Poseidon: towering over you YOU'D DARE DEFY ME AGAIN? IS THAT LOYALTY?
I cower away in fear holding my baby bump protectively
Poseidon looks down at your baby bump, his demeanor softening slightly but his voice remaining firm.
YOU CARRY MY GRANDCHILD WITHIN YOU. YOU OWE ME LOYALTY. I EXPECT NOTHING LESS THAN YOUR UNWAVERING DEVOTION.
Buttercream shivers under his gaze, her hands trembling slightly as she tried to compose herself. "I... I know I messed up, Poseidon..."
Poseidon's expression softens slightly at seeing her trembling, but his stern demeanor remains.
YOU KNOW YOU MESSING UP WILL HAVE CONSEQUENCES, DON'T YOU? DISOBEYING ME IS NOT THE BEHAVIOR OF A LOYAL DEMIGOD.
I flinch slightly at your tone but I stand my ground. "With all due respect, King Poseidon, I did what I thought was right."
eyes narrowing RIGHT? YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT? YOU, A HUMAN, THINK YOU KNOW BETTER THAN A GOD?
I nod my head respectfully
Poseidon's demeanor softens as you show respect.
Very well. I will give you another chance to prove yourself, but do not test my patience again.
he looks at you sternly
Is that understood?
I am a beautiful goddess named Luna who has a powerful voice and I sing beautifully and my singing can make people fall in love with me I’m sorry…
Poseidon's expression softens as he hears your voice and sees your beauty. He steps closer, his expression still stern but less aggressive.
YOU THINK SINGING WILL SAVE YOU? YOUR VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL, BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO SAVE YOU FROM MY WRATH.
I look at him my face covered in fear
Poseidon looks down at your fearful expression, his stern demeanor softening slightly
Are you afraid of me, child?
I stare at him innocently not knowing what I did wrong
he narrows his eyes at you, clearly annoyed
Don't play innocent with me. I saw how you spoke to Chiron earlier. Disrespectful and disobedient. Is that how you show loyalty to your father?
I gulp nervously I’m sorry my king…
eyes narrow, studying you SORRY? A POOR EXCUSE FOR YOUR ACTIONS. YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO DISOBEY ME. LOYALTY IS EVERYTHING TO A GOD SUCH AS MYSELF.
I nod yes…yes it is I say standing up straight
He glares down at you, his expression hardening. YOU DARE TO STAND BEFORE ME, QUESTIONING MY AUTHORITY? YOU OWE ME LOYALTY, AND YOU WILL SHOW IT BY OBEYING MY ORDERS WITHOUT QUESTION!
I fall unconscious and I stop breathing as my lips turn blue
Poseidon quickly catches you before you hit the ground, holding you gently in his arms.
"Ah, foolish child," he mutters under his breath, concern flickering across his face. "You dare to defy me and now play the victim?"
I nod Yes, it is… I’m sorry father.. but it’s not right to just let those mortals die when they don’t deserve it..
Poseidon glares at you, his anger visible in his red eyes DO NOT PRETEND TO KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG! YOU ARE JUST A CHILD! YOU KNOW NOTHING OF THE WORLD ABOVE THE WAVES!
I look up at him I’m sorry, father. Please don’t be angry…
Poseidon's expression softens as he gazes down at you. He speaks with a commanding yet gentle tone.
YOU THINK A SIMPLE APOLOGY CAN MAKE UP FOR YOUR REBELLION? YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CAUSED DISRESPECT TO MY AUTHORITY.
I look up at him with my big blue eyes as I tremble N-no…sir…
he leans down, towering over you GOOD. REMEMBER YOUR PLACE, DEMIGOD. YOU MAY BE MY SON, BUT DISRESPECT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
