A/N
You don't know how pleased I am with your active response to the polls. At first, I had thought that I would get a maximum ten to twenty replies, but you guys literally blew my mind. Thanks for being so supportive and responsive , stay the same. Here is the next chapter. Enjoy.
Percy POV
"Understood my boy?"
My father gave me a stern look while speaking this sentence. I hadn't really been paying attention to him . He had been speaking for the last two hours. I had seriously tried to focus on him , but after something like ten minutes, my ADHD had taken control and I had been lost in thought about how mermen performed ' the act '
considering that they had tails instead of lower halves .
But I knew that father was just telling me about how I was not supposed to inform anyone about me being his son. This was because any god could harm me if they knew who I was . But once I was inside camp, no god could directly harm me without the council's permission. But it wouldn't happen without a war amongst the Olympians.
Poseidon cleared his throat at looked at me expectantly. I looked at him for a second before nodding slowly. He raised an eyebrow, but said nothing.
"Also, when you reach the surface, you will be about a 100 miles from Long Island. This is to ensure that no one suspects you to be my son."
I had to agree to that. It wouldn't take a detective to figure out my parentage if I just walked out of the water on the beach at camp.
"But why so far, dad? Can't it just be like four to five miles?" I asked.
" No. This is your punishment for the Leviathan incident ." He spoke in a cold tone.
I gulped while remembering the incident that had occurred two years ago. Man, who knew a snake's insides could be so nasty and acidic.
Flashback : 2 years ago
I was on my way to my room after finishing my daily lessons with Aphros. Funny how he could teach me while weaving socks. That Ichthyocentaur was really scary when he got mad. Add to it his scary weaving needles. Ughh. Got distracted.
As I was nearing my room, I heard an argument going on in Triton's room. Now, I really appreciate personal space, but this got me really interested. I hadn't really seen anyone who could stand up to Triton in an argument, except for dad, mom and Delphin.
I quietly moved towards the door and pushed it open a little. My suspicions were proven true when I could see my dad standing with his back to me. He was facing the window, overlooking his kingdom. Triton was sitting on the bed with his hands on his lap. His eyes were closed, and he looked annoyed. Through this angle, I could see both of them, but they both couldn't see me.
After a minute of silence, Triton finally opened his eyes and spoke," I know that you think it is a minor issue, but I have a gut feeling that this is something far larger than a simple monster. Please let me go and check it out."
Dad sighed loudly and turned to face Triton. " I know that your gut feelings are rarely wrong. But, I do not think that the prince of the seas should check something minor. Also, you have some important things to do. I have a task for you ."
Triton was about to speak more, but I couldn't hear what he was saying as I heard someone approaching the room. So, I quickly backed away and acted as if I was just passing by. Two seconds later, a merman guard turned the corner and ran towards us. He gave me a hurried bow and knocked on Triton's door.
When he went inside, I moved back towards the door. I heard the guard telling dad that the issue they were talking about was not a simple monster, but the great Leviathan itself. What is this Leviathan? I thought to myself. I saw my father gain a worried look and the colour leave from Triton's face.
This was strange. Usually when he was proven right, Triton would never fail to rub it in your face. He had gained theompetitive trait from father. But now, he was uncharacteristically pale. I had never seen Triton afraid of any other sea creature. Rather he wasn't even afraid of many Olympians. Being the first child of Amphitrite, he was really strong. He was also Poseidon's second born, the first being Arion , horse son of Poseidon and Demeter.
Don't even ask me how. I can't speak about it without barfing my guts out.
Triton was easily more powerful than Dionysus, but Dionysus was on the council just because he was Zeus's son. Dam you ADHD. This was the only drawback of Poseidon adopting me. It gave me ADHD. But it wasn't really a disadvantage. Or was it?
Focus Percy. I told myself.
Shaking my head, I listened to the conversation. Triton turned towards father and said seriously, " Father, now we know that it is not something minor, but the snake from hell itself. Please let me go and fight the snake . Only you and I stand a chance against this monster. Even mom isn't a match for it. We can't risk any more villages and lives for this."
Dad nodded with a worried, but determined look. This was why the underwater kingdom was so prosperous. Even though dad had a confident and stern aura, he was a big softie at heart when it came to his people. He would always help anyone in need. So naturally, the sea creatures respected and loved him.
This was the prime difference between dad and Zeus. Zeus liked to think of his subjects as below him and liked to show extreme authority and dominance. But dad loved his citizen like children and thus, the citizen loved him .
Dad turned to the guard and motioned for him to leave. The guard bowed to them and started to leave. I again stepped back and pretended to check the flowers from the vase outside of Triton's room. The guard gave me a suspicious look, but still bowed and left.
My dad then turned to Triton and spoke, "You are right son. This is actually a major problem. I want you to go there right now and take care of this snake. "
Triton nodded his head in response. Dad then got a mischievous look on his face and he turned towards the door ." Come in Percy, I know you have been listening to our conversation for the past twenty minutes.
I knew that I had been caught red handed and there was no point in escaping. So, I opened the door and stepped inside. I am pretty sure I looked like a deer caught in head lights.
My father had a perfect poker face on, while Triton was smirking smugly. " Well young man, may I know why you were eavesdropping on our conversation? I thought your mother taught you that poking your little nose in other's matters is considered as bad manners." Father's face remained stoic throughout his sentence.
I knew that if I looked into my father's eyes, I would be compelled to tell the truth. So, I wisely kept looking at my Puma trainers and answered, "No father, I wasn't eavesdropping. I was just passing by and stopped to inspect and water the flowers outside this room."
As soon as these words left my mouth, I mentally slapped myself. That was the most pathetic excuse anyone could ever make. Watering flowers while being underwater. Way to go Percy. Triton looked at me incredulously for a second before he busted out laughing. Even father was laughing loudly.
They were laughing their asses off for the next fifteen minutes. By the time they stopped, father was leaning on a chair beside him with his hand on his stomach, while Triton was lying on the ground, with tears in his eyes. " That was the funniest thing I have heard in weeks. Seriously Perce, that was the best excuse you could come up with?" Triton asked while rubbing his eyes .
My cheeks went red with embarrassment while I just glared at him, choosing to not give him a verbal answer. If looks could kill someone, Triton would already be dead ten times over by now. I had always been told that my glares were as scary as my father's, which is a feat that only a few people ( Hades and Kronos) could achieve.
I was told that when I got really mad, my eyes went from royal blue to a cold blue colour, and looked like there was electricity running through them . Even when I was seven years old, I could scare the shit out of adult mermen with just my glare. The mermen called it the 'wolf stare'.
Triton never admitted to it, but even he was affected by my glare. It worked even this time. My glare caused him to gulp and sober up. My father then spoke, "You do remember that I can sense your aura right? While this was really amusing, I believe we all have work to do . I have a meeting to attend, Triton has to go face Leviathan, while Perseus has to rest and get ready for his archery practice. "
" Dad, can I go with Triton and face the snake?" I asked while giving him the puppy dog eyes. This look had never failed to work on him. But this time, he didn't even hesitate before answering," No, you will not go with him. You are too small to fight the snake monster. Also, if you go Triton will not be able to use his true form , which will be a disadvantage while fighting such a majestic beast."
I was shocked that my puppy eyes didn't work . "But father, I have never fought a real monster in my life . You had promised me that I could fight monsters when I was nine years old. Please let me go. I will be careful, I promise."
He just stared at me coldly, " I said no and when I say something, I mean it. Would you want to defy your father's orders, child? "
I knew that I had to convince him somehow, but the problem was that he was really stubborn. And when I say very stubborn, I mean like convincing him to do something he didn't want to do was like convincing a rock to do something for you. " Please father. Let me do this. Pretty please with a cherry on top."
Triton snorted at this while my father sighed loudly. " No Percy, you will not go there. This is final. Now run along, before I cancel your physical training for a month."
I looked at him in horror before gulping and running out of the room. I heard laughing coming from the room. I reached my room and jumped onto the bed. I knew that I needed someone's advice for this. So, I decided to speak to Ikol. Now you must be thinking who is Ikol.
Well I will explain it, but don't call me crazy after it. See, when I was born, father said that my birth Mark was different than others. While others have moles or spots as birth marks, mine was a hammer. Not a war hammer, but similar. It looked like a cuboid placed on a handle. It was placed on my chest, right above my left pec.
Once when I was sad, I accidentally pressed the hammer while feeling my heartbeat. Suddenly, a cheerful male voice spoke in my mind. " Hey mate . How you doin? I have waited since forever to talk to you."
To say I was shocked would be an understatement. So, I tried to speak to the voice." Who are you? What are you doing in my mind?"
" Hmm. What a nice way to start a conversation. " The voice replied sarcastically. Wait. How was I able to sense it's sarcasm if it spoke inside my mind? It continued speaking, " As for who I am, I am Lo... sorry I am Ikol. You can think of me as your buddy. A roomie, but instead of sharing your room, I live inside your mind. I am tasked to do this by your grandfather."
I didn't even know if I could get more surprised right now. So I asked," What do you mean Kronos sent you? "
The voice laughed loudly, causing a small headache. " That weakling is not your grandfather dude. Your real grandfather has given me this task."
I spent the next half hour talking to Ikol about what he was. He explained that he was like my instinct or my 'guardian angel' as he called it. He was supposed to help me in my future, till I understand about my true parentage. When I asked about it, he wouldn't even say a word. Of I thought that Poseidon was the most stubborn person I had ever seen, I had been terribly wrong. Ikol's stubbornness was at a totally new level.
Eventually I got him to shut up and decided that whatever consequences, I would go and fight the monster. So, I gathered my armour and got dressed in it. Riptide was in my pocket in it's pen form, while my shield τυφώνας (hurricane) was present on my finger in it's ring form.
I snuck out of the palace quietly so as to not alert my father that I was leaving. I asked a couple of fish about where my brother had gone. They pointed towards the South. Man, that's not good. This was the direction of the sea of monsters. While I was interested in fighting monsters, even I wasn't stupid enough to go near the sea of monsters , or as mortals call it - the Bermuda triangle.
But I cast those thoughts aside and took off towards the southern seas. About an hour later, I could see the start of the destruction caused by the snake. A village named ηρεμία (serenity) had been totally razed. There wasn't even a soul in sight. This caused me to gulp. If this monster could cause such large case destruction, how was I supposed to fight it. The only thing that could cause such destruction would be father's trident.
Deciding to inspect further, I moved towards the core of the destruction. As I got near, I could hear large blasts of power, which even from the distance caused my skin to itch. But the next moment, the light and blasts stopped and a figure came hurtling towards me. The body crashed into a nearby tower and caused it to crumple to the ground.
I swam towards the ruins as fast as I could and started removing the rubble above the body. When I removed a particularly large piece of rock, I was presented with the view of sea green twin tails. Triton! I thought as dread filled me.
I doubled my efforts and finally managed to free my big brother. He looked as if he had been used as a chew toy by a giant crab. Ichor was freely flowing from his mouth and nose. His body was covered in bruises. The worst however was his left hand, which had two deep fang marks in it, which were turning a sickly shade of green.
Remembering that I had brought some ambrosia with me, I removed it and fed the whole stash to him. The colour slowly returned to his face and his bruises healed to scars. Blood stopped flowing from his various wounds. But the fang marks weren't healed. Although the green colour had considerably lessened. He slowly opened his eyes and tried to study his surroundings. When his eyes landed in me, they widened dramatically before narrowing. " I think father told you that you were not supposed to come here, little brother."
I rolled my eyes and replied sarcastically,
"Welcome brother." This caused him to glare at me. He was going to say something, probably a taunt, when he was stopped abruptly by a big hiss. I turned around and what I saw made my jaw drop to the ground.
I had wondered why even my father was worried about Leviathan, but now that I saw him it took all my willpower to not faint there itself. Before, I had thought that he would be a normal snake, just oversized. But I couldn't be more wrong. This beast was something that would make even grown dragons run for their mommy.
It was about 1200 feet long and had two humongous claws. It's nails on the claws were about the same size as my whole body. It's eyes were a sinister yellow colour and held vast knowledge. They were eyes similar to a drakon's. They could paralyze you in an
'Oh-fuck-that-huge-snake-is-gonna-eat-me' kind of way.
When it opened it's mouth, I was hit with the worst smell ever. Even worse than the cyclop's washroom ( don't ask me why or how I went there. I still have nightmares about that place). That was when it was about a few hundred feet away from us. I didn't even want to check how he smelt up close .
I turned to Triton and said, " Whatever you want to say, we have all the time after this. Let's fight Levi over here first , shall we?"
He nodded his head and gave me a teasing smirk, " Fine. But don't die there little bro. Or we will have to replace you. Man. It would take efforts to find a replacement."
Leave it to him to make terrible jokes in a situation like this. I just flipped him the bird, which caused him to snort. " Lead the way , O great Heir of the seas." I said mockingly. He returned my gesture by raising both his middle fingers and charged towards the snake.
If Mom found out that I was swearing at the age of nine, she would definitely wash my face with soap. But it was between Triton and me. Even though he is generally a dick, he is still cool when it comes to keeping information safe.
I uncapped riptide and activated hurricane.
Running towards the snake, I was giddy with excitement that finally I would fight a real monster, while also worried that my first monster could very well be the last monster I face.
Triton took the snake head on by blasting it with energy, while I took it from the side trying to cut it's claws and scales. I was making rapid progress when it noticed me and waited for my next strike. When I charged forward, it just moved it's claws and backhanded me . The force behind the blow was so large, that I was sent flying back about fifty feet. Fortunately, I landed on a broken bed, which lessened the impact of the fall. But still, I could feel that I had broken a few ribs.
The next moment, another figure was sent flying towards me. Triton landed on the broken sofa next to my bed. His nose was broken along with his trident. " That mother fucker hits like a mountain." He spat.
"Yeah. Pretty sure I broke some ribs. " He nodded to my sentence and stood up. He summoned another trident, but this one also had a conch shell on it. His symbol of power. I had never seen him use it. He must be pretty worried if he was using it.
I myself stood up with difficulty. How were we supposed to defeat this creature? My sword wasn't even able to penetrate it's scales. My stabs were like ant bites to it.
' Simple. You kill it from the inside. ' Ikol said in my mind. This caused me to jump in surprise as I wasn't used to a voice speaking to me inside my head.
" What do you mean kill it from inside? Dude , are you high or something?" I asked Ikol.
Ikol laughed and replied,"Nope dude. I ain't high. But trust me when I say that if you want to defeat it, you have to stab it's heart. This is only possible when you are inside it's body. It's heart is in the center of it's chest. Your sword won't even pass it's skin, much less Pierce it's heart."
I had to agree with him that I couldn't reach it's heart without entering it's body. "But wouldn't the acid in the stomach kill me? Also, won't his teeth turn me into snake chow before I even reach his heart?"
" No. Although it should kill you, I will protect you . Consider it as my rent to you for staying in your mind." He chuckled. I wasn't really sure about how he could save me, but I didn't really have any other option.
So, I decided to follow my usual plan. Go with the flow.
"Kay. Count me in . But if I die, I will make sure that you pay." I mentally told him. I could feel him mentally nod ." Fair enough."
I turned to Triton and said, "I think I know how to defeat the dickhead. Just fire at his eyes with your most powerful blast and leave the rest to me." He looked at me with doubt in his eyes , but nodded nonetheless.
With a final nod, we both ran towards the monster. Triton went ahead and distracted the monster while I swam above it. When I was directly above it's snout, I gave Triton a thumbs up. He nodded and sent the most powerful blast I had ever seen towards the monster. It hit Leviathan directly in the right eye. The monster hissed in agony and raised his head. When it opened it's maw to hiss, I made the water project me towards the snake's open mouth. The air coming out from it's hiss was an obstacle, but I managed to dive into it's open mouth.
Triton POV
Still flashback
That idiot! I thought that he had a good plan to defeat Leviathan. But instead he willingly gets swallowed by the snake. And I thought I was the reckless and idiotic one in the family. Dam. I should have known it. Afterall, Percy's ideas literally screamed
'Suicide' . What am I going to tell Mom and Dad now?
What was the idiot thinking? Even if the monster doesn't bite him to death, he will still melt from the acids within the monster's mouth and stomach. At the thought of my little brother dying, rage filled within me. I had never been so angry before. Not even when I was denied my rightful throne on the Olympian council.
I looked at the monster with burning eyes and shouted," Enjoy your last moments on Earth, monster. For killing my brother, I will make you fade. " I sent another powerful blast of power towards the monster.
Memories came flooding to me. From that adorable one month old Percy when Dad adopted him to his first words - 'mama' to mom. Mom had happily cried for an hour when she had heard this. I remembered his first time walking and how he had face planted on the ground. I remembered the nights when I used to read stories about heroes and legends to him. Then I remembered his first time seeing a blue whale. He had been so awestruck that he couldn't stop talking about whales for the next week.
I remembered his obsession for blue food. His first time seeing the world above. He had been fascinated by how humans breathed above water. Then his first sword fight came into my mind. How he had shown incredible potential and almost disarmed me in two occasions.
With each memory, I got angrier and sent a more powerful blast towards the snake. I knew that I was tiring out, but my rage filled state gave me more power to avenge my little brother, my partner in crime.
An image of my mother crying passed my mind. This just caused me to get angrier. I got into my godly form and ran straight to the snake. I punched his face with all my might. This caused him to recoil in pain and shock. But now I knew that I wasn't going to last long. So, I used my remaining power and concentrated it into my trident. Then I stabbed my trident into the monster's left eye, effectively blinding it. The monster shook it's head violently and I was thrown aside. I landed on my back and was unable to get up . I turned to see that the monster was rushing straight towards me. Well, this is the end. Looks like I will have to take a vacation to Tartarus for reforming.
Just as the monster reached a hundred feet from me, I closed my eyes, bracing myself for the pain. But it never came. I slowly opened my eyes to see an astounding sight. The snake had a constipated look on his face. It had stopped moving and it looked like something was going on in it's body.
Suddenly, the snake started thrashing wildly while hissing in pain and agony. If the creature hadn't killed my brother, I would actually have felt pity for it. But seeing it in pain gave me a feeling of satisfaction. But it also confused me. What could cause this ? A small part of my heart said that it was Percy, and I seriously wanted to believe it, but the logical part of me knew that even I couldn't survive the acid in the snake's stomach.
All of a sudden, the snake went still. The light in it's eyes died down and cracked started to form on it's body. The cracks solidified and the body burst open. Chunks and pieces of the snake's body flew here and there. When the dust cleared , there stood Percy, with his hair over his eyes, his knees bent and his sword stabbed in the snake's heart. From head to toe, he was covered in the monster's blood and acids.
He slowly stood up and walked towards me. As he took his third step, his eyes rolled inside the back of his head and he face planted on the ground. Despite the pain in my body, I got up and limped towards him.
I sat and took his head in my lap. I checked his pulse to see that it was barely there. His heart was beating alarmingly slow and his breaths were ragged. I knew that he needed immediate medical treatment.
I turned and saw a drachma lying beside me. I used my trident to make a spray of water and threw the drachma in it. "Iris , goddess of the rainbow, show me Poseidon, Lord of the seas."
The image cleared and I saw mom and dad in their bedroom, in a very ... compromising position. I quickly averted my eyes and shouted ,"Dad"
He bolted from his bed and immediately summoned clothes in himself. Mom covered herself in the sheets.
"T..t..triton, w..what happened to you? What about Leviathan?" He asked , his face flushed in embarrassment.
I faced him seriously and said," Leviathan was defeated, but not by me. This Little shit sneaked out against your permission and joined me to fight the snake. But now he is seriously injured and needs medical attention. Please come fast."
Father's eyes widened and his face paled. He immediately summoned his trident and swiped across the IM, ending it. The next moment, he flashed next to us and bent down to pick Percy up. He took hold of my hand and flashed us back to the palace. Percy was immediately sent to the medics for medical treatment. I just asked for ambrosia and nectar. As soon as I entered my room, the day's exhaustion took toll on me and I passed out on my bed.
Percy POV. (Still flashback)
I woke up to find myself in a comfy bed. My entire body felt numb, but still it was better than the comatose state I had been in. I wasn't able to open my eyes completely because of the bright light. I could also feel the presence of four people in the room.
" The Fates have shown pity to the boy. If you would have brought him even a minute later, he would have been crippled beyond repair. Seven of his ribs were broken and one pair had even torn the skin and was poking out. The bones in his legs and hands had been broken. "
It sounded like Naphos, the royal medic of Atlantis. Another voice , that of my father replied," Is he okay? How long will he take to get back in proper condition?"
Naphos replied," The boy has an unbelievably good healing. How? I don't know. But he heals even faster than an Olympian. Any other mortal who took his injuries would have to spend the rest of his life on a wheelchair, but Perseus here will heal in about a week, but do not make him do any physical work for a month. "
Three sighs were heard. That is when I decided to open my eyes completely. I heard a gasp and the next second, I was enveloped in a bone- crushing hug by my mother. I gasped at the pain of the hug. This caused my mother to let go. She had tears running down her eyes with a relieved look on her face. But it soon changed to anger. She grabbed my ear and pulled it hard.
" The next time you do something like this, I swear on the Styx I will not let you touch your weapons and blue food for a year. " She said coldly. My eyes widened in horror when I heard the threat. She then let go of my ear and pulled me to her chest. "Please , never do this again. I can't lose my baby boy."
Seeing my mother like this made guilt flood into my heart. I hugged her back fiercely and cried," I promise I will never do this again. I am sorry Mom."
She nodded and got up. Smiling softly, she said," You are forgiven. But that doesn't mean you are off the hook. No blue food for you for a month , young man. And the time that you spend in your physical training, will be used for your extra classes with Aphros." She exited the room after this.
My mouth had dropped and I was ready to burst out crying at this punishment. I was snapped out of my stupor when someone cleared their throat. I turned and paled at the sight. My father was standing with his arms crossed across his chest. His face was emotionless, but his eyes were filled with anger, disappointment and worry. Beside him stood Triton, who looked worried, but was smirking at me.
"Thanks little bro. If you hadn't killed the beast, I would be in Tartarus right now. You save me centuries worth of pain and boredom." I nodded to him and he left the room. This left me with my father. I gulped and looked him in the eyes. What I saw made me feel even worse. There were some tears present at the corners of his eyes. I had never seen my dad cry. Seeing him like this made me angry with myself. I should have listened to him.
" I am disappointed in you Perseus." He started. I flinched when he used my full name. He only called me Perseus when he was disappointed in me, even if he was angry, he would call me Percy.
"You not only defied my orders and went to
fight the beast, but also almost got killed. You should know that when I say something, I mean it for your own good. I knew that you would not be able to fight it. Hell, you would have been killed by the injuries if your father wasn't Tho... " He stopped himself before he could reveal anything. But I perked up at this information.
"You know who my birth father is? " I asked. He nodded.
"Yes I know who it is, but I can't tell you about it. I have sworn on Chaos's name that I will not tell you. You will know it when it is time. Anyways, do you know how worried your mother and I were?" He asked. I lowered my head in defeat. I knew that I was at fault .
"Sorry father. I promise that this will never happen again. " I said quietly. He stared at me for a minute before he nodded slowly.
"That's good to hear. Well , on different matters now. Congratulations, you are officially the first mortal ,hell you are the first being since the primordials who has succeeded in slaying Leviathan. Not even Zeus was able to kill it when we first fought it. Zeus, Hades and I had to use our combined powers to create a prison and place Leviathan in it to subdue it. You have officially become a legend in the seas. "
I nodded slowly at this. 'Great. More attention now. Just what I wanted ', I thought bitterly. Unlike my father and brother, I liked to keep minimum attention on myself.
My father continued speaking," As spoils of war, there were two nails from the monster left. One of them is imperial gold and the other is celestial bronze, both are completely indestructible. " I nodded again, remembering the metal that the Romans used . Yes, I had been taught about the roman camp and their features by my mother. My father had also taught me Norse mythology, why I did not know. But he insisted that it would come in handy one day.
He waved his hand and two nails, both the size of me appeared beside him. He placed them beside me on my bed. "You can create whatever you want using the two nails. Take care my son. And your mother's punishment is final so don't even try to argue with it. "
I nodded in acceptance and defeat. He smiled and kissed me on the forehead. Then he left the room after switching off the light. As soon as he left , I lied down and let darkness take me over into a peaceful sleep.
Flashback end
Thinking about it, my hand subconsciously went to my waist where my throwing knives rested. They were made of Leviathan's celestial bronze nail. There were six knives which were enchanted to return to my sheath. The imperial gold nail I had made into twin roman gladiī. They were hidden in the form of two rings on my left hand.
Then my attention went to the scars on my chest which had come from fighting Leviathan. One was a deep red scar near my abs where his teeth had grazed me. Another three scars on my upper right chest were where his claw had hit me. Then there was the black red scar from where my rib had come out. I personally thought that these scars made me look badass. Father had given me an option that if I wanted he could fade the scars, but I had declined and told him that these were the reminders of my first battle. They showed who I am.
He had smiled proudly at me and said that it was the exact same thing my real father would have done. Speaking of my physique, I had been told time and again by my sparring partners and trainers that I had an incredible body. I was 5'4, which was tall for an eleven year old. I also had four pack abs.
This was the reason I could never practice without a shirt. Whenever I practiced without a shirt on, a crowd of mermaids and even some mermen would gather around me (most of them just drooling at me rather than watching me practice).
My father slapped me on the back of my head to get my attention. " So if we are done, you are free to leave my boy." He said.
I nodded and gave him a hug. "Have you spoken to your mother and brother?"
I nodded in affirmation to his question. "Bye father. I hope to meet you soon. "
He nodded and gave me a small smile. Then, I left the palace and started swimming towards the top.
After about fifteen minutes, I reached the surface of the ocean. As I stepped on the beach, I saw that I had landed on a deserted part of the beach. Beside me, there was a small forest type of woods. Hmm. So I can take the normal way and reach camp safely or go through the woods and face many monsters. Guess which I chose.
"Beware monsters, the Destroyer is coming".
