A/N Hey guys, as you can see, my update plan kind of fell apart, so I'm not going to make promises for when updates will be. I'll try my best not to take forever though. Also, school starts on Tuesday for me, so updates will probably on Saturdays and Sundays from now on. Unless I decide to randomly update on a weekday which may very well happen. You never know with me.

Aphrodite in Disguise: Poseidon is actually quite nice but like the seas, he has his dark moods. He probably cheated on Amphitrite so often because he hated her suspicious and nagging nature. If he had a less jealous wife, he just might have had fewer kids. That might be why he is attracted to strong women like Sally who don't try to hold him back, can accept that he has another world he belongs to, and who might miss him but won't force him to offer a soldier to cry on, unless he wants to. Also, maybe his nature is such that he can love a woman with all his soul ( do immortals have a soul? ) and yet forget about her within a week of her death. That's just the way he is, unlike Percy whose fatal flaw is loyalty. And of course, being one of the oldest Olympians, he has seen so much of the world that he probably feels that the world is too selfish, and even those who love each other passionately are sort of selfish deep down. ( I won't argue with him there ) This might make him feel as though the whole purpose of existence is your own satisfaction, and that sacrifice is pure rubbish, so why waste a moment in mourning? He might also feel that no one really cares about him, so why should he care? And he probably doesn't even mind not being loved, as long as he can keep himself happy. Another thing is that he is a horrible father, again for the reasons I stated above. Parents should be more selfless. Forget Percy, Triton would not have been so arrogant if Poseidon had behaved towards him as a father should, instead of ignoring him. I don't know if you have ever read the myth about Poseidon and Hestia. Apparently both Apollo and Poseidon wanted Hestia's hand in marriage but she did no love either of them. They were about to start a great battle but Hestia took her vow of chastity before things got any further. Later, Zeus suggested Poseidon marry Amphitrite, the daughter of Titan as a sort of peace treaty and Poseidon obeyed. Hope this helps!

FadingSunlight: Well, he should probably know better than to only write one sentence in a letter. And...maybe not take his anger out on mortals with earthquakes and tsunamis. He needs to find a way to safely get rid of his anger.

RoseBadwolf1000: For Poseidon, I feel Percy should really reprimand him on the whole, "You should not have been born" thing. from the first book.

MJ-Booklover: For Poseidon's chapter, maybe you could talk about how he argues with Athena all the time? I mean, he has to let go about Athens. You might have Percy talk to Poseidon about what happened after Percy was born-and how he has to learn to be a better dad. Maybe his relationship with his brothers? I mean, you don't have the best relationship with your brother if you start a war over who stole what-or tried to accuse your own brother over something.

Chasing Nirvana: For Poseidon you could talk about how he treats Percy and Triton differently and how Triton is probably jealous of his relationship with Percy.

myawfod: Poseidon- talk about being chill and maybe hiding, and breaking the rules.

I think that's all the credit. I apologize if I missed anyone.

To Poseidon,

You probably expected me to call you dad, right? Well, maybe on a normal day, but this isn't a normal day. A personal term like "dad" signifies a close personal bond between two people, and in all honesty, this letter is not meant to be "close" and "buddy-buddy". Pay close attention because my letter is a way than two words.

Where to start, hmm? Well, let's start with my birth. I suppose that's a fair place to start because that is what connects us. My question is, why break the oath? I suppose you could go with the lovey-dovey answer of, "Sally is the queen among mortals. I loved her." but in all honesty, that's a stupid answer. Why, you ask? Well, just because you love someone doesn't mean that you have to do "It" with them. If you really love them, then you will hold back if it will be better for both of you. Yes, I understand that it was a part of fate that you can't change, but that doesn't change the fact that you made the decision.

And what of Amphitrite and Triton? Did you ever think of how your actions would affect them? You probably didn't. You gods are selfish. Have you ever wondered why Amphitrite and Triton are so bitter towards you and I? Amphitrite is your wife and yet you repeatedly cheat on her over and over again, whether it be with mortals or immortals. Maybe you feel confined by Amphitrite. Maybe you don't like how suspicious she is. Have you ever thought that maybe she's like that because she loves you and doesn't want anyone to take you away from her? Besides, she has a reason to be suspicious. Amphitrite has been living for you gods for thousands of years. She knows that you gods cheat all the time, and I bet she doesn't want to be left alone. It probably pains her every single day to know that you don't love her as much as you should. Sure, maybe you do love her, but cheating doesn't show that. It's the same with your son Triton. In all honesty, I can't tell if you love him or not because you never show any emotion toward him. Haven't you ever wondered how he feels about that? I understand that you want to make the most time with your demigods sons because he don't live forever, but you never spend any time with Triton. What if he unexpectedly faded one day? You haven't even spend enough time with him to know that he's bitter! You say that you remember your family, but the truth is, you have forgotten them.

Now, let's talk about Athena. I realize that you have the whole "Athens" thing going on, but really, it's just stupid. It's just like two kids fighting over a toy and then continuing to fight as they grow into adults. Honestly, it just proves how childish you gods are. (Which is ironic seeing as you are thousands of years old.) You guys need to let it go. Maybe you let Athena win on purpose, or maybe she won on her own. Either way, it doesn't matter. If you moved on with your life and forgot this petty argument, you might find that you aren't as at odds as you seem.

It's time to talk about your brothers. Yes, this is another family issue. I know that you all love each other, but you never show it. You kill each other's children out of paranoia a fear knowing very well how much pain that causes you. You guys also forget how many problems that can cause. You also take out your anger that you have for one another (which you really shouldn't have in the first place), and you let it out on the wrong people. You blast demigods right and left, make terrible storms for the mortals to endure, and many other horrible things. You guys need to stop because it's not helping at all, and it's certainly not solving the problem.

"If my love is without sacrifice, it is selfish. Such a love is barter, for there is exchange of love and devotion in return for something. It is conditional love."

-Sadhu Vaswani

I realize that maybe you don't truly understand what love is. (Many people don't.) Maybe you think that love is selfish. It's not though. It's the people themselves that are selfish. Love is caring, and love is selflessness. Love is knowing when to put aside your own needs for a little bit because people need you. Love is sacrifice.

You wonder why your wife is bitter. You wonder why your son is arrogant and standoffish. You wonder what is wrong with your family. The answer is simple: you. You cheat on your wife. You ignore your son. You have ruined your family. The question is: are you going to fix it?

From,

Percy Jackson


A/N Next is Hades! (Man, I'm so excited and yet disappointed at the same time. Only two more letters left.)

By the way, was that less choppy or not? Please tell me your honest opinion!

Guys, we are at 122 reviews. Do you think we can make it to 130 reviews in one chapter? That's only 8 reviews, and I think you can do it because you guys are amazing people. (I totally wish I could put a heart here.)

Bye tear drops.
