Poseidon:
Is the Greek god of the salt water sea; Poseidon is usually seen with a trident, a large gold three-headed spear, which is the source of all his powers.
He is the god of water, horses and earthquakes and was considered responsible for shipwrecks and drowning's.
As well as ruling the sea, he was able to come on land with the help of a sea horse, which could transform into a beautiful white stallion.
Other powers that the God possesses are:
Healing people
Transforming into a bull (this is how he was able to cause earthquakes)
Ayoko slowly placed the gold-banded book down onto the dark black ceramic titles. She thought over the information she had read before looking at her new god, who was sitting in the bathtub in cold, shallow water.
"So you can change into a bull?" she asked, a little nervously.
Her new god was nothing like Hera; he seemed to get angry very easily. Maybe all water people are grumpy, she thought. She remembered when Lucy had showed her Aquarius for the first time. The spirit had only been present for a few minutes, but in just that short time, she had managed to upset the famous wizard.
"Didn't you just read the information? Why are you asking me something you already know?" he replied with a frown.
"Well, you're a sea god. I thought you could only use your magic in water."
"I am a Greek god. I may be the ruler of the sea, but my powers can go beyond the ocean."
"So how would I summon you?"
"With water, of course," he replied, rather annoyed.
There was silence between the two as the bath faucet dripped. The wizard began wondering to herself about the sea god. She felt he was too overpowering; she was the wizard, so she should be in charge. That was the way magic worked wasn't it…?
"Is there any chance I could possibly trade you? I don't care for the way you speak to me. I am, after all, a wizard, and I will not be talked down to by…" she was cut off.
"You are only a wizard because you possess the power of the gods. You cannot pick and choose who you want. All the gods that you will hold have been chosen for you for a reason!" he bellowed.
"Well I don't want a grumpy old man!" she yelled back, standing up.
"You don't get to decide which gods you have!" he argued, the water under his body beginning to sway.
"No, I suppose not! But I can choose who I have by my side in battle." She frowned as she clenched her fists.
"You will need all of your gods. I am with you, even if you disapprove." Water sloshed over the side of the tub as he leaned forward.
"I won't need your help!" She screwed her face up at the raging god.
"So the young Ayoko thinks she knows the future now?" He raised his eyebrows as he leaned back against the wall, his body dripping with icy cold water.
"I never said I knew the future; I was stating that I won't ever need your help, you stupid old man!" she shouted as she stormed towards the door. Water gods/spirits are so argumentative! How does Lucy deal with it? she thought to herself. "I wish I never had you as my god!" she screamed in frustration as she clenched the door handle.
The water in the bathtub began to rise as the young girl pulled open the door.
"I'm not afraid of you." She looked the god in the eyes as she spoke. Her heart was racing as he now stood over the tub. She turned from him as she exited the room, but before her foot reached the carpeted hallway, she was thrown back with immense force. The young wizard went crashing backwards into the basin.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" She choked on the water that had entered her lungs.
Poseidon slammed the bathroom door with the rest of the water from the tub before laying down his trident on the tiled floor. The young wizard looked up at him as she held the back of her head; it pounded as the blood rushed to heal her wound. She gently pulled herself up and rested her back against the toilet. Poseidon sat over the bath.
"I don't want you to fear me, I want you to listen. I am here because I was chosen to be at your side," the old man said softly to the child. "You are a very powerful young wizard, but you need to understand that you are equal to the gods that you possess. We are here to guide you, to help you when you need it."
Ayoko looked into the water god's dark green eyes as he spoke to her.
"You are very strong, young Ayoko, but the power you hold is just a small fraction on how much power you will one day possess. I have always been around you, but your power wasn't strong enough for you to see me. It is the same with the other two gods that you will soon meet."
"Who are the other two gods?" she questioned.
"That is for you to find out. Your power will be tested each time he thinks you are ready to gain another god."
"Tested? You mean like when Kiyoshi fell through the ice?" She bit her lip at the memory of almost losing her brother.
Poseidon nodded his head without saying a word.
"I don't want to be tested. I can't go through losing my brother all over again…I can't." A small, silent tear trickled down her warm, soft cheek.
"I don't know how each test works; every god is different. For me to be at your side, your love was tested. For Hera it was trust. You passed each of these, Ayoko, because of the strength in your heart." The god leaned down and offered her his hand. The young girl placed her small palm over his, and he gently pulled her to her feet. "I believe you can do it. I have faith in you and so does he." The god smiled for the first time, and Ayoko wiped away her salty tears as his words brought comfort to her heart.
"He...?" she questioned.
Poseidon nodded his head.
"Who is he?"
"Once your brother has found his magic, you will truly be the Heaven's Angels."
"Heaven's Angels…" she whispered to herself.
"Ayoko, have you finished? It's almost time for a bedtime story," her mother called from the bottom of the stairs.
"Y-Yes, Mum, I'll be right there!" she answered.
"Wait," Poseidon called as the wizard opened the bathroom door. "You will need to ensure you have water on you at all times, if and when you choose to have me by your side." He smiled.
"But I can get water whenever I need it." She giggled as she pointed to the tap.
"There is no water in the desert."
"I don't think I will be going to any sand landscapes anytime soon." She shook her head.
"Here, take this." Poseidon handed her a small crystal bottle.
"There's nothing in it." She frowned as she checked over the see-through bottle.
"Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there." He winked.
"Thank you, thank you for everything." She smiled as she carefully placed the bottle in her dressing gown.
"I will always be at your side, young Ayoko…always," he whispered. The water god slowly evaporated into the air as Erza came walking towards her daughter from across the landing.
"Everything alright, sweetheart?"
"Yes, Mum. I have been given another god, the Lord of the Sea…Poseidon."
A/N: We can all breathe now; Kiyoshi is safe and sound thanks to his sister…! ^.^ There was no need to worry xD If Hiro has taught me anything it's that no matter how bad a situation, so long as there is hope anything is possible ;)
