Using New Powers

I woke up in my bed with Poseidon looking right at me. He looked well which meant the battle did not do much damage to his people. I looked at him with a face of worry and he knew what I wanted to hear.

'No one is hurt my love on either side. I am glad things were successful, now what is the next step to this plan."

I turned to him and realized that I did not actually know. I needed to deal with the three people that were trying to kill me earlier, but I did not want to kill anyone, due to that would not solve any of my problems. I looked at him and then looked down.

"I need to deal with three people Aphrodite, Ares, and then Atlas. I cannot kill them, but I want to prove to them that I am not your puppet and your slave. Although I do not know how to do that exactly without your help.

He then laid on the bed and met my gaze.

"Aphrodite and Ares I can help you with, they are not that hard. Atlas on the other hand I will support you and help you plan something but, that is your business and you're past. I love and trust you. Now I suggest with Aphrodite and Ares we put on a little show maybe a power show for my brother. I will go warn him it will go down and you injure them and show them who is the powerful and that no one is helping you. Atlas I do not know what do you want to do?"

I liked his plan for Ares and Aphrodite a show was just what I needed to end the power feud they had over me and I know Zeus would be all for it. I thought about what I wanted to do with Atlas and what my father told me earlier kept flashing into my mind. I knew what I had to do.

"I think Atlas and I need to sit down and just talk. Sometimes my father is right when he said that knowledge and peacemaking is better than power. I hurt him a while ago and I need to work it out with him and I think words alone can accomplish this task. I have the strength to face them all and I know I have your support so let's go do this"

He smiled at me and then said, "Okay let's get to it."

We walked out of the room and him "teleported" to see his brother. It was 15 minutes until he returned. He told me everything was all set and would take place in an open field in a couple of hours. I did not know how to control my powers and was still a little nervous about the fight. Poseidon could see my nervousness and said he would help me practice before the fight. So we went outside and he came at me full force and I defended myself 100 % I knew I was ready and could not wait to show everyone who I was.

We left a couple hours later and arrived to the open field and there they all were. I was to take them on one by one. My hands began to shake. Of course I was scared, who wouldn't be I soon learned that I would take on Aphrodite first then Ares. There were a lot of other Gods and Goddesses around, but I did not know any of their names. Aphrodite stood there and a minute later it started. She was fast, but I was faster. I used the water underneath the surface and dragged it up and put it around her neck she retaliated and threw rocks at me to break my focus. She was trying to make me fall in love with her, but I used the same water to blast her focus. I took more water and blasted it in her face and she fell. I used the same technique and tried to wrap it around her throat. She was immortal so this could not kill her. She could not get out of it and eventually passed out. Overall the fight lasted about 20 minutes. I was proud but Ares looked pissed. I knew he was going to be harder to take down. I thought of the same strategy I used to take Poseidon and realized that would be my next best plan. I looked around and couldn't find a strong enough water source beside sweat and a cup of water.

Ares approached and I grabbed the water from the cup and focused on Poseidon and the rest of the people there. Most people perspire and i worked with that. I lifted the water from their bodies that was being perspired and combined it all together. This was a move I could not have done without that enhancement. I then sent a massive push of energy binding it all together to create a massive circle of water he could not get out of this attack happened so fast he did not even see it coming. He jump out and disrupted my focus and I was thrown back 20 feet I immediately threw water at him and created the same amount of pool I did before but used more energy. I then created even more water within that circle to close off the air that he was getting. This was opposite to the technique I used with Poseidon. He eventually was chokings in a pool of water I created all from a cup of water and a few drops of water eventually I let go and everyone was stunned except Poseidon he was smiling. He was proud and I knew it. I approached the two bodies lying on the ground and I was not happy . I turned to them and said,

"If you ever approach me and attack me again just remember I did not use all of my powers. I am stronger than you think and have the smarts and the resources to make your lives living hell and do not think I won't use them all. I am stronger than both of you and I don't ever want to hear you said I rely on others for protection because if you do I am afraid even hell will seem more peaceful than what I have instore for you and you can take that as a threat."

I looked at their faces. Aphrodite looked petrified. Ares did not. His face was impressed. He turned to me and his comment shocked me.

" I am impressed. I did not think you had it in you. I wont be bothering you, but I will be watching you to see what you can do in the future."

I turned to him smiled and walked away. One problem was over and done with. I returned home with Poseidon and had a message sent to Atlas that I was coming peacefully to try to work out the entire situation. I did not know what the outcome will be but this needs to be done. I then looked at all of the bruises I maintained and realizing how bad I was injured. I shook it off and went to bed realizing tomorrow may be the hardest day of my life.
