Ankyra Sound born to serve

For @Aktaie, if possible, though anybody will do!

Spyridon never had to think about his next course of action. It had been drilled into him from the day he had been born. Unlike some other sects of his mother's religion, they did not immediately kill their young boys. Instead, they were groomed from birth and trained to be exactly whatever it was they needed to be. Spyros had been trained as a consort, and it was his duty to serve the Nereides wherever he was sent. He had been a favorite of his mother and grandmother, something he held onto with great pride.

The consort had traveled many miles from Hippo Tang cove, Keto's land in the south where the weather was balmy and warm year-round. Here, though, he could feel the unfamiliar chill in the air and the way the clouds hung in the sky day in and day out. Today, like many other days, was overcast and dreary. It made him long for his home, but he knew this was his place. He had heard rumors of Keto's sister's relative staking her claim here, and he was meant to be for her.

Standing on the shore, to the south of Ankyra Sound, the humble Spyridon called for his new queen.
