-Percy's PoV-

I woke with a start from a nightmare. The type of Nightmare that would make you wake up clinging to your sheets like if you let go you would fall.

I looked out past the curtains that covered my cave and I saw that the sun was rising in the distance so I got up. I didn't have a shirt on all I had was just my boxers. I put on my white shirt then my pants. I felt a presence behind whilst I change. I put on my shirt and turned around and saw nothing except the light breeze gently pushing the white sheet into my cave. My feet creaked against the floor as I walked towards my sandals and slid them on. It still hurt to walk which I should be honest, shouldn't have surprised it had only been like two and a half weeks since I'd blown up a dormant volcano. I looked in the mirror and saw that my eyebrows had grown back and my hair had evened out. I walked to the entrance and pulled back the thin cloth and decided to go to the beach, looking at the water always woke me up and cleared my head.

As I walked to the beach I looked back at the house that overlooked the garden and I saw that the light was on the first floor. I ignored it and walked to the beach and sat down. The waves gently hitting the shore calmed me down. The sun was just coming up on the east and the water had a tint of orange just like the sky. I looked around to make sure no one was watching and I did something I never thought I would be caught dead doing. I decided to pray to my father through the ocean I walked into the ocean and went in until I was head deep in the ocean. 'Hey Dad,' I said looking around to see if any nyphms were watching thankfully I was by myself. 'I don't know if you can hear me but I need your help to decided on something. You know how I am when it comes to decisions' I felt the water ripple around me, he was listening.

-Calypso PoV-

I woke up feeling unrestful, something was off and peculiar. I looked out my window and saw it was dawn. I decided to not lay waste in my bed and get up. I changed out my nightwear and took a shower. The feeling of warm water and the cinnamon soap against my body woke me up and calmed me. After I was finished getting ready I decided to see if Percy was awake.

Percy is an interesting person and what he did to my brain made me want to scream with glee. Every time he looked at me or talked it drove me mad. Last night I revealed my affection towards him I made him an offer to stay with me so we could be happy together forever. He still dwelled upon the decision and I wanted to see him just in case this was the last day I'd ever see him. I walked through the garden and towards his cave. As I approached I could see through space in the white cloth that covered the cave and saw him standing there with nothing but his boxers on. I stared in awe as he grabbed his shirt and pants and proceeded to put his shirt on. I realized he sensed I was there and I had to hide.

I hid next to the wall of the outside of the covering my mouth to my breath which became husky at the sight of him like it usually did. I heard him grunt slightly as he walked across the room and took this as my chance to walk away and find somewhere in the garden to hide. I ducked behind a big bush as I heard him walk through the garden as he passed I peaked from the bush and saw him walking towards the beach and I followed him in pursuit thinking of what to say. He sat down on the beach and looked at peace. I'll admit it. I could watch him forever sitting at peace with not a care in the world. He started looking around and I hid behind the hill and waited for a minute to make sure the close was clear.

I don't know what came over me that morning I was never that timid around him but today he made me feel like a different woman altogether and I found it quite pleasurable. I looked up and saw him ankle high making his way into the water. He slowly made his way in deeper till he was he was fully in the water. I walked onto the beach and sat down and waited for him to reappear. He sat in the water for a few minutes the water rippling around him. I realized he was talking to Poseidon.

-Percy's PoV-

I sat there on the seabed after my Dad was done. To sum it up he gave me the advice that made me feel bad but good about my what I wanted to do deep down inside. He told me that if I decided to stay he would respect my decision but if I did stay Nico would have to take up Prophecy. I didn't know what to do. Should I entrust Nico with the prophecy and leave my life behind. What would happen to my friends, would my Mom be okay? I sat there for another minute till I couldn't stand with all the fish staring at me even if I told them to scram. I started walking out the water and saw Calypso sitting there on the beach staring down into the water. Then I realized she was looking at me. I shifted my eyes around the beach waiting for her to say something. Once I was out of the water I looked at her 'Umm, Morning' I said. She broke from her gaze at my feet and looked me intensely in the eye 'Oh, um Hello' She blurted out as I sat down next to her. We sat staring over the horizon in silence with the sun slowly rising in front of us and in a weird way I felt at peace just sitting there with her. I looked over at her. Her tanned skin reflecting of the sun and her face at peace like mine. I stared blankly at her till she noticed and looked at me

'What are you thinking about?' She asked looking at me. I broke from my gaze and rubbed the back of my neck 'Can I like ask you a question?' I asked still rubbing the back of my neck. She nodded leaning in closer. 'What would you do if you were in my situation right now?' She glanced at the ground then looked up at me. 'If I had the choice to stay with someone who loves me I would stay.' She said moving in a bit closer. 'Yeah but you also had to worry about like the prophecy and that kinda stuff.' She paused and moved back slightly. 'Percy your in a situation where if you leave the world still has a chance.' I looked at her confused 'What do you mean?' She moved in a bit closer to me our faces are only a few inches away from me 'Percy the prophecy says that a child of the big three will save or destroy Olympus correct?' I nodded knowing where she was going with this. 'That means if you stay here you'll never reach the age of 16 which means you don't have to bear the prophecy!' She looked so happy which in a weird way made me feel good too. I don't know why but something was right about sitting there talking with her felt right.

She put her hand on mine 'Percy,' she said her expression hardening 'I'm not going to force you to stay,' she faced away from me and sighed. I could see a tear in the corner of her eye 'If you truly wish to return to your world I'll let you. But you can stay here and be with me and you won't have to carry the burden of a hero anymore.' she turned to me again with a pleading face. I didn't know what to say. If I stayed I could be happy with her and live peacefully and have a future where I don't have to worry about dying. But I would be leaving everyone I loved behind and leaving them to fight a war I should be fighting with them

'Geez Calyspo I don't, I don't know let me think about it.' Her expression softened and tears welled in her eyes 'Oh okay' she pulled away from me sobbing and standing up. She looked at me and ran away through the garden. 'Calypso wait!' I shouted trying to get up as fast as I could. The pain swelled throughout my legs and I winched because of the pain. I ran after her through the garden after her shouting her name. When she reached the house she turned around with tears rolling down her face.

'Percy stop!' I froze as she straightened herself up. 'I can't guilt you stay here they need you!' In the blink of an eye, she was asking me to leave. Our conversation on the beach felt like a lifetime ago after what she said 'No Calyspo,' I said feeling a tug in my stomach. It was the same feeling I got when Annabeth kissed me the feeling of love. 'You're wrong,' I started walking towards her She went to walk inside and shut the door but something stopped her to look at me head on. 'You've been here for thousands of years by yourself, you need someone to be here for you too, to' I stuttered on the last few words wondering if I really wanted to go through with this. But when I looked at her and got that feeling in my gut when I was around her I knew what I was a way to say was right. 'To love you.' I finished the sentence and her eyes widened as I got closer 'but I don't deserve you. I served the Titans in the Titan war.' She looked at the ground more tears coming out her eyes. I felt myself choking up too 'I don't care!' I said I was only a meter away from her at this point, 'I love Calypso,' I found those words to come off my tongue so satisfying. 'and I want to be with you because you do deserve me.'

Before she could argue I kissed her. My hand cupping her cheeks wiping away her tears. She kept contact by putting her arms around my neck and she didn't argue anymore
