"Who might you be?" Asked timaeus, the boy got closer and replied "my name is espart, proud captain of the argos!". "Argos? I thought that ship has been dismantled while the Argonauts disbanded 150 years ago" said Timaeus, he looks at espart closely and judging by the boys appearance: the way his outfit resembles a Phoenician sailor. "What are you eyeing on me for!?" Yelled espart "are you from byblos? Also, I felt some energy coming from you" said Timaeus, the boy nodded as a response. "Yes I am from byblos. I may look young, but I'm actually a host of a piece of oceanus's soul.... more specifically, his knowledge and his tenacity!" Said espart as he grinned, Timaeus was surprised to hear that this boy is an immortal host of the piece of the titans soul. Both Timaeus and espart talked to each other, espart reveals that there's another temple dedicated to oceanus: the other temple is located underground near the promised land of eus.

The main purpose of those temples is to let the humans know that oceanus is not forgotten even if his soul has been split into three, however, the one on cypress (here) is used as a hideout for espart for him to store his treasures. "So, you used this temple as a means to store these treasures?" Questioned Timaeus "yes, but not out of greed but as dedication for oceanus!" Replied espart as he lift one treasure chest and moved it out of the way. They left the temple and walked towards the shore, Timaeus saw what looks like the legendary ship the Argos "is that the argos!?" Yelled Timaeus in a surprised tone. "You can board it if you want" said espart "I can, but I don't want to ditch phorcys. He said he's coming back tomorrow, so I'll have to wait!" Replied Timaeus. "Phorcys? You mean that ancient sea god who is the son of pontus, one of the protogenoi?" Asked one of the sailors, he nodded as he sat down on the ground. "Very well, we might have to make camp here so we can meet the ancient sea god to prove that this man is right!" Said espart before he started to order his crew to bring tents and wood to make campfire, one of his crewmembers brought a crate full of freshly caught oysters "where did you get all the seafood and fire wood?" Asked timaeus "not only do we travel by the seas, but we are also merchants" replied espart.

Later at night

The crew of the Argos are finished eating their fill of seafood but started to feel tired, suddenly, they saw ripples and bubbles on the sea.

"Is that a shark?" Asked one crew member.

"Nah, it could be a large fish swimming along!" Replied the other crew member.

"What is going on?" Asked espart as he drew out his sabre.

"Captain! We see some strange ripples going around the shoreline!" Replied the crew member.

Timaeus grabbed both his mace and a torch and got closer to the waters, a finned hand try to grab him by the ankle but he quickly took a step back. Then humanoid sea monsters popped out of the water and are armed with tridents, this took some of the members of the crew by surprise but espart was ready. "Everyone, be ready as men of the sea or die as cowards!" Commanded espart as he raised his sabre, all the crew roared as they readied their spears, swords, and shields while Timaeus already killed one sea monster.

As the crew fought the creatures, they stopped when the sea monsters run out into the sea "What are they?" Asked timaeus "these sea monsters are sent by none other than Poseidon, because he is angry at me due to having a piece of oceanus's soul. When you are born with a piece of the titans soul, not only will you be immortal but you are forever hated by Poseidon and other sea gods except for the ancient sea gods who predate the titans" explained espart. Timaeus nodded as he yawned "time for me to sleep" he said, espart tells him to go to one of the tents there while he and his men take turns to keep watch for more sea monster attacks.

At morning

Timaeus and some of the crew members yawned as they got out of their tents, and espart stood at the shoreline staring at the sea. "Look!" Yelled one crew member as he points at a strange shape out in the horizon coming straight towards the island "another monster?" Asked espart, as the shape gets closer and closer, it also got bigger. Timaeus immediately recognized that it wasn't a monster but phorcys, the god and personification of marine life and the dangers of the sea "it's phorcys! Don't attack him!" Called Timaeus, the crew lowered their weapons as the ancient sea god surfaces. All them are astonished at the sight of the sea god, espart felt honored at the presence of a god who existed before the titans than Poseidon and other sea gods. Timaeus got on phorcys back and said "I'm going to byblos to the air taphus, I've got this feeling that general agon is targeting it" the ancient sea god started to swim but espart called "perhaps we'll meet again at byblos!".
