Poseidon

Dekaéxi

He spins around, his eyes meet mine; wild and untamed meet wary and curious. His hair flows around him as if he was suspended in water and the air seems to almost crackle around him with every heave of his large chest. Something suddenly seems to dawn within his expressive eyes and his swiftly exits the room.  

The large room now seems empty and hollow as I drag my feet towards the door and shut it gently. I press my head on the cool wood and pull in a large sigh, exhaling and calming my mind.  

Poseidon P.O.V 

I practically race through the halls yet my mind runs faster. What was that? Hades, why did I do that? It has been years since I've even thought of someone in that light and even longer since - gamó! The beast within me has laid dormant for years and yet one small action from a woman that I've known for not even a day has him rising his head and battling within my mind for dominance. "Gamiméni kólasi,  GAMIMÉNI KÓLASI!!" I scream and pound the walls with my fists, what is it about her, why her?  

I run down the halls, burst through the doors and sprint to the shore, my heart pounds a tattoo in my chest as I scream "CLOTHO, LACHESIS, ATROPOS I SUMMON YOUR PRESENCE AND ASSISTANCE!" Then I wait, I sink my feet into the surf and allow the gentle waves to calm my heart. 5 minutes pass and I get increasingly impatient. I breathe deeply and begin to shout the summons again when I am interrupted by the appearance of the three sisters.  

The three women before me are, unsurprisingly, unlike how the mortals on earth depict them. They are not ugly, old, lame despite their age yet all gods do not age so why would the Moirai be any different. The three women in front of me exude beauty and seduction despite their roles et they are still nearly as severe and stern and described by humans. Their white robes flow in the light sea breeze and compliment their porcelain skin.  

"Poseidon?" Clotho interrupts my thought.  

"Ladies, thank you for meeting me at such short notice but I was wondering after information that only you could provide." Their skeptical expressions make me elaborate on my statement. "I am baffled that you do not know why you have been summoned but I shall not question it. A mortal woman has joined me in my home, she has the most peculiar connection, you could call it, with the sea and I am wondering why." 

The three women exchange knowing glances before chanting in synchronization "She shall be brought to him, when she is fit to understand, stand loyal and strong, and when the time is right for the shards of a broken life to be fixed, when life seems so unbearable it seems as though it can never be righted. Then and only then can the threads become intertwined." 

Their words linger in the breeze as their white robed bodies fade from reality, leaving only a scroll containing the prophecy where they stood.  

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!! :)
