-Noritoshi Kamo-
I felt something stiffling in the air, as if the very world was being commanded to suppress my power. 'Is this a domain expansion?' I thought as my gaze turned towards the caster of such a phenomena. He looked older than me, possibly in his twenties, so why was he participating in the goodwill event? In fact, is he even a student?
"You must have questions right?" asked the man who called himself Thomas. I nodded my head, wondering why having conversations seemed so prevalent among sorcerer battles, besides the vows being made by revealing ones hand.
"Yes, are you a student? You dont seem to be" I said to him as he looked at me gobsmacked. "Seriously, thats the question you ask? Not about my technique?" he looked genually floored. "Well, I can ask about it after if that makes you feel better?" I said and the look on his face was mysterious and then he laughed the loudest laugh ever.
"Your funny for a guy named after the most hated jujutsu sorcerer ever" he said and I could feel the irony in that. "I can see the irony, but my question is being left unanswered" I said to him. "No I'm not a student. Gojo just said I was going to participate so I went along with it" he said and that made me feel like an idiot for reading into it. "Okay" I said in a curtly manner, a guy who I barely know just joined possibly out of boredom while we trained for this, okay.
No, I'm not mad okay, maybe just mildly frustrated.
"So, what is this? Is it your domain expansion?" I asked him. He seemed elated that someone finally asked him about it. "No, but it is something similar" he said and then I was confused. "What do you mean?" I asked him as he looked at me and asked a question. "What do you know about the gods?" he asked me.
'The gods? Is he talking about the Kami of Shinto, the Buddha's?' I thought. He looked at me and I wondered if he was picking up on my confusion. "You seemed confused" he said and I nodded. "I haven't really thought about the gods" I said to him in earnest. He nodded and it seemed like he was going to explain his point.
"When the gods favor a mortal, or mortals, they sometimes might bestow a blessing on them, a fraction of their divine authority which grants certain privileges" he said. "Okay, and how does that relate to your abilities?" I asked him and he looked at me and pointed to the dome around us. " A blessing from the Greek god of the seas, The Earthshaker, Poseidon" he said as the domain seemed to shake with the utterance of the foreign name.
'The gods blessing? Does that mean the gods exist?!' I thought, a thought that seemingly shattered my mind and perception. The gods seemingly exist, and not even divine curses from other parts of Asia, but genuine gods which could shatter the world with just their fingers flicking apart the molecules of air.
I felt fear grip my bones as I readied my blood, using convergence to compress it into a useable form of attack. I felt my body heat up as it was enhanced due to precise technique, red scale, which was similar to blood doping. I fired the convergence in the form of a piercing blood attack which stopped right in front of my target. "Really?" he said as the blood began to bend in ways I was not ordering it too.
"Blood control?" I whispered which seemed to echoe across the domain he set up. "Well, blood is majorly composed of water you know" he said as converged it into a blade which seemed to raidiate a special form of energy as he formed a handsign and said "Lets get this over with". I then began to hear the rhythmic chanting as my body was forcefully made still.
I beseech the god Poseidon as I emulate him
I call forth his rage, his power over the sea
The human greed is sickening, it must be sunk beneath the waves!
Sink oh city, let thy legend be born and reenacted!
-Atlantic Destruction!
Then I was submerged under the waters, overcome by darkness as my body hit the roof of the temple.
-Poseidon-
There are sometimes I think about recreating the almost successful overthrowing of Zeus. I mean okay, somebody stole your symbol of divine power and that's bad, but can you seriously not act more mature than a baby rat, scratch that, a baby rat is more mature than your peanut sized brain.
"Hello Poseidon" greeted the only person in Olympus incapable of being hated, my eldest and youngest sibling, Hestia. She was the tender of Olympus hearth and the hearths of homes everywhere. "Hey Hestia" I greeted calmly, as who could disrespect something so homey, so vital to ones continued living.
I sat on my divine throne which looked something akin to a fishing chair, with the cupholders and such full of different fishing gear, and a pocket somewhere that was hiding beef jerky. "You feel different today" said Hestia Off handedly that it made me wonder why. "How so?" I asked her as she looked over, her eyes alight with a small, homely flame that was reminiscient of a fireplace. Her look was one of modesty, her shawl clung tightly to her face.
"You have something clinging to you, an otherworldly feel" said Hestia as if she was gleaming the true nature of things just from sight alone. "Its just from a bar I regularly visit when I have time, I should take you there" I said to her as she smiled, and then the scent of grapes and the distinctive cheetah print shirt made its presence known next to me.
"What's this about a bar?" asked Dionysus, my nephew born from one of Zeus's various flings which ended under Hera's cunning trickery. Even if she tried to hide it, we all knew it was her in that old lady disguise who killed Semeli. Having Zeus showing his true form to that woman was just vengeful at that point, something on point for her.
"A special bar I go to in Olympus" I said and he looked confused. "Was one built here while I was gone? Even then I would have known when I came up here" he said with a mysterious tone before he said "Well I can't go, I'm banned from wine". It was something he lamented as a god of festivities, his only comforts a diet coke.
"You can still go, the owner there does serve soda" I said to him as he seemed to deflate even more. "Alright, I'm accompanying you and Hestia to the bar once this is over" said Dionysus as he went to his throne. Hestia stood by my side, still analyzing me but eventually shrugged and went back to the eternal hearth and began poking at the hot coals as fragrant smells filled the air, the smell of sacrifices.
I sat upon my throne, watching the other god begin to fill in their seats. Athena sat calmly, Ares always seemed to stew on something, Aphrodite was doing her makeup, Artemis and Apollo were bickering about something useless, and Hera was sitting like a preened peacock under the sun. Though her face and inner emotion caused a confliction among those who knew her. I sometimes wondered if she tries to stab Zeus in his sleep considering how much he flounders around on her. I swear Thalia was not the only bastard.
"Ah, everybody is here" said the douchebag himself. He was dressed in his classic suit, a Kyma if I remembered right. His black hair with a streak of grey running through and his happy demeanor seemingly made him look innocent and sane, yet he was far from the truth. Gods forbid I mention his name, his attitude resembles Kronos on some level. Hades seemed to be here as well, stewing in his own misery which I could understand on some level.
"Yes Zeus, everybody is ready for this 'riveting' meeting" said Hermes with a subtle not so subtle sarcasm which even Zeus sensed, indicated by his twitching brow. I swear the ozone seemed to increase for some reason. 'Hermes, don't agitate him' I directed towards Hermes who only smiled.
"Yes lets get this going, I have a boutique I need to see" said Aphrodite as she was applying her makeup. I still wondered how Zeus hasn't turned her into a puddle. Must be Eros I guess. It was then I felt that pull, a pull that was familiar as if I was utilizing my authority to control the seas. I traced the connection and was able to see through the eyes of my most recent patron. I had a small smile that only Hestia seemingly noticed, and this meeting just got a whole lot better.
[A/N: I looked up Greek suit brands for this. I hope you liked the Pov switch, I had fun writing this one and I have some new ideas for new characters to appear, like Naruto or maybe Harry Potter? But anyhow, have fun guys!
Before I forget, I thanke TheLoneSwordsman for the idea of gods feeling someone using their blessing! Thank you so much!]
