Hi! It's the Graecus From Idris! This is ashort collection of one shots where the Physician's Cure didn't work on Leo, sending only Festus to retrieve Calypso. This chapter is the thoughts of Calypso when she finds out Leo is dead.

~don't mind me, I'm just the line break~

Calypso POV

I saw a cloud of smoke inching closer, and closer, and closer by the minute. I would have grinned, I would have even smirked, but it was eerily silent. I could only here the clacking of what was supposedly Festus, Leo's pet mechanical dragon. Festus neared, his horns glinting bronze in the sunset, his titanic body was made of plates that slid smoothly against each other. Something was wrong. I screamed. A scream that made my throat raw. A scream that was more shattering than the normal heartbroken sound I would utter whenever a hero left Ogigia. I stumbled backwards as the dragon settled down on the snowy white, soft sand. I could see a drip of oil falling into the earth form the ruby of Festus' eye.

Festus' "voice" echoed in her head, "sorry, he loved you. I know we both loved him. We will both miss him. Sorry. He's... gone."

I snatched his body from the dragon, cradling his head muttering under my breath. He. Cannot. Be. Gone.

"Please say this is only a prank. Please. I'll call you Hot Stuff! I'll be in Team Leo! I'll even call you handsome! Just... Please say this isn't real!" I felt my eyes water, and I tucked his curly hair behind his ear. I hope with all my heart he'll just sit up and flash his cheesy smile and shout, "Got you!" And I'll slap him, chastising him for almost killing me with heartbreak. But I knew it wasn't going to happen.

The latino's skin was ice cold. I rested my hand on his neck. He had no pulse. I smashed my fist into the sand howling and screaming, and crying. "No! No! No! No! No! You... said you would come back. I mean... you did, but, just please, not like this! Just... You can't be in Hades. I thought you were going to be the one. Please... No! Come on!" I sobbed, hiding my head in his oil and soot splattered shirt. I balled my fists and hissed, "Why Gaea, why!?" I felt hollow; betrayed by my family, both the gods, the Titans, and the primordials.

I wiped his face with a handkerchief I produced from my travel cases, removing the soot and ash. I dragged his body onto Festus. "Go Festus. Go. Go. Go! Leave this cursed, stupid island!" I cried as we flew into the horizon.

I hugged him close to me. I placed my lips on his, icy cold, where corny jokes would never come from again. I kissed him with reckless abandon, pulling him next to me. Was it my imagination or did his eyes flutter? But it didn't matter. He was gone and he's not coming back.

A/N: Hoped you liked the story! Sorry that it was so short and sad. Hoped you liked it. The second chapter will be about Jason, his best friend facing the sadness of his death. Bye~
