The Spartan of Olympus

Day of Darkness

A slender beautiful woman ran through the woods of Sparta in the year 400BC, in her arms was a baby boy, a baby spartan. She ran through the woods as fast as she could her legs screaming for relief, but she refused to give them any. Her baby was in danger she had to get to the sea.

The voices behind her were getting closer, one in particular. The god of war, Ares was after her child "Find that sea spawn, don't let her get to the ocean." Hearing that she only ran faster till she could run no longer, but she had made it to the waters of Sparta. A figure rose out of the water as if feeling his lovers presence. "Poseidon help our child, please." After what seemed like forever Poseidon responded, "I can not it is against the laws, how I wish I could Opal." Was his sincere reply. "Please, save our Perseus, don't let him die!"

As she said this a long broad sword was driven through her back, Ares had killed her. "Ares what are you doing?" Poseidon asked horrified at the sight of his dead lover. "My job Poseidon, Zeus says the boy can not live I can not disobey him." Ares retorted."Ares you don't have to kill him, you don't have to turn into Zeus. You stand for war not murder. War holds honor what is honorable about killing a month old defenseless baby?" Poseidon asked in hope of saving his child's life. " I...I don't know Poseidon, but if I don't kill the boy who will take care of him?" "I will, laws or not I will raise my son." was his answer as he bent down and picked up his child. "So be it Poseidon, I will tell Zeus he's dead he will no nothing of the boy, I will not betray you I swear it on the Styx.

Poseidon sunk into the water with Perseus and headed to Atlantis.

? P.O.V

I sat atop my throne waiting for Poseidon to return he said he had some things he had to do, as I waited for his return I sat and thought of our son triton and if he'd want a new baby brother. Yes that would be great a new godling. She only hoped that Poseidon would stop having affairs with other women. It hurt every time he claimed another one of his children. Was I not good enough for him anymore.

"Amphitrite!" Came his voice he was here, but he sounded worried.

Poseidon's P.O.V

I called her name hoping she would allow me to keep Perseus. I walked into the throne room of my palace and seen her walking towards me. Once she seen the child she looked infuriated. "What is this Poseidon another one of your halflings. Why have you brought him here, I hope you don't mean to keep him. He can't stay."She said in a harsh and cold tone. "Please, let him stay his mother was killed he has nowhere to go, let me keep him and raise him. All my other children were killed by Zeus so his child can be the one to fulfill the prophecy." "Am I not good enough to satisfy you Poseidon, do I not look good enough for you. Do you realize how hard it is to be betrayed over and over again. I haven't had a single child with anyone but you. Yet you continue to hurt me." came her sad response with a broken look in her eyes. "I never realised you felt that way I do love you very much, but please let him stay. Raise him as your own, but don't let him die. I will never betray you again if you do this for me, I swear on the river Styx.

After seemingly forever she replied, "Fine, I will raise him as one of mine." I happily kissed her and held both of them close to me. I meant to keep my promise.

416BC

The sound of metal clashing together could be heard throughout the palace. Sword on sword. "Give up you can't defeat me Triton," Comes the voice of the boy. He quickly feints left and kicks right. But his move was anticipated and was easily parried. the boy ducks under his left head swipe and jabs to quickly kick his legs out from under him. Then puts his sword to his opponents throat "yield?" came the expected question. His opponent uses his free hand to push the flat of the boys blade away from his throat and quickly stands up. "never" another expected reply. Triton uses the boy as a spring board to get behind him, but as he's about to put his blade to his neck the boy does a high kick and tritons blade goes flying up until the boy without even looking catches his blade and expertly surrounds his sword and tritons around tritons own neck while he is still standing behind him. "Yield now triton?" was the reply of the boy. "Yes Little Brother." "Triton your only like a hundred years older than me." he said slightly annoyed. "whatever Perseus!" He said his name like he was trying to make fun of it.

"Boys," I said "no more fighting." I said to my children. "OK dad, where's mom?" Perseus asked, I truly loved him he was my and Amphitrite's everything, our pride. We loved triton as much as Perseus, but Perseus was incredible he defeated triton in any weapon. Triton was by far the best in Atlantis until Perseus that is. He preferred to be called Percy, but Triton refused to call him anything but Perseus, only to annoy his brother.

Percy's P.O.V

Triton knew I didn't like being called Perseus so he does it anyway, sometimes he really gets on my nerves. Anyway we were talking about our last duel and I had zoned out to think about him annoying me by the time I zoned back in on the conversation he was just saying "-do you do it Perseus you yet again demolished me!" When I heard him say that a small smirk crept up onto my face. " I have my ways." was my smart reply. "whatever Perseus." he laughed.

As we just finished our conversation mom and dad walked up to us. "hey mom," I said as I wrapped her into a tight embrace. "Hello Percy." she said. Triton then embraces mom with just as much ferocity. "So dad anything you want to talk about." "yes Percy actually I would like you to stay in your room all afternoon. Okay?" he said seriously. "Yeah did I do something wrong?" I countered, "no its just that Apollo and Artemis are coming today." "oh." was my very serious response. "When are they coming?"

Poseidon's P.O.V

When he asked that question I felt a small tingle in the back of my head that signals another Olympian entering my domain. A horrified look came on my face "Now!" "what?" Percy asks me. "They are coming now hurry pe-" I was cut off by two flashes of light and a familiar voice. "What's up uncle P." Apollo asks "Yeah Poseidon what is up. And who's the kid with triton." "oh I'm fine and this is uhh..." "Poseidon you didn't have another child did you." Artemis asks curiously "No I didn't," I say and it was the truth, mostly anyways. "than why does he look exactly like you?" This time Apollo asks. "This isn't another child of mine he's a child of mine that Ares was supposed to kill sixteen years ago, but didn't so he's not new," I answered mumbling the last part.

"No it can't be...him, Zeus will kill him when I tell him about this boy!" She said boy like she always does, like it is the worst thing in the world. "Please Artemis don't..." but she had already flashed out.
