Once Upon A Time
Chapter 1: A new hero is born
Amphitrite's P.O.V
I was in New York, watching my husband's concubine giving birth. The wretched woman is having a son. After that oath he made in the Styx, I thought he will be faithful to me. He did for many years until she came in to our lives. Now, he has another demigod son.
As I watched her pain, I smiled. I was hoping that she will lose it and die. Alas the child was born how innocent he looks. She saw me in the shadows.
"Please take care of my child" She said looking at me with pity. "Tell him I love him" and with she died. My eyes burnt with tears and felt pity. "I will take care of the child" I said firmly "no matter what Poseidon says"
I chanted and turned to the mother and turned her to water vapour. I looked at child and shape shifted to her mother. I took him in my arms and said: "what shall I name you?" I wondered "I'll name you Perseus." He opened his eyes and said with glee, giggling his little heart out.
The first five months was bearable. I get a new routine. A routine which consisted of me leaving the castle with a clone left behind in my steed, going to New York, arriving at the apartment before Perseus wakes up, spend time with him, making him sleep go back to the castle before the clone dispels, and I am done. It gets harder and harder and with each leave. Poseidon is starting to suspect. He probably knows, but just said nothing. Either approving or disapproving of what I am doing. I'd care less anyway. Perseus is my child now, and nothing Poseidon say could change that.
I arrive in the apartment exactly as Perseus wakes up, wakes up crying. I changed my form and lifted him up. Regular children cannot taste milk of female immortals it could kill them if the dosage is too much and they could get addicted. Thus, they will be forever reliant on it, and can't drink or eat anything else. I may have shifted my form and reduced my immortality for a few moments to feed Perseus, but I am pretty much immortal. I want to turn my baby boy to an immortal so badly, but I want him to be normal at least even for a little while. At least for five years, before I tell Poseidon.
I revealed my breast and made him start suckling. I hummed a slow careful tune to sooth his sobs. I carefully fed him his food. Putting them in small spoonful before swallowing.
DINGGGGGGGG
The doorbell rang. I went and took only to find Poseidon in my doorstep.
"Hello sally" he said looking at me and then the child.
"Who is this cute little rascal?" he asked.
"That little rascal Poseidon is your son" I said putting up a smile. I then gave Perseus to him placed a frown and began mock scolding him trying to keep up the façade. I asked him where has been, why he did not visit, and other questions I know the answer too, but for the sake of doing it.
"Sorry I got caught up with politics." He said. "Today was my only free time. Air for Brains kept me up for most of it." He then looked at him and whispered in Perseus's ears. "Mommy is sure is scary." I punched playfully.
"It is okay." I kissed him and massaged his shoulders while he is playing with Percy.
"Say Sally, what if I visit every two weeks." He told me.
"That is a great idea but won't they suspect." I asked.
"Don't worry I've got that covered." He replied evaporating out of the room. Speaking of theatrics. I rolled my eyes and continued the day with Percy.
Author's After note: here is the revised chapter one. I made it in time. Sorry for not being able to update. I have to face the monstrosity known as third ear high school. Hope you enjoy reviews will be welcomed and please tell me if I'm getting rusty. I haven't made a story in ages.
