Chapter 1
For some reason I love the beautiful feeling of the cool air in my hair. Across the vast beautiful sea. I loved this time of the year.
Once every year we spend a week on the ocean and enjoy its peaceful and beauty. The treasure that lie at the depth of the oceans can only be imagined. And the amount of plastic that lies in its belly can only be estimated. I wonder what Neptune might think of what we have done to his beautiful home.
"Alexandria! come lets go" Sekhani yelled,
"I'm coming" I checked my watch, it was almost midnight, the cloud was completely dark and the ocean a beautiful ultra marine.
I wished I could swim in its beautiful waters and not get eaten by a shark or something.
"Hey uncle Matthew"
it was a family occasion dads only brother Matthew also came along with his family. And we heard all kinds of stories from them.
"Please can we start?" Sekhani whined,
"alright bundle of joy"
"alright so tonight I'm going to tell the tale of the lost city of Atlantis..."
"whats that?" our attention shifted as it seemed like something hit the ship,
Dad and uncle Matthew ran to the deck to see what's wrong and there was absolutely nothing and as soon as we turned our backs, it hit us again, and then dolphins jumped out of the water, making the deck wet with huge splash as they went back in, they were the once hit us,
"shoot em down" Uncle Matthew said,
"dad went in and brought out his shot gun and aimed carefully and shot one in the mid section, and the perfect ultramarine became stained with a red blood, but it didn't stop and then dad shot it for the second time and it started floating, the second left.
Uncle Matthew cast a net and dragged the huge fish to deck, the color of its tail was amazing, it had beautiful colors, as its light grey faded into a sea green and then a nice looking purple at the tip of it. With something imprinted on it, in an unfamiliar language.
The relentlessness of the fish almost seemed like it was protecting something.
"lets turn back now" Dad said,
"we can't go back and spoil the whole idea of the vacation"
"if we don't leave we die. you know what locals say about the forbiden region we are far from home, strange force and animals protecting somethig"
"come on,you really want to believe what they say? Just relax"
It took them quite some time to realize my presence.
"Sweetie let's go back inside and finish the story"
"No I think I want to stay out here a little longer" I replied
"Okay"
I continued gazing at the depths of the water as I saw my reflection. Its almost thirty minutes of gazing at my beautiful. And then I was startled when I thought I saw something in the water and it wasn't me.
"Dad!" I screened,
And in the twinkle of an eye everyone came to meet me,
"There is something in the water" I said,
"Its completely impossible" dad said as he stared in the water shallowly,
"There is...its a man!" Uncle Matthew yelled,
"Get the hooks!"he added,
Dad and my cousin Sean got them an Sean took off his shirt and jumped bare skinned into the water, he gasped and buried his head in the water, put some chains around it and attached the hook and they started to pull it out carefully but steadily.
"Its frozen completely!" Sean said, as I handed him a towel,
"Its obviously a man" I said,
"From his dress in hew didn't get frozen in this century" Dad stated,
"This is amazing discovery,we can earn billions" uncle Matthew said,
"Tomorrow morning we turn the glad and head back home" dad said.

His stance and form through the ice was amazing, he was about 6ft tall, but his other forms weren't clear through the thick block of ice that preserved his body, it would take a miracle for the ice to break. I can't wait to see what the prehistoric man looks like.
I had a lot of thoughts that kept me from sleeping. I would be the new talk of the class and school and country and world!
I really pray he likes me, we can be friends and he'll be of help in history too...its in his name prehistoric.
My head was in the clouds and I didn't want them coming down any soon...I slept with my thoughts linger in in my subconscious.
And the sound of something like a crackle of thunder, and we rushed out of our different rooms, the deck was foggy and it seemed the ice was broken. There was figure of a man in the fog on his kneel kind of like a superman landing stance. His size was stunning.
Prehistoric?
"Who's there?" I asked,
"Shh..." Everyone said to me,
"I am Triton"

I'd be updating Can I Runaway anytime soon...was too busy gathering ideas here to think of it. But the next chapter would be long...and we are getting closer to the end though...
I want to know how it feels to write too books simultaneously ...and also I couldn't wait to out this out there...
I'm not using the traditional ideology of the Greek gods...but I'll try not to stray too far away from their reality just to keep the book good for the realists...
HOPE YOU ENJOY SON OF POSEIDON...:)
