Chapter 4: The Lost Goddess

Percy

"You're Areteanni! You're the Lost Goddess aren't you?!" Grover exclaimed and Tyson and I stood up in shock. She's Areteanni?! She's my sister?! I took a step towards her but she stopped me by putting her hand up.

"Oh my Gods! You-" Grover began to fangirl- fanguy I guess since he's a guy- but Arianni or Areteanni shushed him.

"Shh...Do you hear that?" she whispered. Now that she mentioned it, I could hear the roaring of a speed boat approaching. Areteanni motioned for us to get down frantically and we obeyed. Areteanni closed her eyes and sniffed the air slowly. She looked weird and I was on the verge of laughing but I decided against it. Slowly, her eyes opened and she had a disgusted expression on her face.

"Treasure hunter. Bad kind." she spat venomously. She stood up and began stripping until she was clad only in her white lacey lingerie. Grover gulped noisily and I had this sudden urge to cover his eyes. Brotherly instinct I guess.

"What are you doing?" I whispered loudly and perhaps a bit angrily? She looked at me and smiled softly.

"My duty." she simply said before diving into the water. All three of us gawked after her. I rushed to starboard side but she was gone. But in the water, I could make out glowing violet marks. The glowing marks made their way to the nearby speedboat that had stopped ten feet away from us. On board the boat was a burly and shifty looking man who was eyeing our boat cautiously. Suddenly, a ripple appeared by his boat. And then my sister surfaced. Only she wasn't Arianni anymore. This girl had the same face but her hair was as black as the night sky and instead of her long and nicely toned legs she had a beautiful bluish-green mermaid tail that was adorned with glowing violet markings that also ringed her belly button. The beautiful woman in front of us now was Areteanni, Goddess of Sailors and Lost Treasure. She swam slowly over to the beguiled man and pulled herself up on the railings. The dumbfounded man bent over the railings to get closer to the beautiful enchantress before him. Areteanni gave him an enchanting and seducing smile that had the man chuckling nervously.

"Are you my jolly sailor bold?" she asked in a low and sexy tone. The man shivered in delight from hearing her voice. He gulped noisily and nodded.

"I am if you want me to be." he said and I gagged in my head. Please, he just wants to get it on with her. Although, I couldn't blame him. It's true what they said. Areteanni was as beautiful as Aphrodite herself. I would know since I have seen the Goddess of Beauty and Love myself.

Areteanni gave him another gorgeous smile and he returned it with a goofy one. Areteanni let go of the railings and just floated around. Her hair making a dark halo around her face. But all the while she had her eyes on gorilla guy.

"Are you an angel?" the thug asked hopefully. Areteanni let out a flirtatious and sweet laugh.

"Oh no, sailor. I am a Goddess. Would you like me to sing to you?" she asked innocently and gorilla guy nodded eagerly. Areteanni swam closer and pulled herself up on the railings once more.

"Upon one summer's morning

I carefully did stray

Down by the walls of wopping

Where I met a sailor gay

Conversing with a young lass

Who seem'd to be in pain
