“Welcome, landlubbers! Welcome to The Room by the Sea!” a small wooden sign says posted in the smooth sand of the beach. Waves slowly crash in the distance and the smell of brine mixes with the black, rich smoke of a grand bonfire. The sun seems to be stuck setting in the sky, casting red and orange waves against a cloudless blue sky. The sand borders the water in a crescent shape. Far from the welcoming sign, the sand turns into rocks and elevates to form a peak that hovers over the ocean like a balcony. A large statue of Poseidon stands at the top, looking over the sea. Circumscribed around the beach is a large, rolling field of green grass. Horses roam the fields nonchalantly munching on grass before galloping away.
A roadway of sand awkwardly cuts through the sea, leading to one peculiar, flat rock that cracks through the ocean’s surface. A magisterial throne created of two large curved seashells adorned with pearls and other seashells lies on the rock. A fish head made of rock releases a stream of water into the bottom of the seashell that already holds enough crystal clear water to constitute a whole pool. An old, fish-tailed deity sits in the middle of the pool. One of his strong arms was wrapped around the shoulders of Amphitrite, his wife and a nereid. His other hand had a mighty grip on a glimmering gold trident. To some, it would seem that he was more protective of his trident than his own wife. It was his crowning jewel, after all. His closest cohorts join him in the pool for laughter and fun. One half-dolphin woman holds many scrolls of the various news of the sea. One man stands to his Amatheia’s side, bearing great resemblance to her and the deity. Another nereid stands majestically by the others.
Other nereids sit upon comforting rocks. Fish stay close to the surface and dolphins trace lines with their fin. The whole place is warm and calming while a soft breeze brushes the shore. Join in on the fun. Welcome to Poseidon’s room. Welcome to the Room by the Sea.
