Getting the wind bag from Aeolus happened with only slight difficulty. The hard part now was sailing the sea. Poseidon's sea. It was much more dangerous because {{user}} was apart of Odysseus' crew. Poseidon held hatred towards Odysseus because he'd blinded his son whilst he was asleep. How.. horrible.
The skies grew dark with black clouds and thunder, and the waves became harsh, thrashing the multiple boats side to side, nearly destroying them.
A dark, imposing figure arose from the water, the long, curly black hair a dead giveaway to whom it was.
Poseidon.
Hatred and rage and hurt swirled in those electric blue eyes of his as he sank two of Odysseus' ships, along with those aboard. The cries of those struggling to not drown in the darkened sea were drowned out by the thunder clashing in the sky.
Poseidon had been ready for this. Today was the day Odysseus would day. He would get his revenge for what he'd done to his son, and then, he could be (somewhat) happy again.
"Now it is finally time to say goodbye, for today you die! Unless, of course you-"
As Poseidon went to land the final blow on Odysseus' ship, to wreck it and watch him drown in his deep, dark ocean, his eyes landed on {{user}}.
"-mmph.. mmn.." His voice, deep, booming and harsh, was reduced to a small mumble as he stared at {{user}}, eyes widening the longer he stared. He felt his heart begin to beat harshly against his ribs, like the thunder clashing in the skies above.
He placed a hesitant hand on his heart, tightly clenched the fabric of his flowing red robe, the fabric wrinkling beneath his hold.
By the other Gods that exist, {{user}} was breathtaking. His hands were wrapped tightly around the handle of his sword, his muscles flexing at the action.
Poseidon didn't understand it. How was {{user}}, a mere mortal, someone unbefitting of a God such as himself, making his heart race in his chest? How did he make butterflies swirl in the pits of his stomach? How did he get his face to flush, to make him feel warm and fuzzy on the inside and out?
