Chapter 3
"Triton? Like the immortal guy?" I asked him
"Yeah that's me. Well you must be dad's half blood kid. How's your brother Percy ? Still got an attitude problem?" He asked with distaste.
"Percy? I don't know him. Is he a guy with dark black hair and sea green eyes?" I said.
Riatta glared at Triton. "Never mind. Come with us. " she said in a hurry "lord Poseidon wants to meet you."
They swam downward through the floorleless rooms and I saw that I was in a room on the third floor. I observed Riatta looked at least somewhat like the Disney princess Ariel. Except for her green skin and golden eyes (which disturbed me) she was quite pretty.
Whereas Triton on the other hand looked really weird to me. He had two fish tails instead of one like the others and green skin like Riatta. He had long black hair which was tied in a ponytail. They slowed down and turned around. I had stopped. I realised what I was doing and continued to follow them.
I had never been so nervous and terrified at the same time in my entire life. Even in my dreams I never thought I was going to meet a god one day. I was wondering whether Poseidon would look like what he does in my school textbooks. I tried hard to keep up with the two of them.
"Does Poseidon look....like his statues or something?" I asked. Seeing the look on their faces I thought I had said something wrong. But Riatta just laughed and said "No he doesn't. The gods appearance adapts with the change in culture. So lord Poseidon's appearance will be according to the western civilization."
My ADHD brain didn't get that but I understood enough to know that Poseidon won't be old with a flowing white beard.
"We are here" Riatta said turning back. "I should go home. My mom will be worried." She smiled at me and held out her hand. "Nice meeting you Sophia. I hope you'll come and visit me often."
I took her hand "of course I will. Nice meeting you too!"
She swam downwards and we moved forward. On our right there was a glow of light far away. I stared at utopian wondering what it could be. Triton said "those are the forges. Cyclops work there. They make weapons for our warriors."
I saw someone coming towards us. As he came closer, I saw that he had only one big, brown eye. He blinked several times and waved at me. I turned to Triton and raised my eyebrows. "That's Tyson. He is a Cyclops. He's your half brother too."
Tyson yelled "brother!" He came in front of us and looked at me. "Who is this?"
Triton said "Tyson, this is uh..your sister...Percy's sister, Sophia."
Tyson made a squeaking noise and crushed me in a bear hug. "Tyson...can't ....breathe..." I choked. He let me go and said "Sorry. Come let's go to the palace. Daddy is waiting."
