"The Deep Claim" [Part 1] Poseidon's Legacy - An Infinity Kingdom Story

🔷 Introduction

Welcome to part one of my Poseidon series. A fabled immortal with a long-standing history both in and out of Infinity Kingdom. I will be diving into his story, softly based in Greek lore but also mixed with the famous Norheim. Showing how he interacts within both spaces. 

🔷 Part 1:  "The Deep Claim"

Poseidon wasn’t born a sea god. That’s a lie the bards tell because it sounds clean. The truth is, when the Titans fell and the world cracked open, the gods divided the spoils. Zeus took the sky. Hades got the underworld. And Poseidon was left staring at the ocean like it was a punishment.

No one wanted the sea. It was chaos. It shifted. It swallowed whole cities and then sat still like nothing happened. It couldn’t be reasoned with. Couldn’t be trusted. That’s why it was offered last, like some wild animal no one wanted to tame.

Poseidon didn’t argue. He just walked straight into the waves.

At first, the sea fought him. Storms rose out of nowhere. Creatures from the trenches hunted him. The water itself pulled at him, trying to break him apart molecule by molecule. But Poseidon didn’t run. He dove deeper. He let it try. And when it didn’t kill him, he made it a deal.

He would stop trying to rule it like a god and start becoming part of it.

Poseidon didn’t claim the sea by force. He earned it by surviving inside it. He slept in the belly of a whale for a week just to feel the rhythm of the deep. He learned to move with the current instead of against it. He studied the tides, the patterns, the storms, and the silences. The sea was alive, and he stopped treating it like a thing to conquer.

When he returned to land, soaked and silent, the other gods stared. They thought he’d drowned or gone mad. But the sea followed him. It rose behind him like a shadow. It didn’t crash. It waited.

That’s when they knew. It had accepted him.

He didn’t need a crown. Didn’t need a ceremony. The trident wasn’t forged for him. He made it himself out of deep coral and lightning, shaped in the crush of ocean pressure. It wasn’t a symbol. It was a tool. A key.

Poseidon didn’t become the god of the sea because someone handed it to him. He became it because he gave himself to it first. He understood its moods, its rage, and its calm. He didn’t fear its depth. He respected it.

Now people call him the Earthshaker. Stormbringer. They picture a roaring god with waves crashing at his feet.

But that’s only part of it.

The real Poseidon is quiet sometimes. Still. Watching the horizon. Because he knows the sea isn’t just power. It's a memory. It’s weight. It’s every sunken ship and drowned secret that never made it home.

And he holds all of it.

📄 Recap Questions

How did Poseidon earn control over the sea, and why was it originally seen as a burden rather than a prize?

What does Poseidon's relationship with the ocean reveal about his character and his approach to power compared to the other gods?

🔷 Conclusion

Poseidon wasn't given the sea out of honor but because no one else wanted its chaos. By surrendering to its depths and learning its rhythm, he earned its respect and became the true god of the ocean.

See you next week!
