On a dark and rainy night of long ago, Poseidon, The god of sea was waiting for his friend Anemoi. While he was waiting for Anemoi, who is the Greek god of wind, the thoughts of him and Anemoi were running through his mind like it was swirling going away and coming back…. Finally when Anemoi was there, all the thoughts disappeared like the wind carrying sand in a desert. Poseidon was furious About Anemoi not showing up for forty minutes.
“Where have you been Anemoi? We were supposed to be in the water to go swimming forty minutes ago.” Poseidon was mad
“I’m sorry, Neptune” Anemoi was upset about this
Poseidon was getting very mad that he almost had to drown Anemoi
“DON’T YOU DARE CALL ME BY MY ROMAN NAME CALL ME BY MY GREEK NAME. I CHANGED IT SO I CAN BE LIKE YOU GUYS AND NOT ROMAN LIKE SOME OTHER GODS” Poseidon yelled
“We all have roman names,” said Anemoi trying to calm Poseidon down

Poseidon was so mad that a big wave came up to the mountains quick as light looking like it was going to smash the city down.
“Poseidon you idiot your so mad that your going to have a wave smash us? I say you need to settle down and think this through, you know? I know I called you by your roman name but that’s nothing to be mad about please forgive me or else a big wind storm will roll in with your wave and then we might have a big problem,” Anemoi pleaded.
“I DON’T CARE ABOUT YOU ANEMOI,” said Poseidon
But then he realized that he was going to hurt his best friend that he has known since he was a little kid. The wave came to land. The wave had an opening in it; witch Poseidon and Anemoi called an eye, because it looks like an eye.

They didn’t speak to each other since Anemoi was getting food with the wind, while Poseidon was getting fresh water. Anemoi was goning to get fish but then he saw Poseidon over by the sea and when he tried to talk to Poseidon, Poseidon walked away. This went on for almost two decades.
This fight was annoying the people of Olympus so they decided to send Anemoi to get fish while Poseidon got water.
They met at the sea and just as when Anemoi was goning to leave Poseidon stopped him
“I want to talk to you, Anemoi” Poseidon said
“Fine Talk” Anemoi said
For a while Poseidon had nothing to say but finnaly after all the days and hours he managed to think of something to say.
Durring the days he couldn’t think of anything, the thoughts of him and Anemoi not being friends were circling through his mind like the rotation of something. When he finnaly managed to get something out he said the first thing that came to his mind
“I’m very sorry I acted like a jerk Anemoi can you forgive me?” Poseidon asked
“I guess I can, Poseidon,” Anemoi said
They shook hands and became in peace and never again was that wave ever coming back again
Epilogue

Poseidon and Anemoi weren’t friends in Greek mythology but they are real Greek gods. Poseidon is really the god of sea and Anemoi was the Greek god of wind. And if you combine the wind and water you will get a hurricane.

I saw The Lightning Theif in theaters and saw that Poseidon was the god of sea and I did reasearch on Anemoi and found out he was the god of wind.
