    Poseidon rushed through the hospital, trying to find Tamara. He heard a baby's wail and a nurse saying, "Tamara, you did it! She's a healthy baby girl! What's her name?" He opened the door just as Tamara said, "Aria. Her name is Aria Kaia Doxon."

    Poseidon looked at the baby girl and could feel the power pulsing through her. He frowned. She was almost like a lesser minor goddess than a demigod. He feared that her power was too great and monsters would kill her in a day's time. Her power would only grow, so he came up with a...reasonable plan to protect her. He had to take her to his sea palace and raise and train her there. It was the only way to keep her safe.

    "Tamara," He grunted out, nervously. "I'm sorry, but...her power...it's too great...too powerful. I have to take her to my sea palace, and train her to defend herself."

    Tamara's eyes watered. "What, but...I just gave birth to her and you're just going to take her away?!" She cried, and Poseidon sighed.

    "Look, Tamara, it's for her safety. It's the only way she'll be able to live safely. You knew that there's a chance she wouldn't live that long if you didn't take certain precautions." He said, but she and the baby kept crying.

   "I didn't know it involved never seeing her grow up! Seeing her first steps! Her first words! I'd miss it all!" She wailed, and he had to adjust the mist to make sure that the nurses didn't see or hear anything other than a mother admiring her newborn baby. 

    "But would you rather her be dead?!" He snapped, and she fell silent.

   "Take her. Just whatever you do, don't let anything hurt her. If anything harms her at all, god or not, I'm going to make you wish you were dead." Tamara said, handing over her baby hesitantly.

    With a snap of his fingers, the nurses and Tamara had no clue of an 'Aria Kaia Doxon', and Tamara was perfectly fine. Tamara had no memory of having a daughter, and she went on with her life, her and all the people close to her minds filled with false memories. Poseidon went back to Olympus with his daughter in his arms.

    "Poseidon? What are you doing here?" Athena snapped, not wanting to see one of the people she hates the most.

    "Oh, just wondering what to do with this young lass." He said, gesturing to the baby in his arms.

    "Poor thing..." She said, gazing at the baby.

    "Yeah, being separated from her mom's gotta be tough." He said, rocking the baby, hoping she'll stop her crying.

    "No, not that. Having you as a father!" Athena said, taking the baby from him.

    She gazed at the baby girl, and instantly fell in love. She gave her blessing of wisdom. "Now, she'll win every battle with brilliant strategy." She smiled as the baby looked at her wide eyed.

    "Athena! That battle of the death thing from that place that's named after bread is on Hephaestus TV! Wanna who lives the longest?" Ares yelled, brutally. Athena's eyes lit up.

    "He always says the brawns wins over brains, and in these games he's mainly right, but most of the time the brawns use brains to win and they do." Athena whispered to the baby girl, as she walked to where the games were playing. "It's just like the old days, but they don't do it to honor us."

She walked in to see Ares yelling at the TV. "KILL THEM! KILL THEM! KILL THEM! NO THAT'S THE OPPOSITE! NO! NO! NO! YOU WEAKLING!" He screamed and Athena covered Aria's ears so she didn't have to hear the brute's yelling.

    "Ares! You're going to disturb the baby!" She snapped, and Ares looked up at her, shocked.

    "Baby?! Please tell me it's not yours! I can't live if there's a tiny you running around here!" He prayed, clenching his eyes shut, and she rolled her eyes.
