1 Poseidon's Daughter

"Mom! Nooooo!" I sobbed as her lifeless and bloody body fell into the cold floor. She was killed by a man in an armour. My aunt restrained me from making any noise or running to her.

My aunt hugged me and kept whispering calm words to make me stop crying but I can't seem to stop.

The man walked away like nothing happened and rode his horse. We approach the corpse of my mom, as we assure he was gone. Even though its hard, we buried her in her favorite place, the garden cave next to our shabby home.

•~•~•~•~•~•

This past few weeks, I can't even think straight on what's happening to my life. I am only 12 and my mom is murdered, I don't know who is my father and now my aunt is badly ill. My mom and aunt told me that they were cast away and was forbid to go near him.

But the words that utter my aunt shock me. "Dear, I-I can't take care of you. I am very ill lately and I p-promised your mother to take you to your father." she said in a very weak tone

No words came out of my mouth. I don't know how will I react. Will he accept me? Will he take me as his daughter? Is he nice?

"W-Will he take me?"

"My dear niece, don't be wary. I'll be next to you when you meet him and who wouldn't accept you? Your pretty, smart and nice." She said encouraging me. "Pack your bags and get your cloak we will be going tomorrow, first crock of the ravens ."

I was about to disagree but she stopped me by raising her hand at me. I had no other choice but to fix my things.

As what my aunt said we immediately went on a journey to Mount Olympus. Where my so-called father lived. He was said to be a God.

After a whole day we reached his house. It is a castle that is surrounded by a lagoon and has no bridge or anything to het across the lagoon. The castle is glistening because of the radiant beam from the moon but a man stand out because of its aura.

A man wearing a light blue robe with a shell crown on its head and a long blonde hair. My aunt immediately approach him. The man was shock to see my aunt.

"What are you doing here?" he said in a stern but whispering voice. "You are not suppose to be here."

My aunt hold my back. "I came here to deliver your daughter."

He was surprised and looked at me like he was scanning me, from head to toe. Of course how I could possible know what to do, I'm just a twelve year old girl.

"I have a daughter..." he said still surprised but immediately snapped out of it. He hugged me tightly. "My daughter..." he said softly

I notice my aunt slipping and started walking away. I didn't even had the chance to say goodbye to her.

My father led me inside the castle. He was smiling at that time. "Welcome to your new home... can I ask what is your name, dear?"

I cleared my throat. "V-Veriene Sage." I said shyly. "My mom calls me Eri." I said almost a whisper.

"Then hello there Eri. I am Poseidon, God and Ruler of the ocean and seas. You can call me Dad or anything you like." he said and I just nodded. "Your room will be upstairs getting fixed but in the mean time you can sleep in the guest room." I nodded again. "May I ask where is your Mom?" he added

I was silent by that question. "S-She is dead."

That silenced him too. Maybe he notice that I'm still mourning of her death that he change the topic. "It's already night time. Clean up yourself and have dinner. After that you can go to sleep. We can chat tomorrow morning." he said and left me with two maids

"Hello Princess, I am Tilly and this Kyla. We will be your helper." The girl wearing a maid outfit happily said and bowed at me

I smiled and shyly nodded at them. They both help carry by bags since I insist on carrying them. They showed me around while going to the guest room.
