For Omega's first try at mist traveling through space, he thought he did pretty well. He studied the planet on the map and focused on the spot above the water terrain so he could just fall in the water. He didn't want to try and mist travel near the surface in case he found himself tumbling down a mountain or landing in a burning field of lava. He would prefer neither of those.

When he opened his eyes after mist traveling, he found himself about 300 feet above the ocean, quickly descending to the vast waters. As he was falling, he looked around to see if anything stood out. Omega could tell it was around mid-morning which gave him plenty of light to see two small blotches of land along the horizon, one north and the other southeast judging by the suns' position. The ocean below him was between a dark and light blue color with the suns shining on it adding a shimmering quality to it. He flipped around in the air to look at the sky and deep space. He assumed the atmosphere on this planet was different because the sky was black instead of blue with bright stars spaced out across the pitch black sky even though it was day. There was a dark yellow sun right next to a light yellow one heating up the planet just right, both standing out from the dark sky.

He flipped back around to see he was only 50 feet above the water and two seconds later, he got into a swimmer's dive position before breaking the surface. His momentum took him about 30 feet under the water until he pulled up, stopping his descent into the dark depths. Omega looked around to see if he could find any marine life but wasn't too surprised that there wasn't any. This far out in the ocean would hold life that prefers colder, deeper waters than the warmer surface water. He then stretched out his senses to see if he could at least feel if there was any marine life and was relieved to feel some type of moving organism about 3 miles down. He would have to explore the dark depths later.

He swam back up to the surface and froze an ice surface for him to stand on and look for one of the islands he saw. After climbing up and seeing one, he mist traveled over to it. He landed on the white, sandy beaches of the island. There were a few trees that resembled palm trees but had the leaves branching out all along the trunk instead of just at the top. They also had an orange fruit that didn't look half bad. But he knew not to eat mysterious foods from another planet. There was no telling what it could do!

After exploring the island, he didn't find anything noteworthy other than a few crustaceans at the water's edge. He laughed when he saw some of the crabs because they looked exactly like Sebastian from The Little Mermaid, one of his top 3 movies. He looked back towards the horizon but didn't see any other land mass. Omega frowned hoping he didn't land in the middle of the ocean territory because it would take forever to get to one of the other terrains. He just shook his head and starting mist traveling in one direction. He would pass a few islands every once in a while and would use them as a pit stop. Omega had never had to do so much mist traveling before so it wore him out. The most pressing reason as to why he would stop was because his body felt like it was getting lighter. He assumed that turning his body into mist, back into a body, and mist again right after solidifying left his body a little confused on whether it should be solid or gaseous. Luckily, it was morning judging back the position of the suns so he had plenty of time to rest.

It was afternoon when he finally saw a large stretch of land along the horizon. It wasn't mountainous so it could either be the grasslands or the lava field. He guessed the grasslands since there wasn't any orange glow radiating off the land. He mist traveled onto the land and it turned out to be the grasslands. Even though he read that there were vast areas of grasslands, he was still surprised that it was just as vast as the ocean. He looked around and couldn't see any trees on the horizon but he could see moving shapes a couple of miles inland.

Since he came here to train, he decided that he shouldn't be lazy and mist travel everywhere so he jogged over to the blotches to see what they were. 30 minutes later, he finally got close enough to see what animals were grazing on the land. Omega would have to say that the closest thing they resembled were bulls with a cow's body. The head had 4 horns sticking out at all angles and its face was stocky just like a bulls. It had a strong neck leading down to a cow's body. There was even an udder under its body just located more towards the front than back in between its hind legs. Its whip like tail had 5 inch hairs on the end but Omega could tell that it wasn't hair when it glinted in the sunlight. They were spikes! Omega just shook his head and walked towards it to see if it would get aggressive. Omega had faced worse than a cow with a spiked tail.

As he made his way towards it, the bull/cow hybrid slowly raised his head assessing Omega. Omega just calmly and slowly walked towards the ... he's just going to call it a bullow ... and carefully extended a hand stopping a foot away from it. Omega had no idea if the thing had teeth or not and he would prefer not to find out in the wrong way. The bullow slowly clopped his way over to Omega and assessed him again for any possible danger. Omega held still while it felt extremely weird to be judged by the animal and wondered if it had increased intelligence or something. He wouldn't be surprised with how it's looking at him. After seeing the bullow's eyes apparently approve of him, Omega slowly extended his hand all the way and petted the bullow on his cheekbone. He started to scratch it as it calmed down after being touched probably for the first time. Soon, it starting to make a purring sound just like a cat and he brought up his other hand to scratch both cheeks.

After petting the bullow for about 10 minutes while also looking around the surrounding area, he started jogging off to the east towards the tree line. The trees reminded him of a mix between cypress trees with their larger bottom and pine trees with their bark and needles. They even had pine cones on them that looked exactly the same as Earth pine cones. Omega jogged through the forest for the rest of the day and set up camp for the night. He hardened the water vapor around him to make a tent and had a quick meal before falling asleep.

He woke up at the crack of dawn with the sun shining through the tops of the trees and the ice tent magnifying the rays of sunshine right into his eyes. He got up grumbling, summoned a quick meal and stretched his sore muscles before continuing on his journey to hopefully come across another terrain. It took about 5 hours of jogging, walking, and breaks to finally see some mountains up ahead and a soft orange glow to the right of them of them. It took another 45 minutes for him to finally reach the crossroads of the different terrains.

The map wasn't kidding when it showed them split with 4 distinct terrains. There was literally a line going off in each direction separating the sections. The grasslands just stopped and sunk down into the dark depths of the ocean on one side and the other instantly started to incline to form a very steep mountain. Then, the mountain had a very steep decline going towards the lava field and right where the line was it instantly turned into molten rock. Omega didn't know how that was even possible but he decided not to really think too hard about it because he probably wouldn't be able to explain it.

Omega stood at the center of all four terrains and sat down where different parts of his body was in the separate terrains. It was a very unique experience. He could feel the soothing heat sinking into his body on his left, back side, cool sea breeze on his right, back side, the smell of freshly cut grass on his right, front side, and a rocky, dirt smell on his left, front side. Omega sat there for thirty minutes just enjoying the feeling while also thinking about his next step. He came here to train so he needed to get started right away and come up with some plans.

He first thought about the three basic needs of survival: food, water, and shelter. He had the food part covered thanks to his mother and he could even kill some bullows to see if they would taste like cow or not. Water was easy because he could simply liquefy the water vapor around him or drink the water from the ocean since the salt wouldn't affect him. The shelter part was the only one that he had to actually think about. He decided that he wanted to build a wood house in the lava terrain then coat it in a thin layer of ice to keep the wood from burning. It would also serve as a training exercise since he would always have to focus to keep the ice from melting lest he lose the house. In addition, he wouldn't have to worry about temperature problems because the lava outside provided plenty of heat and he could freeze some ice inside the house to make it a perfect temperature.

Next, he thought about his training regime. In the ocean terrain, he would meditate on an island and clear his mind to be able to focus. He would stretch his limits by lifting as much as the ocean's water as he could and also as high as he could. It started out that he could lift water about half a mile long, 200 feet down at least 10 feet high and keep it there for about a minute. After 4 years of practice, he could focus and lift the water a mile long, 800 feet down at least 40 feet high for about an hour while also preventing the water around the area from filling in the hole.

In the grasslands terrain, he practiced on focusing on the water vapor in the air and water in the grass and ground. He also practiced his flame powers here. He would focus the fire around the grass without the fire actually burning the grass. At the end of 4 years, he could feel the water vapor for miles on end and could thicken it without it being noticeable so he could tell where everything was without his eyes. He could also focus the fire around each blade of grass without it burning for about 100 feet and coat water around each individual blade of glass for about 200 feet in about a minute.

The mountainous terrain was used to enhance his physical capabilities and his power over earthquakes. Every day, he would jog up and down the steep mountain paths while also creating many small fractures with his earthquakes stretching them out as far as he could. After four years he was able to make a whole mountain crumble with his earthquakes and could concentrate on an area and shake the ground creating a tremor and a deep fracture if he wanted to. It would instantly make his opponent lose balance and almost guaranteed for them to fall down.

The lava terrain was used as his breathing and water manipulation area. Since there was so little water vapor in the air, he had to concentrate twice as hard to form a shape and hold it. He was glad for Hestia's blessing because the dry air would have made it hard to breathe which would have been a challenge all on its own. After 4 years, he could quickly gather water in the air and make a water horse run across the lava fields without evaporating while still keeping the ice on his house from melting. After a while, he turned his water horse into a unicorn and worked on his details. He could definitely become an ice sculptor if he needed money.

He also practiced his other skills and abilities. He could create exquisite home cooked meals that tasted like heaven on a plate. Omega quickly got spoiled on his meals and didn't eat any more than the one bullow he killed. He claimed he wanted to save the animals but he knew he just loved his own meals so much that he didn't want anything else. He also did his own weapons training with his two swords and knives. If it was even possible, Omega improved with his sword skills and he could hit a target 60 feet away with a throwing knife dead center while also running and jumping. He may have also killed a few bullows that way by scaring them so he could have a moving target ... it may have contradicted with his earlier belief.

All in all, he enjoyed his life of solitude. It allowed him to think over his past experiences and come to peace about certain events. All his life, he never spent time to just sit down and think about all the events that have occurred ever since he became a demigod. Since the beginning, he was constantly completing quest after quest leading up to the titan war. After that, he was constantly busy rebuilding and getting everything in order. Then, he was kidnapped and had his memory stolen. After he finally got his memory back, he basically had to lead everybody through the giant war and defeat Gaea herself! And after that, he had to once again rebuild the camps and, this time, unite them and keep them in order. And when it finally looked like it was going to calm down and he could have a normal life for at least a couple months, everybody in camp turned against him and pretty much kicked him out of camp ... He was extremely lucky to have Hestia adopt him because there would be no telling where he would be today without her. After the four years and a few natural disasters caused by Omega's emotions, he was at peace with his past and had complete control over his emotions. He could chose to show what emotions he wanted others to see without them being any the wiser.

One question that was always on Omega's mind when he first arrived on Zaref was why there wasn't any people living on the planet when it was pretty much paradise. He could see some remains of small huts like someone tried to settle but left without completing the project. He could tell it must have been a long time ago because the ruins were completely weathered leaving only bits and pieces behind. However, after a month, Omega found out why.

He was in the grasslands concentrating on the water around him when the wind started to pick up. He took it as just a gust of wind in the beginning but it never slowed down. It actually did the opposite. Now, most people would open their eyes and look around but Omega decided this would be a good time to test what he had learned.

He solidified the water vapor around him and let it get carried by the wind. He started to notice a swirling, circular pattern and it clicked as to what was about to happen. Next thing he knew, six gigantic tornadoes touched the ground around him. He quickly mist traveled out of the grasslands before anything could hit him or pick him up off the ground. He watched from the ocean terrain in awe at the amount of tornadoes in the grasslands. There had to be at least 50 cyclones gliding over the land. Omega wondered why there weren't any animals on the pasture in the morning but now he could tell that the animals must have sensed the tornadoes coming and went to a safe area. The tornadoes traveled around the entire grasslands the rest of the afternoon and let up at sunset.

The next morning Omega postponed the morning training session and went to check out the damage. He was dumbstruck that he couldn't even tell hundreds of tornadoes just came through. Only a few leaves and needles could be found around the area and the trees looked the exact same as the day before. He stretched out his senses to the water in the tree roots and it made sense how the trees weren't uprooted. The tree had both thick fibrous roots and a gigantic taproot.

After a year, another disaster occurred. At least, it would have been if he wasn't a former son of Poseidon. He was on one of the islands meditating when he sensed the waves starting to get restless. He stretched his senses far out and saw a tsunami coming, consuming all the islands in its path. Omega liked his island and assigned himself another challenge: protect his island. He created a water dome around the half a mile long island and solidified it. He got into his most solid stance and waited for the true test to come. Once the tsunami came, it took a lot of effort for him to hold up the dome with the pounding strength of the tsunami beating on it and trying to break through. After 2 minutes of the constant barrage of attacks, the tsunami finally passed the island and headed off into the horizon.

After another year, which Omega was starting to see a pattern, he was in the mountainous terrain walking along the edge of the only volcano in this terrain. It was at the edge of the mountainous terrain so the lava could run down the right side into the lava terrain. He could feel the heat coming off the lava pooled inside and it filled him up with warmth, reminding him of Hestia's hug. He really did miss her and wished he could go visit her but he had a job to do and Omega knew she wouldn't want him to stop just to visit her. He knew he would see her again one day since they were both immortal, he just had to be patient and look forward to their reunion. He was broken out of his thoughts when he could feel a slight tremor off in the distance. He just shrugged and shook it off as probably an aftershock of one of his earthquakes.

After about a minute, the shaking became more violent and it started to shake the volcano. Omega knew he should probably mist out just to be safe but he was knocked back to his senses when a tremendous tremor coursed through the volcano knocking him inside. He tried to mist travel out or gather water around him but he was too close to the lava and there was no water in the air. He knew fire didn't affect him but he didn't know if lava would harm him or not with Hestia's blessing. He didn't want to find out.

Omega's life flashed before his eyes and he felt guilty that he wouldn't be able to fulfill his father's wishes. 'Wait!' Omega thought. He swore to his father that he would become the savior of the people and that was what he planned to do no matter what the cost.

He steeled himself for the pain he was about to feel but not because of the lava getting closer and closer. He concentrated on the water inside him and he pulled the water up to stop his descent ... Pain ... That was all he felt as he lifted himself back out of the volcano onto the ground below where he mist traveled to the ocean.

He sat 10 feet underwater panting while the cool ocean water helped soothe his nerves and heal his aching body. Now he knew what it really felt like to be controlled like that and he definitely would only use it on people who deserved it. It felt like his innards were being twisted and smashed together while his skin was being ripped apart. He guessed the sweat glands in his body pushing up was what made his skin feel like that and the water pressed against his innards would make them feel mushed together. All in all, it wasn't a pleasurable experience and he would prefer not to have to do that again. Once he felt better, he mist traveled over to the lava terrain and tested how lava proof he was.

The last disaster he encountered before leaving the planet happened in the lava terrain where a flash flood of lava occurred burning anything it touched. Luckily his house was higher up than the lava level so his house wasn't burned. However, he did have to focus twice as hard to prevent the ice from melting.

After 4 years on Zaref, Omega was the personification of power. He never felt stronger after the arduous years of training and practicing. All he had to do was will his powers to action and they would obey him flawlessly. His physical body also improved and he had to give himself props on how good he looked. He still had a swimmers body but he was definitely more toned than before and he definitely had more muscle mass.

He mist traveled back to his house to gather up his few belongings. He brought out his map and started looking over the different planets to see which one he wanted to visit first. He was officially going to start looking for the evil lords who abuse their power and cause harm to the people. He would first target the planets with overlords on them and get rid of them in a stealthy manner. After however long that took, he would then work on getting the deficient rulers to step down or help someone who would be an exceptional ruler gain support. He needed to first listen to the rumor mill to find out where those people were and then the fun would begin.

Hey Guys! I hope you're liking the story so far and if you have any comments or questions feel free to ask away.

Bad News: My college exams are coming up so I will be studying extra hard for the next week and a half. Accordingly, my writing speed will slow down and I may actually not be able to post. Hopefully it won't come to that and I will try to get a chapter or two in but no promises.

Once again, thanks for reading and I'll talk to ya next chapter!
