Ogygia, that was Leo Valdez's destination, he knew that no man ever found the floating island twice in his life. However he was determined to find it, after all he had sworn on the river Styx that he would come back to the beauty that was Calypso. Rather than be considered a liar he knew that he needed to find her and find her he would even if he needed to pray to each and every single one of the Gods and Goddesses for help. On that note, he turned and looked towards the ocean and sighed, pulling a stunning celestial bronze rose out of his pocket. He had made this upon his return to Camp Half Blood in hopes of keeping the memory of Calypso alive within him. Soon he found that the fire within his heart wouldn't allow him to forget so now he was going to offer it up in hopes of gaining help from a special Goddess. Clearing his throat he exhaled and smiled as he tossed the bronze flower into the air. "Oh lovely Goddess Aphrodite, hear my words and help me find the love that I seek."
The rose never touched the ground but rather disappeared into thin air, where it had been now stood a lovely young woman with lush blonde locks and stunning blue eyes. "Well Hero, what do you wish of me?" She asked her voice the sound of doves cooing as she smiled down upon him. Leo explained everything to the Goddess before him and when he was finished he looked at her. "Please Goddess, please help me find Ogygia once more so that I can return to Calypso." He said softly as he bit his lip and started toying with his pockets. Aphrodite looked down upon the youth and sighed in a very dramatic fashion. "Very well. Close your eyes and think of her and where you wish to be." She said then smiled. "Now." She held up a slender hand and smiled. "Ask your father to show you the way there. He will know how to get you there in one piece. Just tell him that I sent you." She said then laughed as she faded away, leaving behind a silken crimson sash.
Looking at the sash he frowned then picked it up and sighed. "Father, help me. Your wife said that you would if I told you that she sent me." He called wondering what in Hades' name he was doing. As he threw the sash away he turned and started back towards the cabin where he belonged. Sadness overwhelmed him and he knew without a doubt that he would never make it back to the island and the beauty that was trapped there. Suddenly screams could be heard from the cabin area causing Leo to run and see if he could help. As he reached the cabins he noticed that a bronze Pegasus was causing a stir. Moving closer to it he tried to get near enough to shut off the automaton. The Pegasus however had other plans and kicked off the ground when Leo jumped onto its back. "Hey now this isn't funny." He called as the Pegasus took off higher and higher until Camp Half Blood was no more.
Hours later the Pegasus finally landed allowing Leo a chance to escape. As his feet touched the ground he heard a voice from his memory. "Hello Hero, welcome to Ogygia. My name is Caylpso, what is yours?" That was when he knew that he had made it home, back to her. Turning he flashed a broad smile and shrugged. "Hey beautiful, I'm back..."
