It had finally happened. The gods had declare war against the titans. I of course hadn't known this until it had already happened, I just knew they had disappeared for a while leaving Hestia with me. I later found out that it was because she wasn't a fighter, which meant she wouldn't fight in the war. You have no idea how much I wish I could have stayed neutral like her and some of the Titans. But I was left no choice, I could be neutral but I would still be in the war. I was calling it the gray side. Not that it helped. Thus it was the beginning of the Titanomachy.
After Poseidon save me from the other deities, he told me why he even came looking for me in the first place: he was leaving with his siblings and only Hestia was staying behind. "I want you to stay close to her, Ok?" "But Poseidon, I can't just bargain into her day like that." He chuckled, and for some reason I had a shiver running through my body and not in a bad way. "Nonsense, she would be overjoyed. She wouldn't be alone this time." I sighed, " okay fine." He beamed at me and I couldn't help but smile.
We waited for days for them to come back. Hestia was so worried for them I was having trouble convincing her to eat. Though I would not lie I was worried too, it had been almost 4 days since they left. Just as Hestia was about to have another panic attack someone interrupted us (thankfully), " they are back!" He stated. As Hestia run toward them, i stay back an observe them. They all obviously wore battle armor, but with small differences. When Poseidon stepped forward towards me, I unconsciously did the same and before I knew it my body was welcoming him back. And for the first time I realize how tensed I had been as I relaxed into his arms as I hugged him. Breathing in his unique scent of the deep sea, storms and strangely the earth. We both stepped back, and just for a moment it crosses my mind that I am acting like his wife. And with great reluctance, I turned my gaze towards the other gods. I seriously want to shiver right now, why? You ask. Well because Hestia, Demeter and Hades are smiling like sharks, while Hera and Zeus look resigned. I return my gaze towards Poseidon and he smiles making me blush, again. And the bastard smirks, what a jerk. " we have officially declared war on the Titans." I blink and blinked again. Oh, after that everything went dark.
"Why did she even faint?" Someone around me asked. I try opening my eyes only to blink at the brightness. "Oh, she's awake!" That voice was Hestia. "Oceana, are you okay?" I smile, Poseidon was worried again. I nod, then try to sit up with his help. "Sorry guys I didn't mean to faint. Just what you said caught me of guard." Hades grins " and you didn't even let him finish." I looked sheepishly at Poseidon, he shakes his head. "As I was early saying, we officially declare war on the Titans and we got advice from Gaea." So that means they been out of their father for a while. "How long have you been fighting? And what advice? It's that what took you so long?" Zeus mouth twitches and I realize he approves of my questions. I thought he didn't like me. "We've been fighting eight years. And Gaea advised us to get her children out of Tartarus and they would fight for us." I nod, so the war is almost over, two more years but not completely; for soon after the giant war starts. Hades laughs I turn startled out of my thoughts. "What my brother neglected to say was that we already got them out. That's what took us so long. As of right now they said they need to make weapons for all of us. Well except Hestia and Poseidon." I looked confused and this time Demeter took pity of me." Poseidon's weapon is being made by the telekhines. He met them because he was raised near them, a place not even mother being queen could enter. Perfect place to hide Poseidon. Any way Hestia is because she doesn't like battle." I smiled in thanks at her. I sigh this had been a long four days. I mean they freed the Elder three Cyclops and the Hekatonkheires. I yawn and without realizing I was doing it, I put my head in Poseidon's lap and went to sleep. Soft laughs and a ' good night, angelfish!' Being the last things I heard.
