Karkinos
the giant crab
The crab knew the odds. Heracles was already wrestling the Hydra, a man like weather, and Karkinos was a crab, even a giant one is still a crab. Hera said go, and the crab went, sideways, the only way it knew, and bit the heel of the strongest man alive. One bite. Then the heel came down. That was the whole battle, the whole life. But it went. Whatever else the stars keep up there, they keep this, the full weight of a small thing that showed up anyway.
Loyalty that costs you something is worth naming, and worth budgeting too.
