Why He Desired Her

Note: Hope this chapter is good. I am just going at my own pace.

Poseidon raised his hand, and the cavern around them dissolved into a blur of colors and light. In an instant, Percy found herself in a different place entirely—Poseidon's domain. The environment was ethereal, with towering pillars of coral, bioluminescent plants, and a vast ocean stretching infinitely around them.

Percy continue struggling in Poseidon's hold, her anger and fear fueling her movements. She tried to fight him off, twisting and turning, but his grip was unyielding.

"Let me go!" Percy screamed, her voice echoing through the watery expanse.

Poseidon's grip tightened momentarily before he gently set her down on a platform of shimmering seashells. "Please, Percy. Listen to me."

Breathing heavily, Percy glared at him. "Why do you want me? What makes you think you can just take me away from everything I know?"

Poseidon's gaze softened slightly, and he released his grip just enough for Percy to step back. He sighed, an ancient weariness in his eyes, and began to speak.

"It is not an easy story to tell," he said. "But you deserve to know the truth."

Percy folded her arms, keeping a wary distance. "Then tell me."

Poseidon turned away, his golden-blonde hair shimmering in the cavern's eerie light as he began to recount the tale.

"It began with Chaos, the first primordial being, the origin of all things and creator of the universe. Chaos looked upon the world and saw the gods' dispassion, our lack of empathy for the mortals we were meant to guide and protect. Chaos decided to intervene, to teach us the value of understanding and compassion."

Percy listened, her curiosity piqued despite her fear.

"Chaos chose you, Percy," The sea god that is not her father continued. "Your life, from the moment you discovered your true heritage, was shown to us on a grand screen. We watched you grow, face dangers, and overcome insurmountable odds. Chaos believed that by watching your struggles, triumphs, and pains as a demigod, we would learn to...empathize with mortals."

Percy's eyes widened. "You...you watched my entire life?"

Poseidon nodded. "Not entirely, but from the moment you found out you were a demigod, through every quest, every battle. We saw your courage, your loyalty to your friends, and your unwavering spirit."

Percy's mind whirled, the realization sinking in. "So, Chaos did this to make you more empathetic with mortals despite me being half mortal?"

"Yes," Poseidon replied. "Chaos wanted to instill in us a deeper understanding of humans and why us gods should not prepare to destroy them. But for me, it went beyond just mere empathy."

Poseidon eyes locked onto Percy's with a profound intensity. "As I watched you, I felt something I had never experienced before. I saw your strength, your resilience, and your heart. I saw you, Percy Jackson, and I fell in love with you."

Percy took a step back, her pulse racing. "But you don't even know me. You've just... watched me."

"I know it sounds strange," Poseidon said gently. "But through watching your life, I came to understand you in ways words cannot express. Your spirit, your essence—it captivated me. I could not help but fall for you, despite the distance between our worlds."

Percy shook her head, trying to process everything. "This is insane. I really need to go back. I can't stay here with you."

Poseidon's expression darkened once more. "You belong here with me, Percilla Jackson. I will not let you go."

"You can't just keep me here!" Percy shouted, her frustration boiling over. "I have a life in my world with the people who care about me! I will not abandon them!"

Poseidon's eyes remained unyielding. "I understand your feelings, but my love for you is boundless. I will do whatever it takes to protect you and keep you by my side. In time, you will see that this is where you are meant to be."

Her chest ached with a mix of fear and determination. Percy couldn't deny the overwhelming power Poseidon wielded, but she also couldn't abandon her friends, her family, and everything she fought for.

"You may think you can keep me here," Percy said, her voice steady. "But I will find a way to go back. I won't give up on my world, no matter what you say."

Poseidon sighed, a mixture of sadness and admiration in his eyes. "Your spirit is truly remarkable, Percy. I can see why Chaos chose you. But know this: I will not give up on you either. I will do everything in my power to make you see that my love for you is true."
