The city of Atlantis

CHAPTER 5

when I got up to the surface, it was night and i lay down on the beach and was watching the night sky and slowly nodded off.

the next morning

I woke up when the sun hit my eyes, and just when i opened my eyes and a weave from sea came up and slashed me in the face, i started spitting out the salt water "hello young one." a new voice said

I looked up and Poseidon and telia were standing there. "Hello Poseidon, what can I do for you?" I asked.

"hello boy, stand up. I wish to speak to you." He told me, I stand up "I understand you saved my daughter from three boys chasing her. Is this true?"

I looked him in his sea blue's eyes "yes, Sir i saved her and walked with her out of the forest." I replied.

"Why?" He asked, staring back at me.

"Because it was the right thing too do simple as that." I replied, "beside I never could stand by and watch while someone needs help."

Poseidon seemed impressed by that. "I have a proposal for you."

I was confused. "what would that be?" I asked

"I want to offer my daughter's hand in marriage." Poseidon said

I thought it and tried to word respectfully "No sir." i replied

Poseidon got mad but a deep breath before me spoke "i believe you to a reasonable person, so i hope you have reasonable answer to tell me no."

"The answer is simple." i replied, i turned telia "i didn't know you." i turned back to Poseidon "howard i be agreeable to begin court her and maybe after three months we will marry." Poseidon thought it over and we came to an agreement.

Over the three months we fell in love, but even she knew and understood that my heart would always be long to Artemis, it was hard work on her part to get past my walls.

I were sitting on the beach with Telia sitting in my lap enjoying the sun set "herm can i ask you something."

"always my dear." i replied

"what does it feel like?" she asked lightly pinching my skin

"it's like an inch but all over." i replied, holding her closer

"so why don't you change back?" Telia asked turning around it my arms but didnt leave them.

"you besides hera instant need to remind me i'm a beast." i replied "this is a curse, one i can't out run."

she looked me in the eyes "that doesn't matter to me, to me you will always be the man who saved to life and trust me" she gave me a kiss"i have any intention the to see the beast on the night of our wedding."

after three months later

we had married it was a wonderful wedding she wear a white dress and was very beautiful but to my dislike we had the wedding in the temple of hera but it was Greek tradition so i grit my teeth and enjoy the wedding but i had grandma Isis and Hathor on my side to keep Hera in check.

later night i gave Telia the beast she wanted and we had an night of passion and love. when we fell sleep i had a dream an was visited by a the sphinx, he had the body of a lion and the head of a man, horus uses them to send messages "Lord Horus, wanted to me give me a message he and your sister Kebechet have settle on the other side of the great lake and have given birth to a feather serpent named Quetzalcoatl, he takes a lot after Horus and loves the sky and corn, that is all Lord Horus wanted." the sphinx than turned to dust

i woke up i turn to the night sky "thank you lord Hypnos and morpheus." i thought about about what uncle Horus "hmm Uncle Horus and my sister had a kid well serpent, that didn't take them very long." i thought, I want outside was walking along beach, i was simply enjoying the sound of the sea "hello little one." a voice said coming from the sea to look and Poseidon was walking from the sea.

"hello, father Poseidon." i replied, after i married his daughter, Poseidon wanted me to start calling him father Poseidon.

"I have a request of you." he replied "i wish for you to help my daughter rule atlatls.

I was shocked by that statement to say the least "but Telia is your daughter and she is the rightfull princess of atlantis, i can't take that anyway from her."

Poseidon understood and he a smile now his face "i'm not asking you rule Atlantis alone but helped Telia rule along side her."

Suddenly i heard a two sounds, i looked over at two were heading our way one a was a big black boar with two set of horns it was the calydonain boar and a griffin "hmm it seems hera are up to her old tricks again." Poseidon said

"it's seems ares is up to something as well." i said i halded my head over the sand "well let's show Hera, why it's a bad idea to mess with me." sand rose from the ground and formed into a bow and arrow i notched the arrow and pulled back the string "Duat firi," the arrow head lite up in a black flame and i let it fly hitting the griffin turning it into black sand when the boar got close i pulled out my Khopesh and cut the boars hand clean off turning into black sand "well that was easy, if hera going to try to kill me she'll have to try hard try sending the hyper and as for ares maybe next time trying using a chimera that might be fun."

"now back to what we were talking about, my daughter is a strong ruler but she would still need someone to rule along her." Poseidon said

i thought it over "i would be happy to help telia, but i still went telia to have the finial say." i replied, after half a year later me and telia gave brith to a son we named Agni kardia he had my hair and my eye's he had his mother skin and my my heart was full of love and hope, i could see that he would grow up with a pure heart sadly telia died after chid birth me and Poseidon gave her a Greece funeral .

i was heart broken when telia died so to keep something like this from happening again i gave the people of atlantis that mixed Egyptian magic and knowable from the land of Duat and Hades and made of the fountain of youth, it passed knowledge from person to person, gave people a longer life and gave older man a new life but something people didnt know was the fountain could see into the hearts of man. if a person had a medical problem the fountain could heal it and restore them to their prime.

for a while life was great for the people of atlantis, the kingdom was thrived, the people lived longer and our technology grew in leaps and bounds

but i couldnt be around all the time i took on the duty of ruling Atlantis which took up a lot of my time and when i wasn't ruling, i took up duty of taking souls to the underworld in order to take some of the weight off uncle Hermes and learned i how to forge from Hephaestus and warcraft from Ares.

too my pride Atlantis out shined the glory of Egypt but unbeknownst to me as Atlantis grew in power her people start grew in arrogance and as they grew the fountain started losing power the fountain could see the into the people hearts and it knew who was pure of heart and who was not.

my fighting skills with the sword and spear has improved but i learned that i was hopeless with a shield.

Three months later

Hephaestus was asked Hermanubis too come to his forge "hello master Hephaestus, what can i do for you?" i asked

"hello my boy, i believe it time to forge your own weapon." Hephaestus said, i was shocked to say the least my weapon would be my symbol every god had one mother was set of scales and a sword and dad was an ankh.

after hours of hard forging hammering and grinding we forged out a spear with two sides but this spear was if i rubbed over a spot on a handle and egyptian style axe formed on one side and on the other side was a hammer it was perfectly balanced in my hands but in other people it was weird in there hands.

back on the island of Atlantis but people catch on to it and started human sacrifice and it young man was used first but the fountain catch on and started lost strength again so people used younger and younger children eventually the fountain stopped working all together so the people resorted to doing something unforgiveable.

in a cave three women were one spinning, measuring and cutting the some string they had there eyes covered in a brown dress and one was older, mid-age and young these three was the moirea, they could see the past, present and the future and they were not happy with event's that were happening and decided to change the fate of the Olympians if Hera wished to play with the lives of mortals, who were they not the play along, they pulled some strings and set things into motion.
