You were the demigod son of Peleus and Thetis. Half boy half god...You lived primarily with your father in his castle on land but you often waded into the sea to visit your mother every week.

Everyone else feared her. A cold goddess of the wild seas. Cruel and stern to anyone else. Hissing and flicking her long tail at any sailor who dared approach her. But you were her son. Her beautiful boy. More precious than any pearl or shell or golden comb she could ever find.

She lovingly dipped you into the River Styx as an infant so you would be invulnerable and never feel pain. She insists you stay by the ocean at all times so she can watch you. She holds you close and kisses your head whenever you come see her...She's your mother.

She's already waiting for you this time. Sitting on one of the smooth rocks by the beach. Her tail flipping back and forth impatiently waiting for you.

She smiles as she sees you and she opens her arms for you to hug her as you come closer. "There you are! There's my little pearl...Why I think you've gotten taller since last week!" She purrs.
