The Music Inside Her Head

Leo has alway felt alone. He always thought he didn't have a soul mate. Calypso suddenly starts hearing music in her head. What happens when his soul mate is a Titaness stuck on a magic Island unable to listen to music? Will Leo find her? When they give each other a chance?


Leo has always felt alone.

His whole life, he thought he didn't have a soul mate.

But... that can't be. Everyone has a soul mate, right? All of his friends had found theirs, Percy and Annabeth, Jason and Piper, even Frank and Hazel. ( Their's was interesting, but more on that later)

You see everyone has a soul mate. Some bonds are know at birth whereas other develop later in life but everyone's is the same. When your soul mate listens to music, you hear it too, and the closer you are to your soul mate the louder the music is.

Everyone grew up listening to music in their heads...

Everyone but Leo Valdez.

Leo Valdez had a tough child hood, his mom died when he was a young boy, his aunt refused to take him in after that and he was put into several Forster care homes, running away from every last one of them, that is until he learned his was a demigod.

Camp turned into his home he gained a true family and decided that he was going to stop running.

However...he still didn't have a soul mate.

He never heard music inside his head.

Calypso, the trapped daughter of Atlas held captive on the cursed Island of Ogygia.

For many Millenia, she was alone, cursed to be visited by those who could never stay. She would watch as heroes came and went, always bearing the same story.

A hero on a quest to save the world or the one that he loves.

Every single hero was the same.

And every time one of them left she felt more alone then before.

She had lost hope

That was until the music started playing inside her head.

It wasn't anything like she has ever felt before. It was new and exciting, but there were questions. The fates had come a visited her after the music started.

They told her that the music was a tie to her soul mate and the hero who would free her from her prison. They told her about a hero that would fall from the sky and crash upon her shores while fulfilling a quest for the gods.

Hope was finally in her life again and the music continued.

The next hero to fall from the sky and onto her island was Percy Jackson.

She thought he was the one to save her. Percy Jackson the son of Poseidon, fell from the sky onto her island while trying to stop the rise of Kronos, a quest for the gods.

All the signs were there, but he was not the one. He kept mumbling about an Annabeth.

He kept saying he needed to get back to her. Back to his soul mate.

She was crushed, she thought Percy Jackson was the one. Maybe the music was just apart of her imagination and all of this was just a cruel joke from the gods. It would be years before another hero came along.

Yet still in her mind the same songs played over and over reminding her that she's not alone.

The greatest thing to ever happen to Leo was being claimed by his father Hephaestus, and joining cabin 9. It was the first time Leo found a home. A place he didn't want to run away from.

He made so many friends including Jason, Piper and Annabeth, however his best friend was not human.

Festus was a golden dragon made by Cabin Nine years before his time and had originally belonged to Charles beckondorf, a son of Hephaestus who had died in the second titian war only months before Leo's arrival. Festus had gone haywire and kept catching things on fire, and destroying the camp before Leo came.

At the time Festus was the only thing that Leo had a strong connection with and had declared that fate was written and he was fated to live alone. That he would live old fixing machines or he would die on a quest doing the god's bidding.

He figured that this was best. If he died on a quest then nobody would care that he was gone. He wouldn't be leaving a soul mate alone in this world.

In his sorrow's he would listen to music that would reflect his mood, but at time's it felt like there was a connection to someone else far, far away.

Music was playing in Calypso's head a lot more then before and most of it was sad and slow music but sometimes there would be fun upbeat and uplifting music.

She much preferred when her soul mate had hope and was in good mood, she often caught herself humming along with the music as it played in her head. When her soul mate was happy she often thought about what they were doing and what made them so happy.

We're they a demigod? Who was their godly parent? What is their favourite thing to do? What important quest will be on when they crash onto Ogygia? How will they get me off this cursed Island?

Not only did she love the soul mate tie and the sound of music playing in her head but she loved the small taste of the modern society that is kept so far out of reach.

The only thing she wanted more then anything, almost even more then to get off this island, was to listen music too. She wanted to let her soul mate know that she existed but she was not given such pleasures. The only music she has the pleasure of listening to was the birds singing in the trees in and about her garden.

The music in her head from the tie was something that she cherished out of this world.

The Prophecy of Seven has sent the greatest heroes on a quest to save the gods from Gaia and her children, the giants.

Seven heroes form both camps, Greek and Roman. Soul mates, such an important weapon in defeating Gaia and any monsters that came their way.

Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase have such a strong connection that they fought the in the second Titian war together. Percy took a dip in the river sticks and Annabeth was his tie to his mortal soul. She took a poison arrow for him and he dove into Tartarus after his soul mate.

Percy and Annabeth's story and relationship is what Leo see's when he think's about soul mate's. He knows that he will never have what they have and at times that makes Leo feel even more lonely then he already is.

Piper and Jason have that typical amazing relationship but still make Leo feel like a third wheel when on a quest with them. They have a dynamic that was forced by Hera and they made in work.

Hazel and Frank are and interesting pair to say the least. Hazel grew up thinking she didn't have a soul mate until her brother brought her back to life and she met Frank. Frank's life is dependent on a magic stick and was so oblivious in his youth he didn't even know that soul mates existed until he met Hazel. Those two were so oblivious and complicated that Leo didn't think he stood a chance if soul mates were so complicated.

Leo had has a crush on so many girls in his lifetime, including the snow goddess Khoine. At one point on their journey to meet Percy and Annabeth on the other end of the doors of death they were attacked by Khoine and she sent him flying into the air.

Where he crash landed on an island.

Calypso couldn't believe it. It must have been a joke. The fates were surely laughing at her by sending this scrawny son of Hephaestus. An utter disgrace. He broke her table and continued to break her things and reck the peaceful noice of nature with all of his banging and nonsense.

He kept calling her 'sunshine' and trying to be helpful but ended up being more of a nuisance. She wished he would leave but sadly that was not how the curse worked. She had to fall in love with him before he could escape.

This Demigod was the final straw, there was know why she would ever fall in love with him which meant he was stuck on her Island forever.

Days went by and Leo started to grow on her but she kept her guard up and refused to let him in no matter what he tried.

The turning point however was when he was humming all the songs she so often heard in her head. She remembered the fates prophecy but refused to believe that he was the one.

Until she fell.

Then he had to go, and like so many before him, he promised to return and rescue her from her Island prison.

Time went by so slowly as she waited for any sign of him. The music began to play again in her mind now and slowly got louder as time when by. Maybe it was a sign that he really was coming back.

A thought so impossible it almost seemed funny. No man ever came back to Ogygia. So many had tried and every single one of them failed to break her from her prison.

It wasn't until one day when a golden dragon fell from the sky and broke her table again did she really believe that she would be saved.

"Dang it Festus, I broke that table again." A voice that stood out unlike the others.

She ran to him and into his waiting arms happy to hear his annoying voice once again.

He look at her with her eye and whispered into her ear "I found you, sunshine."

He was her soul mate and she was his and together they would be perfect for one another.
