The Masked Legend (PJO Fanfic)

A Talk with the Lord of Sea

" Bob........ How do you know him?" Poseidon asked. His eyes flashed dangerously signaling Sal to speak the truth or else Poseidon will turn him to Nemo. However, Sal's eye also turned dangerous. It turn to the eye color that Kronos has.

The masked hunter just looked at him and then tilted his head.

" Tartarus, of course." Sal casually replied like going to Tartarus was just a trip to Disneyland. The god of sea nodded and looked out at the sea. His eyes now shone with loneliness and yet peace at the same time. Poseidon suddenly smiled slightly. The sea suddenly became calmer than before if it was possible.

" You really do remind of my son." He spoke to Sal. His eyes shown with memories from the past. But Sal didn't answer and he didn't know why he didn't. Maybe because he was too afraid of answering. Maybe he was just scared to let his emotions out. After all, time heals all wounds but it will leave a scar. Scars that will never fade away.

" My son Percy wasn't like any of my other ones. He was always being sarcastic and funny even if he was in a near death situation. Not that I don't like my other sons, but he was really my favorite son. However, being an immortal father is hard and I just realized that." Poseidon told Sal sadly. He didn't realized that before. He never did realized that being a father is hard. Triton and Rhodes was always easy to take care because they were immortals. They were grow quickly and mature quickly as well.

However, when his son Percy Jackson arrived, he thought it would be like having any other demigod son. But he didn't expect it hurt so much when his beloved son...........ran away from his own home.

" Why are you telling me this?" Sal asked. He was confused of why Poseidon is opening up to him when they only met few times and those few times, they barely even talked to each other.

" Like I said before, you remind me of my son Salomao Hunter. Maybe I said that out of guilt." He replied smiling. However, Sal wasn't so amused at all. He looked angrily at the sea god and then got up.

   " I appreciate you telling me this milord." He said coldly and started walking into the woods.
   He then turned around and his yellow eye met with sea green eyes.
   "But I think you have someone else to tell this to. Not me but your actual son." He said. The god just looked shock for a while and then just sighed.

   " I guess that's why mother would be friends with you. You have a special power Salomao. Cherish it." Poseidon said before flashing away. A breeze of salt water could be smell from Salomao's spot.
   Sal looked at the spot where Poseidon left. He looked at it blankly before sighing and went off. He still needed to do other things too. He was after all a busy man like Poseidon.

Little did Sal knew, Poseidon was still watching from afar. His face had a faint smile. It wasn't only his son who changed but he also changed. Maybe for some, it was the best.
    " Let the game begin........" Poseidon muttered before truly flashing away.

   " Where were you?" Artemis demanded. She  was glaring at him but it wasn't a harsh glare at all.The masked hunter just looked at her and shrugged.
   " I had a lovely talk with Poseidon." He answered her question. Artemis stopped glaring and then looked confused.

  " Why would he want to talk with a servant?" She asked tilted her head. The masked hunter rolled his eye at the comment and then shrugged.
   Who knew why the Lord of Sea wanted to have a conversation with him? It was strange because he heard about his conditions after his son's disappearance and yet it seems he is not bothered by it.

" But serious though! Uncle Poseidon would never talk with a stranger unless he want something from that person. He became somewhat mysterious after his son's disappearance." Artemis said seriously and slightly worried. It is no good when the sea is so calm. After all who knew what's coming after that.

   However, the masked hunter didn't seemed worried at all. He looked at the sun and then just look at Artemis.

   " Look Artemis, I know the reason why you  wanted me to stay in the hunt as a servant and I stayed didn't I. I suffered through a few pranks and continue on being your servant. Well let's just say that I'm not going to be go and hide again just because your uncle feels like threatening me is the best thing to do."  He told Artemis truthfully. The moment he mentioned Leto in front of her, he knew the reason why.

   " I- I....." She didn't get to finished her sentence when Sal just suddenly turned his other mask on.

   " Don't apologize please. I hate people who apologizes and yet they don't show any genuine feeling. Sorry is just a word but actions can change things up." He said before going away. The masked hunter went away leaving the goddess of moon in shock.

    " How did he know............" Artemis muttered to herself before flashing away.
