[Randy's POV]

"Father…Time… as in the legendary figure from many of the Christmas stories" I inquired of the primordial man as he stood before me.

"Yes and no" he answered.

The man was confusing me more and more.

He elaborates

"I am indeed Father Time but not the one portrayed in all those Christmas specials I am the original"

Uranus smiled

"Walk with me Randall I have some things to discuss with you."

I couldn't see why not I shouldn't so I complied and walked with the elder man.

As the two strolled through clanking and grinding gears of the old clock tower the ancient man began to speak

"As you might know Randall the world is in turmoil and we do not need the tyrannical rule of the Asgardians nor the childish rein of the Olympians."

"Wait…the Asgardians and Olympians are real?"

I questioned in which he answered with a simple

"Yes, Randall my wife and I believe that it is time for a new pantheon of gods and the fates have chosen you and your brothers for this task"

I stared for a few minutes before I snapped out of my trance.

"My brothers and I?"

"Yes, my wife Gaia as already appeared to your younger brother Marcus it may take time for us to get through to Bradley since his depression is getting in the way of his thoughts so it makes it hard so we may have to hold off but that's actually for the better since the Olympians and Asgardians will try to destroy you once they find out"

My brain was in danger of short circuiting with all of this new information but one question was begging to be asked

"If I'm a god…what do I reign over"

Uranus smiled

"You were easier to convince than Marcus but it's expected of you but to answer your question you can say you are similar to both Athena and Poseidon…Randall you are God of the Seas and Wisdom in that affect you control the tides and currents, your domain is the world's oceans and all the creatures that inhabit it."

I nod as my poor fried brain cells try to sort through all of this new information but another question popped into my head

"Father Uranus…if I'm the sea god what does Mark control"

"He controls the very heavens, as well as weather and justice"

That explained a lot, that was why his emotions seemed to effect the weather.

"My time grows short Randall I shall deposit you where I found you but I'll give you a warning that my wife forgot to give your brother so be sure to pass it on…

be mindful when you assume your immortal form if any mortals look at you directly your divine power will destroy them and

note your emotions as they can cause tsunamis and hurricanes and my last warning is to beware Poseidon and Njord"

and before I could ask who Njord was I was swept up by mist and when it cleared I was back in the hallway and not even a second had passed.

My mind was reeling still but my memory was telling me that I had heard the name Njord before and I remembered that Njord was the barbaric Norse god of the seas he was the Viking equivalent of Poseidon and I guess I'm their American counterpart for lack of a proper title.

I decide to take walk it always helps me to think not before I quickly change out of my sopping wet shorts which took me two minutes.

As I walk out the door I look up at the sky and see the atmosphere look peaceful but I recall that is to be expected seeing as Mark was sleeping serenely right now and then I look at the lake and it looks unsettled with quick choppy waves crashing on the shore.

I pretty sure it's like that because of my nervous mind.

I walk along banks until I'm in my secret spot, it's a spot I found about four years ago it was totally secluded and had a big rock that overlooked the lake and gave a breathtakingly stunning view.

I sit in my favorite spot right on top of the colossal boulder, my knees pulled up to my chest as I watch the lake.

I then notice my dad still screaming around in the speed boat and I get an evil little glint my eye,

time for some payback and a nice little test run with my new powers.

I concentrate on the water out around my dad and watched as a wave narrowly missed him but I could tell it scared him

I just sat there for another hour before I got an idea, a clichéd idea but an idea nonetheless.

I stood up a focused all my energy on the lake and spread my arms wide and as I did the lake began to part down the middle or at least the middle from where I was standing and it kept going until reached the other side and I'm up there smiling like a moron.

(Mark's POV)

I wake to find myself in nothing but my underwear and I remember what Randy did for me and I felt something bubble up inside of me, it was an emotion I hadn't felt in three years I felt accepted, Randy had shown me that even though he was usually an evil and mischievous kid he was still my big brother and he did love me.

I climb out of bed and get dressed and no not in my typical black no this time I dressed a little similar to how I did when I was younger.

I walk out of the cabin and take huge whiff of the refreshing breeze my reverie is interrupted by my dad

I see him scarcely avoid a semi-large wave which was hilarious I decide to sit down on the lakeshore and enjoy the serenity of Houghton Lake about forty-five minutes later I hear a large rumbling sound

I open my eyes and look and notice the water beginning to froth up but I couldn't see why;

I stand on top of the picnic table in order to get a better look and what I see makes my jaw drop the river was splitting right down the middle like in the Ten Commandments.

I look start scanning the banks looking for the source and expected to see a flying saucer or Moses even but I saw Randy standing on top of a huge boulder with his arms spread why and look of utter amazement on his face.

I realized that Father Uranus must have spoken to him while I was asleep but being the man controls time I doubt it took longer than a minute.

I wanted to get up there so bad but I didn't know if I could get there fast enough to catch Randy and then I blinked when I reopen my eyes I was standing right in front of my brother whose expression had changed and has a hand on his chest.

"Don't…do that Mark…you nearly gave me a heart attack" "

Sorry…hang on how'd I get up here?"

"Good question all I saw was a flash of lightning and you just materialized in front of me."

"So I guess Uranus appeared to you in the same way Gaia appeared to me"

Randy nods

"Oh I need to give you the warning the Father Time gave me; be careful when you assume your immortal from normal people cannot view you directly in that from otherwise it will destroy them and I sure you are aware your moods and emotions control the weather as mine control the oceans and any body of water apparently oh and beware of the Olympian, Zeus and the Asgardian; Odin they are the Norse and Greek sky gods and your rivals."

I had almost forgot about Asgard and Olympus they would be our adversaries and damn good ones too since they have over five thousand years of experience.
