Damn Aphrodite and Poseidon, Those traitorous gods but I feel they were not acting alone. This seems like the type of scheme Athena of Hera would pull. How dare they strip me of my powers and switch my gender. Screw them, just because they thought I was failing on my duties doesn't mean they have the right to do this. I am Zeus, king of the gods. How dare they do such a thing?
I knew they council was planning something… but I thought it was the golden net again. No…They just had to take it a step further. Luckily I still have some control of my domain, about the level of a demigod.
I wander through New York City. Every building looks the same, and I am utterly lost. Damn, I don't even have any mortal money much less a weapon. How do they expect me to do anything? Damn you all. You will pay for this humiliation once I return to my throne.
Entering an alleyway to find a group of men. The mist veiled their faces but looking closely, they had one eye. The men were cyclops. Upon seeing me, the walked toward me. The leader kept a filthy, crooked smile. His size compared to the other, varied drastically. He stood at least a foot taller than the rest.
"Look at what we found, a stray demigod… how delicious she looks, my mouth is watering,"
"Shit… "I said.
I have to get out of here, quickly. Willing my domain, lighting crackled around my hands. I hit the lead one with a bolt. And I ran out of there. I know I cannot win, so I rather survive. Really why do other think I am an unintelligent god, I gave birth to Athena didn't I?
As I rounded the corner, I hit something hard. I feel back on my rear. It was a cyclops. Ha… so I was screwed the moment I entered here. This is the hunting grounds of a large group of cyclops. The large cyclops and his group caught up. All escape route were blocked. The cyclops lunged forward, grabbing me by the neck.
"Troublesome prey… but I do like them feisty, they have the best meat," said the leader.
"Hah… troublesome you say, of course I am but I am not going out without a fight." I said
Calming my mind and my erratic heart, concentrated all my energy into a single bolt. Thunder cracked as the leader, got hit with a massive wave of electricity. I expected him to fall and let me go but his reaction turned out to be the opposite, he clenched my neck tighter, slamming me against the wall. Punched me in the gut. The wind was knocked out of me. He released his grip. I fell harshly, scrapping my elbow. I gasped for a breath, my throat contracted. I could not breathe. Consciousness slipped my mind, my eyes wouldn't stay open.
The leader reach out for me but stopped by a gushing stream of water. A dark haired boy entered the fray wielding a short golden sword. He commanded the water to his will, beating back the cyclops. He picked me up bridal style, sprinting out the dark alley. Out of danger, he stopped slowly letting me down. The boy had sea-green eyes, a characteristic of Poseidon. Rescued by Poseidon son, how ironic? I closed my eyes finally succumbing too darkness.
