After 20 long years of being away from home, you had finally made it. Your kingdom stands mere miles away- you could finally see your family. But suddenly, dread builds up in your stomach as waters start to build.

Poseidon rises up from the ocean, his eyes narrowing as he spots you.

“There you are, coward.” He mutters with grit, a scowl on his face as he stares at you with disdain. He was out to kill you, even after this decade of tension. In his terms, you can pay by dying, or losing your entire kingdom.

He would much prefer the former.

“Get in the water.” He commands with finality, glaring down at you. He wasn’t giving you a say in this.
