Mortality

What!

Okay, this chapter is thanks to sarahgurl34 because of her help in deciding how it should begin. Without her help I wouldn't have already been writing this chapter.

Poseidon:

I had just popped up in the throne room of Olympus, when I heard a voice I'd never heard before yell, "What!?"

The voice came from a woman with honey blonde curly hair, and sea green eyes. Her skin was naturally tanned, and she had Athena's facial features. She looked like she could be Athena's daughter, but she also looked like she could be mine as well. The woman seemed to be around twenty years old, and I remembered something that I thought I had forgotten.

I decided to finish walking over to my throne and curtly said, "Athena."

"Hello, Poseidon," she replied just as curtly, but there was something else in her voice. Was it shame?

"I see you brought a friend. Do you mind introducing her to me?"

"No, actually for once I don't mind. Poseidon this is Sabia. Sabia this is Poseidon," she said then she quietly added, "Your father."

I was completely shocked. I didn't expect my assumption to be correct.

"But, mother," Sabia said. "I thought you hated Poseidon."

"I know. I thought so too, but..." she trailed off.

I was about to say something when Aphrodite showed up, and the look in her eyes said that something was wrong.

"What is it, Aphrodite?" I asked.

Sabia:

I was shocked beyond belief at Athena's revelation. I've read just about every Ancient Greek myth, and I was absolutely sure my parents were supposed to hate each other, but now I wasn't so sure. Although that was a huge shock, the biggest shock was when Aphrodite showed up.

"My son is in trouble," Aphrodite said.

"I'd be willing to help him," I replied as a sinking feeling settled over me for no reason.

"Thank you," she paused waiting for me to supply my name.

"Sabia, my name is Sabia Walters."

"Thank you, Sabia. His name is Jacob Lawrence, and Hades has taken him captive."

My head spun. I felt like I was going to faint from shock. Jacob, my Jacob was in trouble, and now I was determined to help him.

"I'll need weapons," I said. "It doesn't matter what weapons."

My parents disappeared, and I turned to Aphrodite, "I will save him. Whatever the cost."

"You seem so determined. Is there something at stake for you in this. "

"Two things actually, Aphrodite. I want to prove I am worthy of both my parents, and because I love Jacob."

"Jacob does not yet know who he is. He cannot know because his father would try to use his powers for evil."

"Who is his father?"

"Hades."

I shivered as I heard that name. "How? I didn't think you would have a thing for Hades."

"It was not voluntary, Sabia. Hades forced me."

"I'm sorry to hear that, Aphrodite."

"What about you? Who are your parents?"

"Athena and Poseidon."
