Topic: You can live under the sea, in the jungle or on a cloud for the rest of your life. Which place do you choose to live and what's your life like?

The Adopted Son of Poseidon

 

Everything was going smoothly in Marian Fall, the deepest pit in the Pacific Ocean. It was early in the morning when a triton woke me up yelling.

 

“What’s the matter?”

 

“Poseidon is missing! He’s not in his chamber!”

 

The whole place was under alert. The guardians surrounded the palace. Amfitrites was having a crisis. I put on my armor and went looking in all four oceans. Every single person in the world as looking for him. Even Zeus found out. “I don’t care if you have to move every single rock, but even if you burns all alges. I want Poseidon right here!”

 

Amfitrites was crying all the time.

 

“It’s been a week and you haven’t found him yet!”

 

“I promise we will sir.”

 

“Then do ittt!”

 

I couldn’t find any solution in the entire sea, so I asked for help from Zeus.

 

“I’m well aware about it. But don’t get sad. We will find my brother together!”

 

“Thanks uncle.”

So the time was running.

 

“ It’s been 14 months and we haven’t found him yet!”

 

“Don’t worry Amfitrites. We will find him. I’m determined, even if that’s the last thing I do!”

 

The years passed without Poseidon. The underwater realm couldn’t  survive without a king, so I took Poseidon’s place and sit on the throne. The three bladed spear was given to me along with its powers. I was the ruler of the sea now. Exactly after 12 years I got warned of a huge army heading toward the palace, so I also prepared my army. After 2 weeks the invading army was at my palace gates. I exploded in anger and launched my army also.

 

It was a war of Titans. When I glimpsed at their leader, I got shocked! It was Poseidon! When we two went to head to head combat I asked him: “Why are you doing this?”

 

“Because you’re my adopted, not my real, son!”

 

I got shocked and angry, so I launched an attack that penetrated his chest. The war was over. In the end I ruled a peaceful ocean world.
