Heya guys! So I decided to continue the story with a little romantic quest + OCs. I don't have anything else to say so here we go! And this story is STILL Caleo, just with more charactersThe started off normally enough; demi-gods (plus Calypso) seated across a fire, singing happily.
'And the demi-god ran, ran, ran,
Away from the mighty Pan, Pan, Pan,
But even as ambrosia he gulped down,
He realized he would never make it to town!'
Calypso personally thought the song was a bit depressing, but hey, at least this way she could hear learn the story of Why you should never, ever mess with Pan!Calypso scanned the crowd; Percy and Annabeth left for a college in Rome (they promised they would visit) and she recognized most people except for two.
Calypso looked closer: one was a girl, with long, silky brown hair and an oval-shaped face. She was cheering along with the crowd and Calypso noticed she carried a first-aid kit.
The second was a boy. His skin was pale and face was pointed. His eyes were like black, empty tunnels and his hair was all over the place – he had a Nico-de-Angelo-look about him, but he looked a bit more attractive. Of course, Calypso wouldn't judge because she was with Leo.
She nudged him in the elbow.
'What?' he asked.
'Who are those two?'
Leo looked in the direction she was pointing in.
'Oh, that's Sole Waterfalls, daughter of Apollo and Dan Bones, son of Hades. They showed up while you were asleep.'
'Son of Hades?' Calypso hissed. 'No way! Isn't that breaking some sort of oath?'
'Oh, they're both fifteen, the oath is well paid up for. I think Zeus took away the kid's ability to shadow-travel, and I think Poseidon is trying to drown him or something.'
Leo spoke casually, obviously not noticing the look of shock on Calypso face. But once she got over it, she said, 'Dan doesn't look happy, does he?'
'Well, even if he wasn't the Son of the God of Depression, he would still be unhappy because he arrived and has to sit next to a girl he hates.'
'Why?'
'I dunno. But I bet you my entire drachma that they will end up together.'
'Why?' Calypso repeated.
'Well,' continued Leo casually, 'That's how we ended up, right?'
Calypso smiled and pecked him on the lips, but took a glance towards the Son of Hades as she could feel eyes upon her back. But when she looked back, he was glaring at the girl beside him.

Dan hated the music. He hated the noise. All he wanted was sleep – yet he could not even get THAT.
'Ugh,' he muttered, maybe too loudly.
'What?' snapped Sole. 'If you don't want to stay, leave!'
They had not made a good first impression. He had managed to complain about everything, and put her in a very snappy mood. She had managed to stay mad at him and not talk to him, which was fine with Dan.
'Thank you!' he exclaimed, and several eyes turned to him. As he got up to leave, though, the flames grew to tower above them and started changing shape -
Now he was staring at what looked like a strange, humanoid figure of a woman. A very attractive woman – first it looked like a dinosaur he used to have a crush on when he was three, than this stranger he had seen in a shop, then a bit like Sole … he blinked hard and the figure disappeared.
Suddenly, a girl with curly red her jumped up, and her eyes started glowing a green. Several gasped.
When she spoke, her voice was deep and echoic.
'Two demi-gods and a now mortal shall travel a goddess, anger and above,
She will punish those who stole from her with love,
A Son of Death, A new daughter of song,
A girl once immortal who has waited too long,
They shall go to the center of love, a holy place,
One shall hold his head in disgrace,
Two shall be brought together but will be split,
And all shall suffer in the pit.'
The girl collapsed and several caught her, as if trained. There was a burst of talk and someone screamed, until the horse-man came and silenced everyone. Dan still hadn't gotten used to him.
'A Son of Death,' he said, 'Nico?'
'He's in Camp Jupiter!' said a dark-skinned girl with a slight frizz of brown hair.
Chiron sighed. 'Daniel Bones?'
Daniel was already standing. He could feel eyes turn to him again, and he wished his father would cause the Earth to swallow him whole.
'A once immortal girl who has waited too long … Calypso?'
-
Sole was in a bad mood already thanks to that death boy. Now this prophecy came along and he got to be sent away to die … she was starting to like this Camp.
She watched intently as an elf-like boy stood up and protectively said, 'Calypso can't go! She's not a demi-god!'
'I'm afraid she is the only one the prophecy refers to, Leo. Now,' he continued, 'A New Daughter of Song – Apollo?'
Sole gulped.
'A new daughter – who has arrived in your cabin lately?'
Eyes turned to her. Brilliant. Now she could die along-side a complete -
Language.
'Bring out the cage!' yelled Chiron, and Sole thought she was going to be imprisoned. But then some boys brought out a bird cage containing a snowy-white, dove that seemed to be glowing.
'Aphrodite!' she exclaimed in realisation. 'She's mad because we found one of her pets, right?'
'Yes, she is upset because her gift – from Ares – has wondered off and, amazingly, ended up here. She wants it returned.'
'All shall suffer in a pit,' repeated Dan, 'Yeah, sounds like a great road trip!'
'Road trip?' said Calypso, speaking for the first time. 'We're going to her temple in Athens – we're sailing!'
'Sailing?' gasped Dan, looking terrified. 'You know my uncle wants to kill me!'
Oh great, Sole thought. If she drowned, it would be his fault.
Hoped you like it! Sorry if it's a bit rushed, and tells me if there are any mistakes. For the next chapter, I need five reviews.
