but he would attain his old memories of the human girl he fell in love with…
The price in return to get his heart back is big, far too big for anyone, not even the Gods in the Heavens to face.
The golden haired god shifts his gaze to the mirror where Susano seen caged inside his father light cage. He could notice the silent stir of the waves resides from the Sea God, which could only mean that, Susano unconsciously was trying to escape the seal and the slumber he were put into.

"Susano-kun"
"The ocean is beautiful isn't it, Susano-kun?"
"I do wish that one day; you will feel the happiness of being alive."
"Don't you ever sleep?"
"Here, try this. It's delicious!"
"Don't you love the ocean? It is so blue and it goes on and on. The sea breeze is cooling, the water is crystal clear, and it's so calm and peaceful."
"Whether you're a God or not, we're still friends for life!"
"I wish this would last forever…"
"SUSANOO!"
.
.
"Humans are nothing but trash."
The tremors from the cage of lights strengthened as slight movements emits from the God of the Sea who was still deep in slumber. The sea current began to disrupt even worst as the creatures of the sea began to leave the area in fear of what was emitting from the cage. The calm ocean began to stir ferociously from disrupted sea currents below the surface. Dark blue light began to form around the body of the Sea God as the light glow brighter and brighter, blinding the sea creatures with its light as strong currents went out of control.
"Ojou-sama! It's dangerous there. Please come back here at once!" the taller man in a butler outfit carefully steps onto the cliff, as he slowly approached his young mistress who dances as she hummed a beautiful gentle melody.
She twirled as her long locks brushed gently against the sea breeze, "La, la,la, la, la, la, la…" her sea blue orbs that matches the northern seas looked at the sea lovingly as she twirled around, not noticing she was nearing the edge of the cliff.
Her orbs widens the moment she slipped off the rocky cliff, "OJOU-SAMA!" the butler shouted.
"Eh…?" she fell into the sea. She tries to get to the surface but fails as the sea waves kept hitting her, she chocked on the salty sea water but her strength slowly fades as her vision began to darken, "Someone…please…save…me…"
The Gods in the High Heavens sensed the immense danger from the Earth below. Zeus waved his staff in the air as the mirror shows the underneath of the ocean where the seal of the cage has vanished completely into the waters. The God of the Sea and Storms were nowhere in sight.
'Who is it…?' she could feel strong cold hands holding her shoulder firmly yet carefully. She couldn't find the strength to open her eyes to see who it was. She felt her body were carried carefully like a porcelain doll that might break.
.
.
"I'm Susano, the God of the Sea, and Storm."
"For some reason, the ocean felt much more beautiful these days."
"Thank you, for being my friend."
"SETSUNA!"
.
.
Her eyelids flew opens wide as she pants slightly, she looked around the large room, "Setsuna Ojou-sama, I'm glad you're finally awake." Her butler, Totsuka sighed in relieved as he stood up from the chair he sat on. He helped the young mistress of his to get up as he stuffed two pillows behind her. Her orbs travel the room, searching for someone.
"What happened…?" her voice felt hoarse.
"You fell off the cliff. We spent hours searching for you. The master is on his way back to Japan as we speak." He pours a glass of water for her. She sipped in feeling the salty seawater still glued to her tongue.
"How did you found me?" she gave the glass to the butler. Totsuka sat down, "We found you on the shore just a few kilometers away from here. You were fortunate that you were wash ashore instead of drowning down under. However, we had to postpone our search for you due to the stormy seas, which was very unusual…"he trails off. She shift her gaze to the outside of her windows, the sea was still stormy. She held her shoulder where she felt that cold hands,' I wonder whose hands was that…? It was so cold…' she furrowed when she heard the sound of the waves hitting the rocky cliffs nearby the mansion.
'Why is the sea like this…?'
…
Trails of footsteps on the sand washed away by the sea waves. A dark silhouette of a teen wobbles at each step he took. He remained expressionless despite the injuries his body had suffered from the rocky cliffs earlier, his golden orbs were empty, and his locks coated with dirty sands. He did not know where to go or what to do as his foot kept walking and walking along the shores.
.
"Susano-kun"
.
He abruptly halted; he turns his gaze towards the stormy seas as his orbs stares at the vast ocean, "Who…?" his eyelids slowly shut close as he collapsed to the side onto the sand.
.
"I love you, Susano-kun"
