The Moon Tide

Father

Percy opened his eyes only to see sand like walls, covered with seashells, coral, and star fish.
He raised his left arm, that was on his chest, and laid it to his side, where he felt a soft fabric.
He was on a bed.

The seven year old boy quickly sat up and looked around.

Water.

He double checked he was breathing.

He raised two fingers up to his neck, feeling for a heartbeat.

He's alive.

What the heck was happening to him?

Just then, the door in the corner of the room, burst open, revealing a man that had light brown hair, deep chocolate eyes, and last but not least, where his legs should have been was a fin. Like the mermans in the little Mermaid, but the man had a more neutral color to it, it was plain green.

The man bowed before Percy, confused on why he would ever be bowed to.

"The lord asks for you, young Prince." He spoke in a hoarse, yet strongly deep voice.

Prince? Why would he be called prince? It's not like any of his family was royalty. Well he has never met his father...

Percy stood up, and nodded to the merman.

"Follow me, Prince."

The boy followed the merman I'm front of him, down short hallways filled with pictures of what he assumed was the Greek Gods and Goddesses of Olympus, judging on the picture of the Goddess of beauty and Love.
Percy knew everything about the Greek and Roman Gids and Goddesses. His mother used to tell him stories about them, and how he was named after a son of Zeus, who had the closest thing to a "happily ever after" any child of the gods could ask for. Sally had always told Percy of the Gods very fondly, but mostly, a certain God of the Sea's.

Suddenly the man in front of Percy stopped, almost causing Percy to run Right into him.

"You may leave now, Verdo." Spoke a voice that seemed familiar, but with a very distinct memory of a warm smile.

The merman in front of the boy, left, leaving Percy to the veiw of a 12 foot tall merman that had long Jet black hair, like his own, tied into a pony tail, also with facial hair just as dark as the rest of his head. Percy noticed the golden crown sitting apun the Merman's head, making it clear as day, that he was the king. He also had the same eyes as Percy, which were Sea Green, but the Merman's eyes seem to hold more power, than Percy's, as if the Merman could cause a hurricane.
The last thing that caught Percy's attention, was the fin. It wasn't like the other mermans. Or like the Queens, yesterday. It had five fin type things, sort of like an octopus, but with five. The waist part was a deep ocean blue, while it fades into lighter shades of blue, till the tips of his fins, the undersides of his fins, was pure sea green.
"Perseus Thesis Jackson." The merman King said.

Percy nodded. "Who are you, sir?" He says while bowing, making sure he doesn't make a wrong move.

The King laughed, making his booming voice shake the sand walls a little.
"I'm Poseidon. Lord of Sea's, storm bringer, earth shaker, and father to all horses and Pegasi. But I may add, that I'm also your father."

Percy didn't see surprised. Its not like he thought that an all powerful being was going to be his brother, they look to much alike. And plus, also learning that the Greek Gods were real, wasn't really a surprise either. His mother had talked about them so fondly who wouldn't think that she actually got to meet them, and grew to love one.

"Hello, Lord Poseidon. Father."

Poseidon looked at his newly reunited son with curiosity. Why wasn't he freaking out?
"Percy? Why aren't you like I dont know, freaking out?"

The boy, shook his head and chuckled. "Mom had told me stories about you. And all the Greek Gods and Goddesses. She really loved you guys."

Poseidon face grew dark remembering when he learned about Sally. She was gone.

"Percy?" The king asked his son.

The seven year old looked up. "Yes father?"

Nervousness falshed through Poseidon's pride eyes.
"Would you like to meet the Gods and Goddesses, and...um..your Olympian mother?"

"Olympian Mother?" The boy asked clearly confused.

"An Olympian mother is a Goddess who goes to one of the Gods children, that hasn't been born yet, so at around three months pregnant, they enchant the birth mom, or in this case, the Earth mother, to hold the baby until nine months, gives birth to the child, and has it until the child finds out the Gods then the Olympian Mother comes in and takes place of the the Earth mother, and in most cases hey end up making the child their own champian."

Percy shook his head, not believing what he just heard. "Alright father, letsbgo meet your family and my Olympian Mother."
