Thank you to all those who reviewed and favourited and even all y'all who took the time to read this.

I have to apologise for taking so very long to post this. I actually did not know how I wanted the story to play out when I first started it. But now, that I do have an outline, hopefully I will be able to put out new chapters soon. I always enjoy hearing your thoughts and comments about this story so do leave a review!

Now, onto the story!

Flashforward to 16 years later

Triton stalked towards his room and sank into his bed. He sat on the edge of it, still in his battle regalia, with his head in his hands.

So lost were he in his thoughts that he did not hear the door being knocked upon thrice. The knob turned and in entered a young lady bearing similar resemblance to the sea prince.

"Dear brother, where did you go that you did not hear me enter at all?" She inquired with a quirked smile.

Triton looked up at the sound of her voice and tried to smile back.

Her smile turned into a deep frown when she saw how defeated he was. She walked forward and sat next to him.

"I wish I was not here, sister. The war is wearing down Atlantis. We may not win." He croaked, tears filling his eyes. He was in utter despair for all he could see was the bleakness of future. Victory was a distant dream and he too far to reach it.

She smiled gently, though she worried greatly for his state of mind. "Have hope still. The war is not over yet. We may still come out victorious. Believe in ourselves, in father, in Perseus." She took his hand in hers and squeezed gently.

Upon the mention of their youngest brother, Triton was filled with anger. "Believe in Perseus? Hah! How great is he to deserve my faith?!" He muttered scornfully. He pulled back his hand and stood up.

"That half-blood upstart is not that mighty! Father swore an oath not to sire anymore kids and yet still we have a mortal sibling! It is because he exists that the Great Prophecy is even coming true!" He paced back and forth frustratedly.

"He should just-"

"I know you will not finish that sentence."

His sister stood up with such abruptness it completely silenced him. Eyes ablaze with a fierce protection towards their youngest brother, Triton was suddenly reminded of who was older between the two. Her powerful presence enveloped the room and threatened to suffocate him.

Despite this, he still stood his ground and faced her squarely. "Why do you defend him so? Why do you continue to protect him? He has done nothing to deserve your loyalty! He is the reason why mother cries at night! He is the reason why our family is-"

Tears escaped from his eyes as he yelled out in frustration.

Immediately, all tension in the room started to dissipate and leave. She strode forward and hugged her brother tight.

"I thought it would be different. I thought father would finally stay. I was a fool." He spit out, bitterly.

"You and I both know it is not in his nature to be grounded to anything or anyone. The sea cannot be restrained. It flows freely and goes where it wishes." She pulled back from him and sits both of them down on the ground.

"Father may have his whims but he will always come back."

She looked at him squarely. "Perseus is not to be blamed for our father's indiscretion. He is one of us. He is a child of the sea, just like you and I."

Triton stared into his sister's eyes and he could see love and determination for their younger brother. But there was something else, something he couldn't quite figure out.

"Why?" He inquired softly.

"Why what?"

"You do not know Perseus, nor do I. Why does he mean so much to you?" He narrowed his eyes at her, trying to figure out her true intentions.

She simply laughed lightly. "He is our brother. Do I need further reason to care?"

She said it with such confidence that he was inclined to believe her. Nothing about her betrayed an inkling of deception. Her smile, genuine and posture, relaxed.

"You should go before Oceanus decides to attack again. Father needs you." She prompted him gently, reminding him of his duty to Atlantis.

"Yes, yes I should." He stood up and walked to the door. As he opened the door, he turned back and looked at his sister. "Thank you, Kym."
