The Sea Tyrant's Obsession (PJO x ROR) *18+* WTM/WTS Book 1

Before The Kidnapping

Note: Chapter unedited

Take place before Poseidon stole Percy from her world. The conversations are like in the manga.

Inside the parliament building of the Council of Valhalla:

Poseidon, Greek god of the sea, earthquakes , and horses drummed his fingers against the armrest of his throne in a mix of boredom and annoyance as his idiot younger brother Zeus lectures on about the fate of humanity.

He tapped his fingers more impatiently when the deities talks amongst themselves about deciding on the fate of mankind. Though he is on the side with wiping out all the mortal filth from the earth, he found the meeting unnecessary despite being held once every 1,000 years. In his view, the deities across different pantheons had long been in agreement on this matter. As the god of the sea, he knew well the depths of human folly and their impact on the natural world. Yet, Poseidon also understood that the balance of power among the gods required a united front, even if the decision seemed obvious.

As Zeus's voice echoed through the hall, Poseidon made eye contact with his brother Hades, the Greek god of the Underworld and the most respected god across pantheons. Hades's expression was unreadable, his eyes flickering with a hint of resignation. They shared a silent exchange, a tacit understanding of the complexities and burdens of their divine roles.

Across the room, Poseidon's gaze then met Odin's, the wise and weathered Allfather of the Norse gods. Odin's single eye gleamed with a mixture of solemnity and contemplation, a reflection of the weight of the impending decision. Poseidon respected Odin's wisdom and often found common ground with him in matters of governance and the fate of mortals.

"Let me ask." Continued Zeus, "Now, should we put an end to them? Or...should we forgive them? Regarding the survival of mankind for the next 1,000 years."

"Of Gods, show me the will."

"Let's just give them the doomsday already, alright?" Said Shiva, the Hindu god of creation and destruction laying on his mat with his arms crossed behind his head. "Mankind doesn't seem to have any intention to repent at all. Trying to guide them is such a pain in the a*s. Once we've erased them all, let's try evolving some other animal this time!"

"True..." Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty joins in. She sat perched on her stone golems with her huge *ahem* assets being held. "It's just as Lord Shiva says. In the last 1,000 years, the Earth has become too ugly. Seas are filled with wastes and oils. Forests are gone and living beings have become extinct one after another. So to speak...mankind is the most dangerous living cancer on earth, a disaster that will bring earth to its destruction. Isn't that true?"

The all the deities listening in the council murmured their agreement.
"Aphrodite is right."
"Mankind is harmful and evil."
"There is no saving them anymore."
"That's right."

Zeus strikes the gavel to call back their attention.

"I guess, we have come to an agreement. Then, the end of mankind is decid—"

"PLEASE WAIT A SECOND!" Someone shouted, cutting Zeus off; a tall woman with long black hair and piercing green eyes.

"Huh?"
"Valkyrie?"
"That's a Valkyrie right?"
"Hey hey, what's up with her?"
"OI! WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO?!"

Poseidon narrowed his eyes at the sight of the commotion caused by the interruption. He turned his gaze towards the source of the disturbance and saw Brunhilde, leader of the Valkyries, striding confidently towards the center of the council chamber. Her presence commanded attention, which he can respect.
