A/N: Wow! I didn't think the fic would be that much of a hit. Maybe I'm just used to never getting reviews when doing Teen Titan fics. Because of those reviews and hits, I've decided to put more thought into this fic. Sorry that I couldn't respond to all the reviews, though. I'll respond next time. And I'm sorry for the delay. My computer wasn't working. With that said, enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 2 Knowing Your Place

With a loud scream, Danny fell through the portal and landed with a great splash on the other side. Confused and deeply disoriented, the teen floundered around in the river he had landed in. He choked on water as his head bobbed up and down on the surface of the rushing river.

Looking ahead, Danny saw a rock sticking out of the roaring rapids, and it was coming up fast. Desperately, the teen tried to swim out of the way. The problem was that he was a pathetic ant in a stream. He had no control over the currents pushing him onward. All he could do was try to keep his head above the water.

Danny slammed harshly against the rock, right away blacking out and turning back into human form. He slipped under the surface for a few long seconds. For a dangerous amount of time the ghost boy was under water before coming back up. With a sharp gasp, Danny's head broke the surface. He tumbled back under as the current took him further down stream.

"Help!" Danny screamed as his head came back up for a second for air. He knew his life was going to be cut short if he didn't get someone to help him. The odds of something hanging around river rapids were slim, but at least he was trying.

He was just slipping back under when a hand suddenly latched onto Danny's out stretched arm. Danny gave a sharp yell as he was sharply pulled backwards by the person who had grabbed his wrist. Water sprayed around the boy as he was slowly pulled toward the shore.

"Pull!" a man's voice yelled above the roar of the rapids. Danny clutched the hand that was saving his life till he felt himself out of the water. He gasped for breath on his hands and knees on the grassy bank he had been pulled onto.

"He's cute!" a flirtatious girl's voice giggled.

"Give him some room, Foam!" chided the guy's voice again. "Go find that bag of his that was carried farther down steam." There was a pause. "Go!" the voice ordered sharply.

Danny looked up and jumped in surprise. A man was leaning down in front of him. But what had surprised Danny was the fact that the man had the body of a horse and the torso of a man. The horse part of the guy was auburn brown. He had strong, powerful legs like a race horse. The human part of him was built too, complete with a six pack. His face was sharp with brown eyes and auburn hair.

"Where did that portal send me?" Danny asked himself out loud when seeing the centaur. He rubbed his head in disbelief while muttering, "I must have really bumped my head back there."

"Yes, you were very fortunate to still be alive," the centaur said with a smile. "The gods must really favor you."

Danny stared at his rescuer for a second, a blank expression on his face. Finally he broke out in a smile and said, "Oh! I know what you are! You're a centaur! Who knew I'd remember that from 7th grade history?" He gave a small laugh at the ironic thought.

The centaur gave Danny a worrisome look before saying, "You must be suffering some brain damage from that hit. But my name is Adelphos. What is your name, young demigod?"

"Danny," Danny answered while slowly getting to his unsteady feet. His clothes were soaked to the core and making him cold. He shivered slightly as a light breezed filtered through the forest he was in. Large, towering trees surrounded the two. They held rich, green leaves and multicolored flowers just beginning to blossom. It was the beginning of spring.

"Oh, as in the Hebrew name Daniel?" Adelphos asked with interest.

"Um, sure," Danny said, not wanting to cause confusion even though he was experiencing enough at the present. Danny believed he was only in a dream and was going with it. But boy was it a vivid dream!

"What does it mean?" Adelphos asked. Danny shrugged. "It must have a meaning," Adelphos said while crossing his arms. "A god wouldn't just let a mortal name their child…unless the god seriously didn't care or didn't know about the birth."

"I really don't know what it means," Danny said. "Sorry."

"You are a strange one, young demigod," Adelphos said with a grin.

"I found his bag!" a girl's voice said from Danny's right.

"Whoa!" Danny shouted when he looked down to see a girl who only came up to his hip. She had sea foam colored skin. Her features were soft but still beautiful. Her hair was only a mass of water constantly shifting around her head. Her eyes were the same. She wore only a skimpy blue top and bottom to cover her small body.

The river nymph giggled playfully as she handed Vlad's sack to Danny. "My name is Foam," the nymph said, a smile coming to her blue lips as she stared up at Danny.

"Get out of here!" Adelphos snapped at the nymph. The girl hissed slightly at the centaur before jumping into the rushing river and melting into its waters. Danny saw her wave to him beneath the surface. Absently, the teen waved back.

"Water nymphs are too flirtatious for their own good," Adelphos muttered with a sigh. He eyed the sack in Danny's hand and asked, "What's in there? Are you on a quest for a god?"

Danny opened the sack and looked inside, confused to see only one object. The others must have had slipped out on the ride down the river. The only thing left was a three pointed fork like thing.

As Danny searched the bag for anything else he might have missed, a shiver went down his spine. He saw a blue mist escape his mouth, indicating another ghost was nearby. Frowning, Danny glanced to his left and right for the ghost.

"Danny," Adelphos said with panic in his voice. "Is your father Poseidon?"

Danny shot him a quizzical look while saying, "No. Why?"

The teen got his answer as a wave slammed against his back, forcing him into a tree trunk a few yards away. With a moan, Danny got back to his feet and looked for his attacker as he went ghost. He didn't get a chance to get a glimpse as he was suddenly hit with another powerful wave of water from behind. It forced him to his hands and knees on the now soggy grass.

"You shouldn't have come back, thief!" a man's voice boomed in anger. "Now you will suffer the price of making the gods angry!"

Thinking quickly, Danny shot into the air as another wave washed over the grassy clearing from the river. Now Danny saw the person attacking him. It was a ghost. He levitated above the river with a spinning ball of river water formed by his hands that were raised above his head. The ghost had glowing blue eyes that were narrowed dangerously on Danny.

The ghost was clothed in a short, white toga-like outfit. Sandals adorned his bare feet. A blue three pointed crown was placed upon his mass of brown curly hair. He was a fairly young ghost, maybe in his yearly thirties. And like the centaur, the man was strongly built and in incredible shape.

"What do you want, dude?" Danny asked the ghost. "And what's with the toga, man? They were cool in the Greek and Roman days, but these days all they are good for are toga parties."

The ghost only growled as he flung his ball of water at Danny. The teen avoided the water by simply turning it to ice and letting it drop to the ground. More balls of water were already on their way toward Danny as he disposed of the first.

"Jeez!" Danny muttered as he had to quickly fly out of the way to dodge the boulder sized water balls. "I wouldn't want to get into a water balloon fight with you…unless you were on my team of course."

"Danny! What are you doing?" Adelphos yelled up at him. "Demigods should never fight a god!" A deeply worried look had planted itself on his face.

Danny glanced down at his centaur friend while answering, "I'm obviously trying to dodge the water guy's—."

The teen was cut off in mid sentence as a giant hand made from water protruded out of the river and grabbed Danny. The hand pushed Danny against a luminous tree and wrapped itself around both the boy and the trunk, pinning Danny there.

"Ah! This dream is getting painful," Danny choked out. The grip around his body tightened as the ghost flew toward his caught prey. Suddenly Danny realized this wasn't a dream. He had been pushed into a ghost portal. Portals could send you to different times.

Fear gripped Danny's heart as realized he had been sent back all the way to the Ancient Greece days, where gods were considered real! And it was at that moment that Danny became a believer of gods as well. The Greek gods weren't exactly kind to mortals, he remembered from history class. He was in way over his head!

"Where is it, thief?" the god or ghost demanded as he shoved his face into Danny's.

Danny smiled back at the god nervously. "I think you've mistaken me for someone else," he told Poseidon. "If you let me go, I'm sure we can clear up this mistake and get back whatever you think I have." As he said this, Danny fiercely searched his brain for anything he could remember about Poseidon back from 7th grade history class. It would really come in handy for the near future.

The god didn't answer the teen as he made the hand wrapped around the tree tighten. Danny quickly turned intangible to get out of the suffocating hold. Eyes glowing, the teen threw a few rays at the god. The rays hit the ghost in the shoulder, producing an angry yell from the man.

"You shouldn't have done that," Adelphos called up to Danny.

Danny said nothing as he wearily glanced down then back up at the god. The ghost grew in size till it was like a giant towering high above Danny. The boy's jaw went slack as he saw this. The hair on his back of his neck started to rise, barely hinting at the ominous feeling in the air as the ghost grew.

"Is it too late to say sorry?" Danny managed to ask with a wince.

Now the ghost was at least three stories tall. His crowned head was well above the tree tops. Danny felt like a pitiable little bug ready to be relentlessly squashed under the ghost's heel. He was only the size of the ghost's pinky finger. There were only a few other ghosts that Danny had come into contact with that were this huge. Usually those were impossible to take down just by himself.

All the ghost had to do was simply raise his hand to attack now. Water came out of nowhere and smashed into Danny like a brick wall. It was like he was back in the rapids again. The ghost forced the poor teen against trees, smashed him against the ground, and a few times froze the water around him then let the giant ice cube fall back toward the earth.

Finally, as if bored with playing with his food, the god stopped his unrelenting attacks. With narrowed, dark eyes, the god watched as Danny landed roughly on the ground and got to his hands and knees. The teen coughed up what seemed like gallons of water with a small moan of pain.

Glancing up, Danny spotted Vlad's bag with the fork-like thing in it. Eyes going wide, the teen remembered what that thing was. It was Poseidon's symbol of power!

"His trident!" Danny said, joy filling his voice.

Danny lunged for the sack with the treasure in it just as the god raised his hand for another attack. The teen snatched up the bag and flung out the trident just as a wave of water was about to crash right into him. Danny flinched as he prepared for the hit, but none came.

Slowly, Danny opened his eyes and looked up at the god frowning down upon him. Danny gulped before stretching out the trident toward the ghost. "I believe this is yours," he said hopefully. "But I didn't steal it."

The ghost god shrunk down to its normal size before grabbing the trident away from Danny. "It does not matter if you stole it or not now," he said coolly to Danny. Poseidon was on the brink of exploding with anger. "Who do you belong to?" he shouted at Danny, trying desperately to keep control over his emotion.

Danny winced at the small outburst. "What?" he asked as the god's words sunk into his head. "I don't belong to anyone, dude."

"Perfect," Poseidon growled in disgust. "One of my siblings has abandoned another one of their children."

Danny scratched the back of his head as an awkward silence settled upon them. "Um…I didn't steal your trident, um…Poseidon," Danny said to apologize. "Sorry that it was stolen, but it wasn't me. But we're cool now, right?" Poseidon shot him a fierce glare. "Hey, I gave you your trident back!" Danny defended himself.

Poseidon shoved his face into Danny's. The boy tried to step away. He gave an alarmed yelp when he saw that his feet had been frozen to the soggy grass from the ghost's water powers. He looked back up with trepidation to stare into the ice cold eyes of the furious god.

"You, young demigod, better find your place soon," Poseidon snarled harshly in Danny's face. "A demigod does not attack or talk back to any god or they will surely be punished. Because you have no god to label you, I am letting you go just this once. Got that?"

"Yeah, sure," Danny said quickly with his hands raised slightly to show the other ghost he wasn't meaning to threaten him in any way. The god glared daggers at Danny as he backed away and turned invisible, letting Danny out of his frozen bind at the same time. In the matter of a few brief seconds, the god was gone.
