The sea and Foam
*** important! I still need to know if you guys want me to continue this version of the story or go back to the previous version and fix it. As well as if you guys want me to take Zeus into the future or past. If I were to do the future it would be the POV of Percy and Aphrodite. While the past is the backbones of the story and how this situation fully arose (spelling?) i will leave the link below. ***

I may as well progress the story a bit more while waiting on some responses. On where to take this story. However, I had forgotten to mention that for now I shall make this story take place very shortly after book five of the Olympian series. I must catch up before I take on the daunting task of trying to catch up to Rick Riordan's repertoire of novel's.
So, for now enjoy chapter two of this redo to my interesting pairing on Percy and Aphrodite.
Aphrodite's Slumber
Hearing the door close I begin to cover my ears with my pillow. Every time daddy comes back from a trip he seems angry the first night. Not to mention that the lightning doesn't help either. I wait a couple of minutes for the lightning and thunder to stop. Once the pitter patter of rain starts to come in I begin to put my head down on the pillow and hope for a goodnight sleep.
Gods bless me as I Begin to recall the same dream. I walk towards a door where there is a mirror waiting. I peer through it and begin the same process. I see a weak and skinny boy with what seemed to be a hard reed of some sort except it extended into a sword. I keep watching as he ends up going through many trials until he can fend off an army and defeat a god with the help of his water powers. something with the way he used them just seem to fascinate me. I wanted to continue looking into his story, but I was suddenly ripped apart from it.
Almost like a thread I felt the weaves spinning into an opposite direction from him and I began to arrive at a different door instead. I open it and inside I begin to see a scene from the papyrus that daddy didn't get to show me. It was a scene in which I see a girl who is like me. Her hair kept changing until it landed on the same hair color and eyes as the boy from her dreams. She was running in along a world seemingly devoid of life. The ground which I know for being green with grass is now stained with red from blood and the natural color of the dirt itself. The plants which once held a semblance of radiance is now fallen over and wilting. And while there is water, much of it is gone or dried up.
"you are finally going to get what you deserve for entrapping your kids and turning the land into a barren wasteland!" she screamed as she wielded her spear and began running.
The crunch in each step as she ran up and used the ball of her foot to rise above the ground. She thrust the weapon forward with her weight. A speed that can only be replicated that can only be replicated by pigeon the spear drove through the male figure. Right into the eye (of the tiger XD).
"isn't a beauty to see." a ghastly voice said next to her
"what are you?!" I screamed as I fell to the floor. Changing the mirror back to its original appearance.
"Just a passerby enjoying the view"
The figure began to slowly reveal itself as a male figure with one eye and a giant gash going across his stomach. What was left of him appeared to be that of a young man. With jet black hair and an amber eye that seems to hold an indefinite amount of anger.
"you see I am just passing by to see how my curse is holding up." he spoke with an unwavering smile while keeping the same gaze on me.
"you know... my daddy says I shouldn't talk to strangers. Especially ones that have only one eye and a cu- cu- cut across their stomach." I begin to stutter.
He laughs heartily and explains. "I like your attitude! But no, we have met once or twice before this. It's just that the curse of time placed upon you is making it a little hard for you to remember."
Not knowing what he meant I began to question him on the curse itself. But my only response was "you will know soon enough child." and vanished in front of my sight.
"you could have at least told me how to escape from this nightmare" I breathe out.
I begin to leave form the door I entered while taking one last glance back at the mirror before making my less than spectacular exit. Once I exit the door, the only think I see is a rush of air and my head hitting a hard surface.
"ow! Stupid floor!" I scream as I begin stomping on the ground where my face contacted the stone floor. I begin to use my magic to turn my nightwear into a dress befitting that of a bride and teleported into dad's room. Not wasting any time, I begin to jump on the bed screaming daddy wake up!
"sweetie can daddy sleep in a little more. I need to rest from all the horseplay in the ocean yesterday."
"no, we have to get ready now!" I begin to pull on his cheeks waking up mom in the process.
"APHRODITE! Can you not see that we are trying to sleep? And another thing, why are you wearing a bridal gown when it is a birthday party"
"What do you mean? I am getting ready for marriage" I puff out my cheeks and cross my arms around my chest.
Zeus quickly picks me up and teleports me to my room. At some point throughout he even changed my dress back into my nightwear. And began to tuck me back into my bed. A look of sorrow and anger streaking across his face. He always seems to be bad whenever I do anything that is about any relationship.
"salty go back to sleep and stop trying to get married on your birthday when you are only just getting to eight years old."
"but dad!"
"no buts young lady. Next time your come to disturb us mommy will kill not only you but me." he quickly retorted. While wiping a patch of sweat of his forehead.
"Now don't worry you know how we gods are we can get everything set up less than a minute before your party starts." he does the usual joke and he leaves.
Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed this addition. By the way that was kronos but a different version of him. I am going to elaborate once I get into Zeus's POV. I didn't want anything that could fully interfere with Riordan's world but still use the characters and call back to it. Also, I forgot to mention that I was wrong about the username XD Thatwolfbutler is my friends name. Anyways don't forget to review/ message me if you guys want the pass or the future; or maybe you want me to fix the original and continue from there.
