Hi everyone! I still haven't gotten any comments, so please don't be afraid to comment! enjoy chapter four!

Leo's POV

What the heck was going on?

This weird girl leads us through this forest, confuses us with a bunch of side comments, then bows at me and says that I am her master? It is a dream come true, but that made it much weirder.

"Master," Lily continued, "If you are willing to accept it, I offer my services as a protector and guardian. I am quite powerful, and can help you on your quest. Once you say the word, I will be there to take care of your every need, even simple ones. I am bound to your word, so I can't do anything you don't want me to do, unless the consequence is you or one of your friends dying. I will also be able to understand your thoughts, so if you are unable to speak, you will still be able to give orders."

I thought about it. A guardian? This girl wanted to be my guardian? Lily was still kneeling at my feet, waiting for an answer.

"What's the catch?" I asked, suspicious.

"There is no catch. Believe me when I say this. You will be doing me as much as a favor as I will be doing you."

Then I was suddenly like, what can go wrong? This girl wanted to help me. And for no price! Then I thought about the dream.

"You sent that vision."

Lily blushed a little, "I had to summon you somehow, and a dream vision seemed like the best option. So do you except my services?"

Oh, sure. Like I was not going to have an almighty guardian taking care of my every need.

I gave her a bid smile and said, "Welcome to Team Leo!" Then I was tacked by a hug.

"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" Lily shouted, jumping up and down. Then she let go of me and cleared her throat. "Sorry, Master."

I was a little surprised by her reaction, but I completely understood it. Who wouldn't want to serve me?

"You don't have to call me 'Master'," I said to her, "How about 'Almighty Lord of Fire'? Yeah, I like that! Call me that, ok?"

"Of course, Almighty Lord of Fire." Lily said.

A few of my friends snickered a little.

"Actually, no," I said, "can you just call me Leo?"

This comment surprised Lily, but then she smiled again and said, "Of course, Leo."

That's when things got really weird. Lily suddenly hit me in the head. But the way she hit me was weird. When her hand came in contact with my forehead, I saw that her hand was not in a fist, but flat out. And she didn't take her hand back afterwards. She just kept it there. It didn't hurt for some odd reason, but it took the wind out of me a little. Suddenly, I saw visions of me go through my head. I didn't have time to look at them all because they were being looked at too quickly, but I knew they were about me. Then as suddenly as they came, they were gone.

I was seeing spots. Then when I vision cleared, Lily was standing in front of me. but she was different. Instead of a dress, she was wearing a short purple skirt that was just above her knees, black leggings, and a purple T-shirt that had a black butterfly on it. Her hair was exactly the same, except there wasn't ribbon braided in it. To me, she looked much better this way. She looked less like a girly girl and more like a kick-butt girl. She looked very happy.

"Now I know I had chosen well," said Lily.

"How do you know you had chosen well?" I asked. That was stupid.

"Because I can be myself!"

That just made me more confused.

"When a fairy chooses a guardian, they have to be accepted as a guardian. They can't force it upon themselves. Once they are chosen, they have to sort of 'shape themselves up' so look like what their Master would seem fit. For example, if I was chosen by a daughter of Aphrodite, I would be in a pink dress with makeup. But you," Lily smiled at me, "your way of me looking ok is how I would look on a regular day!"

Even though she answered my question, she sprung up a bunch of new ones.

"Wait, fairy?" I asked.

Lily slapped herself on the head, "I completely forgot! Yes, I am a fairy."

"Then where are your wings?"

Lily smiled again. This time, her smile looked different. Like she knew something I didn't.

"That, my dear Leo, is where you come in."

"I still don't get it."

"What I don't get," interrupted Jason, "is why you chose Leo and not one of us."

I was hurt. It must have shown on my face.

"It is not that Leo wouldn't be a good choice," Piper quickly added, "It is just, why him?"

Lily looked excited.

"I was hoping you would way that," said Lily, "When I found out that seven demigods, that happened to be the seven demigods of the Great Prophesy, were coming near here, I thought it was too good to be true. When I had confirmed it, I realized that I would have to pick one of you. After some thought, I eliminated all the girls because, let's face it, they don't really need any more help."

Piper and Hazel laughed. Annabeth gave Lily a high five.

"Hey!" shouted Percy, "What's wrong with us?"

"There is nothing wrong," said Lily, "it is just that they are better."

Frank muttered something about being sexist.

"Let me continue," said Lily, "After a little bit of thought, I eliminated Jason. He is brave and handsome, but a little too serious for me. I eliminated Frank for the same reason. That left me you two." She gestured towards me and Percy.

She sighed. "It was the hardest decision I ever made in my life. They are both very brave demigods that are both very loyal and true heroes. Then I eliminated Leo because I thought he didn't take things seriously."

"So wait," said Percy, "I thought you picked Leo. You just said you picked me!"

"I was getting to that," said Lily, "So I decided, just to make sure I was making the right choice, I played my final card."

"What was your final card?" asked Frank.

Lily took a deep breath. "I looked into your pasts."

My jaw dropped. So did Percy's.

"And I didn't just see what happened, but also how the person was feeling at that point, their intentions, and how they feel in the aftermath."

"Why would you do that?" I asked. This stranger had invaded my personal space. That was the only thing I kept especially safe.

"I needed to know," said Lily, "My job as a guardian is to help someone. After I saw through every last bit of their memories," she looked a bit guilty, "I changed my mind. Leo was who needed a guardian."

"Hold on," I said cautiously, "So you know everything about me?"

"Yes. I know your favorite color, your birthday, your dreams, your fears, and…" she hesitated before adding, "and what you seek."

I froze. She couldn't be meaning…

"Well, everyone knows what I seek. I want to find Gaea and punch her where it really hurts!"

Lily just shook her head. "You know what I mean."

I did only too well.

"Well, I am so glad to get to know you all, but don't you think we should get out of here?" said Lily, "My magic protected you on your journey through the forest to find me, but you never know."

We all started on our way back. I was preoccupied at the moment. I couldn't stop thinking about what Lily said. I couldn't stop thinking about one name. One name that turned my life from complicated to even more complicated.

Calypso.
