Once Troy reached the gods over the Gulf of Mexico he introduced himself “Hello my fellow gods, I am Troy, God of wind. Who are you and why must you distract the whole city with your fighting?” Zeus and Poseidon busted out laughing at him. “You're no god” poseidon chuckled “oh, I'm god of wind” Zeus mocked. Being treated with such disrespect fueled Troy's rage a lot. “Who are you to judge me based on what I look and and talk like?” Troy's face reddened with anger. “ you look like my grandpa with no shirt.” Troy yelled that Zeus. “And you look like some octopus human thing.” As he ridiculed Poseidon. “None of you look or act like gods to me.
