I have to admit, it's been a while since I've posted and I hope I haven't loss the integrity of readers! This is a common excuse though I'd treat it as a legitimate reason: Homework. Assignments. Projects. Tests. The list goes on. Enough with my rambling now, this chapter may be short of the usual quantity as I wanted to publish it as quick as possible. Other than that, ENJOY!

Camp Jupiter – Present, 9:45 pm

Amongst the chatter and the food, the main attraction spread out to attempt to talk with everyone. Or rather everyone tried to talk to the crew of Argo II. After all, these were the stars of the show, and obviously, popular kids got treated as appropriately categorized, thus, it was somewhat difficult to maintain a steady "back-and-forth" conversation. As it got later though, fatigue (and alcohol) took its toll and many people began slowly drifting back to their cohort's quarters. Reyna and Nico had gone back to their guests' quarters and Annabeth had decided to retreat earlier, returning to Percy's newly built Praetor's quarters. Frank and Hazel were sitting in the far-end table, recalling certain battles in the Great War, and Jason and Piper, off to the Roman Baths to do who knows what.

Percy and Thalia were the last to finish final farewells and signing of autographs, and hence, were left alone in the courtyard after the remaining individuals departed.

"Phew, that was one talkative kid," sighed Percy

"Yeah, I almost wanted to shoo him off but he was just a child." Thalia agreed.

Percy scratched his head and he stared into the distance for a moment. "Hmm, who was his godly parent?"

"I think it was Apollo,"

"Oh, so he's a brother of Gabriel, he might actually know him," said Percy thoughtfully. He walked around the courtyard, towards the altars in the north corner of Camp Jupiter, Thalia following closely behind. She punched him lightly.

"You're drunk, Percy."

He looked at her in puzzlement and she continued, as if to read his mind.

"Gabriel hasn't been to Camp Jupiter, and the kid─what was his name─Jake was just claimed a few months ago. How would they know one another?"

"Ah yes, my bad," he slapped his forehead. Suddenly, Thalia stumbled forward and her vision became fuzzy. Percy caught her in his strong arms, helping her regain her balance. He laughed abruptly.

"Thalia, look who's drunk now,"

She smiled. "Whatever, thanks for catching me,"

"No problem, I'm always there to take care of clumsy children,"

Thalia tilted her head to one side and placed her hands on her hips. "Are you mocking me, Jackson?"

Percy turned around to face her and was taken aback by what he saw. The moonlight outlined Thalia's figure and she almost glowed magically. He was painfully aware of her every feature, and his eyes instinctively scanned her head to toe. The daughter of Zeus was sporting a black sleeveless "V-neck" dress that flowed with her every movement and the traditional silver circlet worn on her head like a princess's tiara. The top portion of the dress was tightly pressed against her body and clearly marked her lean athletic physique. It was the first time Percy saw her hair neatly combed and braided down her back. Her black hair had grown to reach right below her shoulders and her skin, a remarkable shade of somehow both pale and bright white.

"Wow, Thalia you look beau─" Percy started but caught himself, blushing. He was extremely grateful for the darkness that surrounded the night, save the shining stars overhead. Thalia though, already guessed what he was about to finish. She looked genuinely happy in her current state and taking Percy's hand, she pulled him towards the altars. As they arrived at the bottom of a long flight of stairs that led to the top of a pyramid-like structure, they stopped. Thalia turned towards him and gazed into his sea green eyes.

"You ready?"

Percy coughed and sputtered sea water the moment she finished her statement and Thalia barely danced around him to avoid getting wet.

"Hey, easy there." She patted his back. He finally regained his composure but was still blushing, this time, the moonlight revealing his embarrassed countenance.

"I don't think I'm ready to have se─"

Thalia cut him off. "No, that's not what I meant. What were you thinking?" she looked just as surprised as Percy.

"Oh . . ." Percy trailed off. Thalia took his hand again.

"Although, Lady Artemis did allow the Hunters a month's break from the oath─"

The son of Poseidon whipped his head towards her once more and she quickly continued to keep him from fainting on the spot.

"What I meant was, are you ready, cuz' I'm going to fly us up there."

"You can fly?!"

"Well I'm the daughter of Zeus aren't I?"

Percy was speechless. After a brief period of silence, Thalia spoke again.

"I learned how to control this ability near the end of the war. That's how I caught up to you on Eurymedon's Mountain."

He was still in slight shock so without waiting for his response Thalia shot both of them up towards the top of the Northern Altar.

Ogygia, Exact time: unknown – Late Evening

Calypso's body slammed into the wall and she winced, but Leo already started planting kisses upon her neck. The pain quickly subsided, replaced by a rush of adrenaline and excitement. A short exhale of hot breath escaped her lips as she shivered with delight. He moved down to her shoulders, then to her chest, all the while, swiftly shifting the clothing out of the way. Her silk top slipped down to her upper-arms as Leo undid the small peach buttons one-by-one with his right hand while supporting her back with his left. Calypso shivered again and whimpered softly, her hands tightly clutching her skirt; the lustful notions were overwhelming.

As the last of the buttons were undone, Leo was about to remove the top garment when Calypso suddenly pushed against him. He fell backwards, the soft pale green moss cushioning the impact but he still grunted. Calypso was on him like a lioness. Pulling at his shirt, she used her other hand to rub against his cock. He responded with a loud moan, unlike his usual deeper tone, and Calypso knew immediately she had hit bull's eye. His eyes were closed and his mouth clamped shut, lined with desire. The girl straddled him, her light blue miniskirt inadvertently giving way to her nether regions and she applied more pressure onto his pelvis. His cock inevitably shot up like a rocket, and as it hardened, he opened one eye.

"Feisty, aren't you?"

Calypso smiled. "You're just too easy."

"Well let's see who catches fire first,"

He grabbed her arms and pulled her onto him, his soft lips crashing onto her own. Calypso bit onto his lower lip, her firm breasts pressing against his chest from underneath her unbuttoned garment. The couple began maneuvering about the brightly lit cave, all the while, their lips locked in a battle for control. They were on the wall now and Leo, feeling more confident, grabbed Calypso's miniskirt, tearing it off its foundation and tossing it aside. His hands traced her body, moving across her hips, from her firm ass to the side of her abdomen and his fingertips finally circled her breasts with a few revolutions before gently cupping them in his hands, caressing them. Calypso's body jolted in a joyful fit and lost the battle. Breaking the kiss momentarily, she let out a passionate moan before Leo captured her in his trap once more.

The son of Hephaestus smirked under his brilliant guise that was at the same time, legitimate, and held his dominance. Leo left one hand still in motion with her breasts and traced the other back down her perfect figure, this time, inching towards the inconspicuous aperture of her unexplored districts. His fingers naturally led him inside and he initiated what became a repetitive motion of inexplicable gratification. Calypso's inner desire was so powerful now that it exceeded its physical boundaries, stretching beyond her usual limit and surpassing Leo's maintained charge. She broke the lock of lips and yet again, moaned with fiery intensity. The overwhelming fervor was driving her crazy without mental regression.

Leo's fingers began sparking literally, tiny yellow sparks that made mini snapping sounds. The exhilaration inspired Calypso's inner magic and miraculously, her bluish shade of magic blended with his respective energy, forming a green aura about Calypso's now-illuminated labia. Her labia began to somewhat swell as arousal snaked through her nerves. Leo's fingers were now moving smoothly inside her sacred orifice.

"Oh, look who's wet as the ocean." He chuckled softly. Calypso did not respond, in her state of bliss. Her face was that of full contentment but her fire had yet to be quenched. She moaned again and looked into her lover's eyes.

"Stop teasing me already, I need you now." her voice pleaded.

Leo's two fingers left Calypso's pussy which was, by now, lubricated with sexual excretions. His other hand still caressed her breast while he undid his buckle. Not waiting for him to undo the zipper on his jeans she tapped it and the zipper popped. She eagerly tugged off his pants and placed her hand on the bulge underneath his cotton underwear.

"Excited?" she whispered with a hint of mockery, massaging the rapidly growing cock.

"Why don't you find out?"

Calypso tugged at the only barrier remaining between her and her ticket to heaven. She licked her lips voraciously.

Leo, who was aware of every one of her features and actions noticed no less.

"I didn't know you were hungry for such things," he smirked.

In response, she grabbed the edge of his boxers and ripped them away. Leo removed his shirt in sequence. Standing before Calypso now was a masterfully crafted body, worked with years of experience from the forges and in battle. She was frozen with admiration yet with a touch of reasonable fear; his lean body was marked with power yet capable of gentleness and docility. Leo was completely naked though without shame or regret, nor was he afraid of judgement. This, was the Leo she fell in love with. Beaming, she brushed the hair from falling in front of his face and kissed him on the cheek. She whispered with a quiet yet vigorous tone.

"Light the fuse."
