I had until sunrise to decide. Should I stay with her? No war, no prophecy. I would be free of that choice. Could I leave my friends and family like that, with no warning? I thought this over very carefully. I couldn't make the wrong decision. Calypso's Island was very pleasant and I loved it. The sparkling lake, her blooming gardens, and Calypso herself. Wow.
I looked out side and saw the sun rising, almost coming out of the water. I decided. I would stay on Calypso's Island forever. Immortal. Content. I stepped outside my new home. "Calypso," I called. "I've decided to stay here. Your curse is gone."
She looked up from her, my, our garden. "Are you serious Percy? You can't be serious. The gods only send people who can's stay."
"Well not this time. I love you, Calypso." She had tears in her eyes. It felt good to make her so happy. I really did love her and she loved me back.
I was happy on her island and I soon forgot all my friends, my family, and what would have happened if I had chosen to go back. We had a great time together on that island happy forever.
Although, one day we heard a great rumbling noise that shook the entire island. "What is going on?" she called to me.
I could hear the worry in her voice. " I don't know, but come here close to me." What we did not realize was that since I decided to stay, the curse was broken and we no longer had to stay on that Island. Soon we saw a strip of brown lying just above the ocean line.
"What is that?" I asked her.
"It's land." She replied.
"But that's impossible. We live on an island in the middle of nowhere. Literally in the middle of nowhere." But we were here, back on the continent of North America, and we were heading towards what looked like my old home. New York.
