Chapter 3: 3 – I can use him/her!

The new Poseidon was happy with what he could do, 'I can really manipulate water and make it take any shape.'

He started by making a ball, a shield, a sword, etc.

Then he remembered an anime move and tried to recreate it. He did everything right but forgot the name, so he yelled, '' DRAGON PUNCH.''

And the punch came out just as he imagined, with the dragons going in front of him and then returning to him. ''That was too cool!''

Poseidon decided to continue exploring Olympus with a clear mind since he had the tracker to his home. He was about to go further when he heard a 'cough' from behind.

'CRAP!'

Poseidon, who had not noticed anyone's presence before, turned toward the voice. What he saw could only be described as, "Perfection.''

What he didn't notice was that he said it out loud, and the face of the woman who heard it closed up.

' OH SHIT.'

Poseidon was going to try to make an excuse for his carelessness, but nothing came to mind. In desperation, Poseidon said, '' Who would you be, beautiful young lady?''

'...' The woman, oddly enough, stopped walking towards Poseidon and made a surprised face.

'It's working! Not quite what I had in mind to explain my lack of memory, but it will have to do.'

Poseidon, seeing that his ruse was working, continued, '' Young Lady, I woke up two days ago in a lake, but I don't remember anything, neither my name nor where I am. Can you help me?''

Athena, still keeping her guard, because she knew how treacherous Poseidon was, began to approach him, '' Do you really have no memory of anything?''

Poseidon shook his head, '' None. The only thing I've figured out so far is that I can do this.'' He then showed off his water manipulation skills.

After playing with the water, Poseidon looked at the woman expecting a compliment, but her face looked strange.

'I wonder if my story is working...?'

Poseidon was no longer so confident in his amnesia story, but Athena suddenly approached him and asked for his hand, '' Unc-, sir, may I have your hand?''

Even though he didn't understand the situation, Poseidon gave Athena his hand. And just this small gesture made Athena even more shocked.

'By the Gods! The Poseidon I know would never trust me enough to let me touch him.'

Athena decided to test her uncle's memory loss, 'If he does this, he may really have lost his memory.'

''Sir, could you repeat this sentence with me: I, God of the Sea, will transfer 5% of my power over horses to Athena.''

Poseidon, who had no idea what was going on, repeated, "I, God of the Sea, will transfer 5% of my power over the horses to Athena.''

To Poseidon's surprise, he felt something inside his body slip out of his hand and into Athena's body. Although he was surprised he didn't care much and remained calm.

Athena's reaction was completely different. (Think of Enel's face in One Piece)

'' This is impossible!'' The Poseidon that Athena knew would never give his powers to others, and especially not her. 'He really has lost his memories!!!'

Poseidon coughed a little, '' Young Lady, do you want to keep holding my hand?''

As Poseidon spoke, only then did Athena remember that she was holding hands with one of her worst enemies.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I was surprised to discover that you, uncle, have lost your memories.'' Athena was already thinking of how to use Poseidon's lack of memory to her advantage.

''So I am your uncle...?'' Although he already knew this, Poseidon still tried to act surprised.

''Yes, but let's not talk here, follow me to my house.'' Athena began to lead Poseidon to his quarters.

She looked around and made sure no one was watching them, ' Olympus would probably explode if they knew I brought Poseidon to my house. Let's try to keep this a secret.'

After a few minutes, Athena and Poseidon managed to get to her house without being seen. Then they both sat down at a table, and Athena poured wine.

'One last test...' Athena asked Poseidon, ''Would you like your powers back?''

'So that feeling was her taking my powers...' This Poseidon didn't care much for this kind of thing, '' Niece, I don't care about it. You can keep it.''

Athena nodded, 'He really doesn't have any memories.'

'''Since you have no memory of anything, what would you like to know?'' Seeing this as a huge opportunity in front of her, Athena decided to act.

'''Everything!''' Poseidon said while drinking.

'If I want to make Poseidon my ally, I have to hide some things from him, like our rivalry and stuff like that. I can also put him on guard against Zeus...', Athena began to talk and explain the whole life of Poseidon. His birth, his life, what he did, etc.

Poseidon listened attentively and, after hearing the shit the Gods did to mortals, cursed, 'The Greek gods really are fucked up.'

Then Athena hesitated some more before talking about the next topic, 'Should I do it!? It's too risky... but it's necessary for my protection!'

After the Gods' fiasco with the Kratos situation, Athena started to prepare in case they turned on her, and a memoryless Poseidon was the next best thing. Taking a decision and a big breath, Athena continued, '' Although we are uncle and niece, we were ... something more!''

Poseidon was calmly drinking wine, and when he heard this, he spat it all out on the floor. ''Cough cough cough!''

After he stopped coughing, Poseidon returned to a neutral face, '' Can you repeat that?''

'She is lying, but why?' Poseidon knew that he and Athena would never be a couple, 'maybe she wants to use me?'

''It's like I said, uncle. To everyone else, we are mortal enemies, but privately, we are an inseparable couple.''

'...'

'' I really don't remember anything about us, sorry.''

'''Don't worry, Unc-, my love! We'll try to get your memories back little by little!'' Athena said this but secretly hoped he would never get his memories back.

'' ... Okay, but what do I do now? I just found out that I'm a Sea God, I'm dating my niece, and I don't have a good relationship with any other God besides you...''

Poseidon knew that at least 60% of what Athena said was a lie, but she was currently his best chance of survival, 'If I follow her lead, she might be my best chance to make it out alive, since Kratos respects her.'

Athena thought of a solution, 'Maybe Poseidon should come live with me? But a Poseidon who does not know how to use his powers is useless, I should train him...'

'' Poseidon, do you know how to use your powers?''

Poseidon tilted his head, '' The most I can do is what you saw earlier.''

'...'

Athena sighed, '' Uncle, what do you think about us living together for a while?''
