Sally's POV
Fear, that is the only thing I am feeling right now. I am currently running through the forest right now with a little child in my hands being chased by cyclops. I'm still new to this child thing even though it's been a few months since I gave birth to my baby boy, Perseus. A while back I meant this amazing man named Poseidon, at the time I did not think anything of the name maybe he just came from Greece or something however I was mistaken. The Greek world does exist and I so happened to fall in love with Poseidon God of the Seas.
I had known Poseidon for well over a year and a half now however he seemed to disappear around 8 months ago. I think it was because of me telling him of Percy. I'm not completely sure though. I've been struggling through dealing with work and trying to manage having a child in me and paying for everything now being single again. Let me tell you it was not easy I've been struggling for a bit now but my sweet baby boy is well worth all of it. I had been even studying Greek history and the myths trying to make sure my baby boy would be okay and that I would have knowledge about the other side of his life. I learned about Poseidon his family, how the Olympians were worshipped, and all of that.
The months without Poseidon have been terrible I do miss him and those sea-green eyes. Giving birth to Percy though was a positive. I gave birth to him a few months ago. My son Perseus is a demigod half human half god meaning he attracts monsters. So lots have happened since then I started noticing weird monster creatures that I recognized as ancient monsters like Cyclops and empousa. Originally I thought it was just me seeing things and being paranoid however they became even more common. The final thing that worried me was yesterday at the hospital I was getting my 3-month check up I noticed a bunch of cyclops around and one was trying to get in my room. I was so scared for my son that I did not know what else to do.
When on the way home I noticed a few monsters lurking at my door that was it. My last straw. I just turned around and started running trying to get away from them all. Until one noticed me and started chasing me. I don't know what I ever did to Poseidon to do this to me. I guess that sadly Poseidon does not want to have a child and has sent his monsters to hunt us down.
So that is where I stand running through the forest trying to avoid as many of the monsters as I can while hiding from the one already chasing me. I was getting extremely tired by the minute it had been a very long time since I had been this active. Eventually, I think I lost the Cyclops. After a few minutes I finally found a tree to take cover behind completely out of energy and beyond exhaustion I put my back to the tree and collapsed.
After around five minutes I knew we had to keep moving so that is exactly what I did. Moving and trying to avoid them however as turning past a tree I felt a sickening to the back of my head and my world started spinning.
Hades' POV
Originally I was in the forest trying to look for a few flowers to give to my amazing wife Persephone. We had just gotten into a disagreement over a mortal I met a while back named Maria Di Angelo she was such a pretty woman I couldn't help but fall for her. But anyway I am trying to make it up to Persephone and how could any girl not like flowers especially a goddess of spring growth and flowers connect to that and stuff. Ugh, I don't get the appeal of flowers they are too bright and just they feel and smell weird. I don't know I'm just hoping this will please her. A bit of time went by I was just looking out towards the trees and sky thinking to myself.
However, something caught my eye a woman with a baby running through the forest. I was watching this woman being chased by monsters and I could not help but feel bad. I could sense my brother's scent of the sea on her child so I am guessing it seems as though he is a son of my less annoying brother. However, based on the Cyclops, I can infer Poseidon was surprised to have a child and therefore most likely doesn't want him. While I was in deep thought I eventually heard something.
"Are you by any chance Hades?" The woman with the baby asked.
"Um.. How did you know?" I asked her. Still slightly shocked that someone recognized me let alone someone who knew about the Greek world.
" I honestly don't know I just had this feeling. However, I know that you probably know he is a child of the sea but I don't think I am making it longer than a minute more. I'm very sorry to spring this up on you. However, I do not know anything else that I can do but ask you if you could please take my baby boy and raise him to be respectful and an amazing young man". The woman said.
"I am not sure he is a forbidden child son of my brother what makes you think I would want him". I told her.
"I'm sorry I just don't know what else to do. You can raise him however you want then just I want my baby boy to have an opportunity in life and I feel as though you can give him one". She responded I could sense a bit of desperation oozing from her voice.
" I suppose I could take him and make him my son. Very well I will take him off your hands may you rest in peace". I stated.
With that, I could tell her time was up death looming over her. I heard her finally whisper I love you, my baby boy. With that, she was no longer with us. I felt a tear run down my right cheek, I picked up the little boy who started crying sensing the death of his mother. I gave her a proper burial and I held the boy Perseus ready to go back to the underworld.
Jayden out.
