Poseidon looked back at Zeus with wide eyes. "She wouldn't." He shakes his head. "I know she can hold a grudge but she would not betray us willingly."

Zeus lets his younger brother make his own opinion, but still, he hadn't come this far only to discuss his injuries. Poseidon starts pacing around. He can't imagine it, Zeus sighs softly. He didn't want to possibly hurt his brother even more, but he had to know.

"You know Hades doesn't make such claims lightly. He saw her walk close to the Lethe River, on multiple occasions."

"Was she alone?" Poseidon asks, still in disbelief. Zeus nods. "He saw her multiple times, but it's unclear if she was sent there to release Kronos from Tartarus herself, or if she found allies there."

Poseidon looks back at his brother with a harsh glare, the pain from his injury forgotten momentarily. He clenches his fists. "I understand you need to find the perfect culprit but that doesn't mean she did anything. Why would she side with him?"

Zeus raises an eyebrow at the defensive tone. "I'm not accusing her of anything. I'm simply telling you, that it is suspicious to see her roaming around Hades's domains, and close to the Lethe river."

Poseidon raised an eyebrow. The Lethe River, Kym. That didn't make sense. "She's immune to the water. I don't see why she would go there."

Zeus nods. "When Hades first saw her, he tried to bring her away but she wouldn't move an inch. He was mostly worried about her." Poseidon rubs a hand on his beard. "He said that she seemed in a trance-like state, and she wouldn't respond to him."

Poseidon started to feel uneasy. He needed to go back to Atlantis fast. "I need to go, I have to investigate this further," Poseidon says.

But before he can leave Zeus pulls him back. "You need to see Apollo first, Poseidon."

Poseidon tries to protest. "I can handle it just fine, it simply needs to be changed."

But his brother doesn't let him go. "You will see Apollo, Poseidon even if I have to drag you there myself."

The Sea God smiles at his brother before he gets dragged to Apollo's domains. They pass through the other Olympians. Some of them shake their heads at the sight. Hestia laughs when she sees Poseidon not even trying to move. Poseidon was really stubborn when he wanted to be.

They make their way through the small hills and buildings among Olympus. Until they finally reach Apollo's infirmary. The building is made of bright gold. Resembling its owner. Once they enter through the golden doors, they're greeted by an Asclepiad, a healer under Apollo.

She bows respectfully before them. Poseidon acknowledges her and gives her a nod but Zeus doesn't seem to care.

"What can I do for you?" Zeus, still holding Poseidon firmly by the arm, responds. "We need to see Apollo immediately." He declares.

She nods in understanding. "I understand my Lord, follow me."

Leading them through the different rows of beds, where other healers cared for patients, some of which are Minor Gods and other creatures. The atmosphere was filled with a blend of peppermint and chamomile.

Then the young woman stops in front of two golden doors that resemble the ones they entered through before. And she opens them and lets them enter inside. "Thank you," Poseidon says and she gives him a bright smile as she makes her leave.

Zeus finally lets go of his arm. And Apollo appears smiling brightly and inviting them to come in. "Poseidon! Father: What's up?" He asks excitedly.

Poseidon smiles at the younger god's vibrant demeanor while Zeus pinches his nose in exasperation. "Poseidon has been injured by Oceanus and we need to know the extent of the damage."

"Oh, I knew about that already!" He says with a wave of his hand. "Kymopoleia told me." He turns his back away from them and looks through his medicine cabinets. His work area is quite messy, filled with potions and vials among paperwork.

Poseidon's brows furrowed at the namedrop. "I thought it was Amphitrite who told you about this." Apollo doesn't turn around to respond. "Oh! Actually she came in the other night to ask me for a potion that would speed up the process-" He sifted through the mess and finally found what he was looking for.

"There it is!" He exclaims as he holds the vial triumphantly. And finally comes to stand in front of Poseidon who's waiting on the exam table, shirtless.

"That's the medication I took!" He shows the vial to Poseidon. "Perfect for any type of injury!" He adds excitedly at his own creation. He loves making potions. But Zeus, who had been sitting closely, was getting impatient.

"Poseidon has to go back to Atlantis Apollo." He chastises. "Just take a look at the injury, and tell us what's wrong." Apollo's demeanor changes slightly. "Okie dokie! Let's see."

He starts prodding gently at the wound. Attentive at every reaction. Poseidon winces slightly as the sun God prods closer to the hole on his side. "I'm going to be honest, it doesn't look good. Despite the treatment."

Poseidon looks down at him. "What do you mean?"

"Eh, I think it spread further on the inside, possibly causing a tissue inflammation which then might infect the muscles-" Apollo feels Zeus's glare at the back of his head. "So, that means I'm going to need to try and heal it myself, but it might take more time for you to fully recover."

Poseidon nods. Apollo places both of his hands close to the open wound and starts to recite an incantation. Poseidon feels the pain start to diminish and the skin begins to close a little bit. But, it doesn't heal completely.

Apollo opens his eyes to look at it once more. He's confused. "Do you remember what was used to cause such a wound?" He asks Poseidon.

Poseidon tries to remember the battle. It went fast but then he remembered Oceanus used a celestial bronze blade. "I think it was a blade. Normally he uses ancient sea creatures but this time, it was different."

"Celestial bronze." He murmurs softly. "I think he might have infused it with something else too."

Zeus listens carefully. And tries to understand why he would change tactics, Titans were not known to use the same weapons as they did.

Apollo nods in understanding. "That makes sense now, but normally I should be able to heal it completely." He goes back to his cabinet. And once again makes a mess looking for a specific potion. He steps onto the counter to get to the top of it and grabs a violet vial. And come back.

"This should be helpful. It won't be an easy fix though." He informs Poseidon as he removes the cork and starts dabbing the mixture on a cloth. "It will counter the effects of the magic that was infused in the blade, but it will be slow and you need to rest."

Poseidon nods. "I will try."

Apollo smiles as he begins to apply the cloth to the wound. It glows brightly as he does. And Poseidon feels a tingling sensation. The young God starts another incantation to help the magic work. And once it's done, he checks the area.

"It's no longer infected, but you should clean it at least once a day still." He then wraps Poseidon's side in another bandage carefully. "You should be good in a few weeks at most, continue using the potion I gave Kym to help fasten the process."

"Thank you, Apollo." He pulls his blue shirt back on again and starts getting up from the marble exam table. He then remembers Apollo mentioning Kymopoleia so he tries to get more information.

Apollo knew Poseidon's children well, being around Triton's age.

"When you saw Kymopoleia last time, did she seem like herself?" The Sun God turned once again as he started cleaning up his supplies. "Hmmm, she seemed a bit cryptic. But then I know she's more on the reserved side."

Poseidon nods that was in character for her. Apollo looks down at the table trying to remember as much as he can. "To be fair, she must have been in a hurry if you weren't feeling well."

"Yes, but she was with me the entire time until the healers arrived. And I got the other potion yesterday." he pauses. "What did she tell you?" He asks.

Apollo thinks about their interaction. "She didn't say much. She simply told me that she needed a potion because you had been severely injured and you were passing out."

Poseidon hums under his breath. Apollo's insight didn't give him any more clues. But he hadn't realized Kymopoleia had been missing then.

"Thank you, for your intel. Please Keep me informed if you have any more insights on her behavior."

Apollo nods. "I will, but for now I think she simply might have been scared after seeing you like this."

Poseidon sighed. "I hope it's simply out of fear and not something more dire."

Zeus and him make their leave. Apollo goes back to cleaning his workplace. And both Olympians walk towards the exit of Olympus.

"I already sent spies to Atlantis, the soldiers will come tonight to reinforce the borders. You should rest." The Sea God looks at his brother and sighs. "I'll rest when I'm sure my family and home are safe."

With that, he goes back to Atlantis.
