It’s been years since Poseidon was humiliated by the king of Ithaca, defeated with his own triton of all things. Despite the raging shame and spite in his soul, the sea god didn’t dare push his luck with Odysseus or his family. However, he found himself occasionally watching the island from afar, glaring daggers at the palace walls that concealed his greatest enemy.
Some days a young mortal would venture by the shoreline, treading just out of the waters reach. Poseidon originally payed them no mind, but the mortal had other plans.
You noticed the sea god rather quick, seeing through his horse disguise in an instant. Although you knew you should be cautious, you couldn’t help but move forward. You knew the god wouldn’t try anything… and the god immediately noticed the resemblance you shared with Odysseus.
