THE SEA QUEEN'S PEARL
The moonlight looked silver on the sea. A beautiful silver shimmering breathing life force. It was hard to concentrate writing with something so beautiful to watch. After drying off from her play in the sea and remembering to eat, Sally had fallen asleep for the rest of the afternoon and woken up to the moonlight dancing on her skin. She couldn't resist throwing on her thick cardigan and sitting out on the cool sand just to stare at the most breathtaking sight she had seen. Smothering a yawn, she fell back on the cool sand and stared upwards at the sparkling stars. Her fingers began to play dot to dot as she formed to mythological pictures in her mind. As she murmured the stories behind each picture. "Orion, now that was a waste of a son. All he did was play around with young girl's hearts and get killed by my anti-men niece of mine. He was good with dogs though. Never found a more loyal dog than Sirius" Sally let out a squeal as she sat up and whipped her head around to see a tall man with dark hair and deep green eyes. He stood, towering over her in a rather intimidating way and yet she found it more thrilling than terrifying. There is something about this man. Something more to him that made her heart skip a beat. Now don't get her wrong, Sally Jackson had boyfriends in high school. Not many since she was more concentrated on her education and taking care of her uncle, but she had a couple. Boys found her pretty enough to take to the dance or a football game. But none of them had ever made her heart beat extra fast or make her palms sweat or her stomach explode in millions of fluttering butterflies. She may be a romantic but even she was sceptical of love at first sight clichés. But something about him definitely pulled her towards him. He grinned in a rather cheeky way as he knelt down beside her. "Did I scare you?" he asked rather amused. Her cheeks reddened. "No" she said gritting her teeth. "I'm just a little surprised" He chuckled. A deep booming laugh that came from his stomach. His head was thrown back and she couldn't help but admire his broad, strong yet shaking shoulders. Once he stopped laughing he looked directly into her eyes and she felt spellbound. Like she had no choice but to stare back. "What's your name?" he asked. "Why do you want to know?" "Just curious. You're an interesting woman, not many can see through the Mist and those that do usually don't help seahorses or other mythical creatures" "The what?" She was beginning to wonder if she had gone insane. That she had created the creature earlier that day and now she is creating this devastatingly handsome yet irritating man. "The Mist" he repeated looking very amused. "It's a magical fog that prevents humans from seeing mythological creatures. Like Satyrs or Centaurs or Minotaurs or even Furies. Unfortunately a side effect of the Mist makes some of the Half-Bloods' look like bad guys in human eyes. Every so often we get people who can see through it, like you. My nephew once dated a woman who can see through the Mist not too long ago. May I think her name was...or was it June...no it could have been April. I forgot, I don't pay attention to Hermes' love life" She blinked at him. Not only was he quite talkative all of the sudden but he had just basically told her that Greek Mythology is real. Well it certainly explained some of the people she met on the streets of New York. "You're Poseidon" she stated calmly. He looked...well the best word she could use was flabbergasted. "How...how did you know?" he asked searching her for something. A clue of what she was probably. "Well, Hermes is Zeus' son, so you're not Zeus since he wouldn't refer his son as nephew. All the other male Greek gods are Zeus' sons apart from Poseidon and Hades and well...i don't think Hades would be out on a beach in a Hawaiian shirt being friendly" He looked impressed. Very impressed. "You are one in a million, do you know that?" she blushed lightly and shook her head. He grinned. "Who are you?" he asked. He wanted her name. She knew his, so it was only fair he knew hers. "Sally" she said. "Sally Jackson" He took her hand and kissed her knuckles. A true old fashioned gentleman. A right old charmer. But then he was literally a God and been around for thousands of years, so he would know every trick in the book, wouldn't he? "It's a pleasure to meet you Sally Jackson" he said flirtatiously. "Pleasure's all mine" she said smiling slightly. It truly was. Not many people could claim they met the Sea God. "I have to go. Unfortunately the sea is very busy right now but I do hope I can visit you again. Will you be here for long, Sally?" "For the rest of the summer. I won't be going back till October the latest" she said. "It would be nice if you came back again. It gets a little lonely out here. Not many tourists but then the peace and quiet helps me" "I'll have to ask you why it helps when I visit you again" Poseidon said kissing Sally's hand one last time. "Goodbye Sally" She watched him walk towards the water with such confidence that she never seen a person possess. She was also secretly admiring his behind because come on she was a healthy American teenager. She does have hormones! Once she was sure he was gone she fell back on the sand and looked back up the stars. They seemed to have dimmed or maybe they were no longer sparkling because she had found something even more dazzling. "I've just met a Greek God" she told the sky. "Either I've lost my mind or I'm asleep. It's got to be one of the two...i just hope it's a dream so he could come back"
