Calypso is gardening when she hears the sound of a foghorn, piercing the silence of her island. When she recovers from the shock she starts to hope that it is him. Impossible, she thinks, no one visits twice. None the less she runs towards the shore, sitting on a rock as she waits, praying silently for the gods to cut her a break. As the boat comes into sight sees the unmistakable bronze head of Festus. Although she has never met the dragon before he feels familiar to her. Then she spots Leo.
It is almost like one of those cheesy movies as he gets out of the boat and they run towards each other, at least until he stumbles into her. There is a moment of awkwardness as they adjust to this new and foreign situation, they may have spent weeks together before but that was without expectations, they hadn't even liked each other then. Now it was very different.
He is different too, more mature. It is clear that he has sacrificed lots in the battle. None the less his eyes light up at the sight of Calypso. At first the two don't know what to say, but soon they settle into teasing conversation. Soon they are confessing how much they missed each other. She tells him how angry she was when he left, for making a promise he couldn't keep. He swears he always knew he could. As much as she denies it, since he left she has been practicing her mechanical skills in preparation for their shop in the small chance he ever came back.
There is still doubt niggling in the back of Calypso's head that she will not be able to leave the island although he tells her again and again that the gods have agreed to free her. More than that she is worried about what she will find there. If it wasn't for her absolute trust in Leo she doesn't think she could do this.
As the boat sails Calypso is surprised at how sad she feels to be leaving her island. Leo manages to comfort her with his mixture of joking and solemnity as he reminds her that it is only natural seeing as it has been her home for three thousand years. She kisses him hard as the island fades out of sight.
"Did that one happen?" He
