Chaper 12: Gods discover about Aurora

1 year later

Poseidon's pov

It's been 9 years since I last visited my precious daughter Aurora. She is now 10 years old. I only visited her when she was born. She is the first daughter I have. I know, Father of the year over here. I wasn't getting that award. The closet we had gotten to meeting again was the I saw a letter for her in Herm's mailbag. If you tell anyone, I'll deny it.
I can't have people thinking I'm getting soft. But I missed my kid. I was frustrated that every god could keep a close eye on their children, even if it was from distance. But on Olympus, I was virtually useless. Any attempt of communication was monitored by Zeus,
the god of lighting, drama and jerks. Maybe my brain is full of seaweed, but I'm smart enough to guess that my brother would be an even worse uncle than I was father.
Otherwise, life on Olympus ran smoothly. I fought with Athena daily. I endured Ares. The twins bickered (Apollo and Artemis). Demeter complained about Hades stealing her sweet little Kore (Persephone). Hera accused Zeus of cheating. Dionysus complained about the demigods. Everything was normal. ( well as normal as life can be for a Greek God)

Then Zeus summoned us for a meeting and I appeared to Olympus. The throne room was usually empty and cold. All of the gods had their own business to attend to, aside from our immortal duties. We hardly used the throne room, when the Winter and Summer solstice's come rolling around or when Zeus decides some of us have done to break his "laws". It is only direct situations that we all meet up together to talk. I hope he has not discovered about my daughter.

One by one I watched the Olympians flashed themselves to the room and take their places in their thrones. I got several strange looks, almost as if they were examining me. It was only logical that Zeus had discovered about my daughter and told them how I broke the oath that went against my word, he would do anything to fault me. I was proven right when Dionysus leaned over to Hermes and whispered " Let's hope that this one doesn't turn into a seaweed or something." I wanted to depend my self, to say that I wouldn't let that happen to any of my children, but couldn't guarantee anything. Being forbidden from making any contact with your children gets in the way of saving their life.

Finally, the last two arrived. Athena and Apollo together. What would they be doing together? I hope my daughter is safe. After all, Athena hates me and would do anything to make me suffer. She then gives me a nasty, vicious glare as she sat down. I could see her being upset that I had a child powerful enough to interrupt her reading or whatever she was doing. For good measure, I stuck my tongue out at her, hated her.

Then Zeus flashed with thunder dramatically. He then roared" Poseidon, You have sired a demigod. You have gone against your oath." I froze for a moment. Then I tried to stay stoic much as possible. Lying isn't my style but I would do anything to protect my precious daughter, whom I had already doomed by taking part in her making.
" Do you have proof" I raised an eyebrow. It was perfect. Not revelling I had broken my promise, but not saying I did either.

"Your son, Triton" Zeus trembled in fury had been caught by visiting a demigod on the beach. He was playing with the demigod." Zeus paused to suck in some air.
"HOW DARE YOU?!"

I briefly closed my eyes in exasperation. Of cause, Triton would be stupid for not being careful. He didn't even tell m, he met Aurora. I would have to take him aside and have a few words later. Well, it might have been violence too, if he had gotten Aurora killed.

"She will be murdered." My trident was at Zeus' throat within 5 seconds. A low snarl ripped its way from my vocal cords and tore through my bared teeth.

"You will have a hell of a war on your hands if you even threaten once more, Thunder butt." The insult slipped off my tongue. I was too angry to even enjoy the repulsed and offended look on my brother's face. All I saw was the slight fear in his eyes. I knew he was aware that bringing full-fledged war upon himself wasn't the best idea for the
Western Civilization. Zeus slumped his shoulders and broke our eye contact. Sensing the threat was gone, I lowered my trident.

Thunder butt straightened his pinstriped suit all superior like, as he hadn't just been owned. " If you will object to her demise, then there is a condition of which we can negotiate. However," his eyes flashed like lightning " you must not interfere. There are no other options than execution." I nodded to show I was listening.

" We will set up a one-way Irish message to watch her. The council will meet to observe her life and decisions. But, if she is turning to the dark side, or make wrong choices, we will kill her."

My mind was at war. On the bright side, I could watch my previous daughter Aurora all her without having to be secretive. I could give her signs when she was about to get it herself into trouble. On the bad side, however, she might make a couple of bad turns. And most gods and goddesses of the council weren't for second chances. what other choice did I have though? Her death?

"Find, We will begin tomorrow," I called over my shoulder, trying to seem indifferent.
"And Zeus?" He glanced up with cold, expressionless eyes. "I'll be watching you, too."
I rounded the corner and marched up to the throne room. Things were about to get interesting around her.
