The life of a god
Chapter 4
4(Annabeths pov at Poseidon's palace)
It took us about a half hour just to find Poseidon. His palace is huge. And with Percy only being here once before it didn't help at all. So when we finally found Poseidon he was in a huge room with 3 thrones. He was sitting on the one in the middle and on his left was who I'm guessing is Amphrodite and on his right was Triton. Poseidon looks kind of happy to see us while the other two, well not so much.
"Hello Percy and Annabeth. I'm glad that both of you could be here and see my kingdom when it isn't under attack. I'm sure you both know of Amphrodite and Triton." Poseidon said happily.
"Yes, lord Poseidon. It's a pleasure to meet you both."I said confidently while Percy, still holding my hand just stared.
"Well now what would you like to see first Annabeth?" Poseidon asked.
"Everything lord Poseidon." I said enthusiastically.
"Well follow me I'll show you around." He said. "Amphrodite, Triton, I will see you a little later."
They swam away angrily and Poseidon gave us the tour.
An hour and a half later the tour was over and I knew enough to design Percy's palace. I told him I had seen enough and he said "okay."
"Lord Poseidon I am very thankful for the tour. Your palace is beautiful and so is your kingdom but I must be leaving. I have to design another house for someone before tomorrow." I said.
"It was my pleasure Annabeth." Poseidon said.
"I'm just going to send you back to camp. I have to talk to my dad, okay?" Percy asked me softly.
"Yeah but your coming back right?" I ask with a sad look on my face.
"Of course. I'll see you later Annabeth." Percy whispered into my ear as he hugged me. He gave me a soft kiss on the cheek and then backed away. "bye." And I went back into the darkness.
(Percy's pov)
I sent Annabeth away and then turned to my dad.
"Father can I ask you something?" I said in a sad voice.
"of course you can. But I may not be able to answer the question." Poseidon said.
"that's fine. I don't know how to say this so Dad I think I love Annabeth…" I said softly.
"yes. Go on." Poseidon said.
"well I know that we have only been in a relationship for a week but we've know each other for four years and well I think I want to marry her." I told him looking down at the ocean floor. "the thing is though is that she is only mortal. And well I'm a god. Unless she can become immortal then I can't marry her."
"Percy, every god or goddess gets one chance to have an eternal partner. Now once you choose them you can't go back on it. Every marriage is bound with an oath on the river stixs. So if you choose her you can't go back. Are you sure she's the one?" Poseidon asked.
"yes father she is." I said with happiness and love for her filling my voice.
"I'll talk to Zeus and Hera about this, but you have to talk and get approval from Athena. Do you understand?" he asked sternly.
"yes father." I replied.
"I will have a ring made in the forges and a diamond brought from hade's realm and send it to you." He said.
"thank you father. I don't know how I could ever repay you." I said.
"I'll think about it son. Now go you have a girl waiting for you." He said.
I took a step back from him and went god traveled back to camp half-blood.
