Chapter - II

Dying was definitely not how Leo expected it to be. A searing pain and darkness engulfing him, that was what he imagined dying was like. He even thought that it was beautiful. But what he was feeling right now was something totally different. He was dying, yes or wait, was he already dead yet? He couldn't say but it was excruciatingly painful. He felt like he was being sucked into a small tube and then being sent out of it.

"Aagh!" he gasps all of a sudden. He glances at the needle sticking out of his left forearm, the last droplets of the Physician's Cure entering into his circulatory system.

"I'm not dead," he realizes before screaming, "YEAH! WHO DIED? WHO CAME BACK? WHO'S YOUR FREAKIN' SUPERSIZED McSHIZZLE NOW, BABY? WOOOOOOOO! "

Leo thought that all his problems were gone. Problem is that there was just one small problem. He was heading at the coast of an island at a tremendous speed and his massive dragon, Festus was temporarily disabled.

It didn't take long for Leo to stop screaming like a maniac and realize his predicament. But it wasn't enough time for him to reprogram Festus and prevent crashing into the coast. He landed face first in the crystalline sand.

"Owwwww... I came back from the dead to die again," he groaned while sitting up. But as soon as he realized where he was a smile crept into his face.

The sandy beach, the clear ocean and the lush and beautiful vegetation around him could mean only one thing. He thought he saw a small cave in the distance.

This was Ogygia, and he was back for her.
