The waves of ambrosia held the secrets of our love. Stern and remorseless she hid them away in a trove fathoms deeper than any man might go. Protected by a beast with no name, for not a word man can pronounce could procure its true ferocity in language. Once a seagull larger than mans greed galloped across tenuous tides and dove deeper than any creature dare venture. Encountering the fabled beast hypnotizing its 12 heads with its speed unmatched; using its tremendous beak to peck the eyes from each gory socket It dispatched the foul beast. Diving deeper it came upon the trove, in a hallowed cave deeper than any man can trespass. With one mighty swallow it absconded with my love. Leaving in its wake the casing for my heart, swimming from this ancient rampart, and into the sky with my lost love.

Thanks for the read. I wish I had had a few more lines to expound on the story, and elaborate more. But it was a fun prompt and made me think in a new way. Thank you very much for my trophy.
