I woke in a ring of black and gold flames with a huge scorched circle on the ground. I rocked up on my heels and observed the damage that I had caused when I was in my state of rage. The warehouse was hanging in tatters and there was strange markings all over the wall and they glowed slightly. I had a raging headache, but unlike the night before I had complete memory of what had happened. I pondered what the voice meant by when he said, "Not yet." I must have sat there for several hours for when I got up and exited the warehouse the sun was near setting. I traveled to the edge of the water and sat down on the dock and dangled my feet above the ocean. The ocean reminded me of happier times, but I brushed the feelings away, remembering what his father had done to me.

As I sat there a man came and sat next to me. He sat there for a while not saying a word. He looked at me after a while, but he was unable to see my face for it was coved in darkness by my hood. He reached up to brush it back, but I grabbed his wrist and said in a terrifying voice, "Do not even attempt it mortal." And I spat out the last word making him cringe.

"Do not slenderize me boy, I am not a mere mortal, what are you a Demi-god. I am more great and powerful than you shall ever be." I turned to him and saw that he did indeed radiate energy, power from that of the sea. I drew my swords and said, "Very well prove it." I stood up and backed away getting into a defensive position.

"Boy I do not wish to fight you, it will not end well." The mysterious man said and he turned to the sea. "I'm not giving you an option." I replied.

"Ahh, very well." And he stood up. He turned and his clothes shifted into armor of blue and black." The black part of it looked extremely familiar, but before I could put my finger on it, a trident made of steel ice was launched and I barely dodged it. It hit the warehouse behind me and the wall caved in on itself and it collapsed. I realized that he was a much more powerful enemy then I at first realized so I quickly shifted armor. When I had finished I barely once again dodged an incoming projectile. I then closed the distance between us and began a barrage of attacks. The stranger replied quickly with a sword of his own and matched my moves. He then took control of the battle and he began attacking offensively. He battered me back and forth without mercy. To end the battle he freighted left and then swung right causing me to lose my footing and fall to the ground. I was lying on the ground, berating myself for being overconfident. He said, "Remove your helm boy, for I want to see my opponent who fought well."

"I refuse," I said, hoping to retain some of my dignity and not allowing my opponent complete victory. I then felt myself lose all control of my limbs and my arms acted against me lifting themselves to my helm, and lifted it causing it to release and then removed the helm. I still had my head facing downwards, so he told me, "Lift your head boy." I refused once again and he sighed, "Boy won't you ever learn." The unwillingly my head began to rise. My eyes met his straight on and a surge of memory ran through me. The man had confidence in his eyes but then realization seized him. In a breathy voice he uttered, "Brother?
He staggered backwards and then turned and dove into the sea. I was unable to follow because he still had control over my body. I was unable to fully comprehend what had transpired and I was in total shock. After the sun had fully set I could feel the strangers grip lessening over me. I was finally able to channel enough strength from the moon, a special gift from Artemis, to break free of my mental bonds. While I was restrained I had figured out a plan of action and started towards the sea. Poseidon had some questions to answer, and he would indeed answer them.

I did a perfect dive into the water and propelled myself forward through the water like a torpedo. My eyes pierced through the darkness and scanned the ocean floor for the underwater kingdom. I searched for quite a while and finally my efforts were rewarded. I found a merman on guard duty patrolling the secret entrance. I drew two knives from my pouch and prepared to throw them. Then last second remembered that this man had done nothing wrong and my quarrel was not with him. Instead I replaced the knives and summoned electricity in an air bubble around my hand. I shadowed traveled behind the guard and placed my hand on his neck. He jolted once and then sank to the ground unconscious I dragged him to the side and removed his uniform and donned it myself. With the underwater helmet upon my head and I tied his wrists with rope. I then froze the rope to a nearby rock and left him there.

I opened the hatch and swam down the tunnel leading to the main courtyard. It was amazing, an entire civilization had sprung up since my last visit and there were families everywhere. There were children playing in the park and shrieks of laughter. It reminded me of my own childhood before my mom had married Smelly Gabe. I was shaken out of the trance by an older voice behind me shout, "Lieutenant!"

I turned to the voice and saw an severe looking merman swimming toward me and wagging his finger. "Get over here and listen." I swam over to where he was and saluted him saying, "Yes Sir!" because it felt right.

"Smart one huh, ha very well your now on guard duty for Poseidon's chambers. Now get going!" And he pointed.

I smiled underneath the mask for it was exactly what I needed and I swam in the direction he had pointed. It led me to a corridor and I traveled down it and I came to a giant sea green door. I looked around and saw that no one was watching. I shadow traveled underneath the crack and then materialized on the other side. I found Poseidon, Triton, and a cyclops leaning over a table observing something. Triton and Poseidon were arguing about something. I snuck up behind them to listen in. "Father listen the boy was unimportant and I said I was sorry. Now please will stop feeling bad for him, he was much too arrogant anyway."

"No I refuse to forgive you," At first I thought they were talking about me until, "Zanier was a great kid and he deserved your respect. Actually I have an idea ha, brilliant I must talk to Zeus, meeting dismissed."

Triton and the cyclops swam out another door and it left Poseidon sitting there alone. I swam up to a nearby column and hid behind it waiting for the right moment. But so etching gave me away and Poseidon turned to my hiding place trident in hand and said, "Who's there." He blasted a column to my left and I decided I needed to silence him before someone came. I lifted the spear off my back and flipped it to the trident side. I launched it with precise accuracy and it flew fast as light through the water propelled by the strength I had gained during training. It slammed into Poseidon and carried him back with his legs in the two spaces. Then I followed up by throwing two knives slamming into his sleeves and pinning him to the marble wall. I stepped out from behind the column and shot four arrows, pinning his flowing garment to the wall as well as landing right beside his ears nicking them. The golden ichor flowed out of the wounds and e gasped in shock at what had occurred. With my hood secured to make sure my identity was concealed, I walked up to him with my swords drawn. Seeing him there helpless made me angry that I had once honored and revered this man. I swatted his stomach with the flat side of my blade and he uttered an oof. In a voice that was a mere whisper he asked, "Who are you."

I ignored his question and held my blade against his neck, "Better question besides Percy Jackson and Zanier have you had any sons in the past 30 years."

He seemed baffled by this question, but he responded, "No."

"Damn it!" And I punched the wall leaving a crater.

"Who are you," he asked once again.

I placed my palm on his forehead and bashed it against the wall. He slumped down losing consciousness. "My name is Omega, and you will regret I was ever born."
