Percy P.O.V

A few days after the war with Gaea...

It was a normal day at Camp Half-Blood. The war with Gaea was over, and Annabeth and I sat on the beach with the waves washing over our feet. In the background the Hephaestus cabin worked on the new cabin plans. The other cabins were at their normal activities - Apollo at archery, Ares at combat, Hermes playing pranks on other kids. What was my activity, you might ask. Well, I was trying to work up the guts to propose to Annabeth. Our conversation went something like this.

"Um, Annabeth?

"Yeah?"

"Uh, can I talk to you?"

"You are talking to me, Seaweed Brain." Annabeth said rolling her eyes at me.

"Uh…I don't exactly know how to really say this?"

"Just get it out now, or do you want me to smack it out of that brain? Your choice."

At that moment, something large swooped down from the sky with a whooping creature on top. It smashed into the sand behind them. I breathed out a sigh of relief and decided to postpone the proposal, since I was quite nervous about it. I ran over and tried to figure out who had landed their bronze dragon in the middle of a camp. The only dragon I knew was Festus, who I assumed had died (or whatever mechanical dragons did when their lives were over) with Leo. But boy I was wrong because guess who popped up from behind the dragon - Leo and behind him, Calypso. What?

I walked over. "I thought you died, man!"

"Well, Leo is way too cool for the Underworld!"

Piper and Jason appeared in the crowd with Nico trailing behind them.

Piper ran up and hugged Leo. "I'm so glad you're back." She took a glance at Calypso before adding, "especially with a beautiful girlfriend." She gave a pointed look at Leo.

"Oh, um yeah…"

Jason just patted Leo on the back with a simple "Hey, man" (you know how boys are), and Nico just stood in the shadows with an expression that looked like he had known Leo was alive the entire time. I was angry Nico had let them believe Leo was dead, but I just decided to let it go for the time being.

By then, a crowd had appeared around us and them. Some murmurs came up from the new kids, who wanted to be claimed by Hephaestus after seeing the dragon.

"Man, that is soooo cool!"

"Hephaestus, claim me please! I wish to be your kid."

"Isn't Leo supposed to be dead?"

When Leo noticed, he decided to introduce himself.

"Ladies and Gentlemen from Camp Half-Blood, I present to you myself, Leo the Magnificent, Dead but Alive, Tinkerer or Son of Hephaestus."

Those who knew Leo well, like me, just sighed, because we knew he said all of that as a joke, but those had never met him seemed inspired.

"I also present to you Festus, the Majestic Bronze Dragon, and Calypso" he pulled her in front, " the 'girl who still does not like Leo'."

He received a smack from Calypso.

"I mean Calypso, the Beautiful."

Calypso: "That's better. So, this is Camp…"

"Half-Blood" Annabeth finished.

"Camp Half-Blood. " Calypso repeated. She looked around as if she couldn't believe her eyes. "It is so beautiful. I just love being able to see the world again instead of having to live just on Ogygia for about three thousand years.

I looked down guiltily. "I was going to tell the gods, but I got amnesia and kind of forgot. I'm sorry."

"It's fine. You would have tried if you could. It was also my punishment for supporting Atlas, my father during the war."

"But I still should have spoken up, Calypso." I felt really bad about not saying anything to the gods.

"Truly, it is fine, Percy. I forgive you. Also, Leo has freed me now, so everything is corrected."

Chiron finally spoke up. "It is a blessing to be graced with your presence My Lady, Calypso. However, it is time for dinner and then the campfire. Would you like to stay in the Hephaestus cabin tonight, seeing as you and Leo are together?"

"It would be a pleasure to stay in this lovely Camp and Leo's cabin. Thank you, Chiron."
