Chapter 2 Quest for the first ones.
Perseus Pov: where we left off
I got a quest from Pontus the primordial god of water to retrieve his weapon of power, his trident. It was taken by another primordial and he knows that it's Thalassa, apparently she thought I was a good child so she stole his trident and told him that I had to retrieve it or else she wouldn't give it back, also after I am done he is supposed to bless me as well... I guess the sea will be my dominant power eh?
1 week later: Perseus pov:
Well I was supposed to find the trident deep in the ocean, the deepest part, a huge trench to be exact, and I was supposed to go down there and I would meet someone. That somone would train me for two years in a special place where 2 years is 2 months on Earth, so once if I can complete that training I will get a hint to where the Trident is then I would get one month to find it, so it's supposed to test my intelligence and physical capabilities and see if I'm worthy of the blessing from a Primordial.
When I got to the trench I looked inside. It seemed to go on forever, it was about 2000 feet wide and it went down a mile before I couldn't see anything but darkness. I sensed
water down as deep as 7 miles beneath the surface. I jumped down and began to descend into the abyss. I felt the pressure increase rapidly, even with the blessings of my siblings I started to
feel some of the pressure once I got near the bottom. My feet touched the rocky bottom with a little thud as I realized I weigh a lot more down here. I tried to walk but I realized I could
barely lift my legs.
I began to walk very slowly around trying to find this teacher. I finally found him about 10 minutes later, it was a man with a blue scaly face and a blue scaly body, he had a
Chiton on and seemed to be dry. He eyed me like he was sizing me up before nodding and walking forward extending his hand to me. I just thought about who he was before I realized that I
should shake his hand. He had a strong grip so I gripped back and he seemed to smile a bit. When he spoke it sounded ancient and powerful. "Hello, I am Hydros Primorial god of water as
Pontus is the Primordial of liquid, so I am here to train you." I remembered my quest and realized that this would be a lot harder than I thought as I was trained by a Primordial. "Yes lord,
also how is the time different here?" He smirked at me, showing me his sharp shark like teeth. "Well this is where Primordial Sea deities are the most influential, so we can control it, also
you see I am here to train you so no more talking at the end of the day we will talk for now you must run the width of the trench 2 times and don't whine about the pressure just do it.
I walked over to one wall and began to run. After 5 minutes I was sweating profously and was only half way across. 25 more minutes later I was done, I had ran as fast as I can
down here which is pretty much nothing compared to on the surface but I knew I'd get better.
"Well now that's finished, I want you to just walk with me and talk, you will keep my pace and we will converse for 2 hours. This walking will be hard trust me." I thought that
the walking would be easy but I was wrong, we walked at a good pace and with all of that pressure it was insanely hard. I talked to Hydros about my powers where I am with them and how
I am as far as I can until I get partial immortality then I will train even more. After a while he began telling me of how I would get blessed by him and Pontus so my powers would get to
1.5 of Oceanus's level and I would also get full immortality later on like 4 more years after partial immortality because he claims that if I succeed the Primordials may take interest in me.
"Well now that we're to my home we will enter, and yes that cave is my home for the time being." I just nodded my head and looked at the cave, it was a perfect 100 by 100 foot
circle in the wall of the trench and it had everything in it, it had a training room with 1000 pound dumbells and 200 pound and everything inbetween, he had 3 bedrooms a few bathrooms
and a place with no water and no water pressure that had the word LOUNGE over it. I would be living here for the next 2 years... well this should be fun.
One year later: Perseus pov:
The last year has been literal hell, I had to do 1000 push ups in this pressure 3 times a week with 10,000 sit ups, 250 pull ups, and a full sprint all the way across the trench 100
times. I was currently 6 foot 3 365 pounds I had lost all of my fat to the point that I was at .01% bodyfat, but I was perfectly healthy the loss of the fat didn't make me unhealthy. I had lost
height from all the pressure I didn't mind, I didn't like being that damn tall but apparently I can change height and my proportions will change with me. I was able to punch with enough
force to bread a celestial bronze shield, but I have to have time to concentrate and a punch, and it can't be moving. So my punches are lethal to regular demi-titans.
I had learned new ways to use my water powers and my fighting skill with and without weapons had increased drastically. I was as good as Kronos my father now.
One year later: Perseus pov:
I was now doing 1500 push ups 3 times a week along with 15,000 sit ups. 400 pull ups, and a a full spring all the way across the trench 200 times now, I had grown an inch and
packed on another 9 pounds, I didn't gain weight from muscle like crazy because I had lost almost all my water weight as i didn't need it anymore, my body was storing enough power and
energy that the water that is used to make mortals isn't needed for me since I am now 85% immortal. I don't know why but the work with the Primordial increased the amount of ichor in me.
It was finally time to leave and retrieve the Trident of Pontus, but also time to say goodbye to Hydros... sadly.
Finally Hydros spoke up "You see yong child you have an interesting path ahead of you I can sense it, but do not dispair remember what I have told you and don't let your brain
make you full of hubris. I won't master Hydros, I will make you proud and remember none of your advice has fallen on deaf ears." I wasn't lying either I really took his words to heart.
5 months later Thalassa's palace
I had been scouring the ocean for a whilewhen I finally found the palace. It was breathtakingly beautiful. A massive palace standing over 200 stories tall made sea green marble and
blessed primordial steel. there were domes here pillars there and finally a huge domed cylinder in the center with the sign of Thalassa on it, a huge dun dun dun... 4 pronged trident. ...yeah,
um... sea deities gotta get some more symbols of power I mean like DAYYYUUMMM. Anyways, as I walked up to the golden gates at the from I was stopped by two very overly muscled
men in celestial bronze armor with a spear and sheathed xipthos at their waist. "Halt! Who are you and what do you require." The one ont he left said in a deep booming voice. "I am Perseus
and I am here to retrieve Pontus's symbol of power from Thalassa. Ohhh, yeah well yes follow burk over there, she's been waiting for you." I found it hard not to laugh at the guard's name
but nevertheless followed him to meet Thalassa who is apparently awaiting me.
1 hour later
"... so yeah we set it up to see if you are worthy of this gift and the one we will get to later but yes we staged it." I had just been talking to Thalassa and Pontus who apparently
staged this as a test for me. "Well what is the gift you have for me then? Ah, straight to the point." Pontus said as he then stuck out his hand and a golden trident covered in green swirls on it
appeared out of thin air (Thin water?) and handed it to me.
"Here this is your's now, you see the gift we have for you will give you umm special abilities and this will assist you in the future along with assist you holding and controling
your power we give to you but that will be explained to you later." So I was getting yet another weapon, that I barely know how to use. Well other than basics shown to my by Oceanus. As
if reading my mind, which they probably were Thalassa said. "Don't worry child we will gift you with the knowledge to wield that weapon when you choose your second gift.
Before I could ask what my second gift was there were a bunch of brilliant silver flashes in the room. AN: Hey sorry for the gay spacing and terrible paragraph stuff but it wouldn't let me edit it so well I'm sorry but the next chapter should be all good.
