Leo's POV

I can't make it, I thought, I just CAN'T! I ached all over from the desrtuction of my little sail boat only moment before. As I was sailing, a giant dragon-like-thing came my way. It had a long snout and horridly jagged teeth with metal boards that sent a shiver down my aching spine.

It used a burst of energy to slither across the water, blowing fire and brimstone right at my boat. I pulled the biggest wrench that I could find in my special tool belt. It didn't harm the monster, but greatly annoyed it.

I wasn't hurt, of course. But the boat wasn't so fortunate, and was completely engulfed in flames. The dragon looked at me as if to say, Why no crispy creature for snacks?

The quizzing look that the dragon sea monster gave me was really sad, I almost felt bad for it that I hadn't been burned to a crisp for him.

At first the dragon was shocked. Then it turned to pure anger as it found out that it would be harder to get a snack than he realized.

The dragon's rage exploded and he threw itself at my already-on-fire-boat. There was a loud crack, and I was once again like a bird flying through the air really quite ungracefully.

With flailing arms and much screaming, I fell towards the ocean. I hit the water like a brick and began to sink.

The crystal that I had gotten from Calypso's cave hit the water with a satisfying plunk, and began to sink rapidly. My heart began to flutter at the thought of losing the crystal-then I would never be able to find my way back to Ogygia!

I swam with renewed effort and snatched the sparkling crystal before it sank into complete and utter darkness, hugging it to my chest. The air in my lungs was slowly leaking out, and started to burn. I paddled my feet with all my might and surfaced.

Now that I was thrown from my boat I knew I was far from danger. Floating planks of charrred rubble of my sail boat circled about me. I exhaustedly threw my arm around one, holding on for dear life, lugging the crystal on another.

I drew my compass from around my neck to see if I could tell where I was facing-not north, south, east or west. I was no where. The needle was spinning wildly. I couldn't believe it! I slammed it against my life-board a few times and stared at it again.

No luck; still spinning. I looked down and saw that the water was now fresh water when I was supposed to be in the middle of the ocean.

Leo's POV

I slowly spun in a circle, taking in my surroundings and getting a feel for the environment I was now in, and found in the distance a welcoming white sandy beach with luscious green grass. Even though I could barely see the beach, I could easily make out a deep crater near the center of the island.

That was of course from him when he first crash-landed there and ruined Calypso's picnic table. Calypso. . . . Calypso, Calypso, Calypso, Calypso! It made me all giddy inside saying her name.

I can see her face now. Her gorgeous long, caramel hair like a waterfall flowing down her back. Her eyes that sparkled in the shine of the sun. And here sing-songy voice that flowed like none other. Her soprano singing that sent chills down my back. I probably looked like an idiot.

I probably had my mouth hanging open, and was most likely drooling. But I didn't really care at that moment. I hadn't seen her in almost 2 years!

Truthfully, my heart ached with desperate loneliness. I forcefully shoved the board away and swam for all it was worth.

I was soon weakened and ached more than I did before, but I persevered and swam on. I was about 50 feet away. Forty. Thirty-five. Thirty. Twenty feet. Fifteen. I finally reached the slightly sloped beach.

I collapsed into a desperate, lonely-waterlogged heap on the sandy floor. For almost two years had I been searching in vain for this island.

And I found it.

I broke the curse.

I did the impossible.

I came back when the others didn't.

I came back when the others failed.

I came back to Ogygia, even though it is impossible for man to find Ogygia twice.

I laid there smiling like a prostrated nincompoop. Then my eyesight slowly started to fade due to overexertion. Cheez. How heroic of me, right?

To emphasize the last sentence, I sarcastically assumed a made-up heroic flying-bat-man position on the sand . . . and passed out.

OHHHHH! I got you noooow! Sorry 'bout the short chapters though! And don't forget to give me some positive comments about what I could change. Thank you guys!
