Daughter of Atlas
Chapter 1: Waking
Ryan
My vision returns to me as I open my eyes, I'm on a bed and it's quite comfy. "Is this Elysium?" I ask myself, I get up and immediately fall. I lay there and struggle to get back up.
My legs felt lkike jelly but I managed to limp all over the place. I stumble out of the cave and wonder around the landscape.
I get to the beach and flop in and instantly feel better. I recognize that this beach is the one I see in my dreams, Where am I?
I lay in the water and think I could stay like thiis forever, What a paradise.
I clean myself up and head back to the cave, that bed is really comfy! As I head back I look around a realise how beautilful the plant life is, then I feel it. The pull.
The same pull I had to Camp Half-Blood. I follow it to the most beautilful garden on the face of the earth. I've never seen some of these plants but the ones I do know look
amazing, but they don't compare to what is in the middle of the garden. A girl kneeling on the ground planting a seed. "Ahem" I cough causing her to turn to me wide eyed.
She then runs to me and embraces tightly. She realises what she just did and lets go. An awkward silence follows and I look in to hear eyes. So beautilful.
I break the silence "Hi, Ryan. Ryan Aterignis." I raise my hand so she shake it and she does "Well it is finally good to know your name brave one." she tells me.
She walks past me and motions me to come. "What's your name, and how long have I been out?" I ask the carmel haired beauty that seemed familiar.
"Calypso. You have been asleep a year my brave one." she answers. My jaw drops, I've been gone for that long!
We get back to the cave and Calypso fixes a meal for us. As I dig in I realise where I know her from. "You are leaving me now are you?" That voice it's Calypso!
I stop look at her and see she is the same girl I chased on Broken Top. Who is she?
We finish dinner and I question her "So where are we?"
"Ogygia, my island." she says.
I look at her and see tears gathering in her eyes. "Well you have a wonderful island." I tell her with a smile.
She turns away and says "Thank you hero, but you must rest." She quickly leaves. Making me wonder once again, "Who is this girl?"
