Staff Batch - Poseidon by Night - FREE PROMPT ADOPT

Username: Tru

Kia's name: Poseidon, but goes by Marius among Mortals

Propmt: 


When visiting the mortal realms, beyond his capacity of god of the seas, ‘Marius’ likes to explore and experience things through fresh eyes. He enjoys getting to watch others enjoy his creations.  Today he is waiting among others to board a boat as the sun begins to set. The others were laughing and drinking, which made him smile. The dock faced out over the water and the sun danced over the water, the waves gently splashing at the walls and pillars.


Soon it was time for the group to hop aboard. The sun was sinking further behind the horizon behind them until soon the dark surrounded them. In the wake of the boat a faint blue glow began to show. Soon the boats pulled into a bay, anchoring and the other Solarians scrambled into the water. Marius took his time and tipped the captain well before driving off the edge. 


Once in the inky black water, magic happened. A blue glow moved and flowed all around them as they swam. It appeared as though the water had turned into the night sky, shimmering stars all twinkled about. Everyone gasped in amazement and wonder as Marius watched with sheer joy. 


After about 20 minutes of swimming in the star-lit lagoon, it was time to take their leave. The Solarians all clambered back into the boat and Poseidon turned and swam back out to the open ocean, a blue glowing trail being the only trace left as he eagerly planned his next visit to the shores and the creatures who love his sea as much as he does.

(If I'm too late no worries. Just hopefully just squeezing in)

Prompt:
It’s a stormy day, the sky grey and the curling waves hurling themselves against the rocks. The sea itself is dark, almost the color of ink. For most of the beach, there is not a sight to be seen… Except a small blue fleck on one of the rocks in the distance. You walk over, and upon arrival, you see a kia, his grey hair blowing flyaway in the gale. The crescendos of the waves somehow seem to avoid him, almost as if the sea is parting itself in his wake. In his paws, he his holding an object, a pole of dark wood, with a near invisible line going directly down into the sea, seemingly unaffected by the maelstrom around it.

Suddenly you see his posture change, and he stands, pulling on the line. You see the near-invisible string experience a sharp tug into the water. The kia in front of you narrows his eyes as he begins to yank and tug on the line. The rod begins to bow and creak under the pressure and yet it doesn’t snap. Instead, with one final motion, deliberate and practiced, the line leaves the water. Clamped on the end, jaw first, is an utterly terrifying looking creature. You freeze in fear. It is dark in color, with spines and teeth like an anglerfish, as well as thick stripes of near midnight black. In contrast, patches of light seem to emanate from gaps in its scales, and its eyes glow too, wild and yet still afraid. It soars in a great arc above the kias head, almost in slow motion, its gaze focussed on him, before crashing into the roiling waters below.

You see a real smile cross his face as he ever so gently drags the form of the creature in, paws directly on the fishing line itself. To your surprise, he carefully, with a gentleness you thought not possible and a neutral, thoughtful expression, unlatches the fishing hook from its cheek. It wriggles like some unholy abomination, before dipping back under the water, set free once more.

The kia turns to you and offers a half smile, as his rod enters the spray once more, his grasp coiled around it, as he sets himself back to wait, perhaps for another terrifying looking monster, though you struggle to imagine what could scare you more.

”It is not about the result. It is not to hold onto the catch, no…” He sighs, and shakes his head. “For whether the weather is perfect, or utterly abysmal, like today, the fishing is about the spectacle. Seeing what you may unearth that day, before sending them back into the spray for someone else to discover.” He states “And getting to watch it go back off into its deep and unknowable realm after, knowing you bested it.” He smirks.

”In fact, I find I love the terrible weather, you can catch true horrors of the deep if you get lucky enough.”

There were many things he could do when he came to the coast.

He could race the waves until foam curled around his paws, dive beneath the surface to chase silver fish through the kelp, or climb aboard a ship and let the wind carry him far beyond the horizon. But those were not the reason he came.

For all the beauty of the sea, being its guardian came with no shortage of obligations. There were tides to tend, storms to temper, currents to guide, and countless creatures whose lives depended upon the waters remaining in balance. Even a deity needed a moment to breathe. So, whenever he could, he left his duties behind.

Whenever the tides carried him near the coast, he would leave the roaring surf behind and follow the waterways inland, slipping through rivers and narrow channels until the salty scent of the sea began to fade, and the lingering taste of saltwater gradually disappeared. The journey was always long, but that was part of the pleasure. With every mile, there was less to worry about. No prayers calling his name. No sailors demanding fair winds. No storms waiting for his attention. Just water, and there was something comforting about traveling from one kind of water to another.

Eventually, the sunlight would disappear beneath the canopy of trees, and the familiar darkness of Coor’s domain would welcome him. The sea was his to wander, vast and beautiful and ever-changing. But Coor’s waters felt different. Older. Still. But somehow familiar.

“You’re late,” his cousin would inevitably murmur from the darkness of some ancient lake or cavern.

He would merely grin. “The sea was particularly stubborn today.”

Coor never seemed to mind his excuses.

Their visits were rarely grand. Sometimes they wandered through submerged caverns, exchanging stories of the creatures that lived in their respective waters. Sometimes they sat beside a quiet lake and watched the surface ripple overhead. And sometimes they did nothing at all.

Those were his favorite visits. Here, there was no need to be a god. He could complain about troublesome sailors, gossip about strange things he’d seen beneath the waves, or simply stretch out beside his cousin and enjoy the rare luxury of silence. Coor understood better than most what it meant to belong to the water, and perhaps more importantly, what it meant to need a little time away from it.

Eventually, of course, the sea would call him home.

But he never hurried back. For a little while longer, the tides could manage themselves.

And so, whenever he visited the coast, it wasn’t the promise of sailing, seafood, or adventure that drew him there.

It was the knowledge that somewhere beyond the shoreline, through winding rivers and ancient waters, his cousin was waiting.

And for a little while, he could simply be family.

Poseidon loves the beach, and basically anything to do with water. Her favorite beach day would consist of swimming among the reef to observe all the beautiful sea creatures. She even befriended an octopus who she rescued from a tangled net.

She does spend a fair bit of time gathering items that have been lost from fishermen and disposes of them properly to help protect the sealife.

She loves the ocean more than life itself, so any coastal day would be spent in the water.

She also loves to collect seashells and offers them to hermit crabs who need a shell change, she also helps turtle hatchlings make it to the water and advocates for sealife and ocean ecosystems.

She loves sketching the fish and sea animals she sees in her sketchbook, dotting down anything she observes as well such as their favorite food, personality and if they prefer reef, open waters or rock pools.
