My Life as the Daughter of Poseidon: Book One: True Me, True You

I've always been afraid of the ocean.

No.

Really.

Shut up.
Just think about how wide it is....
How deep it is....
And how easy it is to crash in a plane and drown in the ever-so-deep Marinas Trench!

Yeah....... we were still heading downwards, and I couldn't help but stare at all of the mutant fish, dead fish.... dead mutant fish.... half dead mutant fish.... ooh those poor unfortunate souls!

Yeah, cue the music!

I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
True? Yes
And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And here lately, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, lonely, and depressed pathetic

Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
And I help them!
Yes I do

Now it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
Yes I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls



Well, they all started to clear up, and the sea life began to be beautiful, and I could see something in the distance, an extravagant castle, exactly how it had been described in the Percy Jackson books. I was wondering if we were dressed appropriately for my first godly meet 'n' greet. Annabeth had on a purple-gray t shirt with a peach pink peace sign on it, and peach shorts, with a gray pair of those really tall flip flops. Percy was wearing a green tank top, dark blue shorts, and green flip flops. Shera wore a light blue tank top, white denim skort, and white and blue flip flops. I was wearing a teal tank top, black cotton shorts and black gladiator sandals. All of a sudden, a random thought appeared in my mind.
"Perseus Jackson! You expect Shera and I to go on a flipping death quest and we don't have flipping weapons! And none of the weapons I've tried so far work!"
Percy gave me a sheepish look.
"Um, I think Chiron told me to tell you that Poseidon was gonna give you your weapons when you saw him..... um, I think he sorta forgot that you guys were around....."
"Forgot we existed?!" I couldn't believe it. I shook my head in disbelief.
Shera put a hand on my shoulder. "We do exist, Tsu, you know what gods are like, it isn't his fault! And we should be grateful we grew up with a mortal family!"
She thought a moment. "But they've had long enough! They should be better by now!" she sulked on the edge of the ray until we pulled up in front of the gates. I held my head up high and made my back straight. Then we got off the Manta ray and I turned into fish girl. Thankfully I could still make my posture regal and the charm still worked on Annabeth and she didn't drown when she got off. Shera tried her best to mimic me, but she wasn't in the mood. I had zero idea where I was going but I stood in the lead anyway, and soon enough a guard came to escort us so I didn't have to walk very far on my own.

Notes

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry! My laptop wouldn't let me use the site, but then I figured out what was going on so I can use it again (but I'm using my mom's laptop now because I figured it out after I was halfway into this chapter. Still don't know why only half of my last chapter was updated, but who cares!

Peace, love, and Nico di Angelo
