["He threatened to kill them! He threatened to kill our children!"
So that's it, then. When Adranus couldn't get what he wanted, be it Megami himself or Megami to fear him enough to agree to his demands, he resorted to targeting something that would make him comply...knowing full and well that threatening to do harm to Poseidon- another god of equal power- would have been something of a death wish for a god of fire.
All Poseidon can think about are his sons...no, their sons. Their six little twin mers sleeping sounding on a clamshell together, even at their age. He thinks about how they'd been visiting the island on their own to come see Megami, and it forces him to think about Adranus killing them the moment they came to shore, watching the water for them.
It makes him feel incredibly ill. In fact, it nearly drains all of the fight right out of him, thinking about anything happening to them.
Nearly. But it's not enough to dampen the growing amount of rage building in the god, a rage so powerful that even inside this little cave the waves can be heard roaring as they crash up against the sides of Megami's island. Even creatures beneath the surface will be feeling it, probably wondering why the sea is so treacherous this morning.]
No. ...No. I will not let that happen. He will not touch one single hair on their heads.
He will have to go through me first.
[He blinks, tears finally escaping and rolling down his cheeks as he grinds that out through gritted teeth.]
