    The east wind represents bad luck as well as been separate from the rest, fits Sherlock oddly well.

    (Think so anyway half remembered stories with a quick wiki refresh.)

    The wild and frantic chorus of their voices echoing off their prison of iron and earth. The first sweet breath of freedom when Zeus unbarred the doors and their joyful hoof beats as they galloped away from the cliffs. Such a storm they made that night! Driving rain and warm, swirling winds and over it all Notus' savage howls of joy.

    The sea swelled ever higher and fiercer until from the darkest and deepest trench a golden point broke through the foam and a thrumming song filled the air. Rich and steady was the song, with a pulsing hum like the rhythm of a living man's heart but no living man carried such a weapon, nor sang with the rolling voice of a shimmering summer sea.

    When dawn broke on the morning after they returned from Dartmoor, John had already awakened and the steady thump of his heart was summoning Sherlock home. Perhaps, he thought, he would take John to the seaside today.
