Hey, everyone! This is my second PJO fanfic, I hope you like it! (P.S.I just saw too many Percabeth fanfics and thought it was time for a Percalypso. I think you'll like it, even if you are a Percabeth/Perachel/Thalcy fan!) Thanks for reading!
P.S. I love comments! :)
I slowly untied the reed that was holding my hair back and dropped it into the water. I waded in slowly and let the salty seawater soak into my skin. A school of minnows swam past me and I allowed my mind to be cleared of all the trouble I have gone through- my true love leaving me, my sons being taken away from me. I was stripped of everything I held dear as a punishment for putting my family before my pride. The minnows were nipping playfully at my feet, and I wiggled my toes to entertain them further. They swam through my blond hair, lying buoyant in the water. Right when I was completely at peace, the ocean started to tremble. I lifted my head out of the water.
"Who goes there?" I demanded. I secretly hoped it was Percy, but I knew the odds were greater that I be set free. Like that would ever happen. I looked around to find an ancient vessel headed towards Ogygia. Had the gods really sent another adventurer so soon after the disappearance of my true love, Percy? How cruel they were indeed.
The ship was upon me sooner than I had expected, and I saw none other than Poseidon steering it. He had sent a ladder down, and I hastily climbed it. One of the shipmates immediately clothed me in a blue silk robe. "Poseidon, why are you here?" I asked.
"I have come to set you free." He said. I almost laughed.
"That's not funny." I accused, "You know I'm banished here for eternity."
"Not anymore," He said, "Percy sent special orders for you to be set free."
I blushed at the mention of Percy. "Why would you listen to him?"
He then proceeded to take three hours describing an epic battle between the titans and the gods, in which Percy took a leading role. He then told me that Percy denied immortality and instead set me free of my beautiful prison among other things. I couldn't believe it.
"So… It's true? I've been staying on Ogygia for thousands of years, only to be released by the word of a mortal?" I asked. I was now in tears. Percy had wished me free!
Poseidon nodded. I was about to faint. In fact, I'm pretty sure I did just that, because the next thing I knew my world had gone to black.
