After eating, they all decided to go to sleep after sitting by the campfire. Leo lay down next to Calypso quietly, looking at the twinkling speck of lights in the sky that they called stars. He felt arms pull at his waist, and he watched as Calypso cuddled into his chest, her face looking peaceful. Leo smiled and settled into the warm embrace, letting himself drift off to dreamland. When he opened his eyes, Leo stood in a messy workshop the brunette had came to know as his father's workshop.
His father turned around, towering over the child. At first, he didn't see him, and Leo let out a yelp of fear as the god almost stepped on him, scrabbling to get out of the way. His father glanced down at the sound, and smiled when he realized it was Leo. The engineer chuckled lightly to himself as Leo pouted like a child, and Hephaestus picked Leo up in his giant hands.
"Son, Son! Welcome back! It's been forever since we saw each other! When was the last time again?" The god smiled as he brought Leo up in the palm of his giant hand, making them eye level.
"Not since we stopped Gaea from destroying the whole world." Leo grumbled, clearly not happy with seeing his so called 'Dad' again. However, Hephaestus just smiled, mistaking the grumpiness for happiness.
"Well, that was quite a long time ago! I'm sure you, my son, have grown stronger along with your friends, correct?" Leo froze. His friends had grown stronger, but Leo had been to busy tinkering with his machines to practice swordplay like Percy and Jason, or shoot arrows from a bow like Frank.
"Y-yeah I'm a lot stronger now, since I practice every single day." Leo stuttered out, trying to look confident. The mechanic stared at his son for a moment before smiling a bit. Leo couldn't tell if the god saw through his lie or not.
"Nice try Son," So he apparently had, "But that's not what we are here to talk about. There is a much more important topic to talk about," Leo leaned in a little closer from the sitting position he had put himself in, "The gods had decided to right a problem we had forgotten about. We have decided to lift Calypso's curse on the island." Leo stared at his father with wide eyes, not believing what he just heard.
"Re-really?!" Leo suddenly yells out, but the engineer isn't surprised by this sudden outburst. Instead, it seemed like he expected it.
"Really." He grins down at the young brunette, who has a grin plastered to his face now, shining like the sun. "However, I'm going to have to cut this short since I can't keep up the signal for to long. Goodbye Son." Leo replies with a quick 'Goodbye' before waking up abruptly. Seeing it was still midnight, he slipped back under Calypso's comfortable embrace and fell asleep, dreaming about happiness.
~~MEANWHILES~~
Percy sighs and sits up. Annabeth had rolled off of him a long time ago. He rubs his head lightly, a soft groan escaping his lips. Poseidon's son let his gaze travel over all of his friends. Jason and Piper were cuddling under one blanket, as were Frank and Hazel. Calypso had her arms around Leo's waist, and the latter had a soft smile on his lips, one arm underneath the his girlfriend. Percy felt himself shudder as he thought back to his dream and the dreadful words his father had said to him in the empty darkness of his own mind.
"Son, the gods have decided to release Calypso from her prison. However, I do not agree with this decision." His father's voice boomed, coming from all of the directions surrounding the young water-bearer. He stumbled around in the darkness, trying to locate his father's voice, but to no avail since there was only cold darkness for miles.
"W-why?" Percy yelled out into the blackness. A deep chuckle resonated from the darkness, booming inside Percy's ears.
"Because, a great evil will be released along with her. A evil greater than even Gaea." With those last words, the dream had closed and led up to this moment. However, Percy heard one last daunting sentence.
"Your friends will be the greatest enemy of to achieve your goal of saving the world."
