Ceyx+and+Alcyone

`Timmy, Livi, Kelli,Patience

Ceyx wanted to go onto a journey across the sea to consult an oracle, and his wife Alcyone wanted to come but Ceyx didnt want her to get hurt. Alcyone stayed at shore and when Ceyx was on the boat he was happy and glad that his wife was on shore but there was a storm at sea that killed everyone on the boat and everyone drowned. Alcyone waited over and over for her husband, but she never found him. Then Morpheus came because she would pray to Hera for her to protect her husband. Then Morpheus went into her dream and told her basically your husband is dead. Later on she seen his body wash up on shore and the gods felt bad for them and turned them both into sea birds. Every winter there is a week when the sea is perfectly calm. These are the days when Alcyone, the gannet bird, broods over her nest floating on the sea. Ceyx the kingfisher, a bright colored, crest headed bird is always nearby. And these days of perfect peace are named after her Alcyone or Halcyon days.

On the bed is Alcyone with Morpheus in her dream telling her her husband Ceyx is dead. In the window is her husband washed on shore dead and Alcyone is running after him
