"LEO VALDEZ" the voice boomed.
Leo stepped confidently out from the crowd of demigods in orange CHB and purple CJ shirts, waiting to be recognized by their godly parents. Leo still had his goofy smile on, but his face and arms were still marred by scars from the recent Giant War, I guess the rest of us didn't look much better. His curly brown hair was as messy as always; some things never get old. He wore his Camp Half – Blood shirt and jeans that had oil and grease stains on them.
"Father," Leo knelt in front of his misshapen dad.
"Rise, my son." Leo rose, "For your bravery in the past war, I would like to award you the gift of immortality. I am not sure you will accept it, since your friends decided not to…" he rolled his eyes and glanced towards Annabeth and me.
"Hmmm…. No thanks, but I do have a request." Leo replied almost immediately.
Hephaestus sighed, "Go on".
"Release Calypso from Ogygia and bring her here now. Please. I want to make sure you don't forget… Again." At this he looked towards me, and I felt a pang of guilt. I had wanted to make sure the gods followed up on that request, but things got so busy.
"Very well, boy, but you will have to complete a quest."
"Fine, anything." Leo huffed.
Hephaestus got over his initial shock at being told what to do by his son, and he looked towards Zeus before waving his hand. A brilliant light filled the huge throne room, accompanied by some screams, before settling down and revealing a pillar of smoke in the center of the room. I held on to Annabeth tightly.
"Calypso?" Leo called into the smoke.
"Leo? Is that you? Where am I? What happened?" Came the reply. I shook at the thought of seeing her again. It would not only be awkward because she thought I left her there, but because she had cursed me afterwards. The smoke settled down, revealing a girl our age, 17, she had long dirty blonde hair, that swished down her back in a mesmerizing way. I stared at it, before Annabeth flicked my arm, reminding me that she was Leo's and Annabeth was mine.
"Calypso!" Leo exclaimed, running towards her.
"Leo!"
She ran towards him and jumped into his arms. I loved how happy Leo looked; like his normal self again. So this was what he was missing. After being alone so long, he totally deserved it.
