kitty: now on with the story
this chapter takes place a year after Bast was reliesed in Red Pyramid
but the story happens after Red Pyramid and before the Lost Hero
The Mystery Child
The baby in the box
A woman with long caramel-color hair and almond-red puffy eyes, started crying for the third time that night
"Calypso, my love, it is time" said a man with blond hair and red eyes carrying a small bundle on one arm.
"The fates are too cruel making us part from our child." She said still crying now on her knees
"It's true, my love, but if we don't the gods will find out and have him destroyed for who he is." Said the man coming closer to Calypso
"But he's only a child why would they do such a thing; why don't they let us keep him?" she said still crying
"Because the gods didn't know I left my post to be with you and they don't know about him"
The little bundle on the man's arm started to stir and making whimpering noises
"I believe our child needs his mother one last time" he said passing the child to her
Calypso gently hugged the child still crying "the fates are truly cruel"
The man hugged her while smiling at his son "it is time, my love" he said moving towards a boat with a big rectangular box inside
"Where will he go?" she asked standing up from the ground
The man thought for a moment then looked at Calypso "we can't send him to Greek territory for the gods might notice. We'll send him to an old friend of mine; she'll be able to hide him from the Greek gods."
Calypso looked at him with confusion in her eyes "who is she, Sparta?"
"She's Egyptian" he said removing the lid from the box
Calypso widened her eyes in shock while he pulled a piece of paper and a pen from thin air "but, I thought Greeks and Egyptians aren't allowed in other affairs. What if she brings him to camp half-blood and Dionysus sends our child to Zeus?" She asked as Sparta finished writing and put the parchment in the box
"It's just like you said Calypso, Greeks and Egyptians aren't allowed in other affairs. She couldn't if she wanted to; and besides she has a little soft spot for babies" he said still taking odd objects from thin air and putting them in the box
Calypso was a bit relieved with what he said and put her child inside the box "can I have some paper as well so he can recognize my writing too?"
"Of course" he said taking paper from thin air again and handing it to her with the pen.
She started writing something in Greek and folded the paper and put it with Sparta's "travel save my child and if your anything like your father, we will see each other again" she said kissing the child's head while shedding a tear
Sparta put the lid back on the box and went to Calypso's side "please travel safe and take him to Bast the Egyptian cat goddess"
The boat floated away and started to turn at the direction of Manhattan like it was magic. Calypso hugged Sparta crying on his shoulder "travel safe my child, we will meet again"
