Poseidon
As I watched the nerid pour the mysterious liquid down my son's throat, I couldn't help think that something was wrong. When the cup was empty, she turned to me.
"That should do it. I will leave now"
Almost as soon as she left, Percy began to cough hard so I turned back around and grabbed a cloth and pressed it to his face. After a few minutes he stopped and then moaned. I pulled the cloth away and all over it was blood.
"Percy!"
I put my hand to his neck and felt for a pulse. When I found it, it was weak. I willed the water around him to keep him alive, and then called for the guards. The other nerids rushed in and started to give hive him the antidote. I turned to the guards and told them what had happened, and they left right away to find the traitor.
About an hour later, I stood in the temple and Percy was sleeping peacefully in his room. The nerid that I knew I could trust assured me that he would wake up soon.
"My Lord" a voice called, "We have her".
Anger washed over me and I ordered them to bring her in. I watched as they drug her in. She didn't even struggle.
"Why?" I demanded.
"My Lord Oceanus commanded it. He needed the boy to remain weak. Then and only then can he draw strength "she answered completely calm.
"Well you failed to succeed" I continued, "and if you try again failure will shadow you".
"We will see" she said with a cold smile, then before my guards could stop her, she dissipated into the water.
"General "I called.
"Yes, My lord" the dolphin said, in the chattering language.
"Have sentinels posted at all the major access points, and alert me if anyone enters the area."
"Right away, My Lord" and then he swam away.
I watched as he swam away knowing that the worst was yet to pass. I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't notice the merman swim up.
"My lord," he said, "He is awake".
