I slowly wake up. What just happened? Why is everyone staring at me? Everyone is staring at me. Poseidon... why is he here. God my head hurts so much. What happened? I remember... the darkness. I remember a voice.
"Hi.." I say weakily.
"Sinbad!" Marina hugs me.
I wince. Tears were spilling onto my shirt.
"Thank You." Proteus looks to Poseidon.
"Someone want to clue me in on what's happening?" I ask.
"Long story short, the Prince of Syracuse and your girlfriend have convinced me differently about you." Poseidon says.
Marina helps me stand up. Proteus wraps my arm around his shoulders. I wince. He grips my wound for me. I look at him. I'm still not sure what happened, but I'm just glad I lived through this.
"Syracuse is safe from me." Poseidon says.
"Thank you." I wince.
"You surprised me Sinbad. Do remember Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves." He says.
"Loud and clear." I wince.
He turns and dives back into the ocean.
"Good sailing Sinbad." Proteus says.
"Thanks." I mutter.
"Sinbad! Don't ever do that again!" Rex cries.
"Alright, alright." I wince.
"Let's get you cleaned up Sinbad." Proteus says.
I nod.
"Good idea." I mutter.
"How are we going to tell the tale?" Marina looks at me.
"I have a couple of ideas." I answer.
The End.
