This is about what I think would happen when Leo brings Calypso to camp after the giants war.
Percy's POV.
Ugh. I'm so bored. There is absolutely nothing to do. All I've been doing day in, day out, is training and waiting for Annabeth to get back from the remodelling of Olympus. 4 months after the giant war and I have to admit that camp looks pretty good with all the new cabins and I can only imagine what Olympus looks like right now. I am officially sick of training, I can't spar against anyone because only Annabeth, Jason and Thalia have the permission to do so after I nearly killed someone because of a flashback. I'm not going to lie and say that I'm completely fine now after the trip to Tartarus, but I've definitely gotten control of myself enough to not be dangerous. Still Chiron says he'd like to wait longer and I'm only aloud to teach the classes sword-fighting but other people have to do the demonstrations.
I wouldn't be in this mess if Chiron hadn't insisted I join in camp activities the second the quest was over. Obviously I'm going to need a bit of time to get used to the real world again after what happened but the old centaur thought it was best that I try to move on and "not live in the past". I call bullshit. I know Chiron was just trying to help but he can't possibly have any insight into this topic at all, it's one of the few things about this world that he's completely clueless on. Only me and Annabeth know what it was like, maybe Nico, but he had monsters to protect and escort him through, whereas myself and Annabeth very nearly died at least twenty times.
My girlfriend has now moved into cabin three with me because of the night terrors we both experience, no one had any arguments against this as before our screams would wake the camp and none but each other could remedy the pure undiluted horror we relived in our dreams. We both agree that we'd rather have our old dreams back, than this. Its better now though, we wake up to find the one person we trust with our lives.
For the first time ever, I'm missing school. I know right? Weird. But this is our 'recovery year' all seven of us from the prophecy. Not that the Romans had a choice. And no one really knows exactly where he is. All we know is he set sail with the Argo II and some weird magic GPS thing and now its 5 months later. Jason is at Camp Jupiter at the moment, finding someone to replace him as augur, he wants to come to Camp Half-blood for now with Piper and then move back together when they're too old for here. Hazel and Frank decided to stay put at Camp Jupiter but we've all decided to get together every few months.
The only thing is that everybody else but me are allowed to do anything they like. Okay well maybe Annabeth can't fight anybody but me either, but she has the distraction of rebuilding Olympus and by the time that's finished Chiron will have let us start training again. But I have to go the long way round and wait, with nothing else to do.
'One more month though' a voice says. Yes good old Chiron said he'd re-evaluate in six months and that was five months ago but I just know that this month will feel like a year.
"hey" a soft spoken voice comes from behind me. Still enough to make me jump up though, hand flying to Riptide in my pocket.
I breathe a sigh of relief when I see its just Annabeth stood behind me at the door way to our cabin. "thank god your back wise girl, I'm bored out of my mind!" I cry, really and truly meaning it.
She just chuckles at me " you know just because your not aloud to fight anyone but me, doesn't mean you can't practice with the dummies."
I give her a sheepish smile, scratching the back of my neck, "yeah, um I kinda did that hours ago and lets just say the dummies died." she knows what I mean by this is that the dummies are unusable for anyone else now, and she really doesn't look to happy. Just as I'm about to get a lecture about how it's selfish and unfair to other when I destroy the practice dummies I'm saved by the bell. Well not really a bell but it's a noise so loud and high pitched it's got my ears ringing. Cringing I cover my ears and stumble outside where everyone else is looking around or up at the sky trying to decipher where the noise is coming from. Then suddenly a very familiar, annoyingly cocky voice I've actually missed blares across camp.
"arrrrr sorry 'bout the feedback guys,"came Leo's voice, I started looking around like crazy, not able to wait to see the little devil. " Leo Valdez reporting for duty, well I am down at the beach any ways. And I brought someone too." I don't care who he's brought, the second he says beach I grab Annabeth's hand and sprint towards the beach. I notice Piper's with us too hot on our heels as we race towards one of our best friends.
When we get there, we see the ArgoII off to our right and two figures stood talking on the beach next to it. Whoever this someone is, she's got long brown hair but that's all I know because she's got her back to us. Myself, Piper and my girlfriend all exchange grins before taking of again, barrelling towards Leo. He's so engrossed in his conversation that he doesn't notice us until we're passing the mystery girl barely having time to open his arms and crack his infamous grin before we collide with him. We all go down, a mess of limbs and laughter and sand.
"Its good to see you guys too," Leo says as the stand back up, dusting off the sand. "I really missed you all. I take it that the others are at the Roman camp? Thought that might happen but oh well we can visit. Now guys I want you to meet someone."
Leo gesture behind us all, his eyes shining with happiness. The three of us turn and I can literally feel the air turn cold around me and I grasp Annabeths wrist for support. Standing in front of us is someone I never thought I'd see again and quite honestly never wanted to. She looked just as shocked to see me here, probably thinking I had died centuries ago.
"Calypso"
