THE SEA QUEEN'S PEARL
The loneliness was half killing her and was half peaceful. She never liked being lonely. Her whole childhood was lonely, a few friends here and there, a cold uncle and death surrounding her. And yet the people frustrated her at times. It was like no one understood who she was or how she felt. So the loneliness she felt was blessing and a cure all in one. The beach was empty but that was expected for a small and shabby place. The cabins on the beach were cheap, small little pastel coloured wooden huts. Inside though the cabin was cosy, small little kitchen unit, a couple armchairs, a double bed and a bathroom thank god. She looked over at the pale yellow sand towards the blue-green sparkling sea. She was always fascinated with the sea. She loved how it changed colour from a bright dazzling blue to a deep soulful green to stormy angry grey. Actually when she thinks about it she loves water in general. When she was younger the school had taken her swimming and she refused to get out of the pool. First detention she ever had. Her uncle had not been pleased. But overall Montauk was a beautiful place and she was really lucky to find it. She had hoped this breathing space, this grieving time, would help her collect her thoughts. Help her write. She managed a little but everything looked wrong and messed up and made her close to tearing her own hair out. She's been having bad dreams too. Mostly about her parents and how they died. She never witnessed it or anything but she always had a vivid imagination and the images she conjured will always haunt her. She sighed heavily and chucked her notebook behind her shoulder before collapsing onto the sand and closing her eyes. For some reason she felt like she was waiting for something. PJPJPJPJPJPJPJPJPJPJPJPJ He had always been waiting for her. Amphitrite. He had taken up mistresses from time to time but only ones that reminded him of her. It was usually a personality trait though it had helped if they were dark haired and green eyed. Zeus used to joke that he was creating a clone army to take over the world. That joke died very quickly after World War Two and they made their everlasting vow to never have another child. But it never stopped him waiting for her. He knew she would return one day. She had to. Not because she promised but because Hades had informed him that her soul had finally been pushed through for reincarnation. So she had to be out there somewhere. His son Triton had given up waiting for his mother to come. He had sometimes met his mistresses in a friendly matter but had informed him that they were not his mother and never will be. Despite no longer believing she would return, Triton had kept this promise and had protected his siblings over the centuries. Even the Cyclopes'. Everyone moved on but him. The palace just felt lonely no matter how beautiful and magnificent it was. Olympus made him even lonelier as he was constantly reminded that he had no wife. Zeus, when he was in his most vicious mood, had made a show of kissing Hera in front of him. "Master Poseidon! Master Poseidon! Oh Master Poseidon, it's just horrible!" Poseidon turned to face the seahorse that had interrupted his thoughts. He mentally groaned when he saw who it was. "What is it now Shelley?" Shelley was his most annoying, bossy seahorse who had taken it onto herself to remind him to eat once in a while. "It's Sebastian! He got tangled up in some dirty human's net and is now stuck on a beach! You have to help him!" "Which one" he said standing up immediately. If a human had seen the seahorse it should be fine, after all the Mist would make it look like a blow-up bed or something. However humans have been known to be stupid enough to ride seahorses or harm them. "Montauk, sir" Shelley squeaked. He mounted Shelley and patted her head. "Take me there" "You poor thing" she murmured as she petted the strange creature. She knew her mythology well enough to know it must be a seahorse but she wasn't quite sure if he was a figment of her imagination or the real deal. "Do you need help getting back into the water?" It whined a little and then nuzzled her hand. She had a feeling that meant yes and petted him a little longer before starting to pick him up. "Ooh you're a little heavy" she groaned as she began to drag him towards the sea. It glared at her as if to say he wasn't fat. She would have laughed if she hadn't thought she was near to losing her mind. A large wave, bigger than her, suddenly pushed her onto the ground before dragging her into the water. The current wasn't strong and she was lying soaked in ankle height salty water. She couldn't help giggle a little, it was so unexpected and yet refreshing. She felt like she needed that wave more than anything else. She sat up slowly and pushed her wet hair back from her face and smiled warmly as she felt trickles of water sliding down her cheek. This was where she belonged. The ocean. The water. It was calling for her and telling her 'welcome home'. She looked out to the sea and for a moment, just a split second; she thought she saw a man riding another seahorse while scolding the one she had helped. And then he vanished. PJPJPJPJPJPJPJPJPJPJPJPJ After yelling at Sebastian was being stupid enough to get caught in a net and then have a human lugging him around, Poseidon sank down on his throne and gave his deadly glare to the seahorse. "What do you have to say for yourself?" he asked coldly. Sebastian cringed. "I'm sorry Master...i didn't mean to get all tangled up...but that lady was really nice and didn't deserve being splashed like that" Poseidon's glare grew deadlier and Sebastian swam backwards. "Sh-sh-she could see through the Mist! And she didn't scream or anything! Instead she just helped me out of the net, petted me and was helping me back into the water when you came! I swear Master!" "She can see through the Mist?" "Y-y-yes" "Hmmm...This needs a little investigating. You're on stable duty for the rest of the year; I don't want to see you in trouble again, got that?" "Yes Master" "You are dismissed" The seahorse swam away quickly and Poseidon smiled to himself. "It's been awhile since I had a conversation with a human. Especially a very generous one" he stood up and made his way out of his throne room, passing by a mermaid he said, "tell my son I'm busy with something" "Yes, sir" she said before he left the palace. It took no time at all to be back at Montauk. He kept to neck-height water as he watched the woman from before paddle in the sea. Her clothes were still damp from the wave he had sent and her dark hair was plastered to her face but other than that she was happy and unharmed. She turned slightly and looked out; not exactly looking at him it was more a dazed unfocused look as if she was daydreaming. But it was her eyes. Those eyes of wisdom that only a reincarnated soul would have. The eyes of sea green with such...imperialism that only a queen would have. She appeared a normal person but there was something about the way she held herself that made him think of a queen. And then it just knew it. He knew her. "Amphitrite"
