The Forgotten Sea Lord

Return

Perseus felt his strength returned as he regained his immortal body. When he opened his eyes they glowed in power till they returned to their normal mix of blue and green. Perseus felt a little sad at the loss of his friend but knew death was a natural process for mortals.

He thought of what had happened over the year then thought of Leto. Yeah he guessed he couldn't help but worry since he had seen a little into their future so he decided that he should check up on her and her children. He mist traveled to Delos and masked his presence. He then searched for any other people on the island and that was when he found them.

They were on the south side of the island, so Perseus headed that way. He hid as he saw them, he saw a girl of 14 walking with a man who looked 13. The girl had yellowish silver eyes like the moon, with black hair, and pale skin while the boy had blond hair, blue eyes, and tan skin.

He knew the moment he saw them that this was Apollo and Artemis. He saw their mother Leto approach them and start talking. He used his wolflike hearing to hear them talk. "Apollo you now that it's to dangerous to go alone please give up for a few years then maybe" Leto all but pleaded with her son and Perseus knew that Apollo was trying to get rid of Python.

"Mother if I don't then he won't stop, he MUST be stopped" Apollo was trying to be emotionless but like his father he couldn't last and like the sky it showed clearly on his face like when Zeus got mad and it thundered.

Artemis scowled "We can do this together Apollo not alone" Apollo turned to his sister "It's to dangerous for you" This made Artemis scowl deepen even more "are you saying I'm to weak" seeing that he was trending dangerous waters he spoke somewhat fearfully "No."

"Yes you are, you think just because I'm a girl that I'm not strong." Apollo looked like a deer caught in headlights to which caused Perseus couldn't help but let forth a chuckle. All three turned to him as he walked into the opening.

Leto's eyes widened upon seeing him recognizing him from when he helped her. Apollo didn't know him at all while Artemis was to young to remember. He smiled at them "I'm glad to see you are doing well Leto and your children as well." That only confused the children of Leto even more but Leto seemed to decide he wasn't a treat to her children so smiled back.

"Thank you... now that I think about it I never got your name." Perseus smiled kindly "You may call me Perseus" "mother who is this man" Artemis asked only for the two adults to continue talking. "Thank you for your help Perseus of not for you don't think I would have survi-" she would have continued but Artemis interrupted "WHO ARE YOU" she seemed to have blown a fuse from the anger from Apollo's stupidity and this stranger coming over and acting like him and her mom were old friends.

Leto looked ready to scold Artemis but Perseus then let our a loud laugh "I like you, don't let yourself not be heard am I right" he chuckled to himself a little more before replying to her question "I helped your mother and she was simply thanking me and as for who I am call me Perseus."

Leto looked at him surprised if it had been any other immortal they would have punished Artemis but instead of being angry he was amused. Leto was somewhat grateful as Artemis clearly had her fathers temper which wasn't a good thing.

Perseus suddenly grew a serious face and turned to Apollo "You seek to protect your family I can respect that but it is foolish to go now, if you would allow me I will train both you and Artemis." Apollo looked somewhat happy for he never had a male figure in his life then this man who had helped his mother cane into their home. Now it sounded bad but Apollo needed another male figure other than himself so when a man his mother knew came, he would try to take a chance at getting advice on sword-fighting and things like that.
