Poseidon: The Greek Myth

Poseidon is a good guy, especially compared to his brothers. Hades isn’t exactly a crowd favorite and Zeus isn’t so bad, but most would prefer to be around Poseidon. Ask anyone who the nicest of the brothers is and this is what they would tell you. Ask me and I could give you thousands of reasons why Poseidon is the worst. I’m Nate, one of Poseidon’s sons. I know what you’re thinking. Nate? Seems like a pretty boring name for the son of one of the most powerful Gods, right? Well I am pretty boring guy, so it fits me. Gods like Poseidon often have many children, but most are just demigods, half-God and half-mortal. Unlike my brothers and sister, I am a true God. Son of Poseidon, God of the sea and Hymenaois, Goddess of marriage

I arrived and immediately thought I had made a mistake and should leave. There was seaweed covering the entrance and jagged rocks all around. All you could see behind the seaweed curtain was black. Not exactly somewhere I wanted to venture into, especially since I had no means to protect myself. The current changed and I was pushed through the seaweed, into the cave. “No turning back now,” I said to myself. I slowly made my way through the black cave, when I suddenly heard a voice. “Who enters my cave? The seaweed was there to keep you out!” called a voice from inside the cave. “I am Nate,“ I said. “I just wanted to ask you a few questions about your journey to find your talent.” “Nobody’s ever come looking for information like that,” said the voice, “but I suppose you may enter.” I took that as my cue to keep moving forward, and eventually began to see a light in the distance. My pace quickened, anxious to get out of the dark. Finally, I came to a light space with a door that reads “Enter at your own risk”. Thinking I didn’t really have much to lose now that I’d come this far, I pushed the door open. Behind the door is a dimly lighted space with a chair facing away from me, a glass ball, and rows upon rows of books. Spinning the chair around, Fosop turn to face me. “How can I help you,” says the weary-looking, wrinkled

“What is this?” screams Oplo. “I don’t know but we need to get out of it!” I reply. “There is no escaping, this is your monster and you must destroy it or you will become part of it,” boomed a voice from above. Realizing that this is what I need to destroy, I think about how to get rid of this crazy monster. Without warning, the cloud shrinks into a small but lethal-looking animal. I step forward and jab at it, then it grows until it has tripled in size. I take another step forward and it becomes a cloud again. I think as hard as I can to try and figure out how to get rid of it. I think about Nereus and wonder how he did it. I suddenly feel the power surge through me and can instantly tell that something is different about me. I lunge at the white cloud and the part I touched disappears. “Did you see that?” I yell to Oplo. “Yeah! Do it again!” he says. I try again, but this time the cloud turned back into a small animal. I lunge again, and this time I touch a limb and it falls off. I try to strike again and it turns into the bigger animal again. I go right for the stomach, trying to damage a larger part. I make contact, and put a hole right through its belly. I try to hit the head, but it turns back to a cloud. I try again but this time I miss by a mile and the cloud grows. “Hurry,” says Oplo. “You need to hit it again before it grows more!” he says. I throw my entire body into a cloud and
