Chapter 405: Meeting Poseidon (2)

Me and my bonds then followed Amphitrite to outside the kingdom and underwater as she opened a portal to her palace which when we entered wasn't like the one in Neelofar.

In Neelofar, the kingdom itself is in this giant bubble underwater, but not this one, everything, building, people, food...it's all underwater. We swam to the palace and entered it, I'm surprised that each furniture is staying still in one place without it floating around but again I live in a fantasy world, I stopped questioning things a long time ago.

We head inside to the throne room where Poseidon seems to be waiting for us. he's about 184 cm tall, looks to be in his early 40s, very muscular, have slightly long black hair, dark green eyes and black trimmed beard. In his hand is a golden trident. Amphitrite did a small curtsy before heading toward a throne next to his and sat on it.

"Well lord Poseidon or whatever you want me to address you as, do you think that you can give me some clues to find your 2 sons, specifically Pegasus and Arion."

"I've heard." he nodded "It would be hard."

"Well just know, to save time, I will not do what you say in return for information. Killing Cain is something I'll do with or without God's help, even helping Lucifer, Adam and Eve to bring them to where they want to go. Following his request is only going to make things easy."

"Well I was only going to request for you to accept our offer to become a temporary Olympian in the future till we find a proper replacement, but...it seems like you won't accept it."

"Well I'm not doing his work. I have wings, trained under Horus, so taking his part as lord of the sky seems fine, but he have many other duties, no?"

"He does, ruler and protector of humanity. Law, order and things along the line of that." Poseidon answered "Though if it's him, yeah...he really doesn't fit the description, if we remove the stories of him messing around with women, about 50% of our stories would've disappeared."

"And in those stupid movies, they would always be like 'You are the son of Zeus' and other bullshit, like as if that's special. I bet that if you actually do a proper survey, 10% of their population would be someone related to him."

"I can safely say that I would agree, but he's still my brother whether I love him or not. Well Pegasus and Arion, personally I really like the fact that you came to me for help, but even for me, it's very hard for me to find them."

"Aren't you father of horses, god of seas, storms, and earthquakes?"

"I am. But those 2 world travel more than celestials, Arion despite being a magic beast all his magic goes to his speed. He was a swift horse before, but due to being a divine being, the more he runs, the faster he gets. He runs so fast through the speed force that he can-"

"Sorry for the interruption, just stop there. I don't want an explanation that make it sound like we're in the flash, so he runs so fast that he create portals. So just stop it there."

-Great, so how do we catch him?- Ace asked -He would run so fast creating a lot of friction and heat to melt ay ice we try to freeze him with.-

-Yeah, so catching Arion is basically trying to capture the flash. And our job is to tame him which requires him to be still for a bit.- Damon added

-My new gauntlets that is infused with the power of time would work since it can slow things down, but...we need to be able to hit him quite a few times to slow him down.-

-Yeah, you don't want to waste your time stopping powers on that horse.- Dabria advised -Many gods and goddesses want that horse too, some more than God. They might come in to steal him before our very eyes, so save it for then.-

-And what's stopping that horse to run so fast that he won't be able to be affected by your time stop?- Diana asked

-Let's just capture Pegasus first since he's the one we need and Arion is optional anyway. Besides Pegasus might be able to negotiate with his brother to come along with us.- Siege suggested

"That's basically it." Poseidon nodded "He can run over water, vertical buildings...etc. Unless I'm there to talk things with him, I doubt he would want to be 'tamed'. Pegasus on the other hand, yeah, you'd want him to approach you instead, which is the only way to somewhat tame him. Or catch him by surprised and put the golden bridle on him."

"Fuck."

-Dabria is the goddess of life, right? Wouldn't she have some power over a horse?- Siege asked

-I would, but that horse isn't born in our world.- Dabria replied

"What if I kidnap you, tie you up and bring you to him and threaten that I will kill you if he doesn't cooperate?"

"As funny as that sounds, it wouldn't work." Amphitrite chuckled "They wouldn't care less about my husband since he wasn't really there to raise them or be there for any of them throughout their lives."

"Heck, they would encourage you to kill me." Poseidon agreed

-Say, God never said I can't steal right?-

-Your point?- Damon asked -You're going to steal some sort of animal translator? Or sedatives that work on divine majestic beasts?-

-Sedatives, yes. I'll go steal some from Asclepius. But I also thought of something else, either way, we need to be quick, so I'll steal some shoes from Hermes' collection.-

-Isn't it sandals technically?- Diana asked

-When we met him, he wore regular shoes that has wings, time has changed, maybe, maybe you can find a Nike knockoff somewhere to anger the goddess while you're at it.- Ace joked

-Are you insane?- Dabria asked -Hera's garden is one thing, but Hermes' quarters is in Olympus, sneaking in there is like trying to Naruto run into Area 51 by yourself.-

-So Naruto running into Olympus is an option?-
