PEANUT BUTTER!
We were at the edge of the ocean shore, and it was beautiful. The sun was a few hours from setting, and it was calm with a bit of sea breeze."Tyson awaits. I con't breathe underwater, and drowning hurts. So does the pressure under there, so you're on your own." Apollo said, and he gave me a shove towards the water. I stumbled towards the water, then caught my balance and waded into the water.
It took about half an hour to reach Poseidon's palace, and I was almost immediately showed to the forge after I asked directions from a friendly merman. As soon as I swam into the hallway and the water was drained so the room would stay dry, Tyson ran for me. He wrapped me in a bear hug that would have crushed a bulldozer.
"Hello, brother!" He said as he let go. He examined me for a moment, "Brother looks different. Is brother okay?" I nodded. No need to scare the big guy, and at least he didn't think I was dead. But then again he was there when I accepted immortality.
"You are a god, brother. Yes?" I winced at that word but I nodded. He was about to say something when I heard a horn blow. Tyson ran back to the forge and grabbed his trusty stick and ran for the door yelling "Peanut butter!" I stifled a laugh, then remembered it was his battle cry. I raced out to help.
Honestly I can hardly remember what happened. I think I died a few times, got fatally injured, but healed right away, and yelled peanut butter. I don't even know who was attacking, all I knew was 'don't kill the Cyclopes. I said goodbye to Tyson as seriously as I could, but his big brown eye wouldn't let me. I hugged him and swam back to the shore where Apollo was skipping stones.
"Umm, you have a few arrows in your chest." He warned as he stood up. I ducked under the water and yanked them out. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would, honestly. I emerged again and Apollo asked,
"What exactly happened?" So I explained the battle and Tyson and he laughed at the battle cry.
"Well I'm glad you had fun, because we're going back to Olympus." He said and put a hand on my arm. I took in one last breath of salty sea air.
