Poseidon
You know, when I came to try and calm down Poseidon, I didn't realized how hard I would be trying. Especially when Amphitrite herself showed up. I mean I know they said Poseidon was the one that had to convince her, but come on I didn't realized how much it was her that was obsessed with him. How come they left that out of the stories, I also notice how manipulative she was. I already didn't like her. She wasn't what I imagine Poseidon's queen had to be. In my mind she was the calm side of the sea, the part that could calm him down. Instead she got him so pissed off, I think he wanted to eradicate her of his path. Not that I blame him, she so annoying.
By the time I reached the river my body was fighting the flight or fight instinct. There was this feeling in the air that screamed of danger. Even the forest seem to have realized it, everything was so quiet. It was the type of silence that yelled at you to turn around. But like an idiot I kept walking. When I finally saw him I froze. Poseidon looked like - well the god he was. His stance alone made you feel as if you shouldn't even dream to think of yourself as his equal. Well at least I felt like that - "I don't want to talk Hestia. Leave." Poseidon's strong baritone startle me out of my thoughts. "I said -" Poseidon stopped as he saw who it was. He turned his gaze back to the river and I notice the turbulence in the water. A strong emotion took over me, I just had the urge... the need to calm his anger. And before I could stop myself, I walked forward and put my hand on his shoulder. He tensed, and I started whispering to him "Calm down! Its okay love, no one can force you to do anything you don't want. Just calm down. Poseidon love, please. It pains me that I can't calm your anger." I felt his body lose the tension, but I still was so dazzled. I had no idea what I had told Poseidon. As I open my mouth to say more, another voice spoke first. " Poseidon love! I'm so happy I found you." That was enough to get me out of my emotional stage. I let go of his shoulder and stepped back, the tension in the air seemed to rise to even higher levels than it was before. Poseidon seemed to look at something behind me; I couldn't blame him though the woman behind me was Amphitrite. She was gorgeously beautiful, with black hair pinned back in a net of pearls and silk, eyes as dark as mocha, a kind smile, and I imagine a beautiful laugh too. She was dressed in a simple white gown, and her only piece of jewelry was a circlet of polished red crab claws across her brow. I felt lower than the sea floor, and I looked down. "And who might you be, his newest servant." Ok I might feel lower than dirt but I took no shit from anyone. Excuse the language, but it was true. " I am no ones servant, nymph. And I will not be treated as one either." She blinked, right before her face changed to complete outrage. "You dare -" "SILENCE!" Poseidon baritone echoed around us. We both turned our eyes back to him and almost instantly Amphitrite put her head down. I didn't blame her Poseidon looked beyond mad, but no matter how afraid that looked made me I didn't back down. Even to this day I swear I saw amusement in his eyes. "My lord, I didn't mean any disrespect. I just let my anger get the better of me. I just want you to be calm. And this lady isn't exactly helping at that. I could get rid of her for you if you wish." I narrowed my eyes at her, huffed and walked towards the river. As I passed Poseidon I whispered angrily " You deal with her, My Lord!" As I kneel in by the river to look at my reflection for the first time since I got here. I saw Poseidon whispering angrily at Amphitrite; I saw how she nodded so submissively. Poseidon seemed to calm at that, and something bitter seem to claw itself into my heart. I gave them my back, when I first saw my reflection, my eyes widened, I had long, curly white hair that seem to reach till my knees. My eyes were the color of a storm at sea ( like Poseidon when he's angry I couldn't help but notice). My skin on the other hand was the color of light chocolate. And worse of all I was small, like 4 feet small. Well more like my normal height of 5'1; but still no wonder Poseidon seemed like a bloody giant. I was a minion. Water splashed in my face startling out of my rambling. Almost instantly I turned back to Poseidon and Amphitrite, and I notice her bowing before leaving as fast as she could without running away. Coward! She got him beyond pissed and left me to deal with him. I stood up just as Poseidon turn back to me with a look that would make even Tartarus run away screaming for mommy. I didn't run but I did tensed ready for anything. He started walking towards me and i was about to run, when something told me not to stand my ground, and I did. As he got closer that feeling from before came back with a vengeance. I closed the space between us and put my hands on his cheeks, pulling his face closer to mine. I saw his stormy sea eyes close as I whisper to him. He held my waist as he pulled me closer to him. His hold was so tight I thought I wouldn't be able to step away from him." Come! We should go back to your family." I pulled him with me back towards the cave, trying to ignore how his eyes turn back to the sea green color I was used too. Just because I whispered to him, I really didn't want to know what this meant.
