Sleep

It had been some years since I met my siblings and once, I could talk, speak my name. As a god, I grew fast but strangely not to adulthood. I felt my father's energy suppressing me, I had time to think about my current situation.

I was the second male born not the first as Poseidon took that title, which had me wondering if this was the only change. All I had to do was relax and laze till Zeus gets his bearings and frees us.

As I was ready to take my nap of the day or night, hard to tell, Poseidon called for me.

" Hades let us spar again," with a groan I rise from my position to stare into his eyes. I regret introducing him to the little games such as wrestling, he just began to drag me into it more.

" No, I wish to rest, and you are impeding my slumber."

With a smile, Poseidon continues, " But it is such a bore to do nothing, our sisters tend to keep to each other, and I have nothing to do."

A sigh escapes from me, " So your plan was to terrorize me was it, and knowing you, you won't give up."

Offering his hand, Poseidon beams a smile, " I knew you would come around brother." " Let's just get this over with."

" On three."

" One, two." I immediately tackle him, knowing he was ready to do the same, and with that our spar continues.

Lying beside Poseidon, after our little spar, he asks me a question.

" Do you think we'll ever leave here?" Opening my eye to look at him, I simply reply, "Yes."

" How so, for all I know we are just stuck here staring at the insides of our father, he knows where we go within him and keeps his vitals locked away and eternity trapped."

Moving to my side to look at my brother. "We just have to wait for an opportunity and stop frowning I hear you grow ugly if you do so."

" And where did you hear that from,"

"Hera of course, instead of worrying just sleep."

Following my advice, he begins to relax.

"Hades."

"Yes."

"I see why you sleep so much."

"It's the quiet, right."

"Yeah."

With that, I got my peace.
