Chapter 3 dose shake the world
hello all I know its been a while sense I posted, I was tricked into holding up the sky for a bit.
*Ferdinand*
Ferdinand paced nervously around and would mutter occupationally he would look around stomp a hove and start over. The satyrs mind was racing he new that somehow thing were going to go wrong. A friend of his another satyr who was widely thought to be far more traveled then any other often said that whatever could go wrong would go wrong. Ferdinand just shook his head he loved Murphy like a brother but sometimes he wish he would stop roaming around like Ferdinand's mother always told him to much of a good the is never a good thing and besides Murphy should just settle down with a nice nymph perhaps that foreign one who had been eyes Murphy. Ferdinand scratched his whiskered chine what was her name again Yakima, Kama no he was sure it was ...karma yeah that was it he was sure they would be happy together.
Shaking his head he was getting off track he should just leave yes the goddess of wisdom had asked or rather commanded he stay and watch and if it looked like medusa was leaving for good he was to call out to Athena at once this was what was making him rather twitchy he knew who he was watching and what the goddess of wisdom had done to her.
Now he held no hatred for medusa and no particular love for Athena he was just trying to make a quick drachma or the favor of a god. If he stayed he could have that and possibly more his name would be spoken in awe and the nymphs would come flocking to him the thought made his left leg shudder. On the other hove if he left his post and scampered off he wouldn't be between two goddess and a creature that could have him being the center peace of a flower garden more specifically as the fountain he could go off how likely was it that the goddess would even remember one lowly satyr but what if Poseidon or medusa learned it was him who leaked her location to Athena the god of the sea had meany children and twice as meany cyclops for children who just loved goat. Another option he would never voice should he somehow warn medusa and she escape his name would at least be spoken he was sure he could just imagine it now the god would be having a party and one god would say to another "i must get Athena to give me her decorator I just love how satyr skin brings out the room. What is it called again? Athena would walk up and smile and say "its called Ferdinand" that thought mad him shake in his hooves. there was no way in the underworld he would call on Poseidon he would be goat cheese before you could say I had a change of heart.
Ferdinand looked down at his hands Athena walked over to where he had a clear view of medusa's cave surrounded by statues mostly monsters and a few animals as he looked he say Lions, Tigers, and bears "oh my" he slapped a hand over his mouth. A movement had caught his attention slithering from her cave was medusa a bundle in her arms Ferdinand hide behind the tree a little better. He wondered if the female was going to go wash some cloths down at the river nothing he really needed to watch he began to turn away when he heard a very odd sound.
As silently as he could the satyr climbed the tree and got a better view and he felt his heart freeze in terror and he gulped things that he had heard from the godly news vine. why medusa seamed to be so vicious to all who neared her and why Poseidon had nearly killed Athena, for out in the clearing was medusa gently tickling a baby who had a snake like tail and had dark hair. Ferdinand began to breath hard and shake he climbed down from the tree and walked in a daze back to his camp one thought circling around his mind"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE"
when Ferdinand got to his camp and far enough away so he would not be heard by mother and child the satyr began to curse himself. After a few moments of this he finely made up his mind he would get out of the area call on Poseidon and beg for a swift end that was all he could hope for. Ferdinand began to pack his camp away he needed to get to salt water he didn't have any statuette of Poseidon. When he had everything was put way he took a seat and pulled out an apple to calm his nerves he began to munch away he had been there for weeks he had time for one apple.
When he finished he stood and was about to grab his pack when the darkening forest was lite by a sudden flash of white light. Ferdinand really didn't want to turn and look but he had to when he did he wished he had called out to Medusa to run for in front of him was the smiling Athena standing beside a large man who bore the crest of Aries who held a small box no not a box a child sized coffin.
*Poseidon*
Poseidon high god of the sea the earth shaker looked out over his latest project and smiled it would be the perfect place for his son to grow. A large palace was being finished the nursery and later Alikas room as specially enchanted it would follow day and night as well as the stars his child would grow up loving the stars just like his father and mother. No harm could happen with in its walls bumps and falls would leave no pain or blemish that spell was actually a lesser version that was placed over the entire palace any welcomed guess would be invulnerable to any magic, strength of arm or accident (it seriously cut down on half work days do to injury) there would be no danger to any who were welcomed.
the pool Poseidon was very proud of, he called it the pool of pools. the water that formed the pool was taken from every sea, river, lake and puddle his servants could get to then mixed with magic so that by jumping into the pool you could travel the world and return. Poseidon would warn Medusa, Poseidon thought for a moment and decided to post a guard by the pool Poseidon considered making it a lifetime posting so that the guard could preserve life of any who entered the pool he would have more then one and on a whim he decided to dub them the life guards .
When one of his cyclops children reported that the final touches were finished. The high god of the sea grinned and told his child to have the palace evacuated after a moment or two the crowed of his children and servants were at a safe distance. Poseidon slapped his hands together that shook the sea around him suddenly the water began to agitate,then like someone was blowing a giant bubble the water reseeded from the palace.
Poseidon looked over his handiwork and deciding it needed something more, The earth shaker outstretched a hand and with a shimmer his trident was is his grasp. Poseidon began to sink down until his feet touched the seabed he brought down the butt of the trident with a sound like a gong. the earth began to shudder and as if one mind controlled the sand surrounding the palace it rose up and formed a dome an inch from where the bubble ended. There was a flash of light and a smiling Poseidon reappeared on top of the sandy dome, looking around the god nodded to himself and with another gong like sound he placed the butt of the trident down and changed the sand to clear diamond that dimly shone with inner light. With this final touch finished it was time to collect his lover and child and bring them home and no power one this planet would touch them as long as the seas were his to command.
Poseidon flashed from his domain and being mindful of how he had frightened medusa the last time reappeared outside the cave and into pure chaos. there were screams of humans and monsters alike some of the humans where fighting against the monsters, some along side and all the while there was arrows flying and a time or to living beings were changed into lawn decorations. All the while he could hear medusa's lovely voice cursing all and sundry as wall as questioning parentage and said parents sexual preference's which made him smile he loved it when she had her hair in knots.
Deciding she shouldn't have all the fun Poseidon summoned his trident and began to wade through the crowed of vicious beasts and monster there was meany Dracaena,a flight of Stymphalian birds, a pack of ravenous hell-hounds, a cadre of hissing Lamia and a wavering hoard of Hekatonkheire meany weapons in their meany hands. The god slammed into attackers when the half bloods noticed who had joined the fight meany took off with looks of fear he made sure to catalog who they were and who's child they were and would make sure to have a chat with their godly parent about what they let their offspring get up to those who didn't run if no fighting raised their weapons and called out allegiance to Olympus and their godly mother of father and to his surprise meany were of Ares get with a little Aphrodite and some Hephaestus those half bloods fighting with the monsters were mainly of lesser gods children of semi divine monsters after a bit he got board and grew to his godly height and said in a voice that shook mountains hundreds of miles away "ALRIGHT THAT'S ENOUGH MONSTERS YOU HAVE 1 MOMENT TO FLEE OR I START FIRING BOMBING THE LANDSCAPE"
when the dust settled from the stampede and no living monster was standing before the elder god he hum'med to himself and shrank to a human size. All the living demigods bowed to the god who while not their godly parent was one of the three leaders of the gods. Positioned looked the group of 50 half bloods and making a quick judgment and walked up to the biggest of the group who was marked with the emblem of Ares the god assumed and rightly so that this was the leader of this group.
When Gregorian son of ares saw that the god of the sea was coming his way he didn't know whether to run, get on his knees or...make a mess but being a proud child of the god of war he compromised and bowed and speaking to the gods bare feet "greeting mighty Poseidon high lord of the sea shaker of the earth and father all horse's" Poseidon rolled his eyes he wondered if he would ever meet a demi god who would NOT use all his titles shaking his head "greetings son of ares rise and be well, while I am glade you were here I am very curious why and how you are here so far from the shores of grease" the young man blinked and stood straight and looked on the gods face and couldn't help but size him up and swore he would never war on this god unless directly ordered by his father.
clearing his throat he came to military attention as a show of respect and began" My lord we were dispatched here by the Oracle of Delphi she said all hast must be taken, we hopped upon any friendly flying mounts we could that is why there are so few of us, it is said that lady Pythia, she had received an audience with lord Apollo Himself and was given a prophecy" the young commander stopped to give the god time to digest his words. Poseidon nodded his head and asked "what is this prophesy that my nephew has spoken" Gregorian nodded closed his eyes and gathered the words.
"The children of love fire and war will fly"
"a score will die"
"the Heart of water and the one of serpents and stone must protect and be protected"
"else darkness her heart shell fall"
"protect the heart of the lovers two "
"for if stolen the the pillars of Olympus will fall into strife"
"into the unknown shell he fall if stolen beyond my sight and lost "
Poseidon paled in horror someone was after his son,rage and fear began to raise within his heart and the ground began to quake he turned and yelled "Medusa where is the baby,where is Alika!?" but his love didn't answer him with godly speed he raced to where he had seen arrows coming from. when he got there he saw signs of battle there were slash marks broken statues and arrows everywhere and a tipped over baby basket then he saw a swerving trail of blood moving away from the battle scene and scuffed marks that he was very positive where boot prints
just as Poseidon was about to run after his love, Gregorian run up to him panting and had his sword in hand ready for a fight not far behind him was his troops. making a snap decision he barked at his impromptu solders "Gregorian split your men and women up my lover and child are out there MOVE" he hoped the demigods were truly on his side but splinting up would maximize the chance's of finding Medusa and if they were against him they all couldn't gang up on medusa.
Gregorian saluted the god and turned to give his solders orders while Poseidon vanished following the tail of his love.
A/N i noticed that the "prophecy" wouldn't really make sense to the demi gods so i tweaked it
