I DON'T OWN THE GREEK MYTHS.

After a long and sleepless flight, Johnny's jet finally landed in Athens. Denny and the cast found a real nice hotel in the city and stayed there for a couple of days, exploring Athens. Denny was really absorbing the history and the fascinating culture. He liked to hear all the myths about the Olympians. He was especially interested in myths about Poseidon. On the 3rd day, Johnny announced to everyone that they were leaving that morning.

"Listen up everybody, I hire ship to take us to the island." Johnny announced. "We leave right now." No one really wanted to leave Athens, but they were there to do a job, so they packed up their stuff and followed Johnny down to a dock. When they arrived, they found a medium sized yacht. The Triton. As Mark, Denny, and Lisa carried the stuff to the ship, the captain came out. He was wearing only swim trunks and sandals. He had a decent sized beard and piercing eyes. He was walking with a fancy cane that had a three pronged base.

"You are captain yes?" Johnny asked.

"I am." The man replied.

"I am Johnny Daae, the director of huge movie. This Mark, Denny, and Mark's girlfriend." He said as he pointed them out.

"Lisa." She said in an annoyed voice. The captain nodded.

"Some people call me Neptune, but the locals call me Poseidon." He stated with a glint in his eye. Johnny laughed.

"Like the sea god?" Denny asked curiously. Poseidon smiled at him.

"Exactly." Poseidon replied. Once Denny and Mark loaded all the film equipment and art supplies on board, they were ready to cast off.

"All right captain, let's go." Johnny ordered. Poseidon hesitated.

"Look Daae, I'm not so sure about this idea of yours. Are you sure that you should be risking the lives of your friends to find some island?" Johnny scoffed.

"They not my friends, they is actors and crew. By the way, I already pay you 5,000 euros up front. I pay money, that means you do as I say. If your tub can't take us to Ogygia, I find someone who can." Denny watched as Poseidon got an angry look on his face. If looks could kill, Johnny would be a dead man. As they argued, the sky got a little dark. Suddenly, Poseidon calmed himself down and gave Johnny a fake smile.

"All right, I'll set a course for Ogygia." He said as he muttered in Greek under his breath that Johnny could go fuck himself.

Over the next couple of days, Johnny got some good footage of Mark and Lisa having a romantic scene. However, there was tension when Johnny wanted Lisa to give Mark oral on camera and they both refused.

"No way Johnny, this isn't a porno." Mark argued.

"I'm not sucking off my boyfriend for your perverse fantasies." Lisa added.

"This film whatever I say it is." Johnny shot back. "We need to sell film and hot people doing things sells film." As Johnny, Mark, and Lisa continued to argue, Denny joined Poseidon on the bridge.

"Hey Denny, is the kólos giving you a hard time?" he asked.

"What's a Kólos?" Denny asked.

"It's Greek for asshole." Poseidon replied as Denny laughed.

"Yeah. I mean, I can't believe I signed on for this trip. Should've known that Johnny would be a prick."

"If you don't mind my asking, why did you come on this trip." Denny sighed.

"I'm an artist. I've been trying to go mainstream for awhile now and...people just think that I'm a joke. I was hoping that coming to Greece might give me some, inspiration?" He stated.

"Well, mortals are like that sometime. Some think that they're better than everyone else, but they're all the same in Zeus's eyes." Poseidon said, forgetting that he was talking to a mortal.

"Do you...really believe in the Greek gods?" Denny asked. Poseidon nodded.

"Trust me, they are as real as you." he replied. Denny was curious, but the captain would say no more on the matter.

After about a week of sailing, the Triton finally ot within sight of an island. They had no idea if it was Ogygia or not, but Johnny was willing to take what he could get.

"Land ho!" Poseidon shouted. Everyone rushed out on deck to get a look at the mysterious island.

"At last, all of my hard work is about to pay off." Johnny said as he gazed upon the island.

"Your hard work?" mark asked incredulously.

"Shut up Mark." Johnny shouted, cutting him off. "Captain, ready life boat, we got to island and make movie. Mark, Denny, load equipment on to boat." As Mark and Denny went to pack the equipment. Poseidon attempted to dissuade Johnny from his course.

"If I may say something, I don't think that this is such a good idea." He told Johnny. "Isn't there somewhere else that you can make your movie?"

"No, I say I'm gonna make movie here, so I make movie here." Johnny shot back. "You not here to lecture me, you here to drive boat. So do your job!" Poseidon was getting really fed up with Johnny's self righteous attitude.

"Listen, you air headed fool. I'm trying to give you advice." Poseidon shot back as the waves became choppy.

"You not geographer, you boat captain. You know nothing about location." Johnny yelled as the weather got bad. As the 3 Americans went into the boat, Poseidon was getting even more angry. To Denny, it seemed that the more pissed off he got, the worst the weather became.

"Johnny you lunatic!" Poseidon shouted. "You can't make it ashore like this, those are 10 foot waves out there!"

"You crazy?" Johnny shouted back. "This is island I spend 6 weeks trying to find. I didn't come thousands of miles and spend week on lousy ship to give up now. I'm landing on island if it kill me!"

"FINE! GO AND GET YOURSELF KILLED!" As Poseidon reluctantly lowered the boat into the waters, Mark and Denny each grabbed an oar and began rowing. Lisa was definitely scared, but Mark tried to calm her.

"It's no problem babe." He said in a tender voice. "It's not that far away."

"Mark, you have camera and film?" Johnny asked as they rowed.

"As much as I can carry." he replied.

"Good, Denny, keep eyes open, we need paintings for hut scenes." Johnny ordered. Denny nodded as they moved towards the island. They continued to row as the waters got even more rough.

"The waves are pretty powerful." Lisa yelled.

"Those little ripples, don't worry about them. They no issue." Johnny replied.

"The current is too strong Johnny." Mark argued. "We need to turn back."

"Over my dead body." Johnny shot back. "You turn back, I kill you." Mark sighed as he and Denny kept rowing. Suddenly, Denny saw the biggest wave he'd ever seen in his life coming right for them.

"Holy shit!" Lisa screamed.

"It's a 21 foot wall of water." Mark said breathlessly.

"We may need bigger boat." Johnny added as the wave crashed into them. As the boat capsized, Denny tried to hold on, to the boat, to Mark, to anything, but in the end, Denny was swept away by the water.

WILL DENNY SURVIVE? REVIEWS NEEDED.
