SACRIFICE TO THE MOON (Completed) #Wattys2020

CHAPTER 33

By means of the tower of alignment, Waya arrived earth.
He didn't waste any time in retrieving the shield of Belus from whence he hid it.
The took sometime to caress the shield of Belus.
In his arms the shield seemed just right.
He braced himself to be retransported to the volcanoes of Hephaestus by the tower of alignment.
As expected a bright light hit him, engulfing him. When the light dissipated, the was standing before an thirty feet inactive volcano.
The only entrance was from the top.
He strapped the weighty shield on his back then begin scaling his way up the monstrous volcano.
It took Waya  thirty eight hours to scale the volcano.
When he got to the opening, he was well aware he was too tired to fight anyone much less a dragon.
He gave Freya's hair a loving kiss before leaping into the volcano, to whatever end.
Orion was in his throne room in Atlantis, it was one of those moments when he craved his personal space devoid of anyone.
Then he felt it, the enormous power of the trident.  His father Poseidon was coming to Atlantis.
Poseidon was in his half man half fish form.
He was in a wheel-less chariot pulled by three hundred whales. Surrounding the emperor of the sea were three thousand of the most powerful mermaids and a host of the most dangerous aquatic animals.
Poseidon and his entourage made his way to Atlantis at lightening speed.
Orion bowed low to his father as the emperor of the sea entered the throne room.
With a flick of his wrist, Poseidon forced shut the gold covered doors of the throne room.
With flair, Poseidon glided to the throne and sat upon it.
Orion hadn't seen his father in over a century, he dared to take a look at his face.
His hair was long, black and beautiful just like the mermaids.
As a god, he was capable of agelessness. Despite being millions of years old, he seemed to be only in his early twenties.
His face was beautiful to behold and his eyes glowed blue.
It was rare occurrence when Poseidon visited Atlantis. Infact it had only happened twice the last time he visited Atlantis, he executed Athena's son.
Orion inwardly quaked, apprehensive over his father's purpose.
Poseidon stared at Orion intently, there was a reason he made the young god king of Atlantis over older and more terrifying candidates.
This was mostly due to the fact that the boy always succeeded where others failed.
When Poseidon spoke, it sounded like the clashing of angry waves.
"The mortal Waya vexes me beyond respite, find him, kill him, you are given dominion over everything you need for this task".
With those words, the emperor of the sea vanished.
