(Present)
Adamas materialized on the wrecked island. Before him, destruction lay everywhere, revealing the remnants of Hades and Poseidon's battle. The God of Conquest clenched his fists, feeling a surge of anger radiating through him.
He walked around, scanning the desolate landscape until his eyes landed on Poseidon's immobile form in the middle of the island. The god of the sea knelt on the ground, his head bent, with Hades's skeleton servants still keeping him in place, binding him from escaping. Adamas felt his ichor boil at the sight of his fallen brother.
"Oi, Poseidon, you fucking ice bitch!" he bellowed, his furious voice echoing across the ruins of the island. "What in the pits of Tartarus were you thinking?!"
"Adamas..." Poseidon struggled to say, not lifting his head.
Adamas stepped closer, rage simmering beneath the surface. "Hades told me what happened! I can't believe you fought Percy! Your own daughter!" he shouted, the words spilling from his lips like fire. "And you knocked her out with a cheap shot! What kind of pathetic excuse for a father are you?"
Poseidon didn't immediately respond, only grunted.
"Oi, are you even listening to me?!"
His brother kept his head down, seemingly ignoring him.
"Fucking talk to me, dammit! I still can't stand how you've been ignoring me for eons!" Adamas growled angrily.
"Just go away..." his brother finally muttered.
"No, I will not! We need to talk! Now, you better listen to me, you prick! You do not harm your own daughter just because she wanted to get away from you! That's not how a father should treat his child!"
Poseidon remained silent as his brother ranted.
Adamas continued. "Are you abusing her or something? Just what kind of sick game are you playing, Poseidon?!"
Poseidon lifted his head slightly, his eyes narrowing in defiance. "Adamas, it's not what you think—"
"Not what I think?!" Adamas interrupted, his voice rising even higher. "Your daughter is out cold because of you! If Hades had to step in and fight you over her, you're doing something terribly wrong! And you didn't think to tell me you brought my niece into our world?!"
Poseidon clenched his jaw, the skeletons binding him rattling slightly in response to his frustration. "I just forgot to tell you. I didn't want to hurt her, Adamas, but she left me no choice. She was trying to escape me, and I can't allow that! I have to keep Percilla by my side at all costs! She is MINE!" he roared, his expression twisted with madness.
Adamas gaped, shaking his head in disbelief. "Are you serious, bro?! You sound fucking insane! You're talking about her like she's an object! I didn't believe it when people said you were obsessed with her after watching her life unfold, but now I can see it—the crazy look in your eyes! You definitely want her for more than just a daughter, and that is so damn wrong!"
"Is that so?" Poseidon said menacingly. "Our brothers and even Mother think similarly. Our pantheon normalized incestuous relationships. Why should my feelings for Percilla be any different?"
Adamas clenched his jaw. "While I'll admit there are complicated relationships in our pantheon, there has never been a record of a father-daughter relationship! I don't know if the gods in Percy's world have it, but that doesn't matter! In our pantheon, that's a line no one crosses! We actually think a parent-child sexual relationship is disgusting—everyone except you!"
"If the Egyptians can do it, then that kind of relationship is not wrong!" Poseidon countered.
"Well, the Egyptians are not us! We Greeks are different from them!" Adamas yelled back.
Poseidon sneered, his voice dripping with venom. "Different? Different how, Adamas? We're gods! We have ichor, not blood! We create the rules. Mortals and other beings do what they're told. If I choose to keep Percilla by my side, then it's my divine right! You and the others don't get to decide that for me!"
Adamas's fists clenched tighter, his entire body trembling with fury. "You've lost it, Poseidon! There's a difference between ruling over others and controlling your own daughter like a damn prisoner! She's not some prize or possession to keep locked away! She's her own person!"
Poseidon spat on the ground in defiance. "I know what's best for her! Percilla belongs in my realm—under my protection. She's too naïve and innocent to understand her place in this world. I will make sure she stays where she's supposed to be, by my side!"
"Protection?!" Adamas roared, his eyes blazing with rage. "You call this protection?! How about what she feels, you lunatic?! Do you even care about her feelings at all? What's next? Chains and a cage?! Is that your idea of fatherhood?!"
Poseidon's eyes flickered dangerously as he tried to rise slightly against his bonds, but the skeletons kept their hold. His voice lowered into a growl. "Of course I care about her feelings, but once she understands my love for her, she'll accept it. I won't let her leave, no matter what. Percilla is meant to be with me, and I will not lose her to anyone! Once I escape these binds, I will come after Hades and take her back!"
"If she stays with you, you will drive her away!" Adamas shot back. "She will live in fear of you! You're so blinded by your obsession that you can't even see it! Don't you realize how you're becoming a monster? I hope Hades continues to keep her from you!"
Poseidon's face twisted into a snarl. "I see that you will never understand me, just like Mother and our brothers! I'll do whatever it takes to keep Percilla in my realm. You think you're so high and mighty, Adamas? You think you know everything? Percilla needs a father! She needs me!"
Adamas shook his head, his voice filled with disgust. "No, what she needs is to get away from a shitty father like you before you completely destroy her! This isn't love, Poseidon—it's madness! You're nothing more than a spoiled brat, and Percilla deserves someone better than you!"
"Enough!" Poseidon thundered, his eyes flashing with fury. "You don't know anything! Once she's back in my grasp, she'll come to understand. She will see that I'm the only one she needs! The only one who can protect her and keep her safe!"
Adamas threw his hands up, exasperated. "You're delusional, brother! If you keep this up, you're going to suffocate her! And the more you cling to her like this, the more she's going to fight back! Do you really want to push her so far away that she never comes back?"
Poseidon glared at Adamas, his face a mask of fury and defiance. "You think you can lecture me? You think you know what's best for her? She's mine to protect. Mine to keep. I don't need your approval!"
Adamas stepped forward, his eyes locked onto Poseidon's. "You're going to lose her, Poseidon. And when you do, don't come crying to me. Because if you keep this up, you're going to be left with nothing but ashes."
"I don't need to hear any more nonsense from you! Just leave!" the tyrant snapped.
"Fucking fine! I don't want to waste my time here anyway! Rot on this island for all I care!"
With that, Adamas turned on his heel, the weight of his words hanging heavy in the air. Poseidon's silence followed him as he walked away, the clash of their wills leaving the desolate island even more broken than before.
