Poseidon's Daughter

Chapter 4

Previously

After 20 minutes in the water, I feel brave enough and I dive in deeper into the water, everything looks so clear. I come up from the water and I see that I have been pulled in deeper than what I expected, my mum is going to be pissed. I try to move forward but I can't, the current is pulling me in and under. 'So much for being a daughter of Poseidon'.

All of a sudden I feel a hand grab my arm and pull me up, I look up and see...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I see someone who looks like dad, I gasp slightly. "Are you okay, girl?" he asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine, the current was stronger than expected," I tell him, trembling slightly, he feels powerful but not as much as dad does.

"You should be careful next time," I nod awkwardly. I mean, I am far away from the shore, I can't reach the ground with my feet, I look like a drowned rat, and he is holding me up from sinking, even Percy from the books can swim better than me at my age, this is embarrassing.

He looks like a snob, he just has that type of face, He might be Triton, if he is, then what is he doing here?

"Come, let me take you to shore," he says, leaving no room to argue, he walks slowly through the water, dragging me with him. I feel very intimidated by him.

I get the courage to finally speak, "Who are you?" I ask him.

"My name is Triton," he tells me.

I knew it, he treated Percy really badly, and they would fight. I don't want to fight with anyone. From what I remember, he strives on arrogance, maybe he is not so bad.

"Your name sounds familiar, oh, I know," I say enthusiastically, "at school we learned some history, and I remember reading about Greek mythology, your name was mentioned, 'Triton, the messenger of the sea'. It's funny cause you saved me from drowning." I say to him.

He cracks a smile, "Indeed, that is my name. What is yours?"

"My name is Rhea".
