Weekly Constellation

Seapyth Circinus retells the exciting adventures of Seapyth, a Witch known across dozens of kingdoms for his navigation of the oceans. Born during the reign of Queen Gorgo, Seapyth was a necessity in saving hundreds of Ἑκάτη denizins. This was a time focused on conquering distant lands in an attempt to mitigate any thoughts of war among other empires. Seapyth and his αγώγη were sent to train on a ship sailing across the seas in the hopes of discovering new islands. While on the voyage, Seapyth fell into the ocean. Under the briny waves, he heard a voice and a mantra was whispered into his ears. He immediately recited the incantation. His eyes sparked and he watched in awe as the ocean lit up around him. He could see the bottom of the ocean, which was relatively close at the time, and even a few kilometers in all directions. After Seapyth was pulled out of the water, he told his crewmates what he had seen. They congratulated him on finding his magick and celebrated when they returned home. Unfortunately, the Witches would soon be forced to flee their homeland and the joys they created within it. Fifty years after Seapyth was made a captain, he was tasked by Queen Gorgo to lead the surviving Witches to a new land. They sailed for nearly a year before spotting any semblance of a new island. However, a storm ravaged them as they neared the shore. Their line of sight was broken by thick snow and lightning. With this in mind, Seapyth grasped a nearby rope and leapt from the ship. Underneath the water, he said his mantra and looked in horror as dozens of rocks shot out from the water in front of him. He yelled to his crew and they safely navigated the waters. It was because of him and his crew that so few died on the voyage. Sadly, the prolonged cold harmed Seapyth for a lifetime. His feet were especially impacted, but it soon spread to the rest of his body. He died two years after their immigration to the island and was honored with a burial on a makeshift shield for his valor. At the procession, Aeacus called out to his constellation and gave him a tearful name.
