Once upon a time there lived a boy named Eren. He was 

just your average boy. He lived in the village of Four Arms 

where everybody had four arms and very special swords.

Eren was playing a game of hoop ball when 

somebody accidentally threw the ball at the Three 

Gods and Stone Dog statue and broke it. Within 

seconds, a huge storm hit and then the pieces of 

the statue were hit by lightening. The pieces were 

instantly reformed into the Stone Dog. Next it 

caught on fire and immediately attacked a citizen and 

killed him. Without thinking, Eren grabbed his swords 

and cut the dog in half - straight through the lightening 

symbol on the dog's back. It died instantly and turned into 

rubble. 

Eren gathered his things and attended a three hour long 

funeral for the man who had been killed. When it was 

finished, Eren told the village what he planned to do next.

"I am going to kill the gods!" said Eren. He walked through 

the city gates, closing them behind him and started on his 

way. He didn't look back; he gazed straight down the road 

he was to travel, deep in thought. He knew the first god he 

needed to kill lived in the Land of Valor.

He traveled from the Land of Hills to the Land of the Giant 

Trees, which some called the Land of Pines because 

beautiful, giant trees grew there. While on his way, he met 

a traveler. Eren asked, "Coming from the Land of Valor?"

"No," replied the man, "I am coming from the Land of 

Pines, which is my homeland." The traveler continued, 

"There is a shop up ahead. If you guess the shopkeepers 

name, which is X, he will give you three free items."

Eren told the man all about what the gods had done in 

his village and why he was on a quest to kill them. Eren 

asked the traveler, "Would you like to join me on my quest 

to kill the gods and gain unlimited cun and fame?"

The traveler replied, "Will there be blood?"

Eren responded, "Plenty."

"How can you possibly kill the gods?" asked the traveler.

Eren answered, "By using my blades of course! Didn't you 

see the glowing red, blue and yellow lights? One blade was 

made especially for killing Poseidon. The red glowing one 

was made especially for destroying Hades. And these two 

daggers were made to demolish Zeus!"

"How are you going to get past Poseidon's guards? No 

human

has ever made it without losing a limb or two, and those 

are the lucky ones. The unlucky ones are fed to the 

sharks," said the traveler.

Eren replied, "Come with me, and you will see. No one 

will be losing any limbs today or ever again. Those 

guards will die at my hand. Let's hurry along. It is 

almost night time and we must get our supplies."

The two traveled until they came to the shop. The 

shopkeeper came from a back room. He was a very tall 

man with dark, piercing eyes. The shopkeeper did not 

say a word. 

Eren spoke first. "I have come for the three free items 

that my friend here told me about."

The man said, "Well then, what is my name? No one has ever 

gotten it right, and I plan to keep it that way. If you don't get it 

right, you owe me three times my normal price. Do you want to 

give it a try?"

"Yes!" said Eren. "Your name is X!"

"What?!? HOW did you know my name?" replied the shopkeeper.

"It was a lucky guess," replied Eren.

"What three items would you like?" asked the shopkeeper, 

secretly hoping he would choose the least expensive things in the 

store.

Eren responded, "I will take that bag over there, a map of the 

Lands of Valor, Courage and Destiny, as well as the food supply 

and 

water potion pack."

"Okay. Don't go getting yourself killed. The others who have 

chosen those exact items said they were going to kill the gods and 

they were never seen again," warned the shopkeeper.

"Don't worry about me," said Eren and he left with the traveler.

They traveled a short distance, killed a couple of wolves along 

the way, ate the meat and made clothes out of the pelts. They 

finally made it to the ferry that would bring them to the Land of 

Valor. Eren slept the entire journey, which was three days. He 

knew he would need his strength when he arrived. 

When Eren awoke, he saw a huge ocean with a small island in the 

distance. A very big pathway led from the shore of the island to 

what appeared to be the other side.

Once the ferry reached the shore, Eren and the traveler stepped 

off. The ferry seemed to leave just as soon as their feet touched 

the shore. Someone from the ferry threw a bottle to them. It 

contained a note. The note was a map of the island. They walked 

down the path that led to the other side of the island. When they 

finally reached the other side, they realized that it was a cliff made 

of sand. Eren found a small shell and crushed it. He thought this 

might offend Poseidon and draw him out from hiding.

A huge castle made out of every imaginable kind of shell rose from 

the ocean. Eren saw two "men" that had the arms of a man, the 

body of a shark, the legs of a sea turtle and hands like suction 

cups.

Eren walked up to them and they said, "No one may pass unless 

they kill us or answer our riddle. The riddle is this: How many fish 

does it take to kill one shark?"

Eren answered, "It takes 15, because that is the amount a shark 

eats in one day."

"You are correct. Enter, if you dare," said the "men."

Eren wandered through the castle until he reached the throne 

room. Once he walked in, a huge man with the feet of a lizard, the 

upper body of a man and the arms of a fish swung one of his 

massive arms at Eren. Even though the blow was 10 feet away, it 

almost knocked him over. Eren realized he was face to face with 

Poseidon.

Using his massive trident, Poseidon summoned a massive water 

vortex that knocked Eren to the wall. Massive sea urchin needles 

shot out of the trident, one narrowly missed Eren's head. Eren 

quickly grabbed one out of the wall, ran towards Poseidon, and 

threw it at his foot, pinning him where he stood. When Poseidon 

tried to take a step forward, Poseidon fell face first. Eren knew this 

was his only chance.

Eren ran over as quickly as he could. He asked the traveler to 

grab two daggers. The traveler did as he was asked. Eren told him 

to run to Poseidon and cut his arms off while Eren gave him a 

finishing blow to the neck.

That was the end of Poseidon. Eren had killed his first. He said, 

"One down, two to go."
