[ And just inside the cave, barely that far in at all, is Megami at last.
He's curled up against the stone wall, in his human form after all with his legs pressed as tightly against his chest as he can get them to. He's clutching something close to his chest and his head is lowered as he sobs.
But that's not the concerning thing.
For starters the shell crown that Megami loved so much is missing. In its place is nothing not even his old laurel. But that's nothing compared to the burn marks that crisscross over his body. His arms, his legs, his wrists, his neck... just all these red line marks that seem too well placed to be accidental. Even his toga seems dirty and torn up in places connecting with the lines. There's also some kind of dark bruise where his neck meets his shoulder, purple and red. Though Poseidon might not get that much of a good luck at it, because as soon as Megami hears him and realizes he's here, one of his hands shoots up to cover it as he looks up at his beloved with wide, fearful eyes that are still puffy from so much crying.
Even after realizing who it is his thin frame doesn't stop shaking. If anything it gets worse. ]
