[watermark]Chapter one: About me and that day
Hello guys, before I start anything, let me just briefly talk about myself..
I am Poseidon, God of Sea and Water... A lot of people are afraid of me because they have been misled by some of the tales which contented all kinds of false information (B.S) about me and my character. It is true that most of my kids are ugly and ruthless, they destroy things, kidnap pretty girls from land and so on.. But come on, I do have some normal kids, like Crysoer Krishna for instance, he isn';t that freaky is he?
By the way, I rarely get mad. The only time I get mad is when my alarm clock dosen';t work--- that little water pitcher my niece Athena gave me for my birthday. Well, in other words, just say I get mad when I oversleep.. Usually, I will pick on whoever is traveling on the ocean by sinking them down(lots of storms ha ha)... But again, it rarely happens. I normally take naps, then wake up, have a nice bath, bust a grub and go fishing, that';s off the hook man!
Let';s talk a little bit about how I became king of the ocean... Well, I got 2 bros, Zeus and Hades... When we were young, we had a mean dad, Cronus. He was probably a child molester. I was lucky to actually grow up physically intact; I am not sure about Zeus and Hades. They both had worse child memories than I did... So, they tried to kill my old man, for which I actually helped.. As result of it, my dad was out, so 3 of us had to divide the world all over again... We tried all those casino stuffs like throwing dices, spinning wheels or flipping 3 side coins and all that.. Finally, Zeus got the Heaven, for which he was like a million dollar. I basically didn';t care much about what';s up there, because there is nothing to rule in Heaven... He probably became a psychopath after being molested in this childhood, so he preferred somewhere quiet and isolated... Anyway, he got what he wanted... I of course got what I wanted ------ water. It is nice and cool down there. Especially there are plenty of lives-------- things to rule, you know... And last but not least, Hades got the worst luck so he basically was stuck in the underworld with all the deads and ghosts...
So... here I am, dwelling in my lovely nest underneath the deep blue and green ocean. Life seems to be content and nothing to write home about, things are slow and peaceful. However, there is one day I will not forget, the first time I was actually waken by my clock!! ---------- of course, thanked to a stranger...
Now let me tell you what happened that day.
Not knowing how long it';s been like this, it seems I have spent eternity with all my wives in la-la land. Maybe I am still hallucinating because of that one gallon of Gin mixed with some meth from last night; this is just part of my life, after all, polygamy is a common practice among major Gods and drinking game is always required, socially or privately, as a form of communication, especially when they are giving me a lot of problems, magic water become particularly efective to drawn my sorrows, which as result, always get me loaded after a few shots..
Anyway, there is that sound, so familiar but far away, pulls me back to the reality. The place where sound is coming from becomes closer and closer, I see a shadow, actually a figure with long hair, but because the light is too bright that I can';t see what is on the face of this dark shadow.. Isn';t that scary?
As light goes dimmer and finally dies, I open my eyes... Despite the remaining tiredness and hangover from last night, I try to figure out what was the sound about.. And quickly I realize it actually was my alarm clock, with which the seal has been removed -------- it means there is a intruder and I have been waken!
Come to think about it, this isn';t necessarily a bad thing sometimes... At least I didn';t oversleep! Especially when loaded from last night, I was expecting another killer wave striking the land later as result of me taking out wrath on innocence because of my sleeping disorder... So this time I am not going crazy, and the intruder indeed is the luckiest man on earth...
Let me take a good look at this guy. Coming from the shadow, we have something cat brought in!!! Gosh, this man is clumsy, messy and stinking like a dead fish!! His blue hair has some fixed colors of green and black, I can see he probably was playing hide and seek with octopus and got his hair tangled with seaweed. Wearing an old-fashioned shirt with million holes on it, this man looks tired and desperate as if he just got busted out of the jail and became a wanted man all over the world..
"Ke ke" I clear my voice before start, "Hey sir, did you just wake me up?"
Immediately after my response, his pupils expand so I merely see myself in them. In this few seconds, his state of mind has completed a full cycle of emotion shift, from hopeless attempts of searching the exit in the dark to the final relief after seeing the light at the end of the tunnel... Until then, I finally believed that God';s words are just that powerful, it brings hope to hopeless, he he..
"Yes, your highness," the wanted man says,” My lord, I am seeking employment, please consider me.."
What? He is asking for a job? Interesting, so I say:” What are you talking about? I just woke up , dude!"
Please allow me..." wanted man continues, "There is a huge opportunity coming ahead for both of us..."
"ohh??" he sounds pretty interesting..
"you know... I can see that there is going to be a war between Athena and Hades, the reason is..."
I wouldn';t be surprised to hear that... My poor brother';s been living underground for so many years.. By all means, he';s been sick and tired of all the deads and especially long for fresh air above the ground.. After all, living around filthy air and having unhealthy underworld diet can cause lung decay and various heart diseases, more importantly; there isn’t a place to relax and spend good time in , which means he is going to rot... For this, I truly understand my brother...
"So... Is he trying to take over Athena and relocate himself to sanctuary?" I ask, just want to know if he is going to start a war really soon or not..
"Well, I believe that';s what he really want to do, your highness, there is always an excuse behind every war,” wanted man become more confident, "This is what happened... 243 years ago, Hades and his 108 specters took a trip to Sanctuary for vacation, but they were over-charged everywhere they went. Underworld credit card wasn';t even accepted in Athena';s place; Hades’ access to bank was denied for some reasons, Athena sent Libra Saint to block out the whole area where the bank was located so Hades had to go home and prepare for a war of vengeance. "
"Hmm.... 243 years ago... So the whole thing happened last night after I hit the sack..." I was doing my best trying to remember something, which didn';t go that well, "Ok, whatever, but how did you know all this?"
"My twin brother Saga works for Athena, he told me all this for which I double-checked with Rhathumanthus.."
"Ok.. but what do I have to do with their crap?" I am little confused.
"My lord, if there is a war between these two, it';s not going to do any good. Therefore, Lord Zeus wanted to reconciliations between the two.. However, he knows he had recent grudge with his daughter; on the other hand, he never got alone with Hades. Especially, Hades still takes it personal after he found out that Zeus was cheating to win the blackjack, which later on put him six feet under, at the same time Zeus were able to sit up there and enjoy all the fresh air in Heaven.. So of course by no means Zeus would show up and work things out with these two, he is relying on you my lord, and he is willing to provide commissions for our service."
"Hmmm, sounds like a plan, I need some money too." starting to catch up with some of the old memories of all these selfish lowlifes, "but... if Zeus is asking me a favor, why do I need your help? And what do you get out of this?"
"Simple, my lord." the wanted man';s eye glitter with joy and hope,” I have more than one contact in both sides: Saga is my twin brother who now is the district manager in sanctuary; Rhathumanthus is my buddy from the underworld, we always compete in arm-wrestling in which he never beat me even once. With all their helps, we can easily get the job done... After this, Zeus will assign me to be his direct coordinates on Earth so that I can pass laws on earth that will also benefit you. For instance, you don';t have to worry about sailors not paying their sailing taxes to you; horses won';t be stolen anymore and ........... "
Wow, pretty impressive young man... I start liking this guy now.
"Ok, what';s your name by the way?" this is something I always ask at the end of "interview", my style.. HEHEHE.
"Me? ohh, Sea Dragon, abbreviate S.D, my lord... " S.D continues,” By the way my lord, due to my brother';s wrong directions to your palace, I was trapped in a dungeon was a few days. But I found something there which I think it belongs to you, a trident!"
Woops! Probably, according to my guess, the dungeon where he was trapped is my favorite place for fishing; I wouldn';t be surprised if I left my trident there. I don';t remember how many times I have forgotten my tool there, but certainly, just like that American Pop Queen was singing:"Woops I did it again.." I really did it again.. Anyway, I have to thank him this time...
"So, my lord.. Shall we?" He asks, with a few body gestures indicating he couldn';t wait any longer for this whole project to be undertaken..
"Ohh, well..... Actually you know what, it';s just that there are still a few things I need to take care of right now, so why don';t you go ahead and get started first, and come check with me after a few days and I am going to invite both of them here for a resolution party." I could just go with him right now, but I still decide to put him off just for now.. Because I just realized that I have nothing on, and definitely going commando isn';t my style..
"Ok my lord, wait for my good news." he takes off like wind with his voice amplitude dropping down to the lowest steady level and finally died...
So that day, I have to readjust myself and prepare for a party... First, let me take a short nap again so I can be at a better shape later. By the way, I have selected a three-year old boy from a rich family in Greece to be my new appearance later on... He seems to be a pretty good choice for me, good-looking, noble and knows what a party is like according to this millionaire family background... By the time I wake up again, he should be a teenager and a perfect incarnation for me, and then the party will begin...
Adios for now....[/watermark]

"SD, is everything really?" another beautiful day, wearing a brand new cloth, with this magnificent trident in hand, Julian Solo is ready to work, thanks to me, otherwise this poor kid would have lived a meaningless life in his little world...
"Yes my lord, let me give you a brief report on what I have prepared." SD also dress pretty neat this time, at least doesn';t look like a member of the Mansion family like he did last time,” I have hired a few more guys to run the party. Sorrento is a world class musician, specializes in flute, he will be provide background music for the party; Baian and Krishna will be serving as securities; Io provides good foods, and believe me, he';s got all kinds of exotic stuffs ready to serve; Isaac will be working as an air-condition technician and maintaining the room temperature at an idea level; the main even of the night will be a magic show, which will be performed by Lymnades, if the party goes well though; and I will be watching everything from the ceiling and provide extra help if needed..."
"Ok good... Tythis have you heard anything from Athena and Hades yet?" Mermaid Tythis is a gorgeous lady who we recently hired, she sent invitations to both sides as part of the plan...
"My lord, due to unforeseen circumstances, Hades and his underworld crews can';t make it this time..." she stopped for a second and continue” According to my intelligence, Hades was sick due to food poisoning, he now is suffering from severe diarrhea. Because of that, all 108 specters have to stay in underworld."
"Ohh, sorry to hear that" that further proves my theory about his underworld misery, poor dude, can';t you just stop eating all the junk food?
"What about his assistants, Hyponus and Thanadus? Can they make it?"
"According to reliable source from Pandora, Thanadus and Hyponus had a fight last night regarding the house rent. A tragic moment occurred when they stroke each other with full power, which put Thanadus in a good-night sleep like a dead pig. Hyponus is still hanging in alive in theory, but lights are on and nobody home. I heard that to restore his soul, he would have to wait for....... god knows how long.. But yet, it';s at least better than a kick to the balls for him... Due to all the above facts, both gentlemen are not available for the time being..."
"en... They deserve my sympathy, but life goes on, so does the party... We will have to do without them this time..." I sense that SD is a little disappointed, but he quickly get over with it and smiles..
"Despite the bad news from the underworld, there is good news." Tythis says..
"Oh? What';s that?" you know, when I hear this similar line of statement, it quickly reminds me of that famous commercial of auto insurance, and the second line was "I just saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching it to GEIGO!"
But in Tythis';s version of strip, it becomes: “Athena will be at the party on time!"
It';s been a while since the last meeting with my niece, I wonder how she has been doing, gaining any weights?? In spite of coming to this world from Zeus'; head, Athena didn';t inherit his brain of Tyrannosaurus. Indeed, she is very smart, especially good at diplomacy. Definitely, having Lymnadez, the mind-reader on the side will give me an edge when dealing with the God of Wisdom..
Athena looks fine... I can take a long breathe this time upon her appearance without the 12 worst-ever gang-bangers accompanied along... At least we can have a private discussion on any matters..
Realizing Sorrento’s music has been on, I start:"Welcome to the palace, my niece, please have a seat.."
As Baian and Krishna walk her to the dinning Hall, I continue:” Please, feel like home, my niece. I know you came from a long way; I have specially prepared wonderful lunch, please... Io, we are ready!"
"Yes, your majesty. "Io comes along with his special-edition Manuel, “To my lord and lord Athena, our today';s specials are: Anaconda soup and paper wrapped bat wings for appetizers; then Kung Pao Eagle, Sweat and Sour bear palms, Garlic Coyotes. Finally, honey cakes for deserts. Thank you for visiting our place, please extend my regard to everybody in sanctuary."
"Wow, sounds pretty authentic." Athena finally speaks up,” Yes, uncle what can I do for you?"
She is supposed to know why I invited her over; I can see that she already starts her little mind-game. This is when Lymnadez becomes handy..
"Ohh you know, because we are making so much food today, so we don';t want to miss you, right?" I speaks with confidence, because very bit of information of her mental activities has been transmitted to my brain just on time thanks to Lymnadez';d ability of telepathy , so I know what to speak without letting the cat out of the bag at first place.
"Ohh thank you Uncle, you are so kind, but I thought there is more than that."
See! This is what I meant by her trickiness, she is testing my intention now. After the last bit of information has been successfully sent in, I precede, "Sure, of course. I always care about your health, maybe not just you, but everyone I related with. You know, I so glad that you have joined me this time." according to the last signal vibrates in my brain, I got the idea of playing it close to my chest but sticking to the important topics, "Before we eat, let me show my concerns to those who are suffering from food poisoning in that world, if you don';t mind."
"My dear uncle, having known you for so many years, you never talk like that, what happened to you today?" Athena looks at me, at the same time I can sense sarcasms from her already..
"I was just reading some interesting articles about the living conditions in the underworld. You know, according to that article, underworld is the most polluted world, a cess-pool of bacteria containing various types of diseases... Needless to say, air inhalation, body contacts, bathing, internet surfing and many common daily practices can cause lung decay, birth defiance, skin cancer, diarrhea, constipations, tuberculosis and so on... Worst of all, ingesting food under such environment will be a nightmare, and..."
I have to stop here, because the last update on her mental reaction, which simultaneously reflects to my brain indicates that she doesn';t understand all these medical terminologies.. So why wasting my time anymore...
"Anyway, this article remains me of my second brother, Hades. I wonder how he is doing now." I think I just brought up about him naturally, without causing any suspiciousness on my true intention..
"Ohh, that dude?" Athena is again pretending, "I don';t know.. But let';s not talking about him all right?"
Nice move, but I know how to counter. "Yea, I understand. But, don';t you think we should invite him over too? I am sure he';s been suffering from all the junk food there, and maybe you can also invite him to the sanctuary sometimes, I am sure he will appreciate it!"
So far, there hasn';t been a sign of any doubts and suspicions of her regarding my intentions of bringing up the topic about Hades whatsoever. At least not from what I am receiving to my brain.. The plan goes well, and sooner or later, I will find out how Hades is as an uncle according to his and of course my niece, this is critical in order to find out where the past grudge really came from between these two, and I am getting there in a few seconds..
Athena stutters, seems lost. At this moment, I have no idea whatsoever about her thoughts, not even the signs and telepathic communications with Lymnades can help sort through this whole mess in her mind.. She still seems to have some compassion, yet being reluctant to express her true insight. I begin to wonder what happened during Hades'; last trip on earth, at least something awkward enough to be mentioned...
"Well, uncle, I am sorry to tell you that Hades can';t be invited again due to the facts that..." said Athena, after a few minutes of deliberation, "During their visits, a few sorry things happened.."
She comes up with a notebook, while flipping a few pages, her mind becomes clear, not a mess anymore.. "The practice of Rhathemanthus, Minos and Aircus';s anti-environmentalism caused a unwanted delay of Sanctuary’s eco-project, specially the damage caused in Virgo temple resulted in only two remaining trees with miles of wasted land; another evidence of our environment being damaged is the decay of Pisces'; Rose garden due to overwhelming butterflies attacks... Besides all the inhumane practices, Zeros stuffed the entire Aquarius temple with preserved frozen frog legs; the appearance of warms, poison gas and other underworld products in sanctuary also lowered the efficiency of our farm operations, for this, I had to compensate Mu, Aldebaran and Shura for their loses from MY OWN POCKET!! After consulting with some legal experts, it was clear that Hades had full responsibilities for their violations and vandalisms to Athenian regulations in Sanctuary and was obligated to make up for all the loses of wild lives and other things.. As result of that, Hades was forced back to the shadow until the price is paid... I hope you understand, my uncle.."
ohh.... No wonder why, his bank account has been hacked, and credit cards have been compromised and of course, he were preparing to strike back if his body was still healthy... In this rather complicated situation, I must stay neutral yet be constructive in order to get the job done, hmmm, this is not an easy task...
I ask Isaac to readjust the room temperature---- it is a little too hot. Also, Sorrento is playing a different song now according to my will... I do all these so that some more time is bought for me to come up with a resolution for the issue---- This is a complicated situation, not according to me(I don';t know anything), but according to Lymnades and SD..
My communication with backups has been cut upon the appearance of a stranger; different from my last experience with SD or the jail buster at that time, this stranger is a short oriental. Looking pretty blown up, his clothing indicates his identities as one of my niece';s employee in Sanctuary, probably not a high-ranking officer because his cloth is made of Bronx.
Breathing heavily, the shortie runs up to Athena and begins, even before I could say anything, "Dear my lord!! Our recent environmental report has shown that a new kind of deadly viper is being discovered in sanctuary area. Causing a few deaths and several wounded, the antidote of this new deadly snake venom is in high demand now.... Being one of its'; recent victims, Marin is looking like death warmed up now, and her days will be numbered if proper medical treatment can not be conducted... I am sure she is not alone now..." the shortie is speaking really fast, which gives me no chance to interrupt for asking him to pay me some respect in my House, he goes on:" I, hereby, ask for financial aides for our medical care programs, which will save the lives of many.. I personally is begging you my lord, for additional funds for seeking proper cares for my dear teacher Marin, who is dying in bed."
"Really? hmmm.... That';s unheard of... But anyway, ask Aiolos.. He has all the money you need." Athena';s answer is short and simple, it looks like she doesn';t want waste anytime with his shortie.. Is it because he is too short to be attractive to her? Who knows?
Even before I react to this incident, the shortie has already disappeared leaving everybody present with a haunting news of possible snake attack to the Earth, and perhaps even more people are probably stunned by his hasty appearance with this breaking news rather than scared..
Anyway, to make sure he doesn’t come back, not before today’s party is over, Baian is commanded to walk him out…
Soon, I find out that the shortie is not the only stranger to the party, because right after this departure, another stranger has come...
This man is blonde haired and blue eyed Caucasian. Wearing a helmet that takes shape of a white duck flapping wings, this man';s funny outfit doesn';t amuse Athena, his ultimate boss ---- This duck man should be at the same ranking with that shortie earlier according to the same clothing on him..
"Lord Athena, This is Hyoga", better than last time, at least I just learned his name, anyway, he goes on, "I am sorry to interrupt but this is an emergency, my lord."
"Go on, I am ok with that!" I finally got a chance to show my presence to these strangers, I feel like getting it off my chest, "I am Poseidon, this is my party by the way."
"Nice meeting you Mr. Poseidon," the duckman quickly turns back to Athena and continue, leaving me stunned again with my new name "Mr. Poseidon"!
"Our ice-scream shop is in jeopardy due to lack of business. My boss Camus has sent me over to request additional funds needed to get our facilities upgraded: We need optical laser dishwashing machine; Ultra-sonic security alarm; dynamic ice twister and two computers with cable internet connections.. Thank you!!"
Hmmm... This duckman knows a lot about science apparently, this time I am not the only one speechless in response to his request, I notice the room temperature has rapidly changed or better fluctuated (if you plot a graph) during those few seconds of speech ---- this means Isaac was undergoing some unique but strong emotional struggles, like jealousy occurred ; Lymnades had no idea about the words coming out of that duckman';s mouth, therefore he even stopped communicating with me and started shaking his head. I am sure Sorrento and SD also feel the same way---- this duckman is a bizarre scientist, but at least he is much more polite than the previous shortie, which ignored my presence completely..
"Sure, you may have the money... Ask Saga, I gave him lots of money last week for his pope campaign, I believe he was over-paid... He should have the money which belongs to you, “Athena’s still calm, "Here, take this with you and show it to Saga.. This is a writing consent of what I just told you, he should have no questions."
"Thank you my lord, Thank you so much!" out of joy, the over-excited duckman starts to dance his way out, Gosh, I am never seen this kind of dance before, like Bales but not quiet..
"Wait!! Hyoga!!" ohh this is Isaac, being so frustrated, "My lord, please allow me to accompany along him, there is a few things we need to talk about!"
"Ok, you may, please take him back.." I am ok with that. After all, during those few seconds of temperature fluctuation, I believe my physical health had been really challenged. Athena probably felt uncomfortable too, except that she just didn';t want to express it, but I still know.. Maybe we';d be better off doing without Isaac for a while..
"This is Shiryu from China my lord!" a third stranger shows up, coming out of nowhere, "my lord, and lord Poseidon, please accept my apology for being here invited, but I have an emergency request.."
This stranger has long-dark hair, shirtless, a thin figure but with muscular upper body, he is physically fit... One thing I like about him is his politeness to divine beings like me, he even knows my name, apparently he';s done plenty researches about me before coming..
"Welcome Shiryu, please have a seat and join us." If I like someone, I will try to take care of him, this is who I am..
"It';s my pleasure, but I am afraid that I don';t have time this time" this muscle man begins showing his diplomatic skills, I can tell..
Soon, he turns back to Athena and starts, "My lord, there is a problem with my teacher, he';s been upset these days.."
"Oh? What happened to him?" Athena asks, still playing cool.
"According to my teacher, he';s been sitting there for 200 some years for nothing, I wants his paychecks and his retirement plan package..."the muscle man starts showing some concerns, "my teacher is old and lonely.. I want him to be happy, therefore I decided to come to you, my lord, and fight for his rights."
"hmm" Athena goes speechless for a while, maybe touched by a story of such a great worker, who according to Shiryu';s introduction, never took a single day off from work, not even during the New Years, Labor';s Day.. What a great man!!
With my overwhelming compassion to working class people in the world, I can';t help to say, "Shiryu, your teacher is a good man, he deserves everything he worked for!" I turn to my niece, who is still deliberating, "Athena, please give the money that belongs to the old man!" By the way, I think I am the only god that opposite to concentrated wealth of divine class, and I do always look out for those who';s in poverty, except for sailors, they always need to pay sailing tax on the sea!!
After a few second silence, Athena finally begins, "Shiryu, you teacher is a great man, but he is not that old. I have already given him the benefit of lifetime. He may seem pretty old, but he is not."
This time, the strange thing doesn';t come from strangers'; mouth anymore, but from Athena! What does she mean by "a man with 200 some years is not old, and only seems old"? While checking Lymnadez and SD, and making sure they are ok with this stunning secret of the old man, Athena continues, "Shiryu, this is something you will not understand unless you see it, but just believe me!"
Shiryu, on the other hand, goes speechless for a little while, but remain calm, he says, "I am glad to hear that my teacher doesn';t have any severe physical and mental problems, but I';d still feel happy if I can do something for him. As his students, I owe him too much; please help me, my lord!"
Maybe because of his sincerity, Athena even gives in, "All right. I understand your situation... I am going to give him a long vacation, during his absence, Shion will take over his job... Regarding his checks, I am sorry that I don';t have them right now. But tell him to come and check with me again when he returns from this vacation, does it sound fair enough?"
"Yes, my lord, thank you for all you have done to us!” feeling content, muscle man is ready to leave.
"Krishna, please walk this man out," for such as polite, decent young man like him, I feel I should show him some acknowledgement, maybe Krishna is the only choice I have now..
The meeting';s been interrupted 3 times so far, I don';t even remember where I was before. Hoping that there won';t be further interruptions, I smile at Athena, trying to get back to the topics we were discussing before. However, according to the pupil reflection of image in Athena';s eyes, I can see that the meeting is interrupted once more even before it is resumed...
Two strangers show up together this time... One is shorter, with green hair. Having two chains attached to his sleeves, he can clearly replace my first impression of SD as a jail buster... The guy next to him is taller; also looks tougher with his shorter and clean-cut hair. He looks fierce in a way, especially with a scar across his face; I can tell that he';s been through a lot of street fights. These two guys look perfect when standing together, a jail buster and a gang leader from the ghetto-------- are they brothers??
The "yes" for this question doesn';t take too long, when the scar face makes a few steps forward and ready to talk. You know, having been interrupted so many times, I already know the party is ruined... Although things happen anyways, I still hope for something more interesting to hear about this time. We already had a shortie asking for medical treatment of snake bites; a duckman needing money to equip his shop with better technology; a muscular yet diplomatic dude fighting for his Sensei’s labor benefits, so what can these two come up with?
"My lord, there is a big problem concerning all of us that I must report to you," said the scar face with his unique hasty yet manly voice..
"What';s the matter, Ikki and Shun?" with Athena';s response, I also learn their names as well, though this isn';t what I really concern..
"My lord, recently there has been a group of Hell';s Angles from the dark led by a young lady called Pandora, who tried to take my younger brother back to the place we never speak of... With some luck on the side, I withstood their fierce and ruthless attack and took off with my brother still remaining in my sight. However, from years of experience of ghetto life, I know they will be back!"
Wow, this is the best one I have heard so far, it really fascinates me, especially the last few words, which truly captures my attention. By the way, I think I have heard the same voice elsewhere before, is it from “Terminator II”? Anyway, I am really curious about what Athena will respond this time..
She straddles the chair, showing some anxiety yet still looking indifferently to the two. She asks, "So what are these dark knights and why do they want to take Shun back to the shadow?"
"They are specters!!”Responded by scar face instantaneously, then he gives further information:"According to Pandora, the dark queen, my brother Shun was supposed to be one of their guys, even a leader kind... They called him lord something! Some name I can';t remember, but it started with an "H"!"
While listening to his gothic expeditions, I take a look at his younger brother, who has been quiet all the time... This young, pretty boy does look similar to someone, who I also can';t remember... His eyes are full of water and ready to let it go... But, how can such a wimp be some sort of dark lord leader? They must have made a mistake or something, come on, if I were a solitary soul in the dark, I wouldn';t have turned myself to such a pitiful character for anything...
My assumption is soon confirmed when the scar face continues:” I believe these creatures mistook my brother as someone alike, however, their brutal, ruthless beating on me had already reveal their true insight, which can';t be purify and educated by the teachings of humanity and liberty," seething with rage, the scar face rises his voice to the next level while holding his fists so tight that I almost see the vines on his entire arms... And this enraged speech goes on ,”Worst of all, they know we are from the sanctuary, knowing their terrorist mentality and tendency, I wouldn';t be surprised if they mount another attack to our base, taking lives of innocence, looting our city, and turning our peaceful home into rampage! Here I propose, my lord, an action must be taken before it';s too late! We must send our troops out to the dark and destroy the terror once and for all, so that we don';t have to face them later at home! My lord! Please advice!!"
Wait a minute! Did I hear something familiar of the last few lines of his speech? Ohh yea right! The speech of war on terror by one of the president of the US, anyway, I forget the detail of that already! Anyhow, his half plagiarized yet inciting motivational attempts does have some effect on Athena';s decision making this time, as I notice my niece is no longer seated!
With almost flames coming out of her eyes, she walks up to the scar face, "It';s time to teach Mr. H another lesson! Definitely, hacking his bank account and sabotaging his financial system isn';t enough! We must annihilate his ambition of putting his feet in my yard! Ikki! You have my word now! Aiolia, Milo, Shaka, Mu, Aludebaran and so on are ready for actions! Get them together, and we will launch attack by nightfall!!"
"Yes my lord!" scar face and his jailor brother storm off in slip seconds! With this kind of speed, I don';t see any problem of him getting away from any ambushes! Well, just to make sure they won';t be attacked on their way by home, I send Sorrento, Lymnades and Io out on the look out for these two, after all, I kind of want to see them again for more blood-pumping stories! Athena, on the other hand, has been completely changed. No longer calm and relaxed, she is now on fire.. It';s proved once more how important a powerful speech can do in terms of changing other';s decision making, I really need to learn this!
Looking at Athena';s livid face, it remains me of her another identity ---- Goddess of War... Same like another crazy dude Aries, the God of War, you should never talk to these kinds about something else when they are looking for fights! Yet, the problem is, what should I say now?
But I try my best to finish reading it....It may improve my English....
The story is about Poseidon？I think it wonderful.....
Other I also said not much.Announcing in English the commentary may want my life......
"Lord Athena and Lord Poseidon, due to those unexpected visits, we weren';t able to concentrate on some of the issues being discussed, Shall we start again now?" This is SD, he comes to the front from off the stage, being a little frustrated yet still remains polite..
While I am trying to come up with appropriate response, a wild screaming thunders out of sudden, scaring both me and SD off the position..
It is Athena! out of desperation and frustration, she starts to jump up and down with only two words repeatedly coming out of her mouth,” My Gosh! My Gosh!"
SD is completely shocked, and has no idea what to do. So I must do something, so I ask:” Calm down my niece, tell me what happened ok!"
"Oh my Gosh! I can';t believe what I just said to all those guys, I forgot too many things!!" no longer looking furiously intimidating as she did before, she is now looking as if a house-wife just set the whole kitchen on fire by accident, in other names, Goddess of walking disaster!
“I asked Seiya to turn to Aiolos for money right? I just remember that he';s been taken hostage by Hades, last week I was blackmailed and they were asking for 1 million dollars to have him redeemed! My Gosh! Seiya will come back to me when he knows about this!!"
Ohh, Seiya! He must be the short boy who interrupted the party first.. Well, I don';t want to see him back either, because of his impolite manners..
"Hyoga! He will come back too! I remember! The money that I gave Saga for his campaign! It';s all gone! He built a huge bath in his private room that cost a lot of money! I promised not to tell anybody about this since he agreed to let me use it once a while.. My Gosh! If Hyoga goes back, everybody will know about this, crap is going to hit the fan if I don';t do something now!!"
I am speechless again, I never knew that they also had a cool bath, hmmm, I am thinking to claim my share on it too..
"I shouldn’t have said anything about Shion!!" Athena continues without stop, "I know Shiryu';s teacher is not really old, but Shion is really old! He can';t physically handle the job that I exchange for him! Shiryu will come back, what am I going to do?"
This time I really don';t understand at all... I don';t get it when there are two "old men", one is not old and the other is really old... This must be her creation or something!
"The worst of all, I don';t want to start a war now!! To start a war, I need my Divine Cloth on, but I can';t remember where it was put! In addition, Shaka';s been showing me his intention of leaving, because I heard he was getting a better offer from Budha; Aiolia and Milo have been wanting for vacations for so long, they can';t fight now; Aludebaren is in Brazil now, supposedly babysitting a little girl in her garden of Cymbidium, he can';t make it by nightfall; four out of five are out of question now, Mu can';t do anything on his own! What am I going to do? Ikki and Shun will return, and I must hind somewhere before they all show up again!!""
Being extremely frustrated, she is no longer behaving like a god, instead, she is just a teenager chick now... I remember, since she was born out of my brother’s head, her divine ability does develop differently after each of her incarnation... Through years of life experience and the awareness of the so called "cosmos", the mighty goddess of wisdom and war would then eventually reveal.. Looking at all the mistakes and unnatural behaviors of her during the party and now, I can tell she still needs to retain all her memory of the past, and she is only half way through!
"
While SD is still out, I have to make up my mind; first, she needs to be put away so I can wake him up... Therefore, I come up with a place!
"This way, you can stay here for a while if you want!" I grasp her arms, and start dragging her toward the main breadwinner--- My shower room in other words...
This works, she gets in there without any struggles, and locks the door from the inside..
"Thank you so much my uncle, you are indeed almighty!" a voice from the inside,” You don';t mind if I take a shower right?"
"Ok, push the red bottom on the wall." I am thinking she can do anything she wants inside as long as she is quiet from now!
Back to the outside where SD is, he recovers from the shocking incident earlier on... looking at the entire mess left on the party; we really don';t know what to do! Are there only two of us to clean up the mess? Maybe it';s better to wait for other guys back, so we wait..
It is unusual for anyone to shower for such a long time... After 6 hours, it';s getting late, but Athena is still in there... While waiting for others to get back, I have SD check up with Athena--- make sure she is ok!
Having a bad day, I am no longer thinking about solving problems between Athena and Hades, and getting my commissions, I just want to call it a day. Being so tired and sleepy, I wonder what SD wants now...
Not for so long, I again notice some intruders.. Arriving at the speed of light (or almost that speed,) there are 5 of them... 3 of them wear shinny Golden armors, one has bow and arrows on the hand; the other two also look pretty funny... Two of those wear Bronx Cloth, who I recognize soon, it';s the scar face and his chained brother!! So the other three must be Gold Saints!!!
"Athena is no here at this time, please come back again!” I also turn to the guy with bow and arrows, "this is no a good place for hunting, please go somewhere else!"
"
Ohh, does this sound familiar? Yes it does! He is that shortie, still so impolite no matter what cloth he is in, I always see his true self... I also know the other two Gold Saints too, they are Hyoga and Shiryu! What';s the matter with all of them? Breathing heavily, I know they have been running unstoppably over here... Hmmm, now I begin to understand why Athena was so nervous about their returns.. They are definitely on fire!
"Ok, please tell me what';s going on; maybe I can do something for you." I say..
This time, all 5 men start at the same time:” In the last few hours, there have been earthquakes, heave raining and thunderstorms all over the world... Millions of people lost their lives because of water overflow, the world is turning into a living hell now! We were told that there must be something going on in dear palace that is causing all the disasters! So we must need help from my lord Athena!"
"Dear my lord! Something urgent!" right after these 5 men, here comes SD, coming back from the area of main breadwinner; he is breathing heavily as well.
After a few second stop, SD says, "Athena is not responding no matter what I do! So I had to look through the windows, I didn';t mean to spy her, but I found out that the entire inside was filled with water, and she was apparently drowned!!"
"What!! How can this be? If the red bottom is pushed in, water isn';t supposed to..."
"But the fact is that I saw both red and blue bottoms were pushed in! I guess she thought the blue bottom was the off-switch."
Ohh!!! This time crap really hits the fan!! I forgot to tell her that to turn off the water, just simply push the red bottom again!! And if the blue bottom is pushed in, the whole world will be drowned!! I have this setup because Hades and Zeus also have their own ways to immediately destroy the whole world as well... There has been a balance of power ever since the world was re-divided! None of us had been willing to flirt with the risk of provoking one another, it cost more than rewards… So the world had been peaceful But due to Athena!! She is really screwing up things for me!!
"Well, guys. I know what';s going on!" I turn to those 5 men, "you see that tall building there? You have to destroy it in order to save the whole world!" In fact, once the blue bottom is pushed in, nothing can stop the water unless the breadwinner is destroyed..
I don';t want this world to be destroyed.. There is a rule among three of us. If the world is ruined by any means, we all have the responsibility to rebuild it... That will be indeed pain in the neck and I certainly don';t want to do it... Comparatively, the main breadwinner isn';t that hard to build...
A huge collision occurs as if the meteor hits this planet; the building has been taken down! The shortie walks his way out of the remaining ruins of the breadwinner, of course picking up my unconscious niece, while I see high-fives, moonwalking, flipping and other forms of celebration by the rest people.. I am standing on the side, not exciting at all... You know, my shower room isn';t that hard to be destroyed, I did it before... But according to them, a miracle';s been accomplished, what a joke!
"Ok guys! party is over! You take her back, and the world is saved, right?" this time, it';s my turn to interrupt their celebration, "Take her back and we are even... Please don';t come anymore, I need to go to bed now!!"
I have already planned this out... Since I know how Athena really is at this point, there surely won';t be a war with Hades yet. So nothing is to be resolved.. Remember, Hades is still suffering from diarrhea now... So what';s the point of insisting?
"
His is frustrated now. In fact, I am too, but with different reasons.. I really don';t see what I can get out of doing all these craps. But I see one thing must be done now, that is ---------- kicking SD';s butt!!! That’s what he gets for wasting my time and using me!
This doesn';t take too much effort, he goes down with my trident poking into his chest, yet he is not dead! I don';t intend to kill anyone, but certainly he won';t come back, neither will rest of the men he hired from the beginning.. Isn';t that what I want? So I can take a long peaceful nap again!
As I request, SD is taken away by those men back to the earth... I don';t want to see any of them ever again nor listening to any silly plans of making money... However, I am not a total loser compare to my brothers: Hades is in a very bad shape as I mention, it will take him forever to recuperate; Zeus still lives up there and have nothing to rule... Look at me, the omnipotent and omniscient king of the sea still prevail although my bathroom is temporarily unavailable for the time being....
This is it, I am back to my dream once again... I hope everybody, especially my poor niece Athena can get this: Making money is never easy, you only deserve what you work for... So if you want to make money, work hard and do the right thing now! Don';t believe in any kinds of money-making plans from strangers, especially when it sounds easy and good, it always turns out to be a lie...
Remember this, from you Uncle Almighty!
(THE END............)
Chapter One:
大家好，先来个自我介绍一下吧。。
我是波赛东，海皇。其实，由于很多关于我的形象的不正确的传说和描写（也就是些胡说八道），很多人都怕我。。虽然我大部分的孩子都是穷凶极恶的家伙们，他们也干过许多例如破坏，绑架人类美女等的坏事，但是拜托啊，我还是有些还不错的孩子嘛，像海王子克修拉那样的，也不是很恐怖嘛。。
顺便说一下，我一般不生气。除非如果我没有被闹钟叫醒的话-------就是我侄女雅典娜送给我当生日礼物的那个破壶啦。。 算了，废话少说，就是说我睡过头醒来后才会生气。。正常来说，我就会拿那些正在航海的海员们出出气，把他们沉了。。这种事很少发生。我一般就是睡觉，醒了洗个好澡，吃顿爽的然后再出去钓鱼什么的，日子过得真美。。
再说说我当海皇的由来。。我有两个兄弟，宙斯和哈蒂斯。我们小的时候，老爸克罗诺斯可坏了，估计是个儿童虐待狂。我算幸运的了，还能四肢健全的长大，那两位就不清楚了。他俩的童年可能比我更惨。当然了，他们计划把老爸干掉，那次我也帮了个忙。。结果呢，老爸挂了，我们哥儿仨要重新瓜分世界了。。几乎所有的赌场的方法都用上了，什么转轮盘，掷色子，扔硬币等等。。 最后，宙斯抽中了天界，可把他乐翻了。而我却对此不以为然，天上什么都没有，不好玩。不过呢这样对他也好，谁让小时候的悲惨故事使他的性格孤僻多疑呢，还是去没人的地方待着好。。我呢当然是抽到了我想去的地方了----海洋。这里环境很好而且生机勃勃------至少有可管的东西啦。。最惨的当然是哈蒂斯了，就这样被困在了地底下，天天和亡灵做伴，哎。。。
好了，就这些。在自己舒服的家里待着，生活平淡但也很满意。。但是，有一天发生了一见难忘的事，就是我竟然第一次的被自己闹钟吵醒了！当然，多亏了一个陌生人。。
我来告诉你们怎么回事吧。。
不知道时间过了多久，感觉就像是我和我老婆们在疯狂世界里永远的飞翔着，可能昨晚那一加仑的白酒吧，我还没缓过来呢。其实，一夫多妻在我们神中很普遍，喝酒更事我们交流的一种重要方式，尤其是当我那几位太太又给我找麻烦时，喝喝酒可以消除一下烦恼，当然每次喝不了几口我总是倒了。。
不过呢，传来一种声音，虽熟悉但又遥远，渐渐地把我拉回了现实。。越来越近，我慢慢地看见了一个影子，飘着长发，但是由于光线太强了，我看不清他的脸，很可怕吧？
光逐渐变暗了然后消失，我睁开了双眼。。虽然还有点晕晕的，我还是尽量想去搞懂那到底是什么声音。 很快发现那是我闹钟的声音，宝壶的封印被打开了-------说明了有人闯了进来把我吵醒了！
但是想想看，这又不是什么坏事。。 被吵醒也总比睡过头好呀。本来我都计划好等酒醒后拿岸上的人们出气呢。所以这回我到不是很生气，这个陌生人应该是世上最幸运的人了。。
先打量一下这家伙。。不知道从哪里冒出来的，全身邋遢透顶呀！我的天，全身还有一股死鱼的味道。。他蓝蓝的长发已经五颜六色了，估计是不是和章鱼捉迷藏然后被海草缠住了呀？他的衣服也是旧旧的，千疮百孔。。眼里充满了疲劳和慌张，感觉就想是刚从狱里逃出来现在被全世界通缉一样。。
“咳咳咳”先清一清喉咙，“你把我吵醒的么？”
听到我的回复了，此人马上瞳孔变的巨大，连我自己全身的样子都能看见了！就这几秒钟，此人的思想做了180度的大转变，从极度的不安和绝望到现在的欣喜若狂。。真是呀，神的语言就是不同，它能转绝望为希望呀！！嘿嘿！
“是的殿下！”通缉犯说的：“大人，我现在再找工作，请收下我吧！”
有意思，我说：“怎么回事？我刚睡醒呀！”
“大人，请原谅！我们有一个黄金机会！”
什么呀？不过越来越有趣了！
通缉犯接着说道：“众所周知，雅典娜和哈蒂斯将会有一场战争！”
其实对这点我早有预感。我可怜的老哥在地底下也住了很久了。绝对的，他肯定饱受那些死人的折磨，现在做梦都些出来享受一下新鲜空气呀！毕竟，那些恶臭的空气加上冥界的饮食习惯会严重影响身体健康的，更重要的是那里一点休闲娱乐都没有，连神都会被逼疯的。就凭这些，我很理解哈蒂斯。。
“那么他是想打败雅典娜，把家搬到地上圣域去么？”我这么问只是想看看他是不是这么快就要动手而已。
“我相信它其实很想现在就动手的，就如说每个战争后面都有一个借口那样，”通缉犯开始变得有自信了：“是这样的。。243年前，哈蒂斯和108冥斗士放假去地上圣域游玩，但是他们所到之处全被乱收费了。连冥界信用卡也用不了，雅典娜甚至冻结了哈蒂斯的地上银行并派天枰座的圣斗士封锁了整个街区。哈蒂斯无奈只有回家准备报仇计划了！”
“嗯，243年，对我来说也就是昨晚我醉酒之后的事了。”虽然尽力想去回忆，可是脑子还是不好使，“无所谓了，但是你怎么知道这么多的？”
“我胞兄撒卡在雅典娜那里工作，他说的。我也和冥界的拉达曼提斯核实了一下。”
“那好，但这和我有什么关系？”我有点搞不懂了。。
“大人，如果他们真的打起来了，对谁都不好。于是宙斯想从中调和一下。但是，他最近和雅典娜有点过节，另一方面，哈蒂斯也和他关系不好。上次是他出千赢了那个赌局，所以才可以像现在一样高高在天上悠闲，而哈蒂斯却要待在地底下，为这事哈蒂斯还是忘不了呀。。所以，宙斯才不会出面呢，他现在就靠大人您了！为此，事成后他愿意出钱作为我们的报酬."
"嗯，听起来挺好的，我也缺钱花。"我开始回忆起和这帮小人们一起时的一些点点滴滴了，接下来又问：“但是你这么做又得到了什么呢？”
“大人，很简单。”通缉犯两眼闪烁着希望的光芒：“我在双方阵营都有很多关系。萨卡是我哥，现在主管圣域行政；拉达也是我兄弟，我俩经常掰腕子，他从没赢过。有他们的关系，我们很容易成功。事后，宙斯将会让我做他的地上的大使，我将有全力维护大人您的一些利益，如您将不用担心海员们不按时进贡；没人敢偷陆上的马匹等等。”
哈哈，这家伙挺有意思呀，我开始对他产生好感了。。
“好，你叫什么？”我一般都在面试后再问对方名字，一惯做法。。
“我？啊，叫海龙，简称S.D,大人！”他接着说：“还有，大人。由于我哥把地址搞错了，所以我深陷某地窖数日。期间发现一个三叉戟，相信是大人您的。。”
哎呀，是真的？估计是，我想，他的地窖肯定是我常去打渔的地方，我把家伙丢在那里一点也不奇怪。。虽然不知道这是第几次了，但是就想某流行歌后唱的那样：“woops,我又干了一次。”我又干了一次呀！ 不过还是要感谢他一下。。
“大人，可以开工了么？”他问道，连带伸手笔划一翻，向我表示他以迫不及待的要开工了。。
“噢~其实，我现在还有些事要处理，你不如先去准备吧。过两天再来找我，咱们再说吧。到时我打算请双方到场讲和。”虽然可以现在就行动，但还是决定先把他支走。因为我刚发现自己其实一丝不挂，光屁股上战场一向不是我的作风嘛。。
“是，大人！等我好消息吧！”话音还未落，此人光速消失了。。
这一天揭下来，我开始要好好打扮一下了。先打个盹，调整状态。还有呀，我已经看中了一个希腊富人的三岁小孩做我的化身。这娃不错，眉清目秀，根据他的家庭背景，party对他来说应该不是什么陌生的东西。等我睡醒后，他也该是个青少年了，一个完美的转世，然后就开party了，哈哈。。
先说声再见吧
"SD, 一切就绪了?"又是美丽的一天，身穿全新的衣服，加上手握威风的三叉戟，朱利安索罗要开工了，其实多亏了我，不然这小子现在还是个平凡人。。
“是的大人，一切就绪。”SD也打扮得不错，至少没有上次那么可怕了：“我又请了几个帮手一起搞party：苏兰特是世界级的音乐家，笛子是其专长，他负责演奏背景音乐；拜安和克修拉担当保镖；依奥提供一切饮食，放心，什么山珍海味都有；艾尔扎可是空调技术员，负责将晚会时的室内气温保持在理想状态下；晚会的压轴戏就是魔术表演，由隆纳迪斯表演，当然前提是会谈成功；而我将会从天花板上注视着一切，再有需要的情况下出来帮忙。。。。”
“那么好。。狄迪斯，雅典娜和哈第斯有什么消息没有？”美人鱼狄迪斯是个美丽动人的姑娘，她负责向双方当事人发邀请函，这也是计划的一部份。。
“大人，由于意外，哈蒂斯和冥界代表将不能出席。”她停了停接着说道：“根据我的情报，哈蒂斯由于食物中毒而病了，他现在有严重的腹泻，也因此所有108冥斗士全要留在冥界待命。”
“真遗憾。”这又证明了我对冥界悲惨生活的理解。可怜的家伙呀，早就叫你不要乱吃东西啦。。
“那他的两位助理呢？能来么？”
“据潘多拉的可靠消息，达纳都斯何许普诺斯昨晚因为交房租一是大打出手。悲剧发生在他俩用绝招互欧的一瞬：达纳都斯睡得像死猪一样怎么也叫不醒；许普诺斯虽然还活着，但元神已散。听说要使元神归体需要等不知多久。不过这对他来说还是不幸中的万幸了。总之，由于此事，他俩不能出席。。”
“嗯。。虽然很值得同情，但人生还要继续呀，同样party也要继续。。看来这次他们就算了。。”隐约感到海龙有点失望，不过他很快缓了过来，并微笑了一下。。
“虽然如此，我还使有个好消息。”狄迪斯说。。
“是什么？”要知道，这句话有点熟，使我想起了美国的一个著名的汽车保险广告的台词，那句话的下半段是：“我刚刚把保险换成GEIGO的并省了很多钱呀！”
当然，狄迪斯的版本是：“雅典娜将会准时到场！”
很久没见过我这个侄女了，不知道她怎么样了，便胖了？虽然是从宙斯头颅里生出来的，但她可一点也没有遗传那个简单的头脑。她很机灵呢，尤其擅长外交辞令。绝对的，有号称心灵猎手之称的隆纳迪斯在身边我可以没有顾忌的和这个智慧之神打交道了。。
雅典娜看起来不错。。尤其是这次没有那12个麻烦的家伙陪同，我更可以长舒一口气了。
苏兰特的音乐响起了，于是我开口问候：“我得侄女亚，欢迎，请就坐！”
随着拜安和克修拉的带领下，我们来到大厅，我又说道：“请随便！我知道你长途跋涉来到这里很不容易。我已经准备了丰盛的晚餐。依奥，准备好了！”
“是的大人！”依奥拿着特别装订好的菜单说：“秉大人，雅典娜大人，今天特色菜有：蟒蛇汤和纸包碥蝠翅膀（开胃菜），主菜宫保鹰肉，糖醋熊掌，鱼香草原狼，餐后甜点是大黄蜂蜂蜜。最后欢迎光临，并带我向圣域的朋友们问好。。”
“哇，不错呀，”雅典娜开口了，“对了叔叔，找我有什么事？”
她按说应该知道我为什么请她来呀，看来不出所料，她已经开始玩心理战了。该隆纳迪斯一展身手了吧。。
“是这样，我们准备了这么丰盛的晚餐怎么能少了你呀”我很有信心，因为雅典娜脑子里的每一个活动都已经成功并及时地传送到我这里了，多亏了隆纳迪斯。所以我总是知道该说些什么，以致不会亮出底牌来。。
“谢谢叔叔，但是事情没这么简单吧。”
你看，她还不狡猾么？原来在考察我的动机呀。。等着最后一个脑电波符号传送完毕后，我开口：“当然，我总是很关心你的健康，不止是你，包括我所有亲戚。真得很高兴你能来。”根据脑电波的最后一段，我知道要先不露生色但又围绕主题展开谈话：“吃饭前，请允许我关心一下那些在另一个世界里和食物中毒作斗争的朋友们吧，如果你不介意的话。。”
“叔叔呀，认识你这么久了，从没见你这样过。到底怎么了？”雅典娜看着我，同时我也可以感觉到她的一丝挖苦。。
“我读了些关于冥界生活条件调查的一些文章。你知道，根据那文，冥界是污染最严重的地方，简直是细菌成堆。更不用说在那里的呼吸，身体接触，洗澡，上网等等很多普通的日常活动都会引起肺功能衰退，生育畸形，皮肤癌，腹泻，便秘，肺结核等等疾病。更可怕的，在那里饮食简直是一种恶梦，还有。。。” 我不得以停了下来，根据她脑部活动的同步更新显示她对很多医学术语一窍不通。。那我还浪费口舌干嘛？
“总之，这篇文章使我想起了我哥，哈蒂斯。不知道他可好？”我很自然的提到了哈蒂斯，没有造成雅典娜一丝怀疑。。
“嗷他呀，”雅典娜似乎在装傻，“还是不要提他了好吧。。”
很不错，不过我有应对之法。“是，我这明白，不觉得应该把他也叫来么？我肯定他正在为吃饭发愁呢，也许你也可以邀请他去圣域走走，他一定会感谢的。。”
目前为止，雅典娜似乎还没有对我提及哈蒂斯这一举动抱有任何怀疑，至少脑部信息没有相关显示。。计划还是顺利，很快我就能知道雅典娜心目中的哈蒂斯是如何的了。这很重要，尤其是在找出他俩新仇旧恨的来源上，我很快就达到目的了。。
雅典娜顿住了，似乎有点迷茫。这时我完全不知道她在想什么。甚至所有隆纳迪斯和我之间的心灵情报分析也搞不清所以然来，因为她的大脑完全乱了。。好像还有一丝同情心，但有很不情愿的表达出来。我开始在想，哈蒂斯上次到底搞什么去了，弄得现在这么尴尬。
“叔叔，很抱歉，我不能请哈蒂斯。”经过几分钟的沉思，雅典娜还是开口了，“在他上次访问中发生了些事情。。”
翻出一本笔记本，这时她的大脑清醒多了，不再像刚才那么乱了。“冥界三巨头的破坏环境的做法给我们圣域的环保工作带来很大的不便，特别是对处女宫的破坏使那里只剩两棵树了，其余全变成了荒草原；我们环境的又一损失就是双鱼玫瑰园被成群的蝴蝶咬光了。除以上非人道的行径外，水瓶宫被泽罗斯搞得全是冻青蛙腿，冥界蠕虫，毒气等产物也使我们的农业工作大大萎缩了，为此我还要自掏腰包向穆，雅尔迪，修罗等人赔偿损失。在和某些法学专家探讨后，结论是，哈蒂斯要位所发生的一切负责，包括赔偿损失。因此，他被赶回冥界，直到我赔款收到，请谅解，叔叔。。”
呃。。难怪呢。他的银行，信用卡都被冻了。如果不是身体不适，可能早就发动反击了。看来我一定要保持中立，但是提些建设性的意见，这样才行呀。。
这时，我让爱尔扎克调节一下气温；让苏兰特换首音乐-------做这些只是想赢得一些思考的时间想想对策。。 这可是很复杂的，不是我这么想，而是根据海龙和隆纳迪斯。。
突然，由于陌生人的出现，我和后台的交流被割断了。。和上次看见通缉犯不同，这个陌生人是个个子矮矮的东方人。看上去有点落魄。不过他的衣着表示了他的身份-------应该是雅典娜的圣斗士，青铜级的吧。。
喘着粗气，他跑向雅典娜，甚至在我还没来得及开口时就说了：“不好了大人！最近的环保报告中发现了一种新型毒蛇的足迹，就在圣域附近徘徊。已造成了几死几伤，这种毒药的解药现在急需！作为最近的受害者之一，魔玲脸色惨白，危在旦夕，急需接受治疗！向她这样的应该不在少数！”小个子说话太快了，我根本没有机会插嘴，本想让他至少也要和我这个神打声招呼嘛。他继续说道：“我因此请求资金援助，以此来建立急救小组，救人于危难！另外我亲自向大人请求对师傅魔零的额外救助，她快死了！”
“真的么？真奇怪。算了，问艾俄罗斯吧。他有钱。。”雅典娜的回答简单明了，看来她不愿和小矮个浪费太多时间，也许他不够帅吧，天晓得。。
就在我打算说句话时，小个子已经消失得无影无踪了，留下的只是这个令人毛骨悚然的毒蛇袭击人类的消息。当然，大部份人可能是被他这光速的来去搞晕了，而不是真正的害怕什么。。
为了不想再见到此人，我命令拜安随其前去，以防其回来。。
很快，我就发现了他不是唯一的一个陌生人，因为他刚一走，又来一个人。。
此人金发碧眼，头顶一个奇怪的头盔，像一只鸭子在拍翅膀。不过他的老板雅典娜似乎对此不敢冒--------从他的衣着来看，应该和刚才那位是一个级别的圣斗士。。
“雅典娜大人，是冰河。。”嗯，比上个好点，至少还有个名字。他接着说：“很抱歉打扰了你们的宴会。。但是有件事很急，大人。”
“说吧，我无所谓！”终于有机会插话了，让这个鸭人知道我的存在嘛，不得不如此：“我是波赛东，这是我的宴会。。”
“很高兴认识您，波赛东先生。”说完鸭人马上转向雅典娜，抛下了再次受惊的我，这回是“波赛东先生”这个称呼。。
“我们的雪糕店要倒闭了，没有生意了。我的老板卡秒大人让我过来申请点救援资金以便给店内的设施进行升级：我们需要镭射光线洗碗机，微声报警器，动能削冰器再加两部可上网的电脑，谢谢！”
看来此鸭人对科技很了解呀。这次我似乎不是唯一一个无语的听众了，我注意到室内气温在这几秒钟内发生了急剧的变化-------说明了艾尔扎克正在经历一个特别而强烈的心理感受，如强烈的妒忌；隆纳迪斯也毫无头绪，所以他干脆停止了脑电波交流，然后不停的摇头晃脑。我肯定海龙和苏兰特也有同样的感受。。总之，此人是个科学怪人，不过至少比较讲礼貌，还当我是存在的，这点比那小个子好一些。。
“没问题，去找萨卡吧，上星期我给了他很多钱，给他教皇选举拉票时用的，但我相信我给多了。总之他有钱。。”雅典娜依旧冷静地说：“把这个拿去吧，上面证明了我刚才说的话，萨卡绝对没有问题。。”
“太感谢了！太好了！”由于兴奋，此人边跳着巴雷似的舞步边往外跑，我从没见过此步法。。。
“等一下！冰河！”原来是爱尔扎克，他急了，“大人，请予我随冰河去去，我有些要紧事一定要说！”
“好，你去吧。。”我是没有问题，毕竟他刚才那样的变换温度把我们折磨得够呛，他走了也好。。不然我们的身体健康将会受到极大的挑战。。
“我是紫龙，从中国来，大人！”第三个陌生人不知从哪里冒了出来，“雅典娜，波赛东大人，请原谅我打扰了您们，但在下确有要事相求。”
此人一头黑色长发，没穿上衣，身材偏瘦但是上半身肌肉发达，有一点我比较喜欢他，就是他对我这样的神表示起码的尊敬，甚至知道我是谁，看来是有备而来的。。
“欢迎，请坐下，一起吃点吧。”我就是这样，如果欣赏某个人就会很照顾他。。
“非常荣幸，但是恐怕在下没有时间，很抱歉。”很明显，此肌肉男开始礼节性的客气起来了。。
马上。他转向雅典娜并说道：“大人，我师傅出了点问题呀，他有点不正常。。”
“什么事？”雅典娜还是冷冷得说。。
“师傅说他已经在那里坐了243年了，可是什么也没有得到，他要他的工资和退休福利。”肌肉男有点忧愁的说着：“我师傅老了，又很孤单，我希望他老人家开心，所以决定前来，大人，我要维护师傅的权益。。”
“嗯。”雅典娜沉默了一会，也许是被感动了吧。。根据紫龙，老师这么多年来一直坚守阵地，连一天假都没有请过，就算是新年，劳动节也没有放假。。 多好的员工呀！
抱着对劳动人民强烈的同情，我忍不助开口了，“紫龙，你师傅是好人，他应该得到自己的东西。。”接着我又向还在发呆的雅典娜说：“侄女，请给那老人发工资吧。。”顺便说下，我可能是唯一一个反对神阶级掌握全部财富的神啦，我还经常照顾穷人阶级的，除了水手们，他们还是要向我进贡的！
几分钟沉默过后，雅典娜终于说话了：“紫龙，你师傅人是不错，但他其实还不老。。我已经给了他人生的至宝了，他只是看起来老，其实不然。。”
这一次，怪言怪语不是从陌生人嘴里出来的，而是从雅典娜嘴里喷了出来！她这么说是什么意思，什么“看起来老而又不老的”？晕。我赶紧看看隆纳迪斯，看他有没有被这怪事搞晕，这时雅典娜又说道：“紫龙，这种事除非亲眼看到，否则难以置信，但是还请相信我。。”
紫龙呢，也是一时无语，但是缓过来后依然冷静地说：“很高兴知道师傅身心还很健康，但是我如果可以亲自为他做点什么就更好了，我欠他的太多了，请大人帮帮我。”
也许是被他的真诚打动了吧，雅典娜说道：“好吧，我理解。。我决定给他放长假，这期间史昂会顶替他的。。关于工资嘛，目前没有，等他放完假回来再找我吧。。这样行了么？”
“太好了，谢谢大人！”肌肉男满意的准备离开。。
“克修拉，请帮我送客。。”对于这样一个懂礼貌，有风度的人，我是要找人送送的，克修拉应该是最适合的。。
宴会已经3次被打断了，我都不记得刚才讲到哪里了。希望这这是最后一次打扰，我对雅典笑笑，并准备继续刚才的话题。。但是根据她眼珠里反射的投影，我已经看到了宴会在还没继续前又被打断了一次。。。。。。
这回竟然来了两个人。其中一个稍矮一点，一头绿发。凭着两个护腕下吊着的两条铁链子，他绝对可以取代海龙在我心目中的逃犯形象了。。他旁边的那个人稍微强壮结实点，一头短发很整齐的顶在头上。。他长得很凶，尤其是脸上的那个刀疤，给我感觉一定是个街头打架长大的。。这两人站在一起到挺般配的，越狱犯和街头霸王，是哥儿俩吧？
这没多久就肯定了，这时刀疤脸向前走了过来准备开口。。要知道，这个宴会算是彻底没希望了，都已经被打断3次了。。虽然如此，但我却在等着听些新颖有趣的东西。目前为止已经有了个找蛇毒解药的小个子；一个要装修雪糕店的鸭人；一个为师傅的劳工权益申诉的肌肉男，看看这两位有什么说的。。
“大人，有一件事关乎到我们所有的利益，我一定要向您汇报。”刀疤脸用一种特有的沙哑的声音说。。
“一辉，瞬，怎么回事？”从雅典娜口中我知道了他俩的名字，虽然这不是我关心的。。
“大人，最近有一帮自称来自地狱的天使们由一个姓潘的年轻女子带领，他们要绑架我弟弟，并把他带去那个我们不曾提及的地方去。我运气好，所以在他们拳打脚踢的攻击下幸运的带着弟弟全身而退，但是据本人多年混江湖的经验，他们会回来的！”
瓦，这个是我目前听到的最吸引人的一个了，尤其是最后几个字，更事引起我强烈的注意。我记得在哪里听过相同的话，连语气也一样，是终结者二吧。。总之，这次我真得很想看看雅典娜的反应了。
只见她斜坐在椅子的一边，脸上有一丝不安但是还是冷漠的看着两人，并说：“他们到底是谁呀？为什么要抓瞬？”
“他们是地狱幽灵！！”刀疤脸马上回复，并近一步解释道：“根据姓潘的，我弟弟本来就是他们的一员，还是个什么头目呀。。他们管他叫什么大人，我记不得了，好像是“哈”字开头的。。”
一边听着这鬼故事，我一边注视了一下他那个一言不发的弟弟。。这个小孩眉清目秀的，确实长得像某位，我记不得了。此人眼泪汪汪的。我在想，这样的一个胆小鬼怎么会是什么黑暗破坏神什么的呀？一定是认错人了吧。你看嘛，如果我是某个孤魂野鬼的话都不会去打他什么主意。。
我的猜测又一次被刀疤脸证实了，他说：“我相信他们认错人了，以为我弟弟是某人。但是，他们对我残忍，血腥的殴打已经向世人展示了其邪恶的本质，他们已是不可救药的了，既使人道感化和自由教育也不行！”在愤怒中抖动着全身，并提高了嗓门同时双手紧握着拳头，手臂上的青筋一条条的连老远的我都看得清楚。“最可怕的事，他们知道我们的圣域所在。在了解了他们的恐怖主义倾向与本质，他们的再一次攻击是在我预料之内的，到时候他们烧杀抢掠，整个圣域都会秩序大乱！因此大人，我提出在还来得及的情况下对这帮可恶的人采取军事行动。我们一定要出兵把他们彻底打败，以至未来将不会使他们有机会侵略我们的家园！大人，请指示！”
等一下，最后这段好想很熟呀！？ 对对对！好像是在某位美国总统发表的对恐怖主义宣战的言讲里面的吧，总之具体的记不得了。。不管怎样，他这段半原创的煽动言论还是对冷漠的雅典娜起了点作用，因为我注意到她现在已经不是坐着的了。。
双眼几乎喷出火来，她走向刀疤脸说道：“该是教训哈先生的时候了！看来，袭击他的银行户口和秘密破坏其金融系统还不足以制服他。我一定要彻底粉碎他侵略我的地头的野心！一辉听我指示！爱欧里亚，米罗，穆，沙加，雅尔迪等准备好行动，叫齐他们，我们今晚出兵！！”
“遵命！”刀疤脸和他那逃犯弟弟转眼间就不见了..
以他这样的速度，难怪可以逃脱任何形式的偷袭呢。。以防他们再次被偷袭，我命令苏兰特，依奥和隆纳迪斯三人出去护送，谁让我还想等他们回来继续讲这令人血脉澎湃的故事呢？至于雅典娜，已经完全不同了，不在冷漠安然而是火上心头。。这再次证实了一个有力的言讲对于转变人的想法是多么有效的呀，我真的要好好学习点呀。。
看着她气的铁青的脸，我想起了她另一个名字-----战争女神。就像另一个疯子，战神阿列斯一样，千万不要在他们想打架的时候和其谈论任何话题。但问题是，现在我该做什么呢？
Chapter four:
“雅典娜，波赛东大人，由于刚才的意外干扰，我们不能正常开会，现在可以重新开始么？”是SD，从幕后出来，虽然有点着急但还是很注意礼节地说着。。
正当我还在想该说什么时，突然一个震耳欲聋的尖叫声冒了出来，把我和SD都吓了一跳！
是雅典娜，他火烧屁股似的上下跳着，而嘴里却只不停的冒出几个字：“我的天！我的天！！”
SD已经被吓晕了，我一定要想个办法，于是说：“不要急，告诉我发生什么事啦！”
“我的天！刚才和那几个人说的话都是真的？，惨了，很多事情我都忘了！”不像刚才那样的给人可怕的感觉了，现在的她有点像个不小心把自家厨房点着了的家庭主妇一样手忙脚乱的, 给她起个名字叫灾难之神吧。。
“我不是让星矢去找艾俄罗斯拿钱吗？刚想起来他已经被哈蒂斯抓去当人质了，上星期刚收到一封勒索信说要一百万才能赎回他，惨了，星矢知道后一定会回来找我的！”
嗯，星矢一定是刚才那个矮子，对，我也不想再看见她，因为他不懂礼貌！
“冰河！他也会回来的！还记得我给萨卡的教皇竞选资金已经全被他花光了！他建了座私人浴池，很贵的！我还答应不说出去呢，因为他同意偶尔也让我用用！完了，冰河知道后一定会回来的，到时所有人都知道了，就不可收拾了！”
这回我又无语了，没想到除了我这里外还有一个豪华浴池，到真想去看看呢。。
“史昂的是更不应该说！紫龙的师傅确实还不老，但是史昂是真的老了！他怎么能胜任呢？紫龙也会回来的！”
这我就不懂了！怎么会有两个老人，一个老一个不老呢？她的发明？？
“最坏的是我现在不能发动战争呀！要打的话我一定要穿上我的战衣，可是记不得把它放哪里了！还有，沙加好想要不干了，因为我听说他在佛祖那里找到份更好的差事；爱欧里亚和米罗想放假想了很久了，他们不愿意打仗；雅尔迪应该在巴西看孩子吧，一个住在紫罗兰花园的小姑娘，他在天黑前回不来；剩下个穆的话这仗打不了呀！一辉和瞬要事回来的话！不行，我要找个地方躲起来！！”
看他着急的样子，已经不是个神了，而像个小丫头。。想起来了，她从宙斯的头里生出来，所以她转世后的发育过程有点不同。需要经过多年的锻炼以及觉醒体内的小宇宙，那个强大的战神才会完全苏醒。。看看她所犯的一系列错误，加上不正常的表现，我知道她需要首先回忆起转世前的所有记忆，而她只完成了一半！
“快点，帮我找个地方躲起来！！”
趁着SD还在范晕时，我一定要做些事情。首先把她解决了，在叫醒SD以商量下一步。。于是，我想起了一个地方。。
“跟我来，上这里去！”我拉着她的手把她带向大海柱，以就是我的浴室。。
行了，她一下子钻了进去，把门反锁了。。
“太谢谢你了叔叔，”从里面传来的声音：“不介意我洗个澡吧！”
“好好，按下墙上的红键。”我说着，只要她保持安静就好，在里面随便干什么都可以。
等我出来了，SD似乎已经清醒过来。我们看着眼前的一堆烂摊子，不知所措。不会就我们俩打扫这一切吧？还是等那几位回来一起清理吧。。
==========================================
6个小时过后，天色晚了，雅典娜还在那里面。边等着他们回来，我一边叫SD去看看雅典娜怎么样了。。
过了疯狂的一天，我真的累了，不再想着什么完成工作找宙斯拿回扣什么的了，我只想就此为止。。不知道SD怎么想。。
没过多就，我发现又来了5个陌生人光速赶来。。当中的3个穿这金光闪闪的圣衣，一个手上拿着弓箭，另外两个样子也很搞笑。。穿青铜圣衣的两个我认出是谁了，就是刀疤脸和他那戴锁链的弟弟。。
“雅典娜不在，改天再来吧。”我又对着弓箭手说，“这里不许打猎！”
“请告诉我她的下落，我们真的找她有急事！！”
嗯。。这声音有点熟。。对对，是刚才那个小个子，不管穿什么衣服都是那么不讲礼貌。。另外两个也认出来了，是紫龙和冰河。。到底搞什么呀！？看他们个个喘着粗气跑了回来，终于理解雅典娜为什么这么紧张了，这堆人估计是火了。。
“那好，告诉我什么事，也许我能帮助什么。。”我说。。
这次，5人异口同声：“在最近的几小时内，全世界到处都发生了地震，大暴雨和暴风！数以百万计的人们被水淹死，世界末日到了！！有人说一定是海底神殿发生什么事了，所以我们来找雅典娜大人！”
“大人，大势不妙!”5人话音未落，SD匆匆赶来，同样喘着粗气。。
顿了几秒，他接着说：“雅典娜在里面毫无反应！于是我从窗户看进去，不是我有意偷看，但是确实发现里面全是水，她已经被淹了！！”
“啊？怎么会这样？如过红键按下去的话，水应该不会。。。。”
“但是我确实看到红键和蓝键同时按了下去！我猜她以为蓝键是关呢！”
哎呀，这下真的麻烦大了！！我忘了跟她讲了，要关水闸只要简单再按下红键就行！还有，如果蓝键按下去了，全世界将会被水淹掉！！之所以有着个功能是为了针对宙斯和哈蒂斯，因为他们也可以瞬间摧毁世界。。本来我们三人自从重新瓜分世界后就保持着力量平衡，可是雅典娜！！她真给我捅娄子了！！！
“大家，我知道为什么了。请跟我来。”我对这5人说：“看见那个高高的建筑物了么，把它炸了，世界就安全了。。”确实，一旦蓝键被按下去后，水将不会停止，除非整个柱子被摧毁。。
老实说，我不想看着这个世界被摧毁。因为我们三兄弟以前签了个合约，一旦世界被毁，三方都有责任负责重建世界。这真是太麻烦了，我才不想搞呢。。比较起来，再建个大海柱就容易多了。。
接下来，一声巨响，就像火星撞地球一样，整个柱子倒下了。。那个小个子从废躯中走出来，当然双手抱着我那不省人事的侄女，另外几个呢，又是击掌，又是太空舞步，又是后空翻的，看来是在庆祝呀。。我站在旁边，一点也不敢冒。。要知道，我的浴室其实不难拆掉，因为以前我干过。。但是在他们眼里，奇迹被创造了，多可笑呀！！
“好了，完事了！把她带回去，这个世界得救了吧？”这回轮到我来干扰他们的庆祝了。。“总之把她带走，我们扯平！现在我要去睡觉了！”
早就计划好了。。就目前来说，也对雅典娜的情况有所了解，我敢肯定她和哈蒂斯之间还打不起来。。所以根本不需要搞什么调停，哈蒂斯不也还拉肚子呢么？
“不要让她们走呀！我们什么都没有得到！！”海龙又冒了出来，边追着他们边说，“大人三四，还有我们的回扣呀！！”
他急了，其实我也急了，只是原因不同而已。。实在看不出来再做下去对自己有什么好处，但是有一件事却是一定要做得---------就是狂欧他一顿！！
这回一切都很顺利，SD 倒下了，三叉戟插进了他的身体，不过他没死。。我没想过要杀他，不过保证他回不来就行了，同样的他请来的那几位也不要回来，最好都已被水淹死！！这样就没人再打绕我睡觉了。。
如果所愿，SD 被带回了地上，从此不愿再见到他们中的任何一个，也不再想听什么新的赚钱计划什么的。。不过呢，相比起来，我还没什么损失，哈蒂斯至今还在和病魔作长期斗争；宙斯更是坐在天上和空气打交道。。再看看我，依然是那个万能的海洋之神，虽然浴室短时间内不能用。。
到此为止吧，我要去做梦了。。我希望所有人，包括侄女雅典娜可以从中得到些教讯：挣钱从来都不容易，只有脚踏实地才行。。如果要挣钱，那么就要努力劳动，遵纪守法！不要轻信陌生人的话，更不要相信什么赚钱捷径，很多东西听起来很吸引人，但其实都是骗局。。
请谨记，你的万能叔叔，波赛东。。

可惜加隆给你整成那样，从未看见过，泪一下
大人英文真棒,佩服至极.很想再看的说.
英语好像更无厘头一点，是先写了英文才翻成中文的?
海皇会放粗口啊，我倒

Bullshit因为这是用第一人称写的，所以，所有的话都算到海皇头上了
不过你看，是用括号括起来的，所以呢，可以理解为注解，也可以理解为心理活动，不算暴粗。。。哈哈哈。。
另外，这个在中文翻译里被我换了。。
嗯。。我换成BS也行。。
不习惯啊.....看来学好外语还真是重要~~倒
