His vision blurred as he opened his eyes, He looked around him and sighed, He felt power fade away distinctly as he looked around, He noticed he wasn't in his bed.. No. It's texture felt.. Different.. He looked down and saw he had woken up on top of a kline. A bed made all the way back in ancient greece! Back when.. He was still a child.. Oh no.. 'OH NO No no! This can't be happening?!This can't be real! It can't!' He thought as he scrambled away to the ground making a loud thud as he hit his head on the wall. "Poseidon? What in mother gaia's name are you doing awake at this time of night?" He heard a voice speak, The voice sounded so confused and demanding.. Yet had a hint of comfort and love.. Poseidon looked up and saw a woman with shining emerald eyes, sharp features, And a tired look on her face, staring down at him.. The god felt like he recognized the woman but he couldn't think of where..
As he stared at the woman, He started to hyperventilate.. Kronos was gonna fetch his scent soon, It was only a matter of time! Kronos will rip him apart, Limb by limb! He had to escape..! He just had to. But how?!- "-POSEIDON!" A woman yelled and Poseidon snapped out of the trance that had him trapped for some time. As Poseidon analyzed the woman's features Poseidon finally knew where he'd recognized her! She was Rhea, titan of fertility, motherhood, comfort, ease, protection.. And the best of all? She was his mother! But how was she here..- Wait.. The fates! 'They sent me here!' Poseidon thought as he looked at his mother, She looked younger.. 'I'm in the past aren't I..?' Poseidon uttered so quietly as if he were an anechoic chamber.. 'Yes.. And no.' Someone spoke directly at Poseidon, As if it was directly into his.. Mind.. The voice seemed familiar.. 'Atropos.?' Poseidon thought 'Yes dear?' She spoke, Poseidon looked at the woman in front of him and spoke. 'What do you mean by Yes and No.?' Poseidon asked through his thoughts 'You are right that you are in the past. But also wrong.. You are in the past, Yes. But not in our original universe's past.. You are in another universe's past.. And to put it short. You are now in the body of your 4 Year old self in a universe in which Kronos hadn't eaten any of his children.' Atropos spoke directly into the mind of Poseidon.. The god noticed that the woman in front of him hadn't moved an inch since Atropos spoke to him.. 'I stopped time for a bit to explain the current situation to you.' Atropos explained as if she had read Poseidon's thoughts, That made sense.. 'Well then.. Bye!' Atropos spoke as time began to fasten until it was back to its original form. The woman in front of Poseidon looked down at him "What's wrong? Did you try dream walking again? I thought I told you not to try and dream walk?" Rhea scolded as she looked at the god who was still in deep thought "I'm Sorry.." He quietly uttered as he looked up at Rhea, His eyes now big and watery.. Rhea's tough appearance soon collapsed. She couldn't be angry with her son while he was about to cry..
Rhea took a deep breath and spoke so gently yet her voice still had hints of scolding "Oh my sweet innocent boy.. I know you want to learn how to dream walk.. But you shouldn't! You're far too young! What if you get trapped in your mind? What will I do then?" She spoke as she looked down at her son with a look that could kill, He sat silently on the floor and Rhea sighed as she kneeled down and lifted him to his kline, "Rest first, Hun.. I'll scold you in the morning." The titaness gently spoke as she looked at her son, Unknowing to what he's thinking. But, He obeyed as he laid back down and slowly rested his heavy eyelids. A kiss planted on his forehead as the woman stood and left "Goodnight, My sweet child..' He heard as the doors shut.
It was gonna take a long time for the fates to decide to get him back to his original time and world, So until then.. He'd have to act accordingly. It did help a little that the fates gave the memories of the young boy he was supposed to act as to him.. At least he'd know the events that have happened in the past of this world's version of him. And at least he'd understand some things that will be thrown at him for the day after.. But first. Rest is important.
