Poseidon fought near him. His father. He didn't have a lot of time to dwell on that since there was this whole battle that was still going on. The twin giants, Otis and Ephialtes, stood before him and the sea god. He charged. Slashing through their arms and slamming his sword through Otis' armour. The giant fell back. Poseidon, it was still strange to see the god in a Hawaiian shirt, attacked the other giant.

He tried to keep an eye on the ones around him too. His friends were also fighting giants beside various gods.

As Otis was on the ground he stabbed Ephialtes from the back, his father thrusting his trident straight into the giant's chest. Ephialtes crumbled into a load of ash. Behind him Otis roared. He side stepped just as Otis was about to slam into him. The momentum took the giant to Poseidon's waiting trident. As the god pulled his weapon back from the giant's abdomen, Otis fell. Before the giant could raise his sword again, he dived in bringing Riptide down on the giants throat.

Otis and Ephialtes were defeated. He looked around, the battle was coming to an end. They were winning, though there were still a couple of giants.

"Son," Poseidon spoke in front of him, attaining all of his attention. He snapped his head to look at the god in surprise.

It felt good, being called that. It was something he had longed for his entire life.

"Father," he whispered. Poseidon smiled. His eyes crinkling at its side.

"You have become a great hero. You have made me proud, Jimin."

He felt like he wanted to cry, but he asked. "Is this it? You just say you are proud of me and then I am not gonna see you ever again?"

"I am sorry Jimin. I have wanted to visit you a lot of times. But things are like this. We are not supposed to be meddling with the life of demigods. And then that snow goddess came along making things difficult-" he hadn't meant to interrupt, but he did.

"Snow goddess? As in Khione?"

"Yes. She worked her charm-speak on Zeus, tricking him untill we realised what was happening. He had forbade us from  helping. But some like Apollo and Athena went against him still. I wish I had done the same." Poseidon sighed. He smelled like sea, like his cabin back in camp and that made him homesick. "But I have watched you through your journey. You have reached great heights. You mother would be so proud of you." He really wanted to cry now.

"Thank you. These powers it have have helped me and my friends come this far. So thank you for that. And this..." He lifted Riptide. "Thank you" he whispered again.

Poseidon was about to say something more. But something caught both of their attention. Hypnos, or he assumed it was Hypnos, dressed in dark robes. He was crouched down, his hand pressed against the earth. Even he could feel it, the loud thumping of Gaia's heart not so loud anymore. The whispers of the earth ceased. Something cracked on the other side of the field. A giant, he didn't knew who, crashed into a few columns raining down chunks of the pillar and debris.

And below it was Hosoek. He didn't even had the time to yell before the whole thing crashed down. He was running , but as the dust settled around the ruins, he saw Hosoek down on the ground, a few feet away from where he initially was. He was about to breathe out in relief just as Hosoek turned around wide eyes at the crashed pillar and yelled. "JUNGKOOK".

The whole world seemed to stop around him or maybe it really did. He couldn't move. He couldn't hear Hosoek's shouts anymore. Jin came running next to Hosoek wide eyed in panic. Maybe an hour passed or it hadn't been even seconds the time started again.
